Apostle Joshua Selman, the founder of Eternity Network International spoke to his members about why they need to be patient because God is going to do something good in their lives.
According to him, don’t corrupt the power of the testimony that is waiting for you through impatience. Behind every story, there is a glory, the story is what makes the glory desirable. When people hear the kind of story you have, they will value you because they heard what you went through to be a great prophet, to be a kingdom billionaire and they will not just clap for you because you are a billionaire; but they will clap for you because you are a testament of endurance and you went through those things so that nations will be built.
He said that he once prayed for a politician who was so frustrated, so he said to him, ” Apostle, I have spent money, I have done my best but things don’t seem to work out, even when I know that everything turns in my favour, am tired of all this but I have made up my mind to stand for Christ.” The cleric then asked him “do you think that God is wasting your time. God is never a waster of time, rather he makes use of those times that seems to be a waste to make you a better person.”
According to him, what could have been the story of Joseph if he was in the prison. Most times, God allows us to pass through some negative situations to have a good story that will fit into your glory, so you need to be patient and always bear in mind that God is not wasting your time. Complaining is doubt on God’s integrity. He said that the making of a witness is not on the dining table with tea and bread but on the table of the furnace of affliction is where witnesses are made. There are situations you don’t pray away but you pray to pass through it.
Speaking to the pastors, he said, “Men of God, stop carrying the complementary card around, asking people to invite you because the fact that you have to beg people to believe and invite you is a sign that your evidence is little. So the key to publicizing yourself is in the secret place and the day they will give you chance to preach in a conference, you will represent the purposes of God in a way you will not go back and you never imagined.”
Finally, he said that when your season of appearance comes, it will not look like it because it will come in a way you never imagined or expect. God is a master of using situations to push you to prophecies. “I see God raising great men, I see him raising men of power. You are rising from that ugly situation, and may God grant you the grace to be patient,” he said.
