Acts. 13:2
When you wait on God, you are connected to divine direction. Spending time with God has a lot of benefits for the Christians. You don’t lose when you wait on God by spending time with Him. Let us delve in to consider two (2) benefits of waiting on the Lord.
1. Waiting on the Lord is key to divine direction- When you wait on God, you are connected to divine direction.
May be you are at a point in life where you have done all you knew how to do. May be you are at that point when you don’t know what next to do. What to do is to wait on God for direction.
In Acts 13:2, as the disciples of Jesus waited on the Lord and prayed, the Holy Ghost said, “separate unto me Barnabas and Saul for the work I have called them”.
You get direction and clarity when you wait on God. God shows you what to do and how to do it, when you wait on Him.
2. Waiting on the Lord is key to the Glory. The Lord deposits His glory on us when we hang around Him.
When you have stayed with God for a long a long time, by the time you step out, people would begin to notice a different dimension of glory on your life. This was what happened to Moses in Exodus 34:29. Before this time, Moses had camped with God for 40 years. He stayed in the presence of God to the point that a portion of God’s glory left God and rested on him.
When you stay with God, you contact His glory. “When you wait on God, you are connected to divine direction”.
Directives:
i, Be determined to assess divine direction by waiting on God and spending time in His presence.
ii, Desire for a deposit of His righteousness and glory as you spend time in His presence.
Divine declaration:
“Lord, I receive the grace to tarry with you. I ask that you grant me access to divine direction and a deposit of your glory upon my life, in Jesus’ Name”, Amen!.
