HH, Patriarch Sir Johnson
Beloved Community,
There is a season for every purpose under heaven, and some of you are currently in a season of preparation. I know this can feel frustrating. You have a vision burning in your heart, dreams that keep you awake at night, a calling that demands expression. Yet doors remain closed, circumstances seem stuck, and progress feels impossibly slow.
Let me tell you what is really happening during these waiting periods. The Divine is not delaying your destiny; He is preparing you for it. Every delay has a purpose. Every closed door protects you from something you are not yet ready to handle. Every period of stillness develops character, patience, and spiritual depth that you will desperately need when your moment arrives.
Think of David, who was anointed as king but spent years as a fugitive before taking the throne. Those wilderness years were not wasted time. They forged in him the leadership qualities, the reliance on the Divine, and the humility that would make him a great king. Had he received the crown immediately after his anointing, he would have lacked the maturity to wear it well.
Your preparation time is sacred. Use it wisely. Develop your gifts in obscurity. Study when no one is watching. Practice when there is no audience. Build your character in a hidden place. The foundation you lay now will determine how high you can build later.
Do not despise these quiet seasons. Do not wish them away. Embrace them as the gift they are. When your time comes—and it will come—you will understand why every moment of preparation was necessary. You will be grateful for the patience it required, the discipline it demanded, the depth it created.
Trust the process. Trust the timing. Most of all, trust that you are exactly where you need to be.
In patient’s expectation,
Patriarch Johnson
