Today's TOPIC: CONNECTING GLORY AND DIRECTION BY WAITING ON GOD.

SCRIPTURE: As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
Acts 13 verse 2. Hallelujah!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you wait on God, you are connected to Divine direction.

Spending time with God has a lot of benefits for the Christian. You don’t lose when you wait on God by spending time with Him

In our study today, we shall consider two benefits of waiting on the LORD.

#1. Waiting on the Lord is key to Divine direction.
When you wait on God, you are connected to Divine direction.

Maybe you are at a point in life where you have done all you knew how to do. May be you are that point when you don't know what next to do. What to do is to wait on God for direction.

In Acts 13 verse 2, as the disciples waited on the Lord and prayed, the Holy Ghost said, “Separate unto me Barnabas and Saul for the work I have called them.”
You get direction and clarity when you wait on God. God shows you what to do and how to do it, when you wait on Him.

#2. Waiting on the Lord is key to the Glory.
The Lord deposits his Glory on us when we hang around Him. When you have stayed with God for a long time, by the time you step out, people would begin to notice a different dimension of glory on your life. This was what happened to Moses in Exodus 34 verse 29.
And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.

Before this time, Moses had camped with God for 40 days. He stayed in the Presence of God to the point that a portion of God’s Glory left God and rested on him.
Beloved, when you stay with God, you contact His glory.

Remember this: When you wait on God, you are connected to Divine direction.

Take this ASSIGNMENT with you:
#1. Be determined to access Divine direction by waiting on God and spending time in His Presence.
#2. Desire for a deposit of His righteousness and glory as you spend time in His Presence. Yes sir!

Our PRAYER today: Lord, I receive the grace to tarry with You. I ask that you grant me access to Divine direction and a deposit of Your Glory upon my life, Lord, in Jesus Name. Amen.

QUOTE: It is a foolish thing to do, for you to spend many days in fasting and prayer, live a worship life, study the Word, etc. and all of a sudden God's power comes upon you in such a great dimension that signs and wonders follow you and devils are cast out then you stop fasting, praying, worshipping, and studying the Word.

Today's DAILY READING: from the book of Hosea 1 to 3.

We start with Hosea chapter 1, The word of the Lord that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. When the Lord began to speak by Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea:“Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry And children of harlotry,For the land has committed great harlotry By departing from the Lord.” So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. Then the Lord said to him:“Call his name Jezreel,For in a little while I will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu,And bring an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. It shall come to pass in that day That I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.” And she conceived again and bore a daughter. Then God said to him:“Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, For I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel,But I will utterly take them away. Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah,Will save them by the Lord their God,And will not save them by bow,Nor by sword or battle,By horses or horsemen.” Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son. Then God said:“Call his name Lo-Ammi,For you are not My people,And I will not be your God. “Yet the number of the children of Israel Shall be as the sand of the sea,Which cannot be measured or numbered.And it shall come to passIn the place where it was said to them,‘You are not My people,’There it shall be said to them,‘You are sons of the living God.’ Then the children of Judah and the children of IsraelShall be gathered together,And appoint for themselves one head;And they shall come up out of the land,For great will be the day of Jezreel! Hallelujah!

Hosea chapter 2, Say to your brethren, ‘My people,’And to your sisters, ‘Mercy is shown.’ “Bring charges against your mother, bring charges;For she is not My wife, nor am I her Husband!Let her put away her harlotries from her sight,And her adulteries from between her breasts; Lest I strip her naked And expose her, as in the day she was born,And make her like a wilderness,And set her like a dry land,And slay her with thirst. “I will not have mercy on her children,For they are the children of harlotry. For their mother has played the harlot;She who conceived them has behaved shamefully.For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,Who give me my bread and my water,My wool and my linen,My oil and my drink.’ “Therefore, behold,I will hedge up your way with thorns,And wall her in,So that she cannot find her paths. She will chase her lovers,But not overtake them;Yes, she will seek them, but not find them.Then she will say,‘I will go and return to my first husband,For then it was better for me than now.’ For she did not know That I gave her grain, new wine, and oil,And multiplied her silver and gold, Which they prepared for Baal. “Therefore I will return and take away My grain in its time And My new wine in its season,And will take back My wool and My linen,Given to cover her nakedness. Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,And no one shall deliver her from My hand. I will also cause all her mirth to cease,Her feast days,Her New Moons,Her Sabbaths, All her appointed feasts. “And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees,Of which she has said,‘These are my wages that my lovers have given me.’So I will make them a forest,And the beasts of the field shall eat them. I will punish her For the days of the Baals to which she burned incense.She decked herself with her earrings and jewelry,And went after her lovers;But Me she forgot,” says the Lord. “Therefore, behold, I will allure her,Will bring her into the wilderness,And speak comfort to her. I will give her her vineyards from there,And the Valley of Achor as a door of hope;She shall sing there,As in the days of her youth,As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt. “And it shall be, in that day,”Says the Lord,“That you will call Me ‘My Husband,’And no longer call Me ‘My Master,’ For I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals,And they shall be remembered by their name no more. In that day I will make a covenant for them With the beasts of the field,With the birds of the air,And with the creeping things of the ground.Bow and sword of battle I will shatter from the earth,To make them lie down safely. “I will betroth you to Me forever;Yes, I will betroth you to MeIn righteousness and justice,In loving kindness and mercy; I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, And you shall know the Lord. “It shall come to pass in that day That I will answer,” says the Lord;“I will answer the heavens,And they shall answer the earth. The earth shall answerWith grain,With new wine,And with oil; They shall answer Jezreel. Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth,And I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy;Then I will say to those who were not My people,‘You are My people!’And they shall say, ‘You are my God!’ ” hallelujah!

Hosea chapter 3, Then the Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the Lord for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans.” So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and one and one-half homers of barley. And I said to her, “You shall stay with me many days; you shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man, so, too, will I be toward you.” For the children of Israel shall abide many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred pillar, without ephod or teraphim. Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord their God and David their king. They shall fear the Lord and His goodness in the latter days. Hallelujah!
