APPs = Applying Positive
Practices
“Apply the Positive Practice
of Patience with God’s Promise”
Now the LORD
was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had
promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to
Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him.
(Genesis 21:1-2)
Patience
with God’s Promise is understanding
“It’s Yours but are you waiting on it
or is it waiting on you?” (BKLC)
Dr. Rosché says: This whole month of February we discussed the
importance of patience, which is “waiting with the right attitude.” In our lives we must be patient with others
to show love, patient with
ourselves to show hope, but
most importantly patient with God to show Faith. In the above biblical account, Sarah and
Abraham had to wait several years before God showed them manifestation of the
promise he had spoken to them. Sometimes
we ask the Lord when will it be my turn? My turn to have enough money to supply my
needs and wants? My turn to have a husband? My turn to have a wife? My turn to
have a house? My turn to have children? My turn, My turn, My turn!!! Psalms 37:4 states that if we “take delight in
the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” God has planted
dreams and promises inside of us and desires for us to have everything beyond
what we ask and think.
However, the question is not when will it be my turn but am I ready for what God has for me? If you are ready, it will be shown in your
behavior. You don’t have excess money, but
are you a good money manager (tithes, savings, bills paid on time)? You
don’t have a husband or wife, but are you emotionally ready for unforeseen ups
and downs of the relationship? To the men: Are you a Manager? Women: Are
you a Helper? You don’t have a house, but are you willing to make
necessary sacrifices to get it? You want children but are you willing to go
through the correct biblical order in becoming a
Man>Husband>Father Woman>Wife>Mother?
Are you Ready, Ready, Ready?
Bishop
Clark explains the process is taking time in order for God to...
Shape Us
·
Getting us ready for what God has prepared. Are you mentally, emotionally, socially,
physically, spiritually developed enough to accept the promise?
Strengthen
Us
·
Are you ready for everything that comes with the promise? Are
you ready for the responsibilities? Management? Haters?
Show Us
·
Who He is in our lives. Are
you ready to give God all the glory?
Will you worship and praise Him even after you get what you want? Will you continue to go to church and be his
servant in ministry?
I know it’s WORK and it’s easier to continue to do the same thing over and over again because you and Drama have become such close friends over the years, but break yourself from this friend and introduce yourself to some new friends named Peace, Hope, and Success. Nobody said it would be easy, but God hasn’t brought you this far to LEAVE you. Remember to ask for HIS Guidance in beginning this process. I am here for you too and I’m willing to answer any questions you may have about what hinders your ability to make progress in this area.
