Rom 4:20-21 "He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform."


There are factors that can help us to be patient while waiting for the promises of God. The meaning is, these factors help us to put up a right attitude while waiting for the release of that answer from God.

First and foremost, let me define attitude. Attitude means "A predisposition or a tendency to respond positively or negatively towards a certain idea, object or situation." This means that attitude could either be positive or negative at every situation. What are the factors that can help to be positive always in every situation we find ourselves?

These factors are:

1: HOPE: Always hope in God in every circumstance. Don't allow the devil to steal your hope. Faith is one of the virtues that command the attention of God and to have all needs met, but faith is impotent without hope. This is because faith is the substance of things hoped for... (Heb 11:1). Hope as the expectation of something desired. If your expectation is strong, it helps you to be positive all the time.

2: DON'T TRADE BLAME: Bible says "Be patient, stablish your heart...grudge not one against another lest ye be condemned..." (Jam 5:8-9). You need to accept responsibility of your present situation and not blame it on anyone or anything. Believe that God wants to use every unpleasant situation as a means to launch you to a higher ground. Believe that God is working things out for your good even if you're unfairly treated or persecuted (Rom 8:28). Don't trade blame.

PRAYER: Your long awaited desire will manifest today, in Jesus name.
