Wait Patiently


David the famous Bible psalmist argues in the 40th psalm of his Book, “I waited patiently upon the Lord, He heard my voice and my cry, He pulled me out of the quicksand, He put a new song of praise in my mouth and set me up on secure ground. “Have you ever found your life at a palace when you are sinking deep into a lifestyle that is so dreadful and while you try to pull yourself out of this lifestyle, the more it seemingly takes you in, You are trying to rise –up above your threat but the more the threat rises up above you to the extent that your effort is cut off and frozen.

Sometimes you can try screaming out for help, but even the very prospect of screaming out for help is discouraged at first thought because the only help you can get out of your throat-scream won’t help your situation that much. In the face of life’s adversity every one need help but not everyone gets help. Everyone does not get help because them who would have helped simply do not know how to help you.
They do not know how to help you because the adversity that faces your life is too complex for people to understand why in the world are you that gifted of God, skilled and talented but yet still you struggle far below the people whose gifting, skill set and talent does not come into near comparison to yours.

Their contribution does not match up with your contribution in value and even in worth but yet still they keep on doing better than you are doing and then you keep on asking yourself the question. How can life be so unfair and ungrateful …you keep on wondering in utter disbelief of yourself. But soon or later you are going to be doing better than you have ever imagined, you are going to be doing better than everyone who has been jeering you when you were trying to improve your situation. 

They jeered at you because they thought your situation will never be able to change.
They jeered at you when they should have applauded you for being able to muster some little strength while even at your weakest point in life. In order to make a difference, Nobody should have blamed you for not trying to make a difference because you were so weak to even try , but even when your muscles were weak you still had enough spiritual sense to fight your situation because you understood that you are never going to die and end up in the situation that you are in right now.

 Nobody was there to rub their hands on your shoulders neither a pat on your back.. While in the middle of your most trying moment in life: but give praise to God Almighty for his word-because it was his word which stood with you and besides you while you were going through that dreadful trial.

Everybody said you never going to make it, they said no help was going to come your way because you were far cut-off. They said you were never going to survive and come out to tell the story of your salvation. They said that you had been dealt a blow by the misfortunes of this world, they said all that they said in order to break your heart and your spirit and to also cut you off from the desires of your heart and the hope you have in God. However despite all that they said, the word of God Almighty decreed otherwise-the word said you were going to win.

The word said you were going to survive in remarkably victorious, Honorable, and Gloriously way .The word said, ‘this is not the end of your story but rather the beginning of it .And your story shall not just be a common story that is read with excitement today and treated like a fickle beast tomorrow, but the story of your life which begins immediately after the good Lord your God has pulled you out of the quick-sand and after you have waited upon Him patiently shall be an epic story. 

Waiting patiently simply means to hold-up for something that you badly need and yet still manage to be free of anxiety, stress, and desperation. It’s one of the most difficult things to achieve most especially if you find out that your life is becoming worse by the passing of each day as you wait for that much needed help….. What is there to do when I have waited patiently upon the Lord’s help to pull me out of a situation that is seemingly overtaking me every day all the more, and it looks like no help is coming?.

The key to avoid panic is by holding unto the word of God because whether you see it or not, hear it or not, the word of God is in it with you. The word of God keeps you afloat until the appointed day for God to pull you out of the quicksand of your life. Believe in the word of God and you will come out of it because it’s the word that pulls you out of it. Wait and panic not because you will soon be out of the quicksand-that situation that has been sinking you in

2012: Fresh Oil, Fresh Bread, Fresh Anointing, Fresh Word


In the sacred Hebraic Cultural setting, the 12th year of a Hebrew boy is ushered, welcomed and greeted with enormously great anticipation, expectation, celebration, jubilation, and ululation by almost the entire community. This is so because now that the 12th year is in hand, the entire community’s standard of life will not be the same again. There is going to be an improvement in the quality of life, an improvement whose proportion is not of light measure but rather of great measure. All this being registered by the understanding that at the beginning of the age 12, the Hebrew boy fundamentally becomes a major contributor at the table from which the entire family and community eat her bread; this contribution is vitally important because it increases the family’s possibilities having a better way of life, thus if the family had one bread winner, in the 12th year the family’s bread winners become two as a result of the 12 year old boy who has consequently become a man. Two bread winners ultimately create a situation of variety if not the notion of selective options as well as plentiful options. The entire family and community is excited at this prospect because from the 12th year onwards, their source of survival of one direction but rather of different directions.
The entire family and community is in jubilation at a very high standard measure because from now onwards, their dependency is not from one source but rather from a variety of sources. To further solidify the essence of the celebration of the 12 year of a Hebrew boy by the entire family and community; on the very first day of his 12th birthday, the Hebrew boy turned into man goes into the ‘House of Bread and when he enters the ‘House of Bread’ he is greeted with two elements. The first element is the element of fresh aromatic bread and the second element is the intense heat of the ‘House of Bread’ which transforms the Bread from its raw nature to a level of consumption. From the ‘House of Bread’, the boy gets some bread, but not just any type of bread except the fresh one-right from the oven-and then he takes the fresh bread home. He takes it home and when he gets at home; he places the bread at the table where it’s broken, shared, and eventually eaten fresh without having to keep some for tomorrow.
 It’s eaten fresh because it’s got to taste new, special and different from what the family and the community has been used to consuming. One of the key things that a man can inherit from the Lord God is his children, whose heritage is of the Lord God. Introspectively therefore, if children are inheritance whose is the Lord they must be found rewarding like any other inheritance rewards the bearer. Hence the 12th year of the young Hebrew boy is received with singing and chanting because this is the time when the young Hebrew boy turned man begins to bear fruits that are rewarding to his family as much as his community.
The fruits that not only improve the situation of the family/ the community to a whole new dimension/ level, in the book of Saint Mark there is a man by the names of Jairus whose daughter seemingly can no longer hold unto life or rather the gift of God in her which eventually leads up to her assignment in life. Assumingly, may be because of the great and enormous opposition that has come and rose up against her very being. She wants to give-up her life/ spirit and the connection to the Gift of God by which she operates thereof. And upon taking great and detailed notes on the events that have finally put her daughter in a place of inevitable death, Jairus runs up to King Jesus for help while thinking to himself “If only Jesus can get to my daughter in time, before she gives-up on her life/her spirit as well as her gift and eventually her assignment in God, may be everything will be all right with her. At this very moment in time, I would like to talk to those of you whose past season of life has been so intense that many often times than not you have contemplated on the idea of throwing in the towel with strong regards to your assignment. Rendering the idea on how bad life is treating you. You have thought of turning away and never to return to the effort of trying to work the will, vision, dream and the purpose of God over your life because of the struggle, the misery and the frustration that keeps on building on you. You have rendered the best effort but the more frustration, brokenness, criticism, opposition, and loneliness you have attracted. However you have to get to a level of digestive comprehension that all of the aforementioned are elements by which the devil applies to stop and destruct the one whom the Lord God has favored and called to His own very purpose.
And because of these disturbing elements, you have resorted to rolling over and placating dead-Just like the Great Prophet Elijah in the cave running away from Jezebel for three good days. Running way while imploring unto God to let him die, because he does not and cannot see what his service to God is amounting to except the risking of his life to the point of death.
Consequently, Elijah lies down to sleep to the extent that any casual observer would have counted him dead. In the book of Mark when Jesus prayed for Jairus’ daughter by the word Talitha Kumi”, the spirit returned and the girl got-up.
 Watch this…..the spirit which returned was a spirit of power …..It was a fresh spirit, one which had never been in natural operation for it was new, special, and unique far from the old spirit that was without the ability to withstand disappointment, opposition, and frustration. This fresh spirit was of such power that if one put his effort in the purpose of God over his life, a god report of encouragement and a good cheer plus that of good fortune shall spring forth. Hence as a result of this fresh spirit, one goes on and on in the purpose of God over their lives without contemplating to even stop or do something else because finally serving God shall evidently become worthwhile. Since the bread that is consumed in the 12th year of the young Hebrew man by the family and the community at large is of such freshness even in regards to the ingredients which embody it. Fresh oil makes fresh bread whilst fresh anointing equates to fresh Rhema-word of God with immediate effect/power.
Quintessentially, the word of God that will come out of your life will be a fresh word whose facilitation is the fresh oil of God whose freshness is special in that it has never been used and set in motion before, whether it be in time, history and eternity. In other wards God is beginning to do something with your life in the 12th year but what He is getting ready to manifest, eyes have never seen neither ears heard before. It’s something of the next level, something divine that has never been at work before on the very face of the earthly..Its mind boggling and at the same time mind blowing because of the power that is embedded right within it, the sort of power when once it comes on you, defeat will come off you because now you are enshrouded in the victory, Gory, and Honor of the Almighty God. This power is further more of such  impact that it even turns up the volume of in the sound of your voice from a low frequency to a high frequency so that it can reach an audience and a dimension in God which is big and larger than usual.
The penetration of the power, authority and dominion of God Almighty over your life is through your sound of your voice, which means  that every where the sound of your voice shall be heard, then there shall also be a subduing of principalities and power just on your behalf, and consequently a taking over of territories. People shall be submissive to the sound in your voice because of its uncanny ability to outflow with power, authority and the dominion of God the Head:  And not just because of the power, authority and dominion of God but more so because of His fresh oil and fresh word of God-that shall flow out from your life within the after the 12th year.
If you have been able to hold onto the gift of God this long without letting up and letting go then be prepared to be rewarded  of and by the same Gift of God operating and effectively working in your life. A rewarding that shall lead you and take you I the presence of greatness, and in specific terms this means that your Gift will cause you to do well and not just well but above the normal known standards of success-meaning that you are going to be unusually successful-of course in my sanctified imaginative diatribe as the Effectos-Supernatural Success
