Why we should tarry in God's presence

Acts 1:4
And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. (KJV)

We are keen on going into the presence of God and still want to leave in a haste. We want to speak to God but when God decides to speak to us, we say the closing prayer and close the meeting.

The secret behind the great prophets and apostles was that they were able to tarry in God's and receive the much needed grace.

Here are what we stand to gain when we tarry in God's presence.

1. We receive strength (Isaiah 40:31)
The race is not always to the swift but to the graced. When we tarry in God's presence, he grants into us strength to carry on.

2. We receive power (Acts 1:8, 2:1-3)
Waiting is not waiting but acting while waiting. When we wait and act, we receive the promised power (dunamis).

3. We have an encounter. (Gen 28:10-14)
No one has ever encountered God and remain the same.

4. We hear from God (Hab 2:1)
Contrary to what the world thinks, God is still speaking but we must avail ourselves to hear from HIM.

5. We understand His plans (Gen 18:17)
When we wait in God's presence, HE reveals his plans to us.

When next we enter into the presence of God, let's not be too fast to leave. It is better to wait than to be a bait.

Jesus loves you.

Omo, I don't attend any church that closes around 1 pm.

After all, it's same " make Una repent" we get to hear each Sunday.




At my level, I no longer celebrate "First to Comment". It's for Indomie generation.

Well it's your God who programmed human to live on food.....

He could have created us in a way that we don't even need to eat to survive or better still provide food in abundance

Not playing games with innocent creature...

There is no need to be confused. God created man and gave him the power of freewill. God can control a man and make him do whatsoever HE desires. In order for God to respect HIS image in man, He gave man one thing that all other creatures lacked: the willpower.

God is not asking you to follow HIM because he lacks followers. It's a choice you have to make willingly. God has never forced HIMSELF on anyone and HE will not start now.

I know you are a seeker of the truth, so seek the real truth and forget about religion.

John 8:32
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

If you find truth in Atheism, please continue.
