Process is needed to birth your Promise. God’s PROMISE far outweighs and exceeds the pain, the push, the rejection, the losses, and the loneliness you experience during the process! Stay Focused, especially during this season in your life. Be still and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10 NIV).
God always multiplies your seeds sown in obedience, time, words, deeds and seeds sown monetarily or materially. Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he receive (Galatians 6:7 NKJV).
Jesus went through the process of coming to earth as a mere man and dying on the cross for you and me, seed sown towards His purpose. He was beaten beyond recognition, suffered all types of persecution and rejection and went to hell on our behalf. WHY? So, we would be delivered, redeemed, set free, transformed, and made totally whole and have life in Abundance! He stayed focused to fulfill His purpose and denied Himself to fully obey the Father, so must you and I.
It was worth it all to Him and the Father because of their love for us. John 3:16 tells us, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (in abundance). If Jesus had not come and obeyed the Father, we would be without hope and without God in the world (Ephesians 2:12 NIV).
We should also obey the Father. The hardships we are going through or been through in the process isn’t even about you or me, but the lives of many others who God has called us to for they are watching and waiting for us as we rise up in obedience with praise and thanksgivings instead of saying ‘woe is me’.
The process isn’t comfortable or convenient at times. It was definitely not comfortable at all for Jesus. But…. oh the joy that came when He rose from the grave, with ALL POWER & DOMINION! I am so grateful to Jesus that His love for the Father kept Him pressing forward to His promise and purpose. If not, where would we be????! You and I must press forward during our process and we decide to stop, we have just aborted souls that could have known God the Father! So understand the importance of persevering during the process in order for the promise to be fulfilled.
The Process equips, refines, purges, strengthens, sharpens and prepares us to have the character, wisdom, and integrity to handle the more weighted Glory of God for our next assignment. It’s also for an example and testimony to those whom we have been called. They are watching to see how we respond just like the Pharisees and others did. We either trust God or not!
As a pregnant woman, from conception to the end of the 9 months, goes through such discomfort, stretching, agony and pain to bring forth the life in her womb, so is the process for us to bring forth eternal life to the masses! Let’s continue to persevere so that when we have done the will of God, we will receive what He has promised! Hebrews 10:36
