When God is Ready, He is Unstoppable

“Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will free you from your slavery in Egypt. I will redeem you with mighty power and great acts of judgment. I will make you my own special people, and I will be your God. And you will know that I am the Lord your God who has rescued you from your slavery in Egypt.  I will bring you into the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It will be your very own property. I am the Lord!” So Moses told the people what the Lord had said, but they wouldn’t listen anymore. They had become too discouraged by the increasing burden of their slavery.  Exod. 6:6-9

When God is ready to do something, He is unstoppable. In our pursuits of success in whatever endeavours we choose, we often meet with brick walls.  These often lead us to discouragement and most often, as Christians, we tend to unbelief.  God was the one who promised Abraham a child but was not ready to give him that child when it was logical to do so.  So Abraham tarried till his patience was exhausted and he and his wife were sure it would not happen.  Abraham’s was old and his libido had expired.  He made sure that Sarah had reached menopause so logically, there was no hope for her.  But when God was ready for the couple He personally visited them  (Gen. 18:1-14), in spite of their unbelief and logical conviction that they would never have a biological child of their own. 

One of the greatest miracles of my life as far as becoming a University Graduate is concerned is that, logically speaking, I never would have accomplished that goal. All those who would have sponsored me were there, attempted to do so, but God never permitted them to do so.    When His appointed time came, he led me by Himself, he made me to sponsor myself from Primary six till I graduated at the age of 46 years and one year later, I was called to the Nigerian Bar!  Along the line whenever I lacked support, because His appointed time was come, he appointed external helpers to support me. (I was consistently angry with all the helpers I had hoped would help me) until, when after graduation I asked God why did You not allow these people to help me? His reply was “I did so because I did not wantto share my glory with anybody!”. Some events happened later that I took a decision about my life that went contrary to the expectation of those I expected to help me.  Then God reminded me of what He had said.  So if He had permitted those people, they would have not claim the glory for sponsoring me but would have considered me an ingrate! I pray for the reader of this devotional that at His appointed time, God will visit your situation in Jesus name. 

When God is ready, it does not matter whether one has been discouraged or no longer believes in Him.  Indeed God does not open the way until “all other roads are closed”.  Then will just arise and proceed and do what He wants to do in His own miraculous way.  He will also remove all obstacles.  Are you discouraged or have lost faith?  Your discouragement or unbelief will not stop or prevent God from answering your prayers when His appointed time has come in Jesus’ name. All your frustrations shall turn to miraculous breakthroughs that will be too big to hide in Jesus name. 

When God is ready, He guides our behaviour.  Abraham could have seen but not attended to Trinity.  But God guided him and he did because his appointed time to be blessed had come.  Sarah (laughed in unbelief), yet she cooperated with Abraham to cook and entertain Trinity. So the duo PROVOKED God’s miracle for their lives.  When your appointed time has come, you will not make any mistake.  Instead, your response shall provoke your miracles in Jesus’ name. 

God’s appointed time for you to be attended to concerning that sorrowful aspect of your life which gives you concern is nearer than you ever think it can be, It is true you are discouraged and don’t even believe God can do it again, but  I assure you that you will neither die nor make a mistake when He comes.  You will surely laugh last because your delayed Isaac will come.  Your deferred graduation, marriage, career opportunities will come in Jesus name.  God bless you in Jesus’ name.
