” And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die? 7:4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die. 7:5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.”
2 Kings 7:2-5
Most of the so-called “waiting on God” is actually a sign of laziness and unbelief. God may never perform a miracle for you whilst you are hiding in your room. The lepers we are reading of didn’t wait for God, they stepped out without fear and a miracle happened.In real faith , sometimes you have to do ALL that you can do and God will do ALL that you cannot do. That means, you do the applying for the job , you do the walking to the company, you do the talking to whoever you have to talk to and what you cannot do, the spirit of God will do for you. Faith doesn’t mean you just sleep and things fall on you. In our last article, Noah built an ark, God didn’t build the Ark for Noah.
God doesn’t work at the Visa office, if you don’t do the necessary applications and try to enter the USA illegally for example , Donald Trump will make sure your prayers are rendered ineffective, he will send you back to your home country even if you fast for 7 weeks. You may even insult such a man only to meet up with him in heaven being crowned by God. I have said more often, “Don’t be a mediocre student who wants to get good grades through prayer.” You can’t be a terrible pilot who depends on prayers only to fly a plane. Get your things in order. Do all that is necessary to win . Miracle ability doesn’t rest on laziness. Sometimes, the miracle is waking up early, hitting the gym, working longer hours, or investing in research. You will see a miracle as you step out and start doing something with your life. David confronted Goliath the Philistine, the miracle that happened at the battle front. Your miracle will happen at the marketplace. Do all you have to do, and God’s word will deliver to you all that it talks about.
