Delay is not denial

Have you ever waited so long for a promise to be fulfilled? Abraham waited for 25 years from the time God made the promise to the time it came to pass. Do you have 25 years to wait? I don’t know if I do. I have promises I am waiting on and even when my faith is weak my soul just won’t give in. The bible says we overcome by the blood of The Lamb and the words of our testimony. Our testimony of small victories or promises fulfilled is what gives us strength to trust in God that He will watch over His word and makes sure it does not come back to Him void. But it will fulfill all that it was sent to do.

Whenever I think of My Father in heaven, I think of myself as a father. The promises I have given my children and the commitment I must make to keep those promises. Some are not even things I have communicated to them, but I intend to do them anyway. So, when the bible says He will do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think, I can relate to this. As a father I can meet their needs now and even their future needs. Needs they cannot anticipate yet.

I believe God, our Father in heaven can meet all your needs according to His riches in glory. If He watches over the sparrow, how much more you who He loves. During this time of delay, we experience a lot of doubt and questions. Did God really say this or was it not for me? Maybe I did not hear right. But if you pay attention to His Spirit, you will be able to hear Him saying that it shall surely come to pass. The bible is filled with testimonies designed to strengthen your faith walk.

There was once a famine in the land of Israel and people had begun to eat their own children. God sent a word that the next day same time there would be abundant food. An army of 3 leapers (and the hosts of heaven) went into the enemy’s camp and the enemy fled making the promise come to pass. May God send this army of lepers tonight for your promise to come to pass.

The Israelites had been freed from slavery and as they reached the sea, they saw the army of Egypt coming for them. The threat of death and a second slavery hanging over their heads but God split the ocean and the people walked on the seabed and onto the other side, leaving the army of Egypt in the sea as the water came down on them. The enemies you see today you will never see again. May God split the sea for you today and that the enemies you see today you will never see again.

Legend had it in this town where there was a pool, at a certain time of the year an angel would come and stir up the waters and whoever got into the water first would receive healing. I am 38 years of age and there was a man for trying to get into that pool for as long as I have been alive, but he could not. Many have said many bad things about this man. He was lazy, how come for 38 years he has not been able to make it into the pool. But I submit to you that was not so.

There is someone out there who has tried everything, and nothing seems to work. I hear people who have made it financially say,” oh I worked hard and that is how I got here.” Don’t get me wrong, I am not trashing hard work but I see people who work so hard, and they still get laid off. Tried getting a loan to start a business but because of his minimal income he had to borrow everywhere to make ends meet hence he has bad credit. But Jesus saw that no one was willing to help this man to the pool that was stirred only once a year. He brought healing to Him. May Jesus bring healing to everyone who has tried everything and still has nothing. May the Great I AM come to you today in the name of Jesus Christ.

I could go on and on with testimonies, but I will leave the rest for you to write your testimony, for today the Lord will come and fulfill His promise to you. So go ahead and write. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………

God Bless you.
