For evildoers will be cut off, But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land. (Psalms 37:9)
There were many scriptures I could have used that contained the word "wait" in them, but I purposely choose this particular scripture as it relates to some issues some of us have encountered this year. I believe this word is not just for you single ladies, but also for those who have experienced some abrasion this year. Let's look at the first part of the scripture so that we can draw something from that. It addresses our adversaries and those who oppose us. I'm not speaking of those who oppose us in the flesh or the natural. But I speak rather to those who oppose us in who we are and all that God has destined us in this life. If I can fallback on my own personal situation for a moment, I was directly opposed by many and God supernaturally cut me off from everything that was familiar to me so that he could teach and speak some things into me.
Evildoers are not some wicked witch, but the word evil means: causing ruin, injury, or pain; harmful. Those who set out to injure you and hurt you, those who have speak against you with deliberate malice to cause harm to you, your character, etc. This can be anyone, even people in the church, those who are close to us. Evildoers work to obtain things that they feel will make them feel important. They work to gain the approval of man so that they can appear important and elevated. Evildoers like to be recognized and applauded for whatever they do. They want the credit, they are glory seekers. They are puffed up, arrogant, they think highly of themselves. They will literally step on others to get acclaim for themselves.
But what I like about this scripture is, the Lord lets us know that those who walk in this spirit have an expiration date. Those of you who have been battered, belittled, and put down, cursed at, laughed at, cheated on. There is an expiration date for those who have not repented and turned from this behavior. Some of you all couldn't even stay in your own houses, but had to leave, but there's an expiration date. You are taking the bus and had to leave your cars behind, but there is an expiration date women of God. Hear me in the spirit this afternoon. You don't have to worry about those who injured and hurt you. Don't worry about how you got kicked when you were down, your bank account got emptied out, and the repo man got your ride. If you wait, says the Lord, you will inherit the earth.
"The meek shall inherit the earth" (Matt 5:5). That means those who are patient and wait on God to do what he wants to do is who is going to get the blessing. Eccl 9:11 says, "The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all." So it is not how quickly, how smart, how you feel, how strong you think you are, but Eccl, "but time" in other words wait a minute. What I like in this too is that wealth doesn't come to the brilliant nor favor to the learned. In other words, the inheritance is not coming because of something you've got to do, but it's coming because of who you know. You've got stock in the right corporation and it only cost you your heart.
You don't have to do anything to show your haters how God is going to bless you or how God has blessed you, the blessing will be apparent. It will speak for itself. I'm speaking to some of you that have been crushed this morning. Don't rejoice in the fact the evildoers will be cut off, but rejoice in the blessing that's coming your way.
