Today, we are going to look into a subject that has kept some people bond
for ages. But I pray that after today, your life will never be the same again
in Jesus name…
Let’s go to the scriptures to get the light of the word of God, that is, knowing
what God has in store for us today. Turn with me to the book of 1 Chronicles 4: 9, 10, from here we
saw that delay has been from the bible
days and solution is there for those
that seek for it.
What is delay?
Delay describes a situation of inability to get, attain or acquire one’s
wish within the desirable time. Ordinary, this should be no big deal as we all
experience delay at one point or another in the course of living. Life routines
include minor and occasional delays like those encountered at bus stops, in
road traffics, in banks, etc. certain delays, however, are of far weightier
consequences than these. Such was the one Jabez had to contend with. He
discovered that favoured others seemed always to work against him, and parental
interventions could not help. In face, he
was named Jabez, which translates to sorrow. Delays like this can only be
overcome through Gods intervention. Jabez realized this and wasted no time to
enlist divine help. Thank God, the intervention came and he soon became “more
honourable than his brethren”.
You
might be facing some stubborn delay today. If you will take your case to god
you too like Jabez will soon become more honourable than your peers and those
that think you will not succeed in life and ministry.
Overcome delay there is no doubt some scarifies that must
be made to be free and become an overcomer
of such delays in life like Jabez.
All you need to get divine intervention as Jabez did is
prayer of faith. This however presuppose that certain scriptural obligations
and conditions are fulfilled. To offer effectual prayer of faith, it is
imperative to:
1.
Be converted; you must know and accept Jesus
Christ as your lord and personal savior. John 9:31
2.
Know God’s promises relevant to your needs.
3.
Personalize and actualize the promises.
4.
Pray in faith: the prayer of faith will go a
long way to save you from all your delays and make the promises of God fulfill
in your life. Matthew 5: 16-11
5.
Pray with importunity. To be importunate is to
unrelentingly persistent.
It is to continue asking until the answer
comes. This is not vain repetition but a manifestation of the faith cannot be
denied.
Remember,
when you break your shackles of delay you pave the way for your passage into
the limelight of success, breakthrough and all-round achievement.
