Open Heavens 2012-12 December-COMPLETE THE CIRCLE


Pst. E.A. Adeboye 12 December

COMPLETE THE CIRCLE

Memorise: Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling? Job 7:1

Read: Job 7:1-3

In Acts 1:7, Jesus told His disciples that they may not be privileged to know the times and seasons that God has reserved to Himself. In the same way, you may not be told when certain things will take place in your life; but what is most important is that you need to trust Him to fulfil His promises in your life. According to Psalms 126:! -3, by the time God finally steps into that unpleasant situation and reverses it, the beneficiary of the turnaround would seem like a dreamer. This season, the Lord will speedily intervene in your situation and turn it around for good in Jesus name.

Abraham received a great promise from God which he expected would come to pass. Every season of fruitfulness came and passed. Others were fruitful including his slaves, neighbours and animals but he was barren. At some point, the Lord visited him and repeated the promise He made earlier (Genesis 18:1-14). Has God repeated the same promise He has given to you before? Are you tired of such repetitions? Don't be! When God repeats something, it shows He has not forgotten what He earlier said. God is faithful. Unknown to Abraham, God had reserved a particular time to fulfil His promises in his life. Every day, week, month or year that passed by brought him closer to his expectation. But when will it be? He could not tell. An interesting thing to note here is that no matter how close you are to God, you must complete your circle of waiting. There are no short cuts! Abraham was called the friend of God. He had visitors from Heaven who wined and dined with him; he almost thought his day had come only to be told that his day was still coming, this is after 23 years of waiting; he was told that he would still have to complete the circle for at least another year. The following year, Isaac was born. Are you saying you have waited enough for that particular blessing? Do not bungle the process of waiting. You are closer to your miracle than when the process began. Wait! Be patient and prayerfully wait. You shall have your desires!

PRAYER POINT
Father, grant me the grace to wait the full circle and not destroy the change process You have began in me in Jesus name.
