Topic : PERSEVERANCE Is One Of the Kep Steps To Fruitfulness And Success. We Live In A Time Of Instant Noodles, T20 Cricket, Tik Tok, Where We Are Hungry And Anxious For Quick Results.
The secret of Paulβs fruitfulness was that he practiced patience in trials.
1 Thessalonians 2:2: But even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict
We want our works to produce fruit, but do we understand that every fruit has a season and a time for it? We need to have the perseverance to wait for Godβs timing.
Acts 16 speaks of Paulβs ministry and sufferings in Philippi. They were beaten with rods and put in prison for the sake of the gospel. Many of us would have quit. Many today would have seen Paulβs imprisonment as a closed door, end of the chapter, but it wasnβt. It was an attempt of Satan to stop them. Satan is trying to stop us from every side.
A patient told the doctor who asked him to diet, βDonβt talk to me about improving my diet. I ate apples last three days and nothing has changed now.β
Yes! We are sometimes like this patient. We live in a time of instant noodles, T20 cricket, Tik Tok, where we are hungry and anxious for quick results. We often get worked up on delays or simple things and quit. Every of our hard work has an appointed time for the harvest, if donβt quit half way.
Donβt quit, donβt let your circumstances get better off you! You may be saying, I just do not feel things will work out? God does not work on our feelings, sometimes our feelings are given by the devil too.
Maybe you are struggling with a crisis now, fighting a court case, got bad medical report, facing crisis in your career, marriage not working out, you may feel all alone and weak.
I want to tell you that you have a God appointed time of fruitfulness.
Through Jesus you have the DNA to succeed. Donβt be discouraged looking at your circumstances or the other successful people.
You trust in Godβs power and persevere. it is just a matter of time that you see fruit. I believe great times are coming your way because it is not over yet until God says it is over. Amen.
When we give and surender our lives to Christ we have entered into a new realm of fruitfulness and success.
