TOPIC: WAITING TIME NOT A WASTED TIME 2: Learning Process.
MEMORY VERSE:
James 1:2-4.
“2. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
BIBLE READING:
Genesis 42:23.
“23. And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.”
Today, we will be studying another reason for waiting period. Waiting period is a Learning Process. During waiting period, God teaches you all you need to know about where you’re going. When you remain in your comfort zone, you’ll lack a lot of knowledge to accomplish what God has for you. If you are to go through it there, you won’t see the learning process important so there’s need for God to take you out of that comfort zone to learn in a hard way.
Joseph will rule over the Egyptian some day as second in command, so to function rightly, he needed to understand the Egyptian language, he need to be fluent in hearing and speaking the language. If God had told him to learn the language in Canaan land he would be asking, why would I learn the Egypt language? What do we have in common? So, God had to take him out of his comfort zone to live in Egypt for thirteen good years inorder to understand the language. How are you learning the process? Hope you’re not being carried away about your comfort zone? God took you out of that place so you can be comfortable to learn what you lack. Be sensitive to know what God is teaching you in your present state. When you feel lost where you are, know that the Lord brought you there to learn new things, your waiting period is a time to get new knowledge.
Good Morning and God Bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
