When God delay to show up

WHEN GOD DELAYS TO SHOW UP...!

        "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', 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." Exodus.32:1.
    There can not be an end to man's unrest, curse, loss, calamity, and trouble until he settle for God and settle in his heart that without Him he can not do anything. Every alternative plan, way, and agenda you have to God's will put you in trouble and spell your doom. "...for without me you can do nothing." John.15:5.
     Practically speaking, there are so many things you can do outside God's counsel and that is to complicate issues for yourself, scatter God's plan for your life, waste your precious years unduly, and invite God's wrath and curse upon yourself.
        I have taken time to study my bible and I observed that there is no one who attempted to help situation contrary to divine counsel that doesn't regret it eventually. God is our source and sustain-er., He is the alpha and omega of our lives, He has the details of our lives engraved in the palm of His hands, He reserves the best for His children at every point in time, even when we don't seems to understand what He is doing or working out; all that matters is to wait and see.
        Moses said to the children of Israel at the red sea, wait for the salvation of the Lord that shall be revealed, for these Egyptians you see today you shall see them no more. Everything God does always express His glory, majesty and beauty. He does not do things: common, insignificant and unnoticed, so that we may reverence, fear, and obey Him. He does things in such a remarkable way, that, it leaves testimony and history in the mouth of its recipients. The kind of salvation He ministered to the Israelite on that day such a unique one that could not be duplicated, and remain fresh in their mouth even after many generations. I pray for you today, God will present and prove Himself Mighty over your ugly situation; He will put in your mouth a testimony that will restore hopes and draw many to the foot of the cross in total submission to the Lordship of our Savior Jesus Christ in Jesus name.
        Notwithstanding, not everyone can experience the unique wonders and glory of God, because, not everyone knows how to wait patiently on God for His salvation and deliverance. Yet, the deliverance God did not give you will not last and survive the test of time in your life. The package is meant for people who can learn to be patient with and for God without remorse. Only those who wait on the Lord the Bible says, shall renew their strength; they are the ones to mount up with wings like the eagles; they are the ones who will walk through thick and thins of life and not faint; run through divers challenges of life and not weary, because their strength and courage is from the Lord, and the glory of their latter end always outshine the former.
        Impatience of course has been the age long challenges of human race, it takes the grace of God to exercise, because it is not a natural phenomenon, it is a fruit of the spirit and the working of the Holy Spirit in man. The absence of this character trait has redefined many destinies that naturally ought to be glorious; it has rendered many mighty men of valor a failure and disaster to their generation; cast many great men from their lofty height to the bear ground, and the reason the mighty are falling and the weapon of war perishes.
        Many nations and kingdoms have suffered grieve consequence from the cold hand of impatience, and as a matter of fact brings innocent souls under its affliction and stack punishment.
        Israel is a nation God set aside as a reference point in all areas of conduct and practice to other nations of the world, and following God's own arrangement, He want to rule in their affairs and set them a standard that every other nations of the earth will adopt in running their national or territorial affairs, but due to their inadequate understanding of God's plan and purpose for them, couple with their rebellious and intolerance attitude to endure the temporal inconveniences, they attempted to covet the ungodly culture and tradition of the nations they met on their way to the promised land and insisted on finding alternative means to serve God since Moses their leader delayed to return from the mountain.
        The truth here is that, there is no alternative way to serve God, His way is one and His word stands forever. When you seek another means apart from the foundation Jesus Christ set for us, you will be at the mercy of those that suppose to serve you; you will confer upon yourself and your generation problem and curse; you will forfeit the good plan of God for your life and died unfulfilled.
        The decision made by the children of Israel to carve a strange god for themselves, because Moses delayed brought God's wrath on them and eventually responsible the untimely death of majority of them.

The few who repented were forbidden from using the precious and costly ornament they brought from Egypt.

When you cannot wait on God in your challenging situation, you'll confer on yourself untimely death; you'll become a carrier of promise you won't see to fulfillment. And most importantly, what you whore after you wouldn't be able to enjoy.

        Many people think using golden ring, necklace, and jewelry for our adornment is a bad thing, it wasn't so until the children of Israel made it so for them and the generations after them. God is the one that instructed them to demand it from their Egyptian neighbors before they abuse it and made it forbidden for every true believers.
        However, God is faithful and just to fulfill his promises if you learn to wait on Him. He neither late or too early in doing anything He desire to do, He does things at the appropriate time, only that His appropriate time sometimes don't commensurate with ours, but in as much as is the one to do it, wisdom demand that you wait patiently on Him and He will make all beautiful for you in His time if you follow in absolute obedience. His delay is never a denial! The blessing imbedded in waiting for the Lord worth the seeming delay.
      

The little impatience of less than 24 hours to wait on God withdrew the leadership of the kingdom of Israel from king Saul and brought untimely death upon him and his descendants.

Abraham waited on God and at a time when all hope have gone, heaven remembered him and gave him an everlasting laughter-Isaac; extend His promise from giving him a nation to a multitude of nations.
        Zechariah and Elizabeth waited on God and at the right time of God He wiped away their reproach, giving them the greatest prophet that has ever lived - John the baptist, the forerunner of Christ.
        Let me wrap my message up with this truth, whatever you ask from the Lord and seems to be denied, having ensured it was not as a result of sin or Satanic influence, then it is not good for you. Stop being driven by others life or compete with others, learn to be yourself. You are custom-made and a unique being. May God encourage you to wait patiently and obediently on Him. Amen
God bless you
