ADD PATIENCE – David Okoye

“That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises”. Hebrews 6:12

The scripture above shows two criteria of obtaining the promises
of God: it says through faith and patience.

Many have come to the
understanding that their Christian walk is nothing without faith
(knowing it’s a necessary key to
pleasing the father); but very few have developed patience in
themselves. So despite the fact that they have faith; they miss out on
God’s promises, because they lack patience.

Faith and patience
are like two sides to a coin. If you claim to have a strong faith that
God’s promises are bound to come to pass; then you must be ready to
forbear no matter the circumstance. 

Heb 6:15 tells us that Abraham (the
father of faith) did not obtain the promises until after he had
patiently endured. Being patient is the proof of your faith in God: your
patience forces your faith life into the open and shows its true state.

Never try to get out of anything prematurely; rather choose to
let patience do a thorough word of fully developing you, without
defects. Patience is of absolute necessity to a God-child. You must
learn to see it as a need (Heb 10:36). Refuse to hinder the
manifestation of God’s word in your life.

Activate your faith and add to
it patience, that you might lack nothing.

DECLARATION:
I
prove my faith at all times. God’s word is made manifest in my life as I
remain steadfast to see it produce tremendous results.
