11 DAYS WILL NOT TAKE 40 YEARS
*READ*
The God I serve is the God in whom there is no delay. He is the God who does not delay and never delays as it is written in 2 Peter 3: 9: "The Lord does not delay in the fulfillment of the promise, ...".
*REFLECT*
What does delay mean? It's coming too late. It's doing something later than it should be. It's someone's state, something that is not as developed, advanced as it should be. It's the fact of running slower than normal.
Where does delay come from?
After Israel came out of Egypt, God's original plan was to enter the promised land in 11 days (Deuteronomy 11: 2). Unfortunately, the 11-day journey took 40 years (Numbers 14:34) not because of God, but because of the people who lacked spiritual understanding and were not ready to enter it.
However, the devil can also be responsible for the delay as was the case for Daniel. (Read Daniel 10: 10-12)
While Daniel was waiting for his prayers to be answered, the angel came to make him understand that God had already answered him since the first day. But because of the devil's resistance in the spiritual realm, the answer was delayed by 21 days.
Fortunately for Daniel, during the enemy's 21 days of resistance, he did not give in to distraction, discouragement, and murmurings, but remained focused, persevering, and determined to pray until the fulfillment.
*APPLICATION *
Like Israel, we are primarily responsible for the delay in the fulfilment of God's plan in our lives not because of God but because we lack spiritual understanding to discern the seasons and to take hold of divine opportunities in our lives. (Read 1 Chronicles 12:32 and Luke 19:44).
In addition, we are not ready and we are doing nothing to be ready. On the contrary, we comfort ourselves in all kinds of excuses, losing sight of the fact that the time that passes and the opportunity that passes do not come back.
*RESPOND IN PRAYER*
Prayer 1 | WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED TO DO FOR YOU AND WITH YOU IN 11 DAYS SHOULD NOT TAKE YEARS. REFUSE IT AND REJECT IT IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST !!!
Prayer 2 | PRAY THAT THE POWER OF GOD WILL SHATTER ANY OBSTACLE OF THE ENEMY BLOCKING THE ROAD OF WHAT GOD HAS ALREADY RELEASED FOR YOU IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!
