A beautiful morning to each and every one of us, and thank you for being here on today's expression of igniting your day with Bami Daily or Lola Dora. The word I have for you from the Lord this morning is let patience build you. This morning the Lord showed me someone to whom he gave an assignment. As this person worked on the assignment, there were many human assessors, people who had to approve, evaluate, or make decisions at different stages. What stood out was this. Again and again, the outcomes of those assignments were negative. I could hardly see any that gave a straight approval. It was almost as if the assessors constantly came out against this person. But at the same time, I saw something else happening in parallel. While the assessments continued, there was also a steady ongoing building of this person, an unending progressive building, an unending progressive formation, an unending progressive improvement of this person was taking place. According to the revelation, I could not fully explain the role of those negative assignments, but I could see clearly that the building did not stop, the training did not stop, the formation of this person did not stop, and in the end, the assignment got completed. This makes me want to say to you this morning that no matter how many hindrances you are experiencing now, please make sure that your building, your formation, your learning, your growing does not stop. Please let it not stop. Genesis chapter 15, verse 19 to 20. Joseph was saying to his brothers, in essence, You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good to bring about what we see today and to preserve many lives. This was Joseph speaking after he had been enthroned, after everything he went through, and after the very people who hurt him came seeking mercy. What does this show us? It shows us that those painful assessments, those negative judgments, those hostile outcomes may not have been able to stop God's work, but they do have a place in God's work. They did not have the final authority, but they had a role in the process. This is where many people often struggle. Many of us often struggle here. We often believe that human assessments have more power than they actually do. But scriptures show us something slightly different. It does not say that they can stop God's assignment. It, however, shows that they can be part of how God works out his purpose. And let this settle in your heart. The God who gave the assignment knows about the presence of the assessors on your path. Nothing about your process can surprise God. Nothing. And we are told to let patience have its full work so that we become complete, lacking nothing. Those assessments you are facing, they are not just obstacles, they are producing something in you. Those assessments are the patience producers in you. God is not saying you are not capable, God is not saying you are not skillful, God is not saying you lack what it takes, but He's allowing you to encounter situations that develop something deeper, something stronger within you, so that your formation can be complete and your outcome behold. The Bible said there, let patience have its perfect work. Let it run its full course. Let it finish what it started. There are areas of your life that patience must touch. There are dimensions of your character that patience must reach. So allow it. Let patience go everywhere it needs to go in you. Let it do everything it needs to do in you. Can you take a minute this morning and say to yourself, Patience, have your perfect work in me? Patience, have your perfect work in me. I make myself available. I release myself to the process. Oh patience, have your perfect work in me. Let's be honest. None of us enjoys negative assessments. But the Lord showed me something quite important this morning. That there are two reasons patience must be allowed to complete its work. Maybe your concern right now is this that it is taking too long. Maybe your frustration is in the delay. Maybe your discomfort is in the length of the process. The Bible said there that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. I see two things here: perfect and complete. Perfect speaks of quality, complete speaks of capacity. Think about this. Have you ever encountered someone who clearly knew their subject, highly knowledgeable, but could not teach it effectively? They had quality, but not capacity. God is not interested in making you only good at what you do, He is also interested in making you capable of doing whatever He expects you to do. There is a finishing in terms of quality where nothing is missing in what you produce. But there is also capacity, which is your ability to carry, to sustain, and deliver under pressure across different situations to different people. God wants you to have both quality and capacity. Competence and capability. Let's put it simply. Competence is knowing what to do. Capacity is having what it takes to do it consistently and effectively. Let me say it again this way: competence is knowing how to do it. Capacity is having what it takes to do it consistently and effectively. God wants you to have both. This is why you must let patience finish its work in your life. Because that assignment he gave you, it has to be done. But these assignments, these assessments, rather, they are producing something in you. They are producing patience. And that patience is producing both competence and capacity. Let me give you an illustration. You must have seen people who have what it takes to calm a room, manage tension, and hold people together. That's capacity. But sometimes the actual problem remains unsolved. That is where competence is lacking. God is not just saying you should manage situations, he's raising you to solve the problems in those situations. Let's see another example. Consider when Jesus fed five thousand, he had the capacity to organize and manage the crowd, but he also had the competence to meet their need. He did not just gather people, he fed them. God wants both in your life. Do not despise these two things that patience is producing in you. There are people with capacity who must then outsource their competence, and there are people with competence who must outsource capacity. But God this morning is looking forward to you having both. No, no. I do not know who this word is for this morning, but please hear this. Yes, it can be tiring, yes, it can drain you. Yes, it can stretch your resources, and I do not doubt that your experience is real, but please do not quit the process. God is looking ahead and seeing something greater: competence and capacity. He's not just making you skillful, he is making you capable. I know that your awareness of how skillful you are is already making you feel like you don't need this process to continue. I admit that. Patience is working on your skill. Patience is also working on your capacity. So that when people come into your life, you will not miss them, and they will also not miss out on what God has placed in you for them. I pray for you this morning. Everywhere you go, and in every place where you are assessed, you will begin to see those assessments in the right perspective in the name of Jesus. Amen. I believe this morning that you gained something from the inspiration the Lord shared with me. And I pray for you that everywhere you go, you will be able to put this to work effectively in the name of Jesus. Thank you very much once again for being here on today's expression of igniting your day with Bamidaly or Laura Toba. Till I come your way again tomorrow. I wish you an amazing day ahead. God bless you.
