(Two part lesson)
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes)
*NEED: lacking, to be in want, necessary, water, food, shelter and friends.
*WAIT: ANTICIPATION, expect until, state of hope,
*PATIENCE: to bear difficulties calmly without complaining, to handle suffering and troubles without anger, to be willing to handle annoyance, to calmly endure.
Biblically: WAITING IS ACTION, EXPECTING, DISCERNING… WAITING IS WHERE WE BUILD CHARACTER. WE COME CLOSER. WE COME TO TEST OUR FAITHFULNESS.WAITING WILL test our determination. It is a training process.
WHAT DOES OUR NATION NEED? WHAT DOES OUR CHURCH NEED? WHAT DOES YOUR FAMILY NEED? GET REAL: WHAT DO YOU NEEDED?
Hebrews 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Hebrews 10:36 (MSG) But you need to stick it out, staying with God's plan so you'll be there for the promised completion.
DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE MONKEY THAT ATTENDED THE LOCAL UNIVERSITY AND GRADUATED WITH HONORS WITH HIS BACHELOR’S DEGREE? HE WAS AWARDED A
SCHOLARSHIP TO A PRESTIGIOUS MEDICAL SCHOOL. HE GRADUATED IN THE TOP OF HIS CLASS. HE THEN SPECIALIZED AS AN OBSTETRICIAN… OB/GYN.
This highly trained MONKEY set up a practice in the edge of the jungle and soon animals were traveling great distances with fertility issues. His main patients were with expecting mothers. One day an expecting rabbit came in and sought medical attention. The rabbit said doctor I think I am expecting babies. Sure enough the test was positive. The momma rabbit was going to have babies and her husband would be so happy. While waiting in the office the rabbit met a female elephant and they visited. They were so excited. The next patient was the elephant. The elephant went in to see the OB/GYN and said: I THINK I AM PREGNANT. So the doctor ordered a pregnancy test. It confirmed the elephant was in fact going to have a little baby. Both the rabbit and the elephant were so excited. A month later both expecting mothers visited the doctor. The momma rabbit had 10 little rabbits. The elephant was hardly showing. Momma elephant was disappointed. The next month the rabbit and elephant made their monthly visit … The momma rabbit had 10 more babies, 20 beautiful babies. The elephant had nothing. The OB/GYN told the elephant everything is fine. Don’t listen to the rabbit. This went on month after month. Momma rabbit had 120 babies and had grand babies. The elephant cried and cried.
DOCTOR MONKEY are you sure I am expecting? The doctor said: HURRY UP AND WAIT… You need patience.
OB/GYN Monkey explained Momma rabbit can have 10 babies every 27 days. Her babies are not real smart. Monkey said your baby will stand three feet tall and weigh between 250 to 300 pounds. Monkey said, Elephant you will be so proud… your baby will be exceptionally smart. Beside all of that your baby will have the largest brain of any mammals. He will understand several languages and use tools to accomplish tasks. Monkey said you will be so proud because your baby will have compassion and understanding and bring comfort to other elephants. He is not like the rabbit, his memory will be great.
DOCTOR OB/GYN SAID: SUCCESS IS NOT AN OVER NIGHT ISSUE. Loving life takes time. The rabbit may have babies every 27 days, but they average 3-5 years in the life cycle. YOUR BABY CAN LIVE 60 TO 70 YEARS. You will carry your baby 22 months to 2 years. QUIT FEELING DEFEATED BECAUSE YOU ARE COMPARING YOUR SELF TO THE RABBIT. BE PATIENT! DON’T EVER GIVE UP! JUST BE YOUR SELF AND KEEP EXPECTING GOOD THINGS. One day almost 2 years later Momma elephant went into labor and had a calf… 5,000x’s the size of the rabbit. BE PATIENT AND TRUST GOD’S TIMING AND OPEN DOOR.
#12: OVER NIGHT SUCCESS? I DID NOT GET HERE WITHOUT BEING OVER THERE… PATIENTLY WAITING! He refused to quit!
Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
Luke 21:19 (MSG) Staying with it—that's what is required. Stay with it to the end. You won't be sorry; you'll be saved.
Who is Tom Brady? He was a kid that hated to lose. He learned a valuable lesson, BE PATIENT AND DON’T QUIT. Brady was born in San HOW DO YOU GET THERE? EXPECTING, PATIENTLY WAITING

Who is Tom Brady? He was a kid that hated to lose. He learned a valuable lesson, BE PATIENT AND DON’T QUIT. Brady was born in San Mateo, California. He was a good high school basketball player and football player. He graduated Junipero Serra High School in 1995. He was kind of a normal student. He signed with the University of Michigan Wolverines. Brady did not play a lot in his FIRST TWO YEARs at Michigan. He was a bench warmer, he was below average. Tom was patiently WAITING for his opportunity. Tom started playing his last 2 years. He ended up at Michigan with 30 touchdown passes and 4773 yards passing. He refused to quit.
Tom was PATIENT. He learned the game and worked with great effort. It was disappointing when he went in the 6th round of the NFL 2000 draft. Patience? Brady was not considered to be a real good player by the NFL drafting scouts. He was the 7th quarter back in the 6 rounds. THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS TOOK A CHANCE AND WITH PATIENCE BRADY played one game in his first season. HE IMPROVED AND GREW BETTER AND BETTER. PATIENCE.
Brady had the opportunity patiently waiting on the side lines. He played 20 seasons in New England. He developed into a very potent. He was just a BACK UP QUARTER BACK. HE BECANE THE GREATEST RECORD HOLDER ON THE WHOLE TEAM. He had 11 Conference Championships, 22 Davison Championships, he learned through patience to STICK WITH IT. He is the only NFL football player to win 7 SUPER BOWL RINGS AND SUPER BOWL TROPHIES. He played for the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tom was not a quitter.
WITH PATIENCE BRADY BECAME THE MOST WINNING PLAYER WITH 286 GAMES. Patience? As quarter back he played in 363 games… patience, a record. By patience he set the record of passing yards at 96,969. He set the record of 51 4th quarter comebacks. NEVER FORGET HIS PATIENCE, HE WAS SACKED 615 TIMES THIS IS A RECORD. TOM BRADY HAD TO LEARN TO GET UP WHEN YOU ARE KNOCKED DOWN. Patience? Brady’s success took many years of hard work and never quitting.
Patience? Tom learned how to patiently wait and stick to the game. I look up a NUMBER 12 TOM BRADY ‘S JERSEY… an autographed jersey was going for $3,799, at a pro shop it was going for $129. A Mexican stole Brady’s Super Bowl 51 jersey and it was recovered. It is valued for over a million dollars. I am told AN AUTOGRAPHED TOM BRADY ROOKIE CARD IS WORTH MORE THAN A MILLON DOLLARS. His 2000 Play off Contender Championship card has been known as the MOST IMPORTANT FOOTBALL CARD IN THE WORLD AND IS VALUED AT $3.1 MILLION.
Spiritually patiently waiting can be very stressful and high pressure on us?
Ecclesiastes 7:8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
Ecclesiastes 7:8 (MSG) Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out.
PATIENTLY WAITING AND NOT COMPARING SELF TO OTHERS.
Psalm 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Psalm 37:7 (MSG) Quiet down before GOD, be prayerful before him. Don't bother with those who climb the ladder, who elbow their way to the top.
NOAH waited. ABRAHAM waited. JOB waited. HANNAH waited. RUTH waited. PETER waited. There was an old man waiting in the temple to hold the Messiah. ANNA WAS AN OLD WIDOW… invested in church work. THE CRIPPLE MAN waited 38 years. MARY WAITED 9 MONTHS…

Luke 21:19 (MSG) Staying with it—that's what is required. Stay with it to the end. You won't be sorry; you'll be saved.
WE MUST PATIENTLY WAIT ON GOD! WE REFUSE TO COMPROMISE… WE DON’T KNOW THE OUT COME… BUT WE KNOW GOD IS ABLE. ARE WE PATIENT WAITERS?
WE REFUSE TO BEND, BOW OR BREAK! WE DON’T KNOW… BUT WE WILL GLADLY WAIT ON THE LORD WITH PATIENCE…
Daniel 3:18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
God we will patiently wait for your touch. I am going to COMPLETELY TRUST GOD… We will not cry! We will not beg! We are at peace and will rest in the blessed assurance. We refuse to compromise! The mean King says: I WILL GIVE YOU A SECOND CHANCE… Hey, King that gold idol has eyes and cannot see! He has ears and can’t hear! 7 times hotter? The men that threw them in the fire get toasted.
The King looks in the fire and sees four men walking around. They didn’t even smell like smoke. Patient waiting? It has been suggested they were walking around with their hands lifted up praising God. They were just trying to STAY WARM. My friend, WAIT ON THE LORD, HE SHALL SUSTAIN YOU…
CONCLUSION: We tend to think waiting is punishment and hardship. Sleep? Idle? As we wait we tend to lose sight of the goal. How easy is it to WAIT AND DO NOTHING?
Isaiah 40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
James 5:7 (MSG) Meanwhile, friends, wait patiently for the Master's Arrival. You see farmers do this all the time, waiting for their valuable crops to mature, patiently letting the rain do its slow but sure work. 8 Be patient like that. Stay steady and strong. The Master could arrive at any time.
I WAIT FOR JESUS TO COME TODAY. What if he doesn’t? I will wait tomorrow! And the next day! WE MUST WAIT UNTIL HE COMES.
Job 14:14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
