Faith Capsule: He shall perform regardless of how long it takes.
Ezekiel 37
Ezekiel testified about God’s conversation with him, “Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.” (Ezekiel 37:1-3) Ezekiel gave the right answer but God promised to give life to the dry bone and caused Ezekiel to know that He is Lord. God does not need to prove Himself to no man. The point to take out of this is that if He has spoken into to your life, He shall perform it regardless of how long it takes.
The mountain that was before David was created by King Saul in attempt to deny David where the Lord was taking David. After the death of Saul, David eventually became the king just as the Lord had planned for him to be. The book of 2 Samuel 5:1-3 recorded, “Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, ‘Indeed we are your bone and your flesh. Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the LORD said to you, ‘You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over Israel.’’ Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. And they anointed David king over Israel.” King David was anointed the third time. The first time was when Samuel anointed David, the second time was his rule over Judah and the third was his rule over the whole nation. The word of God came to pass in the life of David because God has never failed. All that the Lord has spoken into your life for your breakthrough shall not fail but will come to pass to the glory of God. In spite of his challenges when the appointed time was there, nothing could possible relocate David out of God’s divine agenda for David.
It is written, “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.” (2 Samuel 5:4-5) It is important to note it and know that the time David spent in running and hiding for his life by the hand of Saul was nothing to compare with the years that he spent reigning and ruling as God ordained. The mountain that refuses to fall for you shall fall flat and all your pain shall be converted to gain.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to keep on keeping on by trusting God for your appointed time.
