TOPIC: WHY THE DELAY OF PROPHECIES?Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 50, Day 4: Wednesday, 14th December, 2022. TOPIC: WHY THE DELAY OF PROPHECIES? 4

1 And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken. 2 For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

3 And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him—whom Sarah bore to him—Isaac.

As Christian, when we study our Bible we need the Holy Spirit to reveal deeper than what is written in the Pages of the Holy Book. The Scripture is a folded book (mysteries) that need to be unfolded in other to get the necessary details, 

Ps. 119:130 says, The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. NIV

How did Sarah conceived? At old age, did she went for IVF? No. Despite their age, Ninety Nine years father Abraham needed to carry out his duty with Eighty Nine years mother Sarah for God’s prophecies to be fulfilled. They both would have allowed God to bring Isaac without taking the needed actions as Husband and wife. 

Zacharias, a priest, despite his unbeliever, still had to carryout his responsibility as a Husband before the promise was fulfilled.

Luke 1:23-25

“23 So it was, as soon as the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house.

24 Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying, 

The promises wasn’t fulfilled while he was still on duty, No. He finished his duty and went home, “Now after many days …..,”, When he performed His duty to his wife, The promises of God was fulfilled.

What is that action you need to take? Who is that person you need to meet regardless of the obstacles? God’s promises is always wrapped in action. God’s promises never neglect our action, contributions and steps. Many sons and daughters need to reconcile with their parents for God’s promises to be fulfilled. Some spouses need to be humble regardless of their age or income before God bring His promises to past. Which action do you need to take? Who do you need to forgive? Which secret do you need to expose for things to get better? Start thinking about it. Take the action. Everything remain at rest until a force is applied, that force is the action to turn things around.

Good Morning and God Bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
