Destiny
is a function of time. And it is the devils target. Satan does not attack you
because of your past; he troubles you because of your future – that is his
primary target!
ð For most of the time, when Satan see that he cannot
derail you in destiny, he delays you; for when you are delayed long enough, you
are destroyed.
IT
WILL NOT BE TOO LATE FOR YOU! Matt. 25:1-12
ð Those 5 foolish virgins delayed the purchase of their
oil. They bought what they should buy but at a wrong time. They delayed and the
door was shut.
The
door into destiny is close-able. Those five people were virgins, they waited
for the bridegroom, they bought oil but they delayed and as such suffer
destruction! You will NOT REGRET
ð Delay is destructive therefore be warned. God knew this and
when the strange forces of delay took hold of Lot, he sent down his angels to
release him.(Genesis 19:15-16)
The
angelic forces of God are here today to set you free! No delay will hold you
captive any longer.
“Progress”
is the plan of God, “Delay” is the strategy of the devil.
Deut
2:1-3
Friends,
you have wandered too long, you have waited enough. What thou doest do quickly.
Turn!
Turn!! Turn!!! It’s time for movement.
Stop
talking, start moving
Stop
sleeping, start running
Stop
chasing the shadow; begin to pursue the real thing.
· Start that business now!
· Start that schooling now!
· Start learning that thing now!!
The
word says “turn”. Until you turn, your situation can’t turn. Life is no joke –
begin to move.
“Today
is the day of salvation” Now is the accepted time for your progress.
CAUSES
OF DELAY
Until
we recognize the immediate cause of delay we cant proffer genuine solution.
1.
Indecision Sos. 5:2-6
He
didn’t make up his mind on time, he delayed and he missed his lover. You will
not miss your joy!
ð Don’t be double minded. Don’t doubt. Don’t harbour
unbelief.
They
didn’t enter their rests because of unbelief which gave birth to indecision.
2.
Wrong use of the tongue Num. 14:27-33
The
children of Israel murmured and God caught them. He thereafter delayed the
whole nation for 40yrs.
What
are you saying with your mouth? (Don’t say I can’t)
Start
singing songs of praises, make mention of his great works and see him make a
way for you!
Miriam
spoke against Moses, and the whole nation stood still until she was restored
and healed!
3.
Closed Gate Josh. 6:1-2
God
gave them the land but the enemies locked the gate.
Delay
sometimes may be the handwork of the enemies.
But
God can open any gate.
4.
Curses
When
a man is operating under a curse, he will ever remain a struggler until he is
set free.
Setting
you free is not the real thing, but the ability to retain the freedom!
ð If a man who is not paying tithe and progress is prayed
for, he is temporarily free. But to remain free he must begin to pay tithe!
ð If a man under the curse of failure and backwardness
imposed by wicked men is prayed for, he is free temporarily.
But
to remain free he must not play with sin!
5. Fear of failure Num. 14
God wanted them to go but they
feared the opposition and God said they will wander in the wilderness.
Failure is not new. It is a
necessary step toward success.
If we don’t take the risk of
failing we will not get the chance to succeed.
If you are fearing failure, you
are dodging progress!
Now How do you escape delay ?
1. Righteousness
Joshua led the children of
Israel to conquer Jericho, they were to move forward and take Ai but Achan
stole an accursed thing. And the whole of Israel was defeated.
Sin causes delay; it’s
righteousness that can deliver you. That delay may not necessarily be because
of your household enemies or witches in the village.
It may be because of that sin
you are hiding!
It is that hidden sin that is
hiding your success. Lose yourself. Come out of it.
2. Divine Intervention
Pharaoh delayed Israel, until
God said enough is enough. This will not continue any longer and with his hand
he brought them out and took them in into destiny.
In Exodus chapter 4, Pharaoh
was told “let my people go”,but he refused. He delayed them until chapter 12
when the yoke of delay was totally broken and they were free forever.
Today is the chapter 12, of
your life, every spirit of Pharaoh is giving up!
