When dealing with God, you cannot but learn to be patient.

Many have lost their miracles because they could not endure for an additional minute, day, hour, month or year. If you have expectations particularly great expectations, you will have no choice but to wait as long as required.

Patience is part of the price you pay in receiving from God. Patience is part of a good virtue fr any one who wants to receive His blessings.

During the period of waiting, God will check out certain things in our lives and help us learn and add what we lack, make you better prepared and cause us to understand Him some more, so that when He releases the blessings it will endure.

If we are to check from the beginning, we will see men having to wait on God to get their desires. If the issue is of paramount importance, they may be required to wait longer.

Adam had to wait on God before he received Eve.

GENESIS 2:21-25

So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[a] and then closed up the place with flesh. Vs. 21
Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[b] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. Vs. 22
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’for she was taken out of man.” Vs. 23
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Vs. 24
Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame. Vs. 25

It says God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam. All the while God prepared Eve for Adam; the latter was asleep, resting in God's presence. He was in a state where he was not doing anything by his strength but wholly leaned on God's power, wisdom, ability and timing. He waited until Eve came.

Unfortunately, many singles today are too much in a hurry. They want God to give them a spouse yet, they pray for five minutes and in the sixth minutes, they expect their life partner to surface.

To hasten the preparations of answers to your prayer, pray, wait on the Lord and study His word. Obey God in every area and make Him happy with you.

The extent to which you are ready to wait will determine the size of the blessing God will be prepared to release you.

So true with many aspects of our life. We actually rob ourselves and our Heavenly Daddy from the blessing of giving and receiving. We ask God for a car and the go buy one on time. Then we are saddled with a payment and we don’t have the testimony of God’s provision. Blessings
