“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)
It is important that you find out what God’s agenda is concerning a thing so that you don’t run in vain. Once you find out, you discover that the many days and months you spend in waiting will be recovered. It could be that you ask; Lord, what exactly are you doing? What are you saying concerning this issue that I am faced with on my job? God wants you to call unto Him concerning your business, your marriage, your profession and your ministry.
When you call upon God, He will answer you and show you things you do not know. He will show you how you will be able to take the city. As a minister, He will show you how people can receive their miracles. If you are a preacher, He will show you what to preach. He will show you how to impart lives. He will show you how to put your papers together so that the business opportunity that you are pursuing will succeed. It is important, therefore, that we develop the habit of spending time with God.
In the book of Philippians 1:6, apostle Paul said: “Being confident of this very thing…” (KJV). When you know what God is doing, it produces confidence. When you know what God is doing, you are assured, you are not worried. You must be confident in the knowledge that God has started a good work in you, and He will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. “…He who hath begun…” (KJV). That means I have found out what He is building. That means He started it. He dropped the ideas in me. I am, therefore, guaranteed, that no matter the wind that blows against me, it will be completed. So, I am not in any way anxious. I am not wondering how things will turn out because I know it must turn out well. Glory to God. Child of God, Whatever you do, take time to pray and ask Him which direction to go.
