Delay not denial

- Rev R & Mrs E Juakinyu.

Exodus 2 vs 23-25; However, after a long time (nearly forty years) the king of Egypt died; and the Israelites were sighing and groaning because of the bondage. They kept crying, and their cry because of slavery ascended to God.And God heard their sighing and groaning and (earnestly) remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. God saw the Israelites and took knowledge of them and concerned Himself about them (knowing all, understand­ing, rememberin­g all). God is not in a hurry. He waited for 40 years for Pharaoh to die a natural death so that Moses could come back and deliver Israel. Remember Jesus was four days late, when he was called to pray for Lazarus. John 11 vs 17: So when Jesus arrived, He found that he (Lazarus) had already been in the tomb four days. Delay is not denial. Our God is a covenant keeper. He keeps his promises. At the right time, He will do it for you. He has the power and ability to do all He promised.

Prayer moves God. Let us remind Him about His promises. Let us remind him about His Covenant. Let us remind Him of His wonderful works.

As Christians let us continue to pray and believe God for a miracle. Everything is under His eyes. He understand­s the

Delay is not denial. You have waited for this one thing for a long time. Time is just, but a number. Time is in His hands. He is not bound or limited by time neither by distance.

When the time is right the Lord will make it happen!
