Get Ready 

1Kgs.18.41 - Then Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain."

The waiting room is a place of faith, preparation and expectations. A place where you call things that are not as though they were- Rom. 4:17. It's the place of hope and faith. When we find ourselves in the waiting room, God expects us to believe in nothing else but possibilities. It's not the time to complain and doubt. Many stay longer than necessary in the waiting room because they fail to believe, stay positive and get ready for answers. 

Waiting upon God requires that you trust Him completely that He is able to do exceedingly above all that you could ever ask or think. He has everything you need in His custody. And when He promises, just prepare to celebrate. He is ‘Professor Talk and Do’. In 1 kgs 18. Elijah told kind Ahab to celebrate, eat, drink and relax cause he already heard the sound of abundance of rain. Ahab, despite being an unbelieving king, believed the Prophet of God. He went ahead to eat and drink while Elijah went to pray. The scripture says, 

“…Believe the Lord your God and you shall be established, believe His prophet and you shall prosper” 2Chr.20.20.

So many of us have received clear revelations of what God is about to do in our lives but instead of believing and getting prepared for answers some still entertain the lies and deceptions of Satan. Bringing doubts and prolonging your wilderness experience. The waiting room is a place for you to prepare your heart for the abundance of rain. Do not worry any longer, rather praise God and celebrate your miracles ahead. For surely there is the sound of abundance of blessings. Get Ready!

Prayers:

Lord, help me to prepare myself for what You are about to do in my life. I cast all my cares upon You my Lord. Dissolve all my doubts and fears. Help me to stop worrying but to trust and praise you instead, I pray in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen
