WHY GOOD PEOPLE STILL EXPERIENCE CERTAIN DELAYS.

Delays can make you lose hope.Proverbs 13 vs.12 says,HOPE DEFERRED MAKES THE HEART SICK...And when you lose hope you lose faith.Without faith you cannot please God.So delays are dangerous and must be dealt with.

One thing that causes continuous delay is your intention or your motive.Are your motives pure? are your intentions right? Do you need money to oppress people or show off or do you need money to be a blessing.Until you decide to be a blessing you may not be truly blessed.1st Samuel chapter 2 vs. 3 says God is a God of knowledge and weighs our actions
(paraphrased by me).

You may be good but your intentions may not be Godly. You may be good but pride may be your intention unknowingly and because of pride you may be experiencing delay in one or two areas of your life.

Some people's motive for getting married is to please their parents or to make some of their friends jealous.This is a wrong motive,your motive for getting married as a lady is to be a help meet to a man in all areas.With this in your heart God will be glad enough to connect you to your marital breakthrough.

What is your motive for going to church? are you going to church to serve and worship God because you love God or you are going to church because of what you can get from Him.Until your motives are right,your breakthrough may not come.Now imagine for a moment,if 200 million dollars is in your hands right now what will you do with it? or what will be the first thought that will come to your mind.Check your motives regularly,always ask God to purify your heart.I believe as you make your motives right every form of delay will just disappear before you know it in Jesus Name.

There is absolutely NO correlation between being good and being godly.

One can actually make the case that the opposite is the case.

Please, it's time to stop selling this lie. undecided

Bad things happen to ''good people'' at the same statistical rate as everyone else.

Another case of useless Sunday Bling Bling, Dollar/Pounds theology based on complex ignorance and pecuniary greed.
First, what exactly do you mean by delays ?

Your breakthrough occur when, for example , you invent a product, an idea, a new or better way of producing or doing something ,.,Not through worthless Supplications to invisible fairies.

Did any of you guys ever pay attention to senior secondary school introduction to economics ?
If you didn't, do yourself a favor by picking up a book at your nearest bookstore.

C'mon man, Adam Smith's " The Wealth of Nations " was published almost 200yrs ago.
Get with times. Attune your brains to the present.

Introductory economics teaches the basic principles of wealth, how it is created, allocated, managed, as well as how it grows and shapes the social order of societies.

John Malthus and his Malthusian principles of economics is available.
GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND.

Africans, there are no longer any excuses to remain ignorant.

Away with these stuuuupid lethal mythologies that they used to swindle us long ago.

Let's stop swindling ourselves. undecided

Stop reading this book or similar books.

Everyone 'suffers', but some have gotten better at dealing with their problems.
Face your issues and tackle them head on instead of begging imaginary Gods for favours
