YOU HAVE ORDERED A SPEACIAL MEAL-TUESDAY CHOOSE DAY 28 AUGUST 2012

 

YOU HAVE ORDERED A SPECIAL MEAL

TUESDAY (CHOOSE DAY)

 28 August 2012

Well I've never been one for patience, I sometimes struggle to properly plan things out, because I want to hurry up and do it and get on with it. God has a sense of humour because he will allow everything to come to a standstill so you can learn patience! I'm learning. In the quiet periods where no money was coming in, when my company was going through a slump I learned to be still, listen, plan instead of rushing to act-Flesh must be tamed!

So in one of these periods after prayer I asked sis Buhle my helper in jest, are you praying for this and that because im still waiting, she turned to me and said, YOU HAVE ORDERED A SPECIAL MEAL, you'd do well to wait for it because it isn't fast-food. she continued, when you enter a resturant and see somebody's order arriving way before yours don't complain, because they might have ordered fast-food and you have ordered a special meal!

I was startled, not because of her wisdom because I know she has that, but by how simple her message was, but  powerful. How many times we ask for something: God please give me a husband, then while we are waiting we start complaining, when is this husband going to show up? when is my company going to take-off? God, do you hear my prayers? etc this mere act is tantamount to undoing the order you have placed. If you have ordered something, know that you have ordered a special meal, don't look and say but why are my freinds getting theirs sooner etc. If you have believed for something and you have ordered it, you'd do well in the waiting period to expect it, receive it and no matter what you don't see keep confessing and planning for it's arrival. Lest you spend 40 years walking around in circles not reaching the promise land BECAUSE OF YOUR MURMURINGS!

So I realised how right sis Buhle was (MY WHAT WISDOM) I remembered that I detest fast food, junk food, and microwave meals, im a oven baked, oven cooked kind of girl, slow roasted, boiled delicious meals, I rarely order fast-food. I prefer vegetables in abundance with a starter and sometimes with desert. Goodness I don't even like microwave popcorn, I pop it in the pot.

So in this world of rat-race, fast-paced everything including relationships -I SAY I DON'T! you've got to woo, you've got to court, there must be a build-up, there must be a waiting period, none of these microwave things, you meet someone today, tommorow you are in each other's faces, no more time apart. It is all tied to self-worth ofcourse. Queen Esther waited to be chosen as queen by the king in the waiting chambers 12 months, but she didn't murmur, instead she trained her spirit to be a Queen, and what a queen she was she saved her people (the Jews) from  horrific death.

So if you have believed for a husband, prepare for the house, the wedding, start reading the books, know how to do a budget, how to run a household, how to be a proverbs 31 woman, you cannot attract that which you are not, if you want a King, prepare & learn to be a queen. If you have ordered and are believing for a house start choosing the furniture, planning the rooms, the paintings on the wall, how will the house run? If you are believing for a business, have you done the business plan, have you registered the company, have you started a customer database, if you are believing for a child have you started on the nursery, names? schooling plan? Have you read the books on raising children. If you have ordered the rain,  prepare the land for the rain.

Let me tell you the consequences of ordering fast-food, it doesn't last, then you are hungry again, it's bad for your health, your skin, and it makes you fat and heavy, no mental alertness, YOU CHOOSE fast-food or MEAL? Questiong are you with Mr Right or Mr right now, lol!Tuesday-choose well freinds, & if you have ordered a special meal you'd do well to wait and prepare for it.

FAITH- the substance of things hoped for but not seen, for we walk by faith and not by sight
