Sight for Sore Eyes

-

Life’s uncertainties, trials, and prolonged delays often test our patience and belief. However, what God is doing in your life will be a sight for sore eyes, a testimony of His glory unfolding in His perfect time. Though the journey may seem long, His plans are never delayed; they are being perfected.

Abraham is often celebrated as the father of faith, but his journey began with a call to leave his homeland. What many overlook is that his father, Terah, was also called to journey toward Canaan but stopped halfway in Haran. Terah’s delay resulted in an incomplete journey, while Abraham’s obedience, despite the long years of waiting for a promised son, led to the fulfillment of God's covenant. This contrast teaches us that waiting on God requires patience and active faith. Abraham waited twenty-five years for Isaac, yet when the promise came, it was far greater than he could have imagined. His descendants became a mighty nation, and through his lineage, the Messiah was born.

Joseph’s story further illustrates the beauty of waiting on God. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, falsely accused by Potiphar’s wife, and imprisoned for years, Joseph endured what seemed like endless suffering. However, his faith never wavered. Even in prison, God’s favor was upon him. What looked like a series of misfortunes was actually divine preparation. The very prison that confined him became the place where he interpreted dreams, leading to his elevation. In a single moment, God turned his years of waiting into a testimony, positioning him as the second-in-command over Egypt. What seemed like a delay was, in reality, a setup for something far greater than he could have imagined. His story reminds us that waiting on God is not about inactivity but about preparation for a season of extraordinary breakthrough.

The beauty of the process is that waiting on God is never in vain. It is a journey that shapes character, prepares for greater glory, and proves God's faithfulness. What seems like a delay is often a divine setup for something much greater. His promises always come to pass, and when they do, they stand as undeniable testimonies for all to see.

If you are in a season of waiting, take heart. God is working behind the scenes in ways beyond your imagination. Your testimony will be a blessing to you and inspire others to see the greatness of His power. Keep believing. Keep trusting. When the appointed time comes, you will witness the beauty of His plan unfolding in your life.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

-
Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol...

EXCUSES

-
Excuse me, man, excuses are never going to be genuine says, my philosophical friend. There is no amount of excuse that you give in not doing a thing that will be enough a substitute to doing that thing. You need to know that you have huge excuses on your path in your making process. Excuse your body will give, your desire will give, your lack of one thing or the other will give, so as not to achieve a task. Beware. Excuses will limit the height you should travel in life. Excuses present themselves as your disadvantages, your limitations, your huge boundary, or a mountain to climb. If you don't wake up and deal with every tenable and untenable excuse, you won't go far. The spy sent by Moses came back with devastating excuses that were enough to cause the people not to go on and possess their promised land. Only two stood out with different testaments. The land is filled with milk and honey but there is an obstacle that can get you stuck on the road without entering the land. The...

THE USERS AND THE ABUSERS

-
If there is a bottomless pit, there is a roofless height. Some stuff you get to go through in life is God's module in making you become his own best version of you: a man or woman with no limit. Yes, with no limit. You are in God's program. Some deep pit that you may have been buried in may seem so deep that you sink into it more by the day based on your calculation. But in God's agenda, if the pit is so deep, the height of glory is roofless. There is no plateau in and with God. Once, you have been correctly planted and you germinate well, expect God to move you up the ladder higher and higher. Once you don't deviate from the right principle in God, you can be certain that there is a roofless height of manifestation. For young people, make sure you are planted well. Don't worry if those who "use" you. Learn well, don't give up, and ultimately stay in God. Be aware of the "abusers" too. Runaway from this set of people. They won't allow you...
