It’s quite difficult when you’re in a certain era in your life when you’re literally just waiting. Technically, I pray that the holy ghost gives me the words to describe what it means to wait on God for a breakthrough that seems almost impossible and difficult. The season of waiting is a season where we are yet to experience God in a marvellous and tremendous way possible, when the odds are literally against us and there’s nowhere else to go or nothing to do in other to change your situation for the better. There and then, we become fixated on things, thoughts and mindset that could either make the situation become worst or much more difficult than it was. I’ve been able to identify certain setbacks and problematic outcomes of life that’ll leave you completely devastated and broken in many different ways, especially when you’re on a walk with God, and there’s a calling on your life that must be fulfilled no matter what. Then, one becomes subjected to the process of being tutored by the Holy Spirit as a symbol of discipline, to shape and grow your character that God’ll use in other to change the world. This symbol of stewardship isn’t rosey and groovy, matter of fact, your understanding of God will be developed based on the level of God expression that’s meant to be seen through you and within you. There’s a recreational process that God wants himself to be seen within men, a less traveled path that leaves you with no choice. However in such a season like the waiting season, it’ll seem like you’re going backwards rather than moving forward from the things you healed from. It’s like a resurgence of what may seem like forgotten or outgrown, or something you might have overcome in the past. It’s in such a time like this that the devil becomes more chaotic in turbulence and spiritual warfare heightened, I believe that there are certain seasons and challenges that emerges in a man’s life that you cannot pray your way out of it. You might be fully aware that the devil is attacking you, and each time you pray against it, it’ll seem like it’s getting worse. In such a time like that all you need is to pray for God’s grace to endure and walk through it.
A biblical reference of God’s waiting room season all started with Jesus himself, when he went up to mount sinai and fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, praying and spending time with God before he began his ministry. I believe that Jesus to feel closer to his father in other to be close enough to experience his father. So in other for the father to be glorified in the son, there must be a cultivated sense of friendship, loyalty and trust that’s deeply rooted in love and obedience. But in those moments, the devil makes himself visible just as he was to Jesus. I believe that the essence of the devil waiting for such a time like this to strike, is just so he’d gain legal right to persecute believers in the presence of the father, proving that they’re not worthy for any position that the lord has promised them. The bible made it clear that Jesus was tempted by satan 3 times, and in response to that Jesus rebuked satan 3 times using the word of God saying ‘For it is written’. I believe that as believers of Jesus, you and I are not exempted from this.
