FAITH CAPSULE: A failure to abandon waiting is a passage to be abounding in waste.

Luke 15:11-31
 
To be in a state of lack where there is plenty in place is a direct result of the inability not to wait for God’s finger to move. The Apostle Paul already said that our need would be supplied according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Why not wait? Why the effort to move into wasting away? In the parable of the lost son (Luke 15:11-32), it was clearly demonstrated that the prodigal son entered into a state of want because he could not wait for his appointed time. The prodigal son intervened in God’s timing for his life by twisting the clock. A Clock is not registered in heaven; God operates not by man’s clock but by His appointed time. The parable mentioned that the prodigal son was the younger of two sons who could not wait for the portion of goods that falls to him. Why the rush where there is so much to receive in the place of waiting? Have you entered into self-designed rush lately? Not to be able to wait is to abide in waste. The prodigal son got his portion, journeyed to a far country, and wasted his inheritance. Jesus’ parable is not a play write-up; it is in place for our learning and correction. The word is to serve as instruction to guide in every walk of life. Evidently in life, any type of abundance set for man that’s given at the wrong time will lavishly be exhausted and could not be appreciated as compared to what is received while going through the pain of waiting. The prodigal son did not wait. As a result, he was bound to end up wasted. The prodigal son ended up where he was not called to be because his timing in the journey of life was interrupted by his inability to wait for God’s time. It is written concerning the prodigal son, “And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land and he began to be in want.” (Luke 15: 13-14) Any time one walks out of God’s timing, one ends up in wrong timing. Obedience brings forth blessing while disobedience brings forth cursing. God cannot be deceived neither can He be mocked. God’s word has never changed neither shall He lower the standard of expectation. Wait on God and you will never step into mistakes. It is absolutely true that none ever complained of falling or stepping into grievous mistake while waiting on God.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace that prompts man from going out of waiting into wasting away there life.
