Topic: Waiting On The Lord.
By Rev. Ramson A. Darteh
======================
Reference: Isaiah 40:31
‘But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.’
Waiting on the Lord entails fasting, prayers and meditation on the Word. Waiting, in reality ‘detoxifies’ us of carnality, and makes the strength of God available to us. It is said that ‘one cannot be God full till he or she is self empty.’
In the reference text above, Prophet Isaiah compares the process the eagle goes through to the experience anyone who waits on the Lord undergoes.
It is speculated that an eagle lives an average of fifty years. During its mid life, it undergoes a crisis and starts loosing its strength. It consequently soars to the top of a very high mountain, and after finding a safe place; plucks off its feathers, beats its beak and claws out, and almost naked, waits patiently.
After some time, the feathers, beak & claws grows out again with renewed strength. It is then empowered to live out it’s full life cycle,
In much the same way, as believers, it gets to a point where we faint, get discouraged and literally feel ‘empty.’ Taking time off to wait on the Lord is synonymous to ‘shedding off’ our weaknesses, failures and deficiencies, and receiving strength from God to enable us live an overcoming life.
It must be noted that one cannot renew what one does not have. We often renew expired passports and licenses. Much the same way as we wait on the Lord in fasting and prayers, we re-new our sagging strength, and consequently ‘mount up with wings as eagles; .. run, and not be weary; and .walk, and not faint.’ May that be our portion in the mighty name of Jesus! Shalom
Prayers Points-
1. As l wait on the Lord, l shall be exhalted above my enemies in the mighty name of Jesus. Ps.37:34.
2. As l wait on the Lord, I shall possess my possessions this year in the mighty name of Jesus. Obadiah 1:17
3. The Lord will lift me up from
the horrible pit, and set my feet on a rock to stay. Psalm 40:1-2
🚨 INVITATION*. This serves to invite you to our Prayer Meeting to climax the fast, this evening, from 6:30pm to 8:45pm. This will go on simultaneously in all the branches. . A warm welcome awaits you. Jesus is Lord.
