YOU ARE NOT FROM THE DUST BUT A RIB

LET YOUR PATIENCE BE COMPLETE
August 25, 2022[Genesis 16:7-13]
The first thing that Hagar did in her suffering is that she realized that God saw her and met with Him in the wilderness. Even when the angel told her to go back, she did not refuse. She knew the trouble she went through when she was staying there but she had to endure. Her endurance was successful because she knew that God was with her. God provided for her and her son in the wilderness.
You might find yourself in an endurance season but when you do not realize that God is watching, you will not see His provision. You will not even be able to hear Him. We say God is far, but it is us who are shutting our ears and not able to hear Him. Hagar did not refuse because it was not about her but about what she had to go through.
If Hagar was selfish in thinking about herself, Ishmael would not exist. Many terminated Ishmael because they did not endure. You calculated saying that you cannot go back. Even in the wilderness, God provides. The wilderness is where there is no house and no comfort, but God wants you there. That is endurance.
Hannah was not barren, but God closed her womb. There are instances when we pray to say that God, I want this but God closes. Until you submit and endure, He will never open your womb. Women differ. In endurance, God is also dealing with characters. Sometimes we want something that will kill us because our characters were not molded for what we long for.
Sometimes what you want does not mean God does not want to, but He wants to prepare you first to be able to keep what God will give you.
You can be in endurance and have perseverance but there is no prayer in all of this, you will remain in the wilderness and there will be no provision for you. For your endurance to be successful, you have to have a prayer that opens ways.
If you have endurance but no prayer, you will not survive. For your endurance to be fruitful, you have to have a prayer. Hannah went back to God and poured her heart into God. When you endure, pour your heart unto God. In endurance that is where you have to be closer to God. You are making a mistake that in your endurance you are pouring your heart to another sister, she cannot help you. Go to your Creator.
Hannah was blessed after understanding her endurance. She was not blessed with just one son but more. God wants to bless you with more but because you do not want to endure you end up not having that one. When you endure in Him, when He opens, no one can close. It does not matter how long it takes, after endurance, there is a testimony.
Ruth endured but she did not endure for herself but the sake of her mother-in-law. Her endurance came at an unwelcoming age. She was old but she had to humble herself. She had to work hard. Her endurance is unique because it was not for her only but also her mother-in-law. The other sister-in-law said she cannot but rather go back home.
There are those when they are supposed to endure, they check first who is around. We need Ruth as a woman who will not endure for herself but the next person. Ruth did not mind who is around or who was helping her. She was alone. She did not do it for herself but her mother-in-law. She had to come down and humble herself to be able to provide for her and her mother-in-law.
In her endurance, there was a kind man who was looking. Some of us want to endure but we want spectators. We want to be rubbed on the shoulders. Ruth did not have that but there was a kind man who was looking. The man did not just look but he decided that this woman deserved to be taken care of. When you endure it is tough, there is no hope. In your endurance, there is a man who is looking and ready to take care of you.
Esther suffered from knowledge and position. Esther had knowledge. Esther knew that if she spoke, she would be executed. You know you have the Word but now you are calculating that if you speak you will be executed. Esther knew that she could not keep quiet.
What she was supposed to endure, she could not endure without prayer and fasting. Some of the Esthers, it is not that they cannot speak but they are threatened that if they speak, they will be massacred. Because of your quietness, your loved ones are suffering. When you keep quiet you are putting your loved ones at risk.
Women must not keep quiet, not shouting but be in prayer and fasting. Endure in prayer and fasting. In that way, God will guide us. Go to prayer. Endurance may come in different ways, but the key thing is prayer. You will burn if you do not pray.
Women who endured without prayer are bitter. There are Christians who do not believe in what they have received. God does not want us to have long speeches for Him to answer. He is so close and always listening. It is not too late; you can still pray.
Mary was also a woman. Her endurance was in joy and pain. Her endurance started being a blessing that brings joy but ended up in pain. She was so blessed. She was chosen amongst all women to carry a form of God in her body. Being a woman carrying the Messiah in you. It was a blessing but that blessing needed her to endure.
There was a time when Jesus had to tell Mary that you women keep quiet, it is not yet time. You as a mother have to pull back and endure that God may lead. Mary in her endurance had to witness Jesus not being received by the people He came to die for. She had to endure that.
In Mary’s endurance, she had to keep quiet even though it was not nice. Mary felt the pain, but they could not see it. She endured. She did not stop Jesus, but she endured. She witnessed everything but she kept quiet. Mary is a mother, but she had to submit to her child and keep quiet. There are situations that you as a woman may face that may require you to speak but keep quiet. If Mary protected Jesus, He would not have fulfilled the Will of God. She kept quiet and she endured.
We have Marys, who speak and terminate the Will of God. The endurance that we need is to keep quiet. We need to be silent for the Will of God to be fulfilled. She endured silently. She was so silent. Mary, you need to be silent.
I know you can see what is happening around you, but your endurance is to keep quiet. You keep quiet for the Will to be fulfilled. It does not matter how painful it is, the Will has to be fulfilled. We would not be here if Mary stood in the way. We are all here because of one Son. As many as we are women, it is still important how we endure. If we knew the Will of God, we would not have made mistakes.
