IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO WAIT ON GOD

Know to be waiting on God.
Knowing to wait on God will not live a life of waste but live life for the glory of God.
This season, in all your going and coming, in all your endeavors, ask God to enable you in waiting on Him continually.
Without a doubt, God is not a careless God that blesses one that does not do according to His word. Those that do as the word of God commands will experience the blessing of God.
Are you expecting the blessing of God that is yet to manifest in your life?
Are you walking in line with God to provoke His blessing over your life?
In this season, know to wait on God. 
Waiting on God is asking from God. 
Ask from God to search you to know your ways, to correct and lead you.
David, a man after the heart of God, knew to wait on God by asking: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24)
Waiting on God will always lead to an unfailing direction of God.
The way to have the rest of God is in waiting on Him, and not waiting on Him is the way to go astray. 
Going astray is rooted in the heart. 
Manifestly, any heart that goes astray will miss in the way of God. 
God is a good God and to end in astray way is not of God. 
God is a God of time and process. 
The time of God is not the same as the time of man, and the process of God is not like the process of man. The timing of God is perfect, and His process is a preparation for where He has time for everyone to be. 
Waiting on God can be defined as to remain unmoving, inactive, or in a state of repose, as until expected manifests. 
Waiting on God is also putting off further activity until later. 
Waiting on God usually entails staying for a short or long time and for a definite purpose, that is, for something expected. 
Without absolute trust in waiting on God, there will be no result emerging from waiting on God. The Psalmist testifies, “O my God, I trust in You; let me not be ashamed; let not my enemies triumph over me. Indeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed; Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.” (Psalm 25:2-3) Trusting in God is what energizes waiting on Him. 
Trusting in God does have blessings, and not to trust in God will also generate curses.
God spoke in Jeremiah 17:5, “…Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord.”  As regard blessing in trusting, the same word of God states in Jeremiah 17:7, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” 
How can you wait on whom you do not trust, to have hope in Him? 
The combination of having trust and hope in place will enable waiting on Him.
There is a consequence when waiting on God to know in your way of life.
Waiting on God will reveal where one is doing wrong in the right place.
UZZAH, in his going out, he did wrong in the place of doing right that leads to his sudden death.
At the time of the return of the Ark of God from the house of Abinadab, the violation of unintentional Uzzah was an error that cost his life. Uzzah touched the Ark of God against the command of God. 
Waiting on God before going out or coming in will deliver one not to become a victim of ERROR the experience of UZZAH.
THE ERROR OF UZZAH:
2 Samuel 6:6-7 “And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error, and he died there by the ark of God.”
A failure to wait on God can lead to physical death (like Uzzah) or can lead to emotional or spiritual death or stagnation in the walk of life.
Wait on God to know and correct what you are doing wrong in the place of doing right.
God is a God of the eleventh hour. The eleventh month of the year is not too late for God to locate you at your expectation. God waits to act for those who wait on Him. Isaiah 64:4 testifies, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.”  Meditate the month as your month of waiting on God.

GIVE REGARD TO GOD, TO KNOW HIM

Fear God, give regard to God more than ever. 
Know God to say yes to live life for God that is able and in position for you not to become a victim of challenges of this world. 
Also, you need to know God with unfailing trust and hope to say no and not be saying yes when impossibility sounds in your direction. 
Give regard to God that gives possibility over impossibility.
Do you know God, not just to know about God?
Give regards to God, get to know Him for you not to become a victim of captivity.
Get to know God, gain the knowledge to be having an edge in your ways of life.
One with the lack of knowledge is with an assurance to enter in the way that leads to captivity. Isaiah 5:13 confirms, “Therefore my people have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.”
Without a doubt, the act of knowing is the way out of captivity. 
For example, giving regards to the work of God is with the consideration for His works and not misplace knowledge of God that keeps one from captivity. 
In life, Isaiah 5:12 clearly states the reason why the lack of knowledge drives to captivity, “…But they do not regard the work of the LORD, nor consider the operation of His hands.”  
Psalmist also confirms that a failure not to give regard to the work of God will destroy life as it states, “Because they do not regard the works of the LORD, nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them and not build them up.” (Psalm 28:5) 
Keep it in mind that the work of God is in the word of God. 
Give regards to God in His word, know to avoid captivity, the way of destruction, and not be built for God.
GIVE REGARDS TO THE WORKS OF GOD
Give regards to the wondrous works of God that declare His name is near to all. Psalm 75:1 testifies, “We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.” 
Why not begin to give regards to the works of His hand to gain and maintain the knowledge to fear God?
In life, not to give regard to the works of God is a way of turning back on God, not knowing that God is near to all at all times. 
In life, there is no excuse not to give regard to the work of God. 
Sodom and Gomorrah did not regard the works of God, and they experienced the judgment of God. If Sodom and Gomorrah could not escape judgment, the present generation will not escape the judgment of God. 
Regard and retain God in your knowledge, abstain from the ungodly and careless way of life before God. 
It is with the knowledge of knowing God, to continually give regard to the works of God not to become a victim of captivity. 
GIVING REGARD IS GIVING ATTENTION TO A CARING GOD
God is a caring God.
Giving regards to God is consciously giving attention to the operation of the hand of God. 
Meditating is a way of giving attention. 
Meditating on the word of God is the meditation of the word of God. 
Know that the word of God creates all the work of God. 
Meditation is not memorizing the word of God in the head. 
Meditation is working on the word of God laboriously in the heart day and night. 
With a desire for the knowledge, to be regarding the work of God and not become a victim of captivity, allow mediation of the word of God to become your way of living life.
Regarding the word of God is looking closely or attentively to observe steadily, to hold in awe (reverence, fear, wonder, respect) to look upon or consider in a specified way. 
Many meditate on the promise of God in the mouth but not meditate in mind. 
With meditating, the word of God in mind, the power of God will answer. Meditate the word of God to disregard doubt because doubt activates the inability to wait on the promise of God that provokes worrying.
In summing-up, 
Without any doubt, God is a mindful God.
King David, in his psalm, with a question, he refers to the mind of God, “Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him?” (Psalm 144:3)
God is mindful of all but are you with the mind of Him by your way of living life? 
Give regard to God to gain, to retain the knowledge of God, and to be mindful of God.
Ask that God will enable you to begin to give regard to Him all the days He has given you to live life.

ALWAYS PREPARE BEFORE GOD

Preparation means the actions taken to get set for the manifestation of expectation.
With preparation to engage the presence of God is to put in a proper state of mind that is prepared to listen. 
Listening is the evidence of understanding gained for knowing to go further in the journey of life. 
The word of Jesus confirms listening as the solution to gain understanding. (John 8:43)
It is possible to say that planning is the step, and preparation is the sequel (the consequence) of expectation. The truth is, you can plan all you want, but if you do not prepare, you will still not be ready to receive your expectation.
Preparation can be described as the level of readiness and with no interruption.
In this season, what are you looking from God to do in your life, to the glory of God?
Receiving from God can be the evidence of preparation physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
In the journey of life, seeking God is evidence of how much you prepare to see God.
Abraham had an encounter with the Lord when he planned to prepare for engaging the presence of God. 
Abraham, in his plan for preparation to receive, he told his wife, “Quickly, make ready three measures of fine meal; knead it and make cakes.” (Genesis 18:6)
After getting his wife to prepare for the Lord, Abraham went to do his part as Genesis 18:7-8 records, “And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it. So he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared and set it before them, and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.” 
Preparation from the depth of heart will always count before God as your integrity to engage the presence of God, and God does not look away not to acknowledge preparation.
The plans and preparation granted Abraham favor before God.
For Abraham, God answered the pending challenge of the bareness of his wife (Sarah). The Bible records, “And He said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.”
God did not look away from the preparation of Abraham. He is not a partial God to look away from your plan and prepare before Him for your expectation.
What is it that is lacking in your life?
What is your expectation that is pending for years, without manifestation?
Do you know to plan and prepare to receive from God?
Understand and know that:
Plan and preparation before God is the evidence of hallowing God.
Plan and preparation before God is the action that weighs before God, and it counts to experience God. 1 Samuel 2:3 buttresses, “…For the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him, actions are weighed.”  
Plan and preparation before God will gain to be a partaker of the presence of God.
Are you with the plan and know the preparation to be build up before God, to inheritance among the sanctified?
Acts 20:32 records, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.”
With plan and preparation to build you up to receive an inheritance from God, give time, and by studying the word of God. 
With time, study, and let the word of God gain entrance into your heart.
Plan and preparation before God enable David to build for God through his son. 1 Chronicles 22:5 records, “Now David said, “Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it.” So David made abundant preparations before his death.”
Plan and preparation is faith demonstration.
Repeatedly, through the pages of the Bible, the word of God identifies that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17). Take to mind that the Word of God which comes can also cease from coming when there is disengagement from hearing the Word of God. All that pertains to living life is living by the Word of God (living by faith). 
Plan and preparation before God should be a way of living not to become a victim of wickedness.
Plan and preparation will provoke God to remember you with favor and visit you with salvation. 
For example, Jesus could not command for Passover without having preparation in place.  Matthew 26:19 records the testimony of preparation before Passover as Jesus asked, “So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.”
Ask God to IMPACT you with having preparation before Him continually.
The plan and preparation of Abraham to have an encounter with God granted him the remembrance and visitation of God.
In your plan and preparation before God, ask that God will remember you with favor, and visit you with salvation.

CONTINUALLY PRAY FOR DELIVERANCE

Romans 15:4 admonishes all saying, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.”
God has spoken and is still speaking through His written word to all.
All that God has said for your learning but not able to see in His word to receive, to become of you, is the evidence of lack of understanding.
The word warned that the reason for the lack of understanding is rooted in not being able to LISTEN (John 8:43)
What you hear and not listening will not gain entrance into your heart. When you can give yourself to hear repeatedly, as word of God demands (So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God Roman 10:17)  evidently, your heart has received word, to live life before God. Psalm 119:130 mentions it, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
Many are claiming to be a believer but not true until one begins to live life, by the word of God.
Does the word of God have a place in your heart?
If you are a believer, meaning to be-living life by the word of God, then you are a believer that Jesus calls out as light. Matthew 5:14 records, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.” 
Are you the light of the world or the darkness of the world?
Are you an unbelieving believer that is claiming or answering as a believer, as the light of the world, but not living life by the word of God? 
If you are the light, you are one that is not in the dark, not living in sin, a life of wickedness.
Claiming the word of God in the mouth but far from the heart is identified in Jeremiah 12:1-2 as wicked. Jeremiah spoke before God, “Righteous are You, O Lord when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; They grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth but far from their mind.” (Jeremiah 12:1-2)
Who are you before God?
Listen, the world is not worth living if one does not have Christ, knowing about God but not to know God. It is time to search for yourself, prayerfully come out of sin, seek God, to live life for the glory of God. 
IN THIS CHALLENGING TIME, COME OUT OF SIN, NOT TO MISS HEAVEN. 
A decorated name for sin is PRIDE. 
Living a life of sin is not seeking God diligently to separate one from God because it is rooted in pride.
Pride is a personal ride to self-destruction.
Romans 3:23 points out that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Give attention to going against sin and know that there should be no encouragement for delaying your coming out of sin to live life for God.
The desire to live life for the glory of God should be of seeking God diligently. 
With sin, man is not seeking God and will not see God. 
It is not possible to be seeking God diligently and be telling lies as a way of life, deceiving and manipulating others, expecting to see God. 
Does that speak to you?
In this challenging time, continually pray for the hand of God over your life.
Acts 6:4 admonish us, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” (Act 6:4)
Praying for the hand of God is a non-stop prayer point to experience the deliverance of God. 
God delivered the Israelites out of Egypt with His RIGHTEOUS HAND, by His STRETCH OUT hand, and by His STRONG HAND, from Pharaoh yet, they did not stop from calling on God for deliverance because the enemy continues to go after them.
We do not stop praying for deliverance.
The enemy approached the Israelites the Red Sea, but Moses directed them to the prayer of deliverance saying to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” (Exodus 14:13)
Ask from God to enable you not to be afraid, to be able to stand still (not looking for help from no man, the evidence of having faith in God), and to see to receive and become victorious over the challenging of today.

ALLOW THE ORDER OF GOD TO TAKE OVER YOUR WAYS

The order of God, is the direction, directive, the demand of God in the journey of life for all, not to live a life of waste.
Living life outside of the order of God is the route of untimely death.
Hezekiah was out of order before God and set for an untimely death. He prayed to God for his deliverance, and God answered by sending the Prophet Isaiah to him for his restoration from death. (2 Kings 20:1-6)
Among the ORDER of God for all not to live a life waste are: knowing to remind God, knowing to watch, and pray.
Know to remind God:
God demand in Isaiah 43:25-26, “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins. Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.”
God is true to His word if you will give self to the word of God.
Through the pages of the Bible, it is clear that God does not forget but expects all to remind Him.
He is God that remembers.
God rained and, it flooded the world of Noah forty days and night.
God remembered Noah in the flood of water of sin and affliction and made the flood to become subsided.
Genesis 8:1 record, “Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.”
God waits to act for waiting on Him (Isaiah 64:4)
Ask, seek and Knock is the order of God for all not to be in disorder, it is the direction, directive, the demand of Jesus (Matthew 7:7)
Ask, seek, and knock is to Pray, watch while knock with expectation for manifestation.
Asking is waiting, and you should ask from Him according to His word.
King David was a man after the heart of God, and he knows to remind God.
In Psalm 25:6-7, David says, “Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.”
Besides King David, Psalmist also reminds God in Psalm 106:4, saying, “Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation.” 
All should learn from the word of God to learn, know, and do, to claim the promise of God.
Know to watch, and pray: Another order of God that is His direction, directive, demand from all not to be a waste in living life is the word of Jesus that says, “WATCH AND PRAY”
There is no place where Jesus demand from all to pray but only demands from all to “WATCH AND PRAY”
A believer praying without watching or watching without praying is out of the ORDER of God, to miss manifestation of expectation from God.
Believers are simple, knows to pray but not watch as a prudence one.
Proverbs 14:15 describes, “The simple believers every word, but the prudent considers well his steps”
Believer (simple ones) that pray but not watch is without PRUDENCE, and not in a position to be saved in trouble times. 
Proverbs 22:3 testifies, “A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished.”
Prophet of God, Elijah demonstrates what it means to watch and pray.
Elijah prayed and watched for the rain to fall after he had prayed to cease rain. 
Elijah watched and prayed seven times so as not to miss the move of God for an answer.
1 Kings 18:42-44 document the watching and praying of Elijah to rain,  “And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees, and said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” So, he went up and looked, and said, “There is nothing.” And seven times he said, “Go again.” Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, “There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!” So, he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.”
Order to watch and pray, in the word of Jesus repeatedly states, 
Mark 13:33, “Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.” This for all us not to sleep to miss the coming back of God.”
Mark 14:38, “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 
It is important to know that, 1 Peter 4:7, “But the end of all things is at hand; therefore, be serious and watchful in your prayers.”
Pray for self and family 
Ask that God will enable you/all to live in the order of His word.
