But I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more. Psalm 71.14

Those who give up walking by faith or get tired of waiting in the Lord are disconnected and receive nothing from Him. In order to be victorious in life, it is necessary to have perseverance. We are dealing with the Creator and Sustainer of all things. If He is not answering, there is certainly a breach that we need to cover. After all, we will conclude that He is good and powerful to give us victory (Ep 3.20).

Noah was a preacher of righteousness. He spent 120 years announcing the message, yet no one was saved. However, his family was saved from the destruction (2 Pe 2.5). In case he had given up to do God’s will, he certainly would not have been saved. The Scriptures declare that the soul of the Lord has no pleasure in him who retreats. However, we are not like those who retreat to perdition; we walk towards the conservation of our souls, since we love Jesus.

David said that since he waited patiently on the Almighty, he achieved victory after victory, in a way that no other king had. The life of Jesse’s son should be an example to us, for this is how God wants to see us. Therefore, though everything might indicate that your time has passed, do not believe in it. The enemy will do all he can to drive you away from the Lord’s presence, but you should not hear him.

Those who do not have patience to wait for the accomplishment of the promises will not praise the Most High in a true way. What is the use of being in church, listening about people who managed to be successful, if you are walking backwards your entire life? Certainly, the Almighty is not to be blamed, for He answers us all in an equal manner. God made us to walk with Him, and He promised to go ahead of us to open our way (Is 45.2).

At every victory, the king of Israel opened his mouth to praise the Most High. Do the same, even if they may be small things, for when you praise God, you will see that more doors will be opened to you. Even if you are small, do not think that you are insignificant in the eyes of the Creator, for He has always honored those who honor Him. Thus, in order to be very successful, fulfill the Word’s commandments.

Whoever desires to be victorious must use this formula. It is of no use to spend your whole life following precepts of any religion. On the contrary, it is productive only to do what God has revealed you. Believers in Jesus will never be disappointed if they walk by faith. Time may pass, but those who do the Lord’s will remain forever (Ps 125.1). Therefore, follow the divine orientation and be completely fulfilled.

If you give up seeking God, waiting in Him, or fighting to see the circumstances change, you will be signing the receipt of your defeat. Only sign your order of faith, because it will never be dishonored. It is a mistake to believe that the Father is not listening to your prayer. Therefore, remain watchful, for He will tell you what you need to do for Him to answer. Go until the end, for the Lord, in Himself, has no problems at all to operate and to concede you victory.

In Christ, with love,
