Don't be a quitter.

I have found myself confused about His ways at times. I pray seriously about a situation but don't get any result at the time. Sometimes, the threat is ongoing and you just want a way of escape.

Have you prayed about a situation or believed Gods word concerning a trial you are facing and you find that it didn't work?

Well I have news for you. God's word is true and works, just not in the way and time you expect.

It is a hard truth. My husband and I were discussing this one night and God said to us, ' you are at my mercy.'

You ask God for financial breakthrough because you have been unable to get money to pay your school fees or your rent. You say the word, you act out your fath with actions such as sowing seeds, paying your tithes and doing more in your job or business, yet no increase and then you are forced out of school or given a quit notice.

At that point, you begin to wonder why God didn't intervene when you needed him to and if his word is really true,

When you get to that point, know that the devil intends for you to disbelieve God.

If there's anything I have learnt over the last few years of my life, is that God is understood backward, but we have to follow Him forward. He is understood in retrospect, but only when you have taken the step of faith to believe and follow His lead will you discover the answers to some of the questions you have been asking.

It is really a trial of your faith, but do you know that you only need to be more patient and trust God that He has a better plan for you concerning the challenges you face? It is not immediately apparent at that time, but you have got to remember what He has done for you in the past and know that His word is true, regardless of what you are facing at that time.

You are almost there...your breakthrough is just around the corner, don't give up yet.

In judges 20, the children of Israel wanted to go to battle with the children of benjamin. They went out to seek God and ask if they should go out to battle or not. God said they should go. They went and were defeated. They ran back to God and enquired of Him and He said,  "Go", and they went and were defeated. They yet again went back to God. And He said He would deliver the children of Benjamin to them. And after a hard battle, they won. Why didn't the children of Israel give up? They went back to God after a defeat. 

We must never give up. God will come through admist tears....but He will.

He may delay but He will come through.

Tarry on. Don't give up on that dream. Deliverance is on the way.
