David is anointed as a shepherd boy and waits over twenty years for the throne, refusing to seize by force what God had promised by grace. Solomon inherits his father's preparation, asks for a hearing heart, and watches the glory of the Lord fill the temple he built. Pastor Olubi Johnson traces faith joined to patience, from the cave at En Gedi to the dedication at Jerusalem, and the reminder that a glorious beginning does not guarantee a faithful ending.

None of Israel's judges was more spectacularly gifted, and none fell more publicly. Pastor Olubi Johnson traces Samson's story from a consecration he never chose, through the slow erosion of mixture and compromise, to the devastating moment he did not know the Lord had departed from him, and to a prison cell where the hair began to grow again. A message on the difference between anointing and character, and what it means to finish strong even after finishing poorly.

A Moabitess, shut out of the covenant by the law itself, becomes the great-grandmother of King David. Pastor Olubi Johnson traces Ruth's journey from costly consecration, through the patient labour of gleaning, to redemption at the hand of Boaz, her kinsman-redeemer. A prophetic teaching on what it costs, and what it produces, to move from serving to sitting, from gleaning to bridal union with Christ.

Two words for time in the Greek New Testament: chronos, the steady march of days, unglamorous, absolutely necessary; and kairos, the appointed moment when heaven invades earth. Galatians 4:4: when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son. Passover fulfilled on the exact day. Pentecost fulfilled on the exact day. Tabernacles still coming. And for every believer, a personal fulness of time determined not by the calendar but by whether patience has completed her perfect work in the soul.
