WHY THE DELAY?

It is vital for you to understand that nothing just happens; an object assumes a state of rest until a force is applied.
To think that delay is normal is very abnormal. All you just need to come out of delay is the RIGHT UNDERSTANDING. Proverbs 13 vs. 15 says that good understanding gives favour. There are two things you need to understand to come out finally out of any form of delay, whether in marital fulfillment or expectations, financial upliftment or job security & promotion, spiritual growth or favour from GOD.

The first thing you must understand is that God does not share His glory with any man.
Isaiah 48 vs. 11
For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? And I will not give my glory unto another.

So if you feel you can do it, then you may not glorify God when it is done. Until you see yourself as helpless unless God helps you, delays may continue. If you have been experiencing delay for about three months it is wisdom to let God step in now before it becomes three years. This might shock you: until you are ready to give up on your strength and depend on God, He may just be watching you. But if you totally allow Him to do it so that everybody will know that HE is God then delay will come to an end.
Proverbs 3 vs. 5 to 6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding.

The second thing that causes delay is having the wrong motive.

God does not want you to be puffed up by whatever He does for you. He wants you to possess the attitude of love. Be ready to give to others from the blessings God has given you. Matthew 10 vs. 8 says freely you have received so freely give. Maintain an attitude of love all the way. Don’t see yourself as more special, or more beautiful or endowed; don’t see yourself as more educated or more important than others. If you are more educated it is so that you will help educate others, if you are richer it is so that you will help enrich others. This is the right motive, possess this motive and delay will be a thing of the past.
