DELAY PRODUCES EXCELLENT CHARACTER AND TESTIMONIES
From the stories of the men we've shared, we witness how their delays led to remarkable outcomes. Abraham's delay yielded a testimony of faith unparalleled in history. The delay of the children of Israelites resulted in miracles unparalleled by any on Earth to this day.
David's delay nurtured a man of unwavering character, one always devoted to God. This delay played a pivotal role in God's choice to have David's lineage rule Israel indefinitely, with the Lord Jesus destined to reign from David's throne upon His return.
Joseph's delay honed his character, equipping him to solve national and international crises. His patience granted him favour and supernatural wisdom. When those who intended harm approached him, he embraced them, stating, "The Lord uses your errors and evil for my good and for yours!"
As Scripture states,
"Joseph said to them, 'Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.' Now, therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones." And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them".
(Genesis 50:19-21 NKJV)
Now, I pose some crucial questions: Are you prepared to allow delay to shape you into the person you are meant to be? Will you permit delay to mould you into the individual God has planned for your life? Are you attuned to the transformation that delay is fostering within you? I sincerely hope your answer is a resounding "yes" dear friend!
