The Church is called to be a witness to God’s justice in a broken world. Throughout Scripture, God commands His people to defend the oppressed, care for the poor, and uphold righteousness.
Waiting is one of the most challenging yet spiritually transformative aspects of the Christian journey. In a fast-paced world, waiting often feels like an obstacle, but in God’s economy, waiting is a process of deep refinement, trust, and preparation. At Masihi.Church, we embrace waiting not as passivity but as an active, faith-filled response to God’s timing, rooted in the nature of the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God the Father, in His wisdom and sovereignty, works according to His perfect timing. Throughout Scripture, we see that His delays are not denials but divine preparations.
• God’s Timing is Perfect – Abraham and Sarah had to wait for Isaac, the promised child, demonstrating that God fulfills His promises in His time (Genesis 21:1-2).
• Waiting Builds Trust – The Israelites waited for deliverance from Egypt, teaching them to trust in God’s faithfulness (Exodus 14:13-14).
• The Father’s Delays are for Our Good – As a loving Father, God does not withhold blessings but prepares His people for them (Lamentations 3:25-26).
At Masihi.Church, we recognize that waiting on the Father is an act of trust. Whether it is waiting for direction, provision, or healing, we believe that God’s timing is always best.
Jesus Christ, the Son, exemplified the power of waiting in His earthly ministry. Though fully God, He submitted to the Father’s timeline, showing us that waiting is not weakness but obedience.
• Jesus Waited for His Ministry to Begin – Though He was the Son of God, He waited thirty years before beginning His public ministry (Luke 3:23).
• Jesus Waited in Prayer – Before choosing His disciples, Jesus spent an entire night in prayer, showing the importance of seeking God before acting (Luke 6:12-13).
• Jesus Waited on the Cross – Even in suffering, Jesus did not rush His deliverance but entrusted Himself to the Father’s plan (Matthew 27:46).
At Masihi.Church, we encourage believers to wait like Christ—with patience, prayer, and surrender—knowing that God is preparing something greater.
The Holy Spirit empowers believers to wait with endurance and hope. The early Church was commanded to wait for the Spirit before stepping into mission, showing that waiting is not inactivity but preparation.
• The Disciples Waited for Pentecost – Jesus told His followers to wait in Jerusalem until they received power from the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4-5). Their waiting led to the birth of the Church.
• The Spirit Strengthens Us in Waiting – When we do not know what to pray or how to endure, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us (Romans 8:26-27).
• Waiting Produces Spiritual Maturity – The Spirit works through waiting to develop patience, character, and hope (Romans 5:3-5).
At Masihi.Church, we believe that waiting in the Spirit is an active process. It is a time to grow in faith, seek God in prayer, and prepare for His next move.
As a Church, we live in a time of waiting—waiting for Christ’s return, for revival, and for the fulfillment of God’s promises. This waiting is not marked by despair but by joyful anticipation.
• The Church Waits for Christ’s Return – Jesus promised to return, and we wait in hope, staying faithful in our calling (Titus 2:13).
• The Church Waits for God’s Move – Like the early believers in Acts, we wait for God to work through us in His perfect time (Acts 2:42-47).
• The Church Waits in Unity and Prayer – A waiting Church is a praying Church, seeking God’s will and direction together (James 5:7-8).
Waiting is not wasted time—it is God’s tool for refining, strengthening, and preparing His people. At Masihi.Church, we embrace waiting as a faith-filled journey, trusting in the Father’s plan, following the example of the Son, and relying on the power of the Holy Spirit. In our waiting, we are drawn closer to God and prepared for His greater purposes.
“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)
The Church is called to be a witness to God’s justice in a broken world. Throughout Scripture, God commands His people to defend the oppressed, care for the poor, and uphold righteousness.
