Have you ever desired abundance during a season of harvest, only for it to seem like it’s not coming? I’ve experienced this a few times, and each time, I realized that blessings don’t always arrive in the way we expect. But this is the confidence I hold: when God says, "Whenever we call, He answers," it means that the answers we long for are already on their way.
I recall a testimony from a family friend who sowed a seed and expected a return. She believed, as she always did, that whenever she sows, she will reap financial blessings. However, during this particular season, while she was anticipating an inflow of finances, something unexpected occurred. Her husband was involved in a serious car accident, but by the grace of God, he emerged from it without a scratch. That was the undeniable hand of God at work.
At times, the abundance we desire may not come in the form we envision. It doesn’t mean that God hasn’t answered our prayers—it simply means the answer may take a shape we didn’t anticipate.
Many of us pray and fast for abundance, yet it sometimes feels delayed. As children of God, it is essential to rely on His promises. Unlike people, God is always faithful and never breaks His word. In Joel 2:15-20, the people fasted and prayed, and the priests cried out to the Lord, asking, "Spare your people, Lord... Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?'"
There are times when we, too, find ourselves questioning God’s faithfulness. We wonder why it feels like He is taking too long to respond. Honestly, I have been there before, and I can relate to that feeling. But during these moments, God always provides His assurance as an anchor for our souls.
Friend, By faith it’s time for you to hold God by his word and step into the abundance that He has prepared for you. This abundance has your name on it. Never again will you experience loss of any kind for the Lord is here to restore the years, you've lost, and in plenty you shall live.
In Joel 2:19, God’s promise stands: "The Lord replied to them, 'I am sending you grain, new wine, and olive oil, enough to satisfy you fully; never again will I make you an object of scorn to the nations.'" (NIV). This promise is for those who truly love and honor Him.
Welcome to your season of abundance.
Stay Revived!
