Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 7, Day 1: Sunday, 12th February, 2023. TOPIC: WAITING TIME NOT A WASTED TIME 1: You Renew Strength.

“31. But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;…”

This week, I will be changing our thought about wasted time in life according to the word of the Lord. As the Lord will be leading us to see things differently from others.

When things are not working for us, we term them wasted years. When we are jobless, forgotten, waiting for the fruit of the womb, for spouse and feel neglected, we called them dark period but that’s not what they are, they are time for Strenght Renewal. They are time to change some habit, change our ways and renew our focus on God. 

Apostle James said, “Count it all joy when you fall into different temptations”. Temptations are not just when you are tempted to sin but when you are tempted to quit the path of God. Those situations, as listed above, are temptations that makes us feel we are useless to God and men, forgotten by God but that’s not what God is seeing about it. Let’s take for instance, you have your beans, many may desire to cook it raw, some may desire to make Bean cake, some beans soup and others moimoi, they are all beans product but have different means to achieve them. When you peel the back of your beans to make beans cake or moimoi, you are only processing the beans to give you what you want from it not that you dislike the beans itself, that’s how God sees that situation. Somethings need to be removed from us to become the ‘who’ we are created to be. That time in your life is a renewal process not a forgotten time. Yield to God as he brings out the moimoi in you for your sweetness. Join me tomorrow for continuation. 

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.
