When You are Waiting for Your Breakthrough

One of life’s lessons I have learn so far is to wait on God when you need a breakthrough! However, when we are not patient or frustrated and worried, it is because we are trying to make something happen that only God himself can make happen. Pastors call this, “human energy attempting to do God’s job.”
How many times have you prayed and believe in the word of God for a breakthrough in your life to not see anything happen? We have many times.
So what are we to do? How are we to act during this time of waiting?
In the book of Mark 4: 26-28 tells the story of the patient farmer.
How do we know he is patient? Very easy! let me explain it to you.
Because the Word tells us he sowed his seed, then went away sleeping and rising! This does not sound like worrying and be afraid to me. Then at the proper time the ground brings forth the promise of the seed, this is the harvest or the breakthrough! The Farmers job was to do what he knew to do: plant, sleep, rise and do his daily work, then allow the Lord of the Harvest to bring forth the promise.

Jesus was showing us how often we become impatient and try and get ahead of God. When God has given us a promise to stand on we want to know as my pastor always tells us people will doubt by asking questions like “God how are you going to do that? Or When are you going to bring it to pass?
In verse 27 says “and then continues sleeping and rising night and day while the seed sprouts and grows and increases, he himself does not know how. A farmer never knows exactly when his crop will come in, but he knows that it will. He does what he can and allows God to do the rest. We need to do the same thing. We are to believe we have a breakthrough coming, we sleep and rise and allow God to bring it about in due season. The farmer planted the seed believing for his return, his promise, his breakthrough and we are to do the same!

Remain blessed.
