Delayed on Purpose_Yetunde Arise ebook 2021

God is sovereign over the womb. How many times
have you attributed the delays in your life to men
or the devil, given men the power they don’t have
over you? The truth is the devil cannot attack
God’s children without God’s permission as we
could see in the life of job and it is usually for a
greater good. He can only attack when the
children of God allow him through sin,
disobedience or ignorance. And that is why the
Bible counsels us to give no place to the devil.
Our mother Sarah shows us one of the
weaknesses of human, hope deferred make the
heart sick proverb 13;12. tired of waiting she
begged her husband to take in her maid. She
figured out another way of raising a seed for her
family through a surrogate mother. we all know
the great pain this method of helping God to fulfill
His promise caused Abram and his seed. But as
then he that was born after the flesh persecuted
him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is
now. Galatians 4:29. Ishmael and his descendant,
who were born after the flesh persecuted Isaac
and his descendant. who were born after the
spirit? So also, now, whatever you get outside God
will cause you pain at the end and will also fight
the actual provision of God for you. How many
women have also figured out other ways of
helping God to fulfill His promise in their lives in
our world? Please I genuinely plead with you,
repent and return to God, because we have seen
so many cases as we could also see in this story, it
usually leads to an unending pain. Just like that
sinful woman who return to the master pouring
her much love on him, as she washes His feet with
tears, and wipe them with the hairs of her head,
and anointed them with alabaster oil. Jesus said to
her thy faith has saved thee, go in peace (Luke
7:50). It is more of the state of the heart. You need
to truly repent, forgive yourself and receive the
forgiveness of God by faith. Arise like a giant and
say rejoice not over me my enemy though I fall yet
I will rise again. Your faith in the finished work of
Christ shall save you.
The sequence of temptation is usually built over
time; Abraham must have been nursing this idea
of going in to Hagar before Sarah presented it to
him. And this shows in his immediate acceptance
of the offer because he could have said no or go to
consult God if he could go ahead to do it since he
has an intimate relationship with God. But here it
only shows us the limitation associated with being
a man. We have this treasure in a weak earthen
vessel. The humanity of man shows in various
form if not quickly dealt with, it can drag man out
of God’s will. Many who went to seek children
from another source didn’t want to but after
persistent persuasion from relative and family for
years without them having result to show, they
got tired and went. If you have fallen, please rise
up again, it can’t be worst before God, he loves
