You must Persevere in Faith in God's word
To receive your Miracle and Never give up
God wants us to develop perseverance in faith.
A believer who has developed perseverance is a mature believer like Jesus.
God waited 4000 years to fulfill His promise of a Saviour for fallen man.
He sent Jesus at the right time, not earlier or later.
Israel waited patiently for the Saviour.
Likewise, God wants us to believe in His word and not give up.
We must persevere in our faith until we see our miracle manifest.
At the right time, God will manifest His miracle.
Never give up and say that God is a liar who does not keep His word.
Never give up and complain that God is not changing the situation you are facing.
If you do so, you are cursing God and yourself, and your miracle will never manifest.
1. God wants all believers to develop perseverance in our walk of faith
James 1:2-4
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
To have perseverance means to never give up in believing the promises of God.
We must continue to thank God every day and continue to decree our miracles every day, even if the miracle has not manifested according to our timing.
For example, keep on decreeing, "I have a good husband," even when your husband is still womanizing and drinking.
Never give up decreeing, because God is changing him every day.
At the right time, the miracle will fully manifest.
2. At the right time, when conditions are right, God will manifest the miracle you need
GALATIANS 4:4
4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law. If we do so, our words of doubt will stop our miracles from manifesting (James 1;6-8).
When Adam and Eve fell into sin and death, God promised to send a Saviour to save all mankind.
However, it took 4000 years before Christ died on the cross, in the fullness of time.
The Israelites had to wait 4000 years for their Saviour to come into this world.
After God promised the land of Canaan to Abraham and his descendants, it was only 500 years later that Israel possessed the land of Canaan.
We must, therefore, be patient and persevere in our faith in God's word, that He will do as he has promised.
If we persevere, we will possess our miracle at the right time.
HEBREWS 6:12
12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
3. Never give up and complain that God is not doing anything to change your present situation
LUKE 18:1
1 Then Jesus told His disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.
If you do give up and complain, you are saying that God is a liar who is unfaithful, who does not do what He has promised.
You are cursing God.
If you complain that God is not changing your situation, you are cursing yourself.
For example, if you complain and tell others, "My husband is still a womanizer and gambler," then you have cursed your husband and yourself.
4. Instead, we must be patient and persevere in our faith in God's word
HEBREWS 6:12
12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
We persevere by thanking God for His miracle every day.
We persevere by decreeing our miracle every day.
If we persevere in our faith, we will possess our miracle at the right time.

A TESTIMONY
"God touched my bosses to assign a sales commission to my sales team, even though the company that made the purchase bought the machines directly from the USA and not from our Penang office"
BROTHER DC:
"I work for a multinational company selling electronic test equipment.
In February of 2015, I moved from a technical support role into a sales role.
Having been with the company for a few years, I was considered an experienced resource, but I was new to the sales role.
"I prayed with my prayer partner that God will bring the customers to me, because I did not like doing cold calls (meaning calling on a customer whom you have never met).
As always, after our prayer, I believed that the miracle has come, and continued to declare and decree the miracle over my life.
"God has been good to me and has granted me favour.
God has opened doors to the right contacts within my accounts, and they have given me information, and have made purchases.
"In addition, I cover a big customer who had placed orders directly with my company in the USA, and the company then drop-shipped the equipment over to Malaysia.
However, my management has shown us favour, and has given us sales credit based on the trans-shipment.
"Because of this I fulfilled 137% of my quota by the end of the year.
God has been good to me and has given me favour all-around, and has blessed me so that I can be a blessing to many people.
"To God be the glory!!!"
COMMENTS (Brother Andrew)
1. To meet company sales target, as in the testimony above, a child of God must persevere in his faith in God's word that the miracle has been released after his initial request to God.
2. Such a believer must, therefore, persevere in his faith in God's word in Mark 11:24.
He must persevere in thanking God every day that God will send him more than enough sales to meet his sales target.
3. Such a believer must also persevere in declaring and decreeing as often as possible his miracles, as follows:
"By God's grace, I will more than meet my sales target this year."
"By God's grace, I will have favour from all my old and my new customers."
"By God's grace, God will send me new customers with new orders this year."
4. Even when sales are slow, and even when the sales target has not been met by November, such a believer must never give up thanking God every day for his miracle, and never give up decreeing and declaring his miracle.
By the end of the year, the miracle will come to pass.
5. When we have grown in our perseverance in faith in God, we have become mature and complete in Christ.
This is God's main purpose in all the trials He allows to come our way.
Only by the testing of our faith through trials can God produce perseverance in our lives.
6. All of us must exercise perseverance in faith for our miracles, not only in meeting sales target as in the testimony above, but in every area of need where we have asked God for a miracle.
Persevere until the miracle manifests.
And it will manifest if we do not doubt and do not give up believing in Mark 11:24.
Shalom.
