V 1- 2
Life of a believer
1 I waited patiently for the Lord;
And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.
2 2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
When a person says I believe in Lord Jesus, what goes on in these 2 steps, should be your testimony..
1) Wait Patiently
2) He Inclined and heard
3) He brought me up
4) Set my Feet
4) Established my steps
This is the lifestyle of the saints.
The opposite is what is going in christian world today
1) How many of you do wait upon Gods word when taking a decision?
when choosing a career, profession, a place?
Do you have a life of prayer? Do you have the habit of waiting upon Gods Word?
Don't mistake me, may of you might be ministering to the Lord.
But that does not mean that you know the Lord.
Many of you might be playing instruments, singing songs, or preaching the Word.
You can minister to the Lord, yet you might not know the Lord.
1 Samuel 3:1
Now the boy Samuel ministered to the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation.
What was boy Samuel doing? He was ministering to the Lord.
Word of the Lord was rare and no widespread revelation. because there was no waiting upon the Lord.
It does not say there was no preaching of the Word, but it says there was no widespread revelation.
Preaching can be there, but true revelation comes when a person waits upon the Lord.
Whenever you have revelation, your steps will be established and you will have a new song and many will see and they will know the Lord.
When your steps are established . you will read the Word of God when you see success and you will read the Word even when you are down.
And when your steps are established, when challenges come you will say great er is He inside of me than the one who is outside of me.

6 Then the Lord called yet again, “Samuel!”
So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” He answered, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” 7 (Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor was the word of the Lord yet revealed to him.)
Just because you do something for the Lord, does not mean that you know the Lord yet.
God loves you for who you are more than what you do.
Many times our thinking of life is captivated by what we do.
Luke 10:20
20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but [f]rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”
Mathew 7 says many will say to Me in that day Lord did we not prophesy , did not we can demons?
Depart from Me who practice lawlessness.
When you dont know the Lord yet, everytime you take step in your life with out a Word from God, you will see youself in a failure, in a mess, and wonder why did this go wrong, i even minister to the Lord.
If you dont wait upon Gods Word? your steps will be like walking in the miry clay.
miry clay represents your walk is not solid. wallking in clay , the steps are not easy, you stumble, you might fall.
miry clay is like democracy.
miry clay represents your walk is not solid. wallking in clay , the steps are not easy, you stumble, you might fall.
miry clay is like democracy.
Hear for yourself from God, You cannot depend on the waiting of another person.
10 Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!”
And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant hears.”
When your steps are established . you will read the Word of God when you see success and you will read the Word even when you are down.
And when your steps are established, when challenges come you will say great er is He inside of me than the one who is outside of me.
