Delay Is Not Denial

Delay Is Not Denial - Part 2

The Lord is not slow about His promise,

as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. - 2 Peter 3:9

We continue on our study on 'Delay is not Denial". We have established that God will always bring to pass what He has promised. Why then do we have delays in certain areas of our lives? Sometimes you see fervent Christians who are waiting and trusting God for the fruit of the womb, you wonder why? A prolonged delayed is really dangerous.

There are many reasons why believers experience delay some of which Includes:

To Show Forth God's Glory - when then blind man from birth was healed by Jesus, His disciples asked if the man or his parents caused the blindness. Jesus replied them neither the man not his parents was responsible for it but was blind so that God Glory can be shown (John 9:2-3)

Every challenges we have, every waiting period we got through is an avenue for God to show His Glory. A delay might be better for you if it's ordained by God. Christian these days want 'Fast-food' blessings, instant miracles. God doesn't always work that way.

There is a waiting period (delay) not for you to be down but to build up your faith no trust in God.

A wait from God is not a No from God. When God asked you to wait, it means He want to manifest His Glory in your life. That is the main reason we shouldn't compare our lives unnecessarily with others. We are not competing. God plans for you are always perfect for you.

Wait upon the Lord and see Him perform

wonders...

Good Morning and a Happy Tuesday to you 😊

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive. When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...
