Waiting on God: What to Do When You Can’t See Anything Happening

Waiting on God: What to Do When You Can’t See Anything Happening

There are seasons in life when we wait on God, hoping and wondering when something will finally happen. We keep waiting, but sometimes we can begin to feel stuck because we don’t see anything changing.

But waiting on God is not about how long you wait; it’s about how you wait.

Waiting Doesn’t Mean You’re Stuck

Waiting on God doesn’t mean you need to freeze your life until a miracle or change happens. It means continuing to move forward while trusting Him with what you cannot yet see.

Use this season to prepare for what is coming. Work on your character. Learn how to handle the things you may have struggled with before. Be faithful with the small things.

For example, if you are waiting on God for a job, use this time to work on yourself. Maybe your previous job left you stressed and overwhelmed. Learn how to handle stress better and tackle that weakness now.

If you are waiting on God for a life partner, don’t only ask God for the right person. Ask Him how you can become the right person for them. Discover God’s calling for your life and walk in it. Work through weaknesses such as anger, trust issues, or emotional instability. Learn to find your joy in the Lord and become dependent on Him.

Your waiting season can become your preparation season.

Don’t Let What You See Make You Waver

One of the best examples of this is Abraham.

Abraham walked with God and had a relationship with Him. His knowledge of God grew as he heard Him, and so did his faith grow.

God promised Abraham that he would have a son and become the father of many nations. Yet the circumstances around him seemed to say otherwise.

Romans 4:17–22 tells us that Abraham “did not weaken in faith” when he considered his own body or Sarah’s barrenness. He did not allow what he saw, the facts, or his feelings to make him waver in God’s promise.

Instead, he grew strong in faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what He had promised.

That is what waiting on God can look like.

You may not see anything happening yet. You may not understand how God will bring His promise to pass. But you can choose not to let your current situation determine what you believe about God.

Let your story be like Abraham’s.

Become a friend of God. Use your waiting season to grow, prepare, and become stronger in Him. Give Him glory even when you cannot see the answer yet.

And like Abraham, be fully convinced that God is able to do what He has promised.

This Is Why You Are Feeling Condemned..

This Is Why You Are Feeling Condemned..

Do you ever feel condemned, especially when a Word of correction comes to you?

If yes, know that when the Word of God comes to you, it is for you to grow, make corrections, and keep growing. It is not for you to hear the Word, look at your life, and say, “Oh, I’m not doing this,” and then sit under condemnation.

That is not God’s way of functioning. The Word of God will never bring condemnation. So if you are feeling condemned, it is because you have bought the lies of the enemy.

condemn

Many times you may get thoughts and you think those are your thoughts. But those thoughts may not be your thoughts. You may hear things like, “I cannot do much in life,” “Nobody loves me,” “My friends don’t care for me,” “They have isolated me,” or “Nobody even thinks about me.”

When such thoughts come, you need to stop them immediately because those are not your thoughts. That is the enemy speaking lies in your head.

When those thoughts come, you need to identify them. Don’t buy them or make them your thoughts.

You know you have bought them when you believe them long enough that you start speaking those lies. You call a friend and say, “Nobody cares for me.” Now the devil has made a sale. You bought his thoughts!

But when you hear thoughts that are not in alignment with the Word of God, thoughts of depression, anxiety, fear, or condemnation, open your mouth and say, “Enemy, I caught you. This is not my thought. I’m not buying your thoughts. Go find another customer.”

Don’t personalize those lies in your mind. The enemy attacks the mind. He throws thoughts that pull you down and make you feel like you are failing.

But God’s thoughts say, even if you fall seven times, rise again (Proverbs 24:16). God’s thought says, “You can do it. My mercy is new over you. Come on, build this good habit and keep spending time with Me.”

So stop buying the thoughts of the enemy and start thinking, speaking and building your life on the thoughts of God.

Why Do Bad Things Happen To Me?

Why Do Bad Things Happen To Me?

Why do bad things happen to me? It’s a question I’ve asked God more than once. Maybe you’ve asked it too: “Why me, God? Why does it feel like I’m always the one going through this?”

You try to live right. You help others, sacrifice your time, serve God faithfully, and genuinely want to honor Him. Yet life still brings heartbreak, disappointment, and pain. In moments like these, it’s easy to wonder whether God allowed it or even caused it.

Here are two truths that changed everything for me#

Trash

Truth #1: God is not the author of the evil you’re facing.

One of the biggest questions we ask during painful seasons is, “Did God do this to me?” I wrestled with that question too.

But when I looked at what Jesus said, my perspective began to change. In John 10:10, Jesus says, “The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” Jesus makes a clear distinction. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came to bring life, and life in abundance.

God is not looking for ways to hurt His children. Even when the enemy brings pain, Romans 8:28 reminds us that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Notice what the verse says: God works in every situation to bring about good. What the enemy intends for harm, God is able to redeem for His glory and our good just as He did in Joseph’s life.

Truth #2: Your holiness or goodness cannot stop the devil from attacking you.

Maybe you’ve prayed something like this:

“God, I’ve been serving You. I give to ministries, help people, try my best to live a holy life and stay away from sin. So why do bad things keep happening to me?”

Then you look around and it seems like people who don’t even care about God are enjoying life.

They go partying, live however they want, and everything appears to be going well for them, while you’re the one struggling.

It can feel confusing and unfair.

But remember Jesus.

When Jesus was born, He was only a baby. He didn’t sin, hurt anyone, or even speak a word. Yet King Herod wanted Him dead and ordered the killing of baby boys in an attempt to destroy Him.

What had baby Jesus done to deserve that?

Nothing.

The attack wasn’t because of what Jesus had done. It was because the enemy wanted to stop God’s purpose.

In the same way, not every difficult season is the result of something you’ve done wrong. Sometimes the enemy attacks because you belong to God and because he knows God has a purpose for your life.

The good news is that the enemy doesn’t have the final say. Jesus has given us authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). We don’t have to live in fear, we can stand firm in Christ, knowing that God is with us.

If you’ve been through painful seasons and wondered, “Why did God let this happen?” I pray this brings you peace. God did not orchestrate the bad that happened to you. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the powers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). As Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Knowing God’s true heart changes everything.

Need prayer or want to share what’s on your heart? Write to us, we’d love to pray for you, believe God with you, and stand with you in faith.

XOXO,

Don’t Carry Someone Else’s Trash

Don’t Carry Someone Else’s Trash

Today, something unusual happened.

I had just returned home and was unlocking the door when I noticed a small sealed packet neatly placed outside.  Since we had not been there the previous day, I assumed it was a delivery that had arrived in our absence.

Without thinking much about it, I picked it up and carried it inside.

When I opened the packet, I was shocked.

Trash

It was filled with trash.

For a moment, I just stood there wondering what had happened. Then it dawned on me -it wasn’t a parcel for me at all. It was my neighbour’s garbage, neatly packed and left outside for the trash collector.

I immediately threw it away and washed my hands. Yet even after that, I felt unsettled. Later, as I spent time praying, I brought before the Lord an issue I had been wrestling with for some time- a certain irritation that kept surfacing in my life. I had been asking Him, “Lord, where is this coming from? Why do I keep struggling with this?”

I sensed the Lord speaking to my heart: “That irritation is not yours. It is something you picked up along the way.”

The connection was immediate.

Just as I had unknowingly picked up someone else’s trash and carried it into my room, I had been unknowingly carrying patterns, attitudes, and reactions from my bloodline that were never meant to be part of my life.

As I continued praying, I felt the Lord show me that some of these patterns had travelled through generations. They had become so familiar that I assumed they were simply part of who I was. 

Not everything that runs in your bloodline has permission to define your life. Some of the thoughts that you are battling, they don’t even belong to you.

The Bible says: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2)

As I prayed, I repented for agreeing with things that were never God’s design for me. I chose to let go of what I had been carrying.

Then I began declaring a greater truth:

I belong to my Heavenly Father.

His nature is my inheritance.

You were created to reflect your Heavenly Father

Maybe there are habits, thought patterns, reactions, fears, or limitations in your life that you’ve carried for so long that they feel normal. Maybe they came through family history, life experiences, or things you picked up from those around you.

Take a moment and ask the Lord to reveal their source. If He shows you something that doesn’t belong, don’t keep carrying it.

Lay it down.

Invite Him to renew your mind, heal your heart, and reshape your identity according to His truth.

You were created to reflect your Heavenly Father, and not the broken patterns of the past.

XOXO

One moment of favour can save you 20 years of labour!

One moment of favour can save you 20 years of labour!

Favour is God’s system designed to raise His children. When God wants to raise you, He uses favour.

Think about someone trying to buy a house. They calculate how much they need for the initial payment, work overtime for a year to save it, take a loan for the rest, and then spend another 20 years repaying it.

But favour is somebody coming to you and saying, “Take the key. The house is yours.”

Favour

In one moment, favour can save you years of waiting and labour. Favour saves time. Favour pushes you ahead. This is why the Bible says that favour is to be chosen over silver and gold (Proverbs 22:1). If you enter a room and see a heap of gold, a heap of silver, and one moment of favour with the king, choose favour.

In this powerful message, Pastor Kim declares seven statements of favour that will transform your life. Each of these declarations are grounded in Scripture. Watch the full video and receive the 7 declarations of favour for your life.

We have also created a set of bookmarks featuring all 7 declarations so you can keep them close, pray over them, and speak them regularly.
