YOUR WAITING SEASON CAN BE YOUR LAUNCHING SEASON

It was September 2009, the Universities were on strike that year and my mobilization to Nigerian Law School was not yet effected. But I committed the time to reading and studying in the middle of the night. I wanted to invest my time in personal development.

I was reading “Principles and Benefits of Change” written by Dr. Myles Munroe at about 3 am that morning at the dining table in my parents’ home. The word of the Lord came to me, “Son, there is a repositioning coming to the land of Eruwa and I want you to be there to reap the harvest”. That was the second time in 17 months when the Lord would speak to me about my future.

Friend, do not waste your waiting season.

Your Waiting season is a shaping season. God uses the season to make you before presenting you. It is not just about Joseph having a prison break, it is about Joseph being in shape to champion the divine course of preserving a lineage that is key to the divine agenda. Offence must die. Hurt must be dealt with. Love must reign.

An unshaped but enthusiastic person can become a borrowed vessel for a devilish and demonic agenda. If Joseph was still hurt and offended after getting into a position of power, he would have allowed hunger to kill his brothers.

If you will maximize waiting, you must be sensitive to the information that heaven will bring to you. On a casual day, great things can begin to happen. Abraham was sitting at the entrance of his tent when God visited.

Create an environment where the communion of the Holy Spirit can take place with your prepared heart. Set aside time to fast and pray.

Grow mentally. Cultivate the mindset needed at the level where God is taking you.

Grow spiritually. Life is spiritual. Build spiritual capacity in both the gifts of the Spirit and in the fruit of the Spirit. Charisma without character will result in a huge crash.

Grow relationally. Relate properly with those the Lord will bring your way in your waiting season. They may have weighty roles to play in your new season.

Grow in Grace. Grace manifests when you grow. Jesus grew and the grace of God was upon Him. Growth gives grace better tools to work with and a better “you” to partner with.

Do not waste your waiting season.
