    10 2 2019 Patiently Waiting
    Praise the Lord Believers in the Christian faith.

    Jesus promised the disciples that they would be given the gift of being “baptized with the Holy Spirit.” But He didn’t clarify what that meant, what the influence would be, or how they should understand this gift. He merely told them to wait. I’m sure they had questions, but they were left to think about it and wait.

    When the Day of Pentecost came, “And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability” (Acts 2:4 NLT). As they waited, they received the gift Jesus promised them. Now, as you look at the verse closely, you’ll see that the Holy Spirit was given in God’s way and in His time.

    Beloved, it’s essential for us to wait for God’s promises that will fulfill us with the help we need, or for answers. Now, I’ll be the first to tell you, at times waiting is difficult. 😀 Even being faithful Believers, we easily can become discouraged and feel impatient. In spite of our prayers and the promises in the Bible, the answers at times don’t seem to come soon enough.

    We need to remember that waiting doesn’t mean that God is unhappy with us or that His promises aren’t true. It simply means that the time isn’t right, and we must wait for God’s time.

    Beloved don’t be impatient or lose your trust in God when you’re patiently waiting on His promised delivery. Keep praying and believing that He’ll answer your prayers. As you wait, prepare your heart and mind and be faithful to His Word and His direction for your life. Amen? Aaamen. 😀

    CHOF Ministry’s Mid-Week Prayer:
    Dear Heavenly Father, I commit all of CHOF Ministry followers and readers to You. I know that You’ve answered my prayers and I have faith that You’ll answer theirs also. In Jesus’ name, I pray,
    Amen and Aaamen.

    Beloved, life is very short. It comes and goes like an unannounced gust of wind. None of us know the hour or day when that gust of wind will be permitted to enter our room and blow out our earthly light. So today, reach out and touch someone and tell them you love them, BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE TOO LATE.

    I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Have a “Blessed” Wednesday. 😀

  • “Wait”

    Wait
    Happy Friday Everyone!!! Once again, we have been blessed to stand at the entrance of another weekend.

    Hey? Have you noticed most of our time is spent in waiting? Like when standing in line or while waiting on hold on the phone, meanwhile time passes slowly by. I don’t know how many of you have given this a thought, but waiting is a big part of life. And you know, it becomes overwhelming when we’re in distress. I still remember vividly the anticipation I felt when we were waiting to see if we were going to be approved to get our home. After experiencing a torrential down pour of emotions and thoughts overlapping each other with anxiety, excitement and joy. Unashamedly, I admit, I was more restless than my wife. But God just consistently crushed my doubts over and over again. Proving His timing, plans and ways are the best.

    Beloved, He really is with us throughout all our ordeals. Be it guiding the hands of the physician or the pilot of a plane we board. It’s common for us to hear “peace be with you”, but don’t you think it’s time to practice “wait in peace and have patience”? God knows our every thought and need. We don’t need to ask Him more than once or shout for Him to hear us.

    So, as we enter this weekend instead of being impatient or taking short cuts, wait peacefully grounded in faith for your prayers to be answered.

    Have a blessed Weekend Everyone.
