Is the Lord Waiting for Your Response?

30/8/2021

There are times that the Lord speaks to us; He gives a promise or reveals the intentions of His heart to us; only for us to sit and wait for it to happen.
​
However did you realise that sometimes the Lord is waiting for us to respond to what He has said or declared over us?

Picture


​Let us have a look from scripture:

The Lord told Abraham that he would be a father of nations when he no child yet from Sarah ( Genesis 17; 5).

We can further down the same chapter find Abrahams initial response “Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?” (Genesis 17; 17).

However when we get to the new testament we can see a further revelation of the  response from Abraham to what God said.

“17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness (Romans 4: 17- 22).

This is Abraham's response in a nutshell
  • Who against hope believed in that he might become the father of nations hope according to that which was spoken.
  • He was not weak in faith
  • He considered not his own body now dead
  • He considered not the deadness of Sarah’s womb
  • He staggered not at the promise of God
  • He was strong in faith giving glory to God
  • Abraham was fully persuaded that; what God promised He was able to perform.​
Verse 21 defines Abrahams response “He was fully persuaded”; note the word “fully”.

So my question to you is:
  • What has the Lord revealed or said to you?
  • Are you putting some action to what the Lord has said?
  • Are you preparing yourself?

God said it and He is able to perform it.

If Abraham's response was not necessary it would not be recorded  in the bible nor counted as “righteousness" ( Romans 4; 22).
Let it be said of us “that we are fully persuaded that what God said He is able to perform”.
​
Let us take whatever steps we need to take to be in agreement with what the Lord has revealed to us.

Bisi, your post is so on point. We often miss out on what God wants to do on our behalf because we fail to be proactive in faith. The Bible refers to this as dead faith.
