HOW TO EXIT TRYING TIME IV
WHAT TO DO WHILE WAITING
1. DO NOT ACCEPT FATE
Luke 1:18
“And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.”Don’t be like Zacharia. He accepted the status quo and didn’t believe the angel when he told him the promise. You will do yourself more harm when you accept the situation as a fate while waiting. Similarly, Sarah did the same thing, but mercy spoke for them(Zechariah and Sarah respectively). Mercy will speak for you as well in Jesus name.
2. Use CDA+
Mark 11:24
“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”CDA+ is a household name for the Sons And Daughters Of Zion[SADOZ] which means Confess, Declare, Announce and + stands for imagine.
CDA is speaking positively in spite of all all you’re passing through. And beyond speaking, start imagining it as well. Don’t just say it within, speak it out loud so that the world hear it. So, don’t feel pity about it and keep declaring your new status..
3. Use your rod
Exodus 14:14-16
“The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.”This is your part to play,you’re to take steps of faith.
You are making wedding plans and there’s no money in your account, God told you it’s time? Then take the step of faith.
You’re waiting on God for your admission? Go and take the next form and write your exam, your rod as a student is to read for your exam. Your rod is peculiar to your situation. Yours is to go and study books, apply for courses and make researches..I pray for you that your time has come. The Lord open your eyes to see the steps to take and the rod to take in Jesus name.
4. Be Praiseful
Psalms 100:4
“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
It’s when you’re prideful that you have access to God and God will the step into your case.”
5. Be Joyful
Isaiah 12:3
“Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
Joy is a drawer, it’s the tools needed to draw your redemption rights and without it you will just end up in frustration.”
6. Listen to your prophet
Isaiah 44:26
“That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:”2 Chronicles 20:20
” And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.”Your prophet have the mandate to speak over your life to end all your trying times under God. When you listen to them, you gain directions.
7. Obey prophetic instructions
John 2:5
” His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.”Whatever your Prophet tells you to do, do it!!!
It is in that instruction that your deliverance lies. The instruction I’m giving here is to be patient and go over this again and examine your life where you’re missing it.Have you realized where you are getting it wrong? Can you just tell it to God to forgive you and receive the grace to do the needful. It’s well with you in Jesus name.

HOW TO EXIT TRYING TIMES II
1 Corinthians 10:13
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”The less informed you are, about trying times, the more you have chances of loosing what God has in stock for you. And for you to exit trying times, you have to know the following:
1. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO MAN
1 Corinthians 10:13
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is COMMON TO MAN: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”You must firstly have the understanding that trial is common to every man be it believer or unbeliever, anointed or unanointed alike.
You’re not the only one passing through that particular trial. There is a Yoruba adages which says: ‘ saying this situation has never occurred in life is just a means of scaring the victim’.
So, this is to justify the fact that, what you’re passing through is not a new trial. There are 10001 people that have passed through this same trial you’re passing through, and they all fall into 2 categories; some failed while some succeeded. Those who failed, didn’t do anything about it, while those who succeeded, are those who did something about it. They never quitted!!!
You are the determinant of the success of your trial. The truth is that, it had happened to some people and they testified afterwards.
Hebrews 6:12
“That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”
2. IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE BEYOND YOU
1 Corinthians 10:13
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted ABOVE THAT YE ARE ABLE; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”The trial you’re passing through, is not meant to be beyond you. The moment it is beyond you and you don’t know what to do again, it’s a signal that something is wrong. When an individual is involved in an accident, and the concerned part of the body is being stitched by the doctor, it’s expected that when the operation is going on, it shouldn’t be painful, and once it gets painful, it means something is wrong. That moment when the trial is overwhelming you, is a pointer to the fact that you’re not doing what you are supposed to do. And that is what we shall be dealing with in this series.
3. IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE FOREVER
1 Corinthians 10:13
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a WAY OF ESCAPE, that ye may be able to bear it..”The trial you are passing through, is not meant to be forever, so don’t lose hope. It will be wrong to accept it as a fate either. Don’t see the devil in it even if it is the devil that brought you into it. Start seeing God who will bring you out of it. And also, if it’s as a result of your past sin, lean on the cleaning power of the blood of Jesus. Do not allow the devil to pin you down with guilt.
God is ready to bring you out of that trial, Yes! He has provided a way of escape for you if you would be ready to accept Him into your trials.
4. IT’S ONLY MEANT FOR A WHILE
1 Peter 5:10
“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”Isaiah 32:10(NLT).
“In a short time—just a little more than a year, you careless ones will suddenly begin to care. For your fruit crops will fail, and the harvest will never take place.”The trial is only for a while, and it is not meant to be too long. It is not meant to be forever. the definition of ‘a while’ by God is a little more than a year, and once it’s more than a year, it’s becoming something else.
And if I may ask; do you know what is making it longer than the time it should be? It shall be discussed in the next part!!!
Now, check yourself, has the trial been taking a very long while in your life? I decree that your set time has come in the name of Jesus.
You will testify today!!! You will testify this week!!!
You will testify this month!!!
It will not be more than this month in the name of Jesus..
Amen!

HOW TO EXIT TRYING TIME III
WHAT LENGTHENS TRYING TIME?
James 1:3-4
“Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”Romans 5:3-4
“And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope:”Hebrews 6:12
“That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”For every trying time, there is a reason for it and the reason is to work out patience, and until patience does it work perfectly, you may not be out of that time. Until you understand what patience is, that trying time may not go, and the purpose of patience is to work out experience of victory.
What is patience?
1. It is the gap between the time you pray and the time the prayer gets answered.
2. It is not waiting with the mindset of ‘what will be will be’.
3. It is not waiting on top of the issue and worrying, but waiting on top of it without worry.
4. It is when that issue is no more your everyday prayer point.
5. It is first a state of mind than an action.
6. It is to be still in hope and strong in faith.
7. It is to be unmoved and unbothered despite the trials.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE OUT OF PATIENCE?
1. When you remind yourself and God about the situation always.
Genesis 15:1-2
“After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?”Genesis 17:1
” And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.”Abram kept on reminding God about his situation anytime He had an encounter with God. Even after God had made the covenant with him, he was impatient. In verse 16, he went further to commit sin by having a sexual affair with his house maid. But in verse 17, God told him to be patient, and until he achieved this, his name was not changed and he couldn’t lay hold on the promise of God for his life.
2. When the burden is always on your heart.
Appearing before God always, with the burden in your heart is lack of trust in God. It implies that you are telling God that though you’ve told Him about it, but you’re not sure He will be able to handle it well. Keep off the burden in your heart and move on. God is able and capable of handling the situation, you just trust in him.EFFECTS OF IMPATIENCE
1. You will be unstable
Psalms 92:13
“Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.”You will be tossed to and fro, you won’t be able to be rooted in the God ordained Zion for your life.
2. You wander away from your God-ordained prophet.
3. You prolong your waiting time
James 1:4,7-8
” But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and” entire, wanting nothing.
“For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”4. You will desperately make wrong decision
5. Murmuring
Numbers 14:27
“How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.”Those that murmur use to die because God always hears murmuring and He hates it a lot.
I decree upon your life that the spirit of impatience die today in the name of Jesus. In the next part (Part4), I shall be telling you what to do while waiting.

HOW TO EXIT TRYING TIME (1)
1 Corinthians 10:13
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”
At some given point in time, every man gets to that point where by, they get tired of life. Everything seems not working. It seems like the world is against them, and they look out for what God had told them prior to that time. it wasn’t in correlation with what they are passing through, the period is what we call the trying time.
Trying times are period of trials, periods that place pressure on your faith, period of stagnancy, they are period where by you face a lot of challenges. It’s a time when you are laughing over that aspect of your life publicly, but you’re weeping over it secretly. This time is peculiar to each individuals.
To some, it may be in their marital life. What God told you before starting the relationship isn’t what you’re experiencing, your expectations are not what you met, some are even delayed maritally after setting many plans in place.To some, it may be ‘waiting’ for the fruit of the womb, while to some, it may be in form of financial turbulence. They have been on the search for a well-paid job but all their applications are not yielding the desired result.
Trials may come in diverse ways. I am very sure that you reading this, also have one thing or the other you’re passing through. Just take a deep insight into your life right now.
After getting to know the one which is peculiar to you, I need you to understand that God is perfectly aware of it. While passing through this stage of life, the devil will be suggesting so many options to you about God that He is not interested in you, but my dear, it’s a deception!!!
God is with you in all that you are passing through. Remember, that for the Israelites to get to their promised land they had to pass through a wilderness, for Joseph to to become a prime minister, he passed through the other P’s as well ( Pit, Portiphar, Prison, Pharaoh, Palace), for Abraham to become the father of many nations , he had to become father of no child for a long time. Even for our Lord Jesus Christ to become glorified, He had to be crucified. For you to get promoted in school, you have to be examined, for you to be given an appointment, you will have to be interviewed, for you to inherit that promise the Lord gave to you as well, you will have to be tried.
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW?
Isaiah 5:13
[13]Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.When you find yourself in a trying time of your life, don’t ask God why me? But ask God what should I know? The Lord was speaking through prophet Isaiah that even though you are a believer you may have been forgotten in captivity because you do not know what you should know.vWhat should you know to exit trying period? Find out in the second part of this article.

Dear Ayanfe
Dear Ayanfe,
If I had two lives,
I would experiment with one
And use the other to learn the lessons
But I have just oneMy own share of love n fun was all I wanted
Just like everyone here & there
We vowed never to touch
But our lips clapped
My guards are down
And my resistance is gone
Oh! Where has my innocence gone?
I want my naive self back!
I hope my second life would learn
Not to arose love when it’s not yet.#World_Sexual_Purity_Day
