WHAT DID GOD SAY?

Habakkuk 2:1 “I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved”.

To live and survive on this earth, you need more than food. Jesus said in Matthew 4:4 that you need every single word that proceeds out of God’s mouth. This implies that you must be very particular about hearing from God regularly. Many people think that prayer is a one-way traffic, that is, they go to God, tell Him all their problems, and that is all. No! The most important part of prayer is hearing what God has to say concerning situations. It is the entrance of His word that brings light (Psalm 119:130). Whenever you cry out to God, make room to hear Him speak back to you. Do not quit crying out to Him over the situation until you hear Him speak. Even if what you hear is a rebuke, the fact that He is answering at all shows that He has heard you and that something is going to happen. The Bible records in 1 Samuel 30:1-18 how David and his men lost their family members and possessions to the Amalekites and how they recovered all after seeking guidance from God. It was a very dark moment for them before God spoke to them. The men had cried themselves sore and were so dejected that they began to contemplate killing David. Thankfully, David acted wisely and sought the face of God on what to do, and when they acted on God’s counsel, they recovered all. In the scripture for today, Habakkuk said that he will stand upon his watch to see what God’s response to him will be. Beloved, what is God saying about the prayer requests you have put before Him? What is God saying about your family, your future, and your career? If you are a child of God, you should note that God also wants to speak to you concerning your situation. Unfortunately, many believers fail to wait on Him to hear what He has to say to them. In Jeremiah 33:3, God said, “Call on me and I will answer”. He did not say, “I may answer” or “I will consider answering”. He said, “I WILL answer”. So, when you go to Him in prayers, tell Him, “Lord, I will not rest until you have answered me.”
