0:39 Gifta International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA. Just believe

0:58 that some of you need this time and time out, a reminder, a

1:00 word of encouragement. We all need encouragement. We all need that reminder.

1:06 And I want to share this to let you know that some of you may

1:08 be in a place where you're saying, John, When I look at my

1:11 life, I feel like everything is in trumbles. I'm not seeing any progress

1:15 in my life. I'm not seeing that I'm moving towards my destiny. I'm

1:19 not seeing the promises of God, even if it's far off. If I

1:23 could only see some progress, if I could only see that it's coming my

1:27 way. If I could see some visible, you know, sign or progress

1:34 or some kind of a wig, I can be sure that God is doing

1:38 something and it will happen. At this time, I really wish I could

1:41 see something, John, I'm just waiting here, and it looks like I'm

1:46 just waiting on nothing. It just looks like nothing is happening. People are

1:49 making fun of me. They're saying that, you know what, if it

1:53 should have happened, it would have happened by now. It's not going to

1:55 happen. You're just wasting your time. You can at least do something with

2:00 your own strength and make something happen. You're just waiting for nothing. It's

2:04 not going to happen. Forget it. But I want to share it with

2:07 you as scripture. And I want to remind you of something because you see,

2:10 the other day, I was waiting in a railway station, waiting for

2:15 the train to arrive and pick up my mom. And that's when I got

2:21 this revelation that the railway station seemed so how do I say, deserted?

2:29 There were hardly anybody at the station, and there was no sign of the

2:32 train. There was no sign of the train, but I know that the

2:36 train is on the way. You know what I mean. In the station,

2:39 you don't see the sign of the train coming, but you know that

2:43 it's coming. And till the last minute, you don't see the train because

2:49 you know there's a cur the train is far away, because we have a

2:53 visibility of only a couple of meters, after which you don't see where the

2:59 train is. But they keep announcing. They keep saying, the train is

3:02 coming, the train is coming, the train is coming, and they say

3:07 that, but we don't see the train. Do we stop believing that a

3:10 train would come because we can't see the train. Then just when the train

3:15 is a bit closer to our destination, we can hear the train, but

3:21 we still can't see it. And then finally, in the last couple of

3:28 minutes or seconds, we can see the train approaching the station. But I

3:34 want you to understand here, guys, some of you are in a place

3:37 you're saying, I'm not able to see God's hand, I'm not able to

3:39 see any progress. But just because you can't see doesn't mean that God is

3:44 not approaching your station. God is on the way at the right appointed times,

3:49 said by God e will show up, he will show out, and

3:53 he will definitely show himself up in your life. I want you to understand.

3:58 I want to start up by sharing a scripture with the I want to

4:00 take the sovereign and it's found in Genesis twenty one, and this is what

4:03 it says, and I'm reading from the Nalty version. The Lord kept his

4:06 word and did for Sarah exactly what he had promised. She became pregnant,

4:13 and she gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age. This

4:17 happened at just the time God had said it would happen. I don't know

4:23 who needs to hear this that every promise of God is going to be yes

4:28 and amen in Christ Jesus, every promise he deposited in your spirit, every

4:31 vision he has showed you, every dream he placed in you, every word

4:36 that you're clinging on to, every desire he placed in your heart. I'm

4:41 there to announce to you at the time appointed by God, at the time

4:46 that God has ordained, it is coming your way the same way the train

4:51 comes into the station. Initially, you keep these messages that I'm sharing.

4:57 This word of reminder is basically like the way they announced the decision. This

5:00 train is coming, This train is coming. Don't give up, don't go

5:03 away, saying that the train is not coming. You can't see the train

5:06 that you can't hear the traine, don't go away. The train is coming.

5:09 The train is coming. Then what happens at some appointed moment, you

5:13 will hear you know what, there's something that's happening. There's something that's happening.

5:17 And then at the right pointed time, you'll see that the train steps

5:21 into your station. They at the right appointed time. You're going to see

5:25 God stepping into your life and making it happen at the right appointed time.

5:29 You're going to see God opening doors no man can shut, closing the wrong

5:32 doors, bringing in the right people. He's gonna take you to that next

5:36 level of your destiny. He will make sure that every promise and every word

5:43 he gave you, he's going to keep it. That's what the Bible says

5:46 that the Lord kept his word and did for Sarah exactly what he had promised,

5:53 not less than not like okay, fine, you know what. To

5:57 an extent, the promises became true. No no, no, no no.

6:00 When God does it, you will say, yeah, God kept his

6:03 word. Exactly. He didn't just do a little bit. You didn't just

6:09 do like, okay, I can just manage with it. No, he

6:11 would do exactly the way he promised, and he will do it in such

6:15 a way that he will get all the glory, He will get all the

6:18 credit, and he will get all the praise in and th real life.

7:39 that, now, do you know where you're going? And this is not

7:42 a message of condemnation. This is a message of hope. There is a

7:46 God who loves you so much he sent his only son, Jesus Christ to

7:54 come down and pay a heavy price by shedding every drop of his blood on

7:59 the cross. Thank you for dying for my sins. When you believe in

8:03 him, you have free gift of salvation for you that assures us that we

8:09 will go to heaven when we die instead of suffering in hell forever. I'll

8:13 just encourage you today to make the simple step of it and say, Jesus,

8:18 I thank you for what you did on the cross. Thank you for

8:22 giving me this gift of eternal life.
