FAITH CAPSULE: Your enemy can delay you but cannot deny you from where God is taking you.

Exodus 32:1-14

Are you experiencing delay in any area of your expectation in life? Delay will not be long before it departs from you if you will know to ignore your delay. It is important to understand that delay is not denial. God that calls you will not depart you. The enemy can delay but cannot deny you from where God is taking you. Ignoring delay in areas of your journey in life will block out doubt and the ideas of stepping out of position. Knowing God and having consistent meditation on His testimonies will add up favorably, when it seems that the road has been cut off. In the course of the journey of the children of Israel, It is written, ““Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.” The children of Israel knew quite well by virtue of their exposure to different miracles through Moses that God could not have abandoned them, yet they gave into an unnecessary worry that did not have a basis. As a result of Moses’ delay from coming down from the mountain, an unholy gathering took over from where there was supposed to be holy gathering. The children of Israel began to see delay as a result they began to look for another god. Some delays are necessary especially when God is the beginning of such a journey. There are some places you have started, but delay has made it look like you are wasting out. The fact is, when you wait on God you can never be wasted. Also, there are some delays that are meant for God to measure our faithfulness. Some delays are not of failure, but to actually make a way for getting to the expected end. When Moses’ delay became glaring in the sight of the children of Israel, they began to seek for a god to take over from God that cannot be substituted. In your delay do not worry nor give room for anxiousness to have a place in your life. Word of God strengthens when it states, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”(Philippians 4:6-7) A state of unexpected delay will definitely generate concern and there will be every reason to be anxious, but the word of God is enough antidotes for anxiousness that is rooted in the experience of delay.

Prayer for today: Your delay will turn unto deliverance in the name of Jesus.
