YOUR WALK OF FAITH REQUIRES PATIENCE

“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, And he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: ….” Hebrews 10:35-38 (KJV)

Your walk of faith is not in vain. But it requires patience. The saints of old combined faith with patience. “that ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” (Hebrews 6:12 KJV)

There is a place for patience. Don’t jump out of the pot. Let the yam be done! Let the food be done! Don’t eat raw food. This is one of the things that our musicians need to learn. As a songwriter, you must learn to stay at it. Stay in God’s presence before the music is released, otherwise, it will not carry the weight that is required. When some musicians release an album, it is always hot cake because it was birthed in the Spirit. So, when they pull it out, it is not about entertainment, the breath of God is upon it. If you truly know the Spirit, you will want to listen to such music.

Challenges will come. People will laugh at you. There will be misconceptions and accusations. But when you know where you are going, you are not bothered by the naysayers. According to the scriptures: “…when God made a promise to Abraham because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.” (Hebrews 6:13-15 KJV)

There is a place for patient endurance! Don’t be in a haste. Whatever you are doing, do it well. Let it be the best. You must aim high. Let your excellent products and services speak on your behalf. You will not be lost in the crowd. People, that matter will look for you. The matter will not end until you arrive. Creation will favour you.
