How to Wait on God

Waiting on God is one of the most challenging yet rewarding aspects of our faith journey. It is in the waiting that our trust in Him is refined, our character is developed, and our faith is strengthened. However, waiting does not mean being idle; it is an active process of seeking, trusting, and preparing for what God has in store.


To truly wait on God, we must first trust in His perfect timing. Often, we want things to happen according to our schedule, but God, in His infinite wisdom, sees the bigger picture. Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us that His ways and thoughts are higher than ours. When we rest in the assurance that He knows what is best, we can wait with peace instead of anxiety.


While waiting, we must remain steadfast in prayer. Waiting time should be praying time. Rather than complaining or becoming discouraged, we should bring our desires, fears, and hopes before God, trusting that He hears us. Hannah, in her season of waiting for a child, poured out her soul to God, and in due time, He answered her (1 Samuel 1:10-20).


Faithful waiting also involves immersing ourselves in God’s Word. Scripture provides encouragement, direction, and reassurance that God is working behind the scenes. As we meditate on His promises, we align our hearts with His will and strengthen our faith in His faithfulness.

Another key aspect of waiting is obedience.


Sometimes, God calls us to act in faith while we wait for His promises to manifest. Noah built the ark before the rain came; Abraham journeyed toward a land he had never seen. While waiting, we must remain faithful in the little things, serving diligently and walking in obedience to God’s instructions.


Waiting on God is not passive—it is an invitation to grow deeper in our relationship with Him. It is in the waiting that He prepares us for what He has prepared for us. If you find yourself in a season of waiting, hold on.


Trust His timing, remain in prayer, immerse yourself in His Word, and keep walking in obedience. In due season, you will see the manifestation of His promises.


I believe in you!

Your Breakthrough Is Worth The Wait

Are you an eagle in a cage?

September 8, 2025
Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
