Short Sermon: Trusting God’s Timing — Lessons from Joel Osteen

By -


 One of the hardest lessons in life is learning to wait. We pray, we believe, yet things don’t move as fast as we expect. Joel Osteen often reminds us that delay is not denial — it is God preparing the right moment.

The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He has made everything beautiful in its time.” Not in our time. Not when we feel ready. But in His perfect time. When we rush God, we can miss what He is developing in us during the waiting season.

Many times, God is not withholding the blessing — He is strengthening our character, growing our faith, and aligning circumstances we cannot see. Habakkuk 2:3 tells us, “Though the vision tarries, wait for it; it will surely come.”

Waiting is not wasted time. It is training time. Trusting God’s timing means choosing peace over panic, faith over frustration, and hope over doubt. What God promised will come to pass — right on schedule.

Reflection:

What if the delay you are facing is God’s way of protecting you and preparing you?

Sometimes the greatest faith is not in asking God to hurry — but in trusting Him enough to wait.

Short Sermon: The Danger of Entitlement – Bishop T.D. Jakes

By -

Some people feel life owes them something. They expect promotions, blessings, or recognition without effort or faithfulness. That sense of entitlement can quietly destroy your spiritual growth. Bishop T.D. Jakes warns that entitlement leads to pride, impatience, and disappointment. When we believe God owes us favor, we forget gratitude and obedience. The Bible reminds us in Galatians 6:7: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” Entitlement convinces us to demand results without sowing seeds of faith, service, or diligence. True blessing comes through humble submission and consistent obedience. Psalm 84:11 says: “No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.” Focus on walking faithfully, serving diligently, and trusting God’s timing. Blessings follow obedience, not attitude. 💬 Reflection Question: Are you expecting God to give you what you haven’t faithfully worked for, or are you willing to serve and sow first?
