« “For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hurries toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it delays, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay long »
2 The Lord gave me this answer: “Write down clearly on tablets what I reveal to you, so that it can be read at a glance.
3 Put it in writing, because it is not yet time for it to come true. But the time is coming quickly, and what I show you will come true. It may seem slow in coming, but wait for it; it will certainly take place, and it will not be delayed.
4 And this is the message: ‘Those who are evil will not survive, but those who are righteous will live because they are faithful to God.’”
The Bible says in Proverbs 13:12NLT
« Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life »
You may have really been hoping for something, but have not gotten it yet and your head is beginning to feel sick.
Beloved, summon up strength and keep hope alive.
Habakkuk 2:3 says that every vision is for an appointed time.
Your appointed time will soon come in the name of Jesus.
While waiting for their appointed time , many people do things that put a dent in their testimonies.
In Genesis 16:2, Sarah asked Abraham to have an extra marital affair with her maid so that the young girl could have a child for him.
Sarah gave up hope and compromised.
She later regretted it when her appointed time came and she now had her own child.
In Genesis 21:10, she told Abraham to send the maid away with her son.
Beyond that, I’m sure when she looks down from heaven now and sees some of the seeds of that maid attacking her own seeds, she would wish she had kept hope alive.
While waiting for your appointed time, just ensure that you are obeying every instruction of God to the letter, whether it makes sense or not.
Many years ago, we were offered the chance to buy all 40 acres of a serene campground called the “Youth Camp”, for N100,000. That was a lot of money back then. I gathered my people together and we prayed quoting the Scripture Joshua 1:3GWT
« I will give you every place on which you set foot »
We put off our shoes and walked round that camp ground praying and confessing that it was ours, by faith. Not long afterwards, another ministry heard that the property was available for sale and they promptly paid for it. Our hopes were dashed, but I encouraged myself in the Lord and kept hope alive. Before long, God led us to where the Redemption Camp is situated, though then it was notorious for being a home for highway robbers and big snakes. We trusted in the Lord and purchased the first parcel of land that has grown to become Redemption City today. The Redemption City now sits on an expanse of land far greater than what we had earlier wanted to purchase. Thank God that we kept hope alive for our appointed time.
Application – Your appointed time is coming, don’t give up.
