Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest(Mat 11:28)

Why is that in this world most people do not wait to see the glory of God when ever they struggle in life a bit. Some people even end up taken their own life. And this reminds me of a certain story about a man:
There was a life story of a certain man who had toiled for so many years struggling in life. He was a hard working man, but at times what he will eat and wear with his family become a problem for them. And everybody in their community knows that they are poor. He could work from farm to farm of different people as contract, but will not get money. One may ask; why can someone work and may not get money? Yes it can be so, some people are born to struggle a bit in order to see the glory of God. You may be working alright, but you wont be paid as expected to free yourself. So this man decided to commit a suicide, while he was uprooting someone's palm trees for palm wine tapping to be distilled for alcohol. This man tied a rope up nearly to fix on his neck to kill himself, but heard the voice that: "if you have not die you wouldn't know what you will get" so stop what you are coming to do!!! The man stopped and went back to uproot the palm tree he was uprooting and stopped. In the cause of uprooting, he felt to be hitting on something with his tool. So he took his time and uprooted it gradually, only to found that it was a pot full of Gold. And he hit his hand on his chest and said: "is that me?! I didn't dream of this and he started singing hallelujah to God's name. He went home cheerfully and celebrated with the family. They finally became rich in the community.
Your beginning may be small, but your ending may be large. Therefore why do you worry to be rich in nine days wonder? God has season for everything as it appointed. Why is it that some people get rich early and others become poor. We should understand the principles of God's time and creation otherwise we will continue to blame God. When we read our Bible well we will understand that God created some people to be poor and rich, just to see the glory of God
The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all(Pro. 22:2)
Some people may be suffering from diseases for so many years. This may be attributed to the works of the devil. But with patience and prayers, on one faithful day when the fellow meet the anointing of Jesus Christ he or she becomes victorious over that disease.

After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in Hebrews tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty ajd eight years.
When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was sabbath(John 5:1-9).
You have not met the Messaiah, that is why you have been suffering for so many years. Do not be discouraged that your problem stand still, for the Saviour will visit you one day and all the troubles will vanish.
We have heard much about the woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had. She heard of Jesus Christ,she developed faith in him, and said to herself that even if I touch his garment, I would be saved and it worked for her perfectly(Mark 5:25-29).
Sometimes God allows us to stand tries and test to know the level of our faith. God knows us well, even the number of our hairs. He doe not want us to be perish, but want us all to tend to him, that is why He has patience for us. But human beings are not like that, if we become poor for a while, we start complaining and comoaring ourselves to those rich people in the community. We do not understand why your friend is rich, but you are poor. The answer to this is that: may be if you are made to be rich early, you will stop worshipping God or you will become arrogant and through that people will envy you and kill you. It may also be that, if you get the money you will not donate some for the needy ones. So everything has season and why it is so.
But when all seems impossible look up to Jesus.
