Season of waiting.

Let me start like this this great morning, I know you are already patient enough to wait for that day your time of blessing and season of uncommon blessings shall find you. But I would like to ask you this important question about this word called "waiting".

how do you perceive this word "waiting" in your life?

There are different seasons in life as it is in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. There is season to be born and a season to die: A time to plant and a time to harvest and so on. My dear friend, in life there is important season that many have not looked into as it can make us or break us. This season is what I call WAITING.  There is always a waiting period in everyone's life. it could be in every stages of your life, it could also be before a major turning point in your life but the questions I want to ask are as follows;

1) What is waiting season?
2) How do you see and perceive waiting season?
2) What do you do at that time?
4) Do you maximize that season to your own benefit?

According to online Oxford languages meaning of waiting; is the ACTION of STAYING where one is or DELAYING action until a PARTICULAR TIME or event. In otherwords, Waiting simply means giving that expectation and situation "time" to manifest or be actualized, but there has to be action in this season for a major turning point. Note that the definition above clearly states that it's the "action" of staying for something or for another season. It didn't say it's an "inaction" of staying. It is not an easy season but this could give you a major turning point to behold at the end of the period you are waiting.

Going further with the bible explanation about waiting, Romans 8:18- 25 explained it in a way we could understand it more and the result of waiting;

*Waiting entails anticipation.
*Waiting involves awaiting for a result.
*Waiting explains abiding.
*Waiting means expectation.
*Waiting ignites hope.

But while waiting for that moment to manifest, one could fall off from that path that he or she has waited for a very long period of time all because of some situations that can not be controlled and Unfortunately those situations can make;

*One give up while waiting
*One die more than once while waiting
*One give up on his life while waiting, not knowing it is just a season.

Even one's hope could die off while waiting, Joy and happiness been taken away from one's heart for waiting for so long, impatience may set in, etc. All of these negative effects may come into your heart as a result of how you perceive your waiting moment.

What is your perception in waiting season?

Some see waiting period as delay period, few persons see it as regression, while many see it as shut doors, etc but in all of these situations and moments of waiting, I see it in another form. I see it as an opportunity to take action for my desired expectations and change to positive situation, an opportunity to build, to add more value, as an opportunity for critical reasoning, I see it as an opportunity to gather, multiple, mould, rectify and also prepare for the days ahead.

In your waiting period, whether you want to accept the result at the end of the day or not, the most important key points you need to take home with you are as follows;

IMPORTANT KEY POINT

1) Your perception in waiting season matters a lot as our lives are directly or indirectly revolve around it ( Romans 8:19).

2)You wait in a particular stage of life to transcend to another stage of life. For instance, a baby sits while waiting to stand, stands while waiting to walk, walks while waiting to run. If the baby does not take action by practicing little by little the steps to take in order to stand at the stage of sitting, the baby wouldn't transcend fully and properly into the other stages. Life is indeed a process.

3) If waited, it resulted to destruction, know that you have not built enough to strike. Go back, build more, learn your lessons, don't give up then strike again, expect again, try again.

4)Folks! perceive waiting as gateway to restoration, reconnection, resolution and manifestation.

5)If you aren't growing or learning or building in your waiting season, know that you are going the wrong direction of waiting for something, because you will get nothing but more depression and negative results.

6) Keeping hope alive in waiting season is very important because if you allow it to die, you have killed the glory in it.

7) In your waiting season, don't just wait for something to happen rather, act for something to happen.

8) No cross; no crown ( phillipians 2:5-11)

There is glorious future in right waiting. Don't be a victim in this season. It is an important season to address lots of things.

I hope you have taken one or two important words that will reshape your life and your understanding about life and what comes with life.
