"The Patience's of Salvation" Part 2
Hebrews 10:35-39 "Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul."
We continue from part 1....
Stage four of Patience is...Patience born of Tribulation......
This kind of patience is one way birthed in one's life who has taught himself or herself to depend upon the LORD continually.
As recorded by Apostle Paul in His writings in the book of Romans 5:3-4 "3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope:"
Look at the chain taught by Paul....a perfect chain that results in perfect hope is associate with Patience. For one, in Tribulations, patience is earned, wherefore it results to an experience which makes one even stronger in holding unto the true Hope of Glory which we have in Christ.
For Job to say, "There's hope for a tree that's cut, at the scent of water, to start growing", he knew what he was saying. This words of Job, were a result of a true man of God, who through patience learned to be hopeful in all tribulations awaiting God's vindication.
Job 14:7 "For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease."
Despite all hardships and trials saints of God did go through in the bible, its one way of emulating their character of perseverance and patience which through there experiences we all relate to them when we go through trials and learn to hold unto God's word knowing He is faithful.
Stage 4 of Patience: This is Patience Of Approval in Ministry, this is recorded by the Apostle on His writings about the great turmoil's and afflictions Servants Of God go through each day. In 2 Corinthians 6:4 "But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses...."
Ministry and ministering fully in the Holy Ghost amounts to great Patience in administering and fulfilling the Lord's Command as given to His servant.
If a Minister Of God wants to minister in the right in the integrity and standard, Patience has to become a virtue earned to see the fruits of His ministry.
Imagine if Christ Jesus was not patient with Peters character or His disciples disbelief in Him.
For others to emulate our walk in Christ, our patience in how we minister before them will Approve of the Gift of Stewardship we've been given through Christ Jesus. The LORD patiently stayed and saw His beloved Disciples grow one day after another in His commission, staying calm in each manner of their character or disbelief as that was there greatest vice.
Don't just give in hastily, rather be patient when you minister to people. Its a virtue of the greatest liking in almost all of God's great servants. Don't judge quickly and leave the weak on their own, rather bear with them. Been Patient is one of the Marks of one as an Approved Workman of Christ Jesus.
Patience of Approval is stage five, (soon I will post a teaching on the "Path Of Approval As Servants.").
Now to stage Six....
Patience of Our Race: Hebrews 12:1-3 "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds."
Our Salvation is after the very walk of Christ Jesus, Him with Patience learnt endurance despite all shame and condemnation of sinners, looked at the great results of His death and by this patience of Endurance, He overcame and became the source of salvation to all who look unto Him. Brethren its a tough and a narrow road we are walking In, and its only in enduring all hardships through patience can we overcome the world through Christ Jesus who also overcame.
This is a race whose the winner of it, is He who can be patient to endure till the end.
Just as Jesus said, "He that shall stand till the end shall be saved."
This demands great patience, lest you forget of patience and become weary and faint hearted in this free gift of Salvation we've been offered by Jesus Christ our LORD.
To inherit the Salvation which is only guaranteed as whole at the end of one's life or death, patience plays a bigger part. Hebrews 6:12, "That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises."
There's a whole bunch of of promises written in the scriptures and its only when there faith and PATIENCE there's guarantee of those promises coming to pass in one's life.
James 5:8-11 "} 10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy."
James 5:8-11 "Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. {Grudge not: or, Groan, or, Grieve not} 10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy."
Blessed are they that keep watch. Shalom!
