Text: Matthew: 20: 1-16

Time is very important in the life of men; and wasting time is a traumatic period. But very often, men have to hold on and wait on God before one’s desire will come. One thing is sure however: God is never too late; He will come and answer at the right time. Are you waiting on him for a desire/ thing? He will come and answer at the right time.

While waiting, what do you need to do?

Ø You need adequate preparation. Preparation time is not a wasted period; so cultivate the attitude – you won’t regret it.

Ø Refuse to be discouraged ‘’ if you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small’’ (Prov 24:10). ‘’Though it tarries, wait for it, because it will surely come’’ (Haba 2:3).

Ø Look out for opportunities around you (Isa 54:1-2). Always look out for things you can do when there is recession.

Ø Always rejoice in the Lord (Nehe 8:10b), knowing fully well that you will soon laugh.

Ø Be persistent and well focused, knowing fully well that ‘’ though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would increase abundantly’’ (Job 8:7).

Ø So, wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart (Ps 27:14).

Text – Luke 1:5-15

As we see in the text above, Zacharias & Elizabeth were righteous and blameless (v.6) in a period when things were topsy-turvy& when the priesthood was greatly corrupted. They served God diligently. Our Christian life begins with service ie Jesus is not your Lord if you are not actively involved in service.

Because of what that couple was to God’s service, we’ll pick few lessons from the story viz;

Text: 2 Corithians 12:7-10

There are spiritual experiences we have that can make us proud. In the text above, Apostle Paul tells us about a thorn which God allowed satan to put on him so he wouldn’t be proud. But we know that He resists

the proud (Jam 4: 6 Cf 4:10).

That means that the thorn that satan put in his body was for good; that there are enemies that are for our good. Paul classifies these enemies as follows in v 10:
