KEY 17: THE KEY OF PATIENCE

HEBREWS 6:12

That you do not become sluggish but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

STUDY||HEBREWS 11:8-16

A story was told of a believer who went to see his pastor. He explained to the pastor that he was always in haste and that he needs the spirit of patience. The pastor asked him “when do you want it”, Now! He Reply sharply. The pastor laughed. 

We have a generation who knows nothing about the virtue of patience. This is a microwave age where results are “sharp sharp”. 

I also call this the key of understanding times and seasons. Greatness is like a seed, it takes time and process before it becomes a tree. 

You must be patient if your name must be written on the sand of history. 

It took Noah 120 years to build the Ark, Moses 80 years to fulfil his ministry, David about 15 years to became king from when he was anointed.  It took Jesus 30 years to prepare for a 3-year ministry. 

True greatness takes time, it takes process, without giving up on what you are doing. 

Greatness will require your endurance, perseverance and persistence. 

It may not come the time you want but if you keep at it, one day greatness will show up at your door step. 

REFLECTION

I receive the Spirit of Patience in Jesus name.
