Topic: YOUR BLOOMING SEASON IS NEAR!
(GENESIS 30:2-24; 1 SAMUEL 1:19-20).
Delay is defined as: “To cause to be later or slower than expected/desired.” If you have experienced a delay/go-slow concerning any matter in your yesteryears, note that most great things God does are anchored on delay. In fact, the first miracle of Jesus Christ was wrought under an atmosphere of delay. HE BROUGHT OUT THE BEST WINE AT LAST, NOT AT FIRST! Hear what the governor of the feast told the bridegroom:”…….but thou hast kept the good wine until now” –John 2 vs 10. Note: UNTILL NOW! That is what people will say about your life and ministry this year!
They will say that the Lord kept your healing, wedding, financial turn- around, ministry explosion, business enlargement, career decoration, etc. UNTILL NOW -2017! Ah! Yes, they will say that the Lord kept your EVIDENCE of serving Him UNTILL NOW -2017! Indeed, that testimony you have waited for all these years shall come forth in a blaze of glory and the world shall leap with you in the celebration song of: “UNTILL NOW, HE HAS KEPT ME IN SILENCE, but NOW, my hour has come and HIS voice is heard aloud.”
So, no matter what is happening concerning your heart’s expectations, determine to be patient a little more! See what Frank Kafka wrote: “There are two cardinal sins from which all others spring: IMPATIENCE AND LAZINESS.” Titus Maccius also wrote: “Patience is the best remedy for every trouble.” Dennis Waitley declared: “As long as we are persistent in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.”
No wonder Joseph, who was the greatest, came late! No wonder Prophet Samuel came late! Yes, indeed, no wonder John the Baptist was sent after an “embarrassing” delay ( Luke 1:11-17). OH, GREAT DESTINIES ARE MOST OFTEN LINKED TO GREAT DELAYS! Hold on for soon you shall sing the Latin song, “Gloria in excelsis Deo” – GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, because your season to BLOOM is so near! Amen and Amen!
