Although this title is capable of generating criticisms, controversies, suspicion, or even confusion, if not all four options, at once, and could even be misconstrued by many to be an ‘Author’s Jab’ – that is, one of the deliberate acts by authors to capture public attention and readers’ interest using sensational titles and captivating captions; it is far from such mundane, frivolous engagements. Contrarily, it is a serious work that is as spiritual as much as it is scriptural.
It is inspired to help those who’ve been in a seemingly endless wait FOR God to know what to do to emerge victorious from whatever situation that informed their waiting FOR God in the first place. It will enlighten your mind to know when and why you should no longer wait FOR God.
The author draws this revelation from Prophet Elisha who, when he was in a dire situation, asked, “Should I wait for the LORD any longer?” He distinguished between “waiting ON God” and “waiting FOR God. ” Specifically, he brings out the reasons for the delays and disappointment people suffer while “waiting FOR God”, stating clearly why you should no longer “wait FOR God” in certain circumstances you face in life as God could be waiting for you to react while you’re waiting for Him to act.
It reveals the signs of such spiritually sensitive times and signals of such dire circumstances for you to know when you should no longer wait FOR God. Beyond that, it shows you what you’re to do in such circumstances to solve the problem(s) at hand.
The author used the experiences of several biblical characters to show how they “waited FOR God” to act while God was “waiting FOR them” to react which led to their waiting, albeit needlessly, endlessly, and fruitlessly. The author also highlights what people suffer when they “wait FOR God” at times they shouldn’t wait for Him, since there are times you should no longer “wait FOR God” but act for Him.
He stated further that your time of visitation or season of liberation is not a time to “wait FOR God” but a time to act FOR God!In the case of the children of Israel who spent 430 years in Egyptian captivity instead of the 400 years God stipulated for them. , the author reveals the attitude that sponsored their extra 30 years in servitude as the wrong attitude of “waiting FOR God” when one is not supposed to wait any longer.
Hannah also waited FOR God almost endlessly, for the fruit of the womb, but her expectation didn’t come until she stopped waiting FOR God and reacted, then God acted for her to receive her expectation. Like his Old Testament counterpart, Elijah, who waited FOR God and was almost killed by Jezebel; John the Baptist waited FOR God and lost his life to an adulterous woman.
Explaining further, he used other instances to show how many of God’s children are waiting FOR God instead of taking things “by force” because, “from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven” doesn’t require waiting FOR God, but “suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. ”“Why You Should No Longer Wait FOR God” is a revelation that gives you an accurate understanding of the times and seasons of your life, so that like the “children of Issachar who were men that had an understanding of the times to know what Israel should do”, you, too, should know what to do at every season and times of your life.
