There’s a discovery I made, which gave me peace of mind immediately and it’s still doing so till date.
This same discovery is expected to
bring deep rest to the soul of every believer. What was the discovery? It is that all of God’s promises are already dated in Heaven.
There is nothing He has said concerning your life that is floating around carelessly. Heaven runs on appointments, not assumptions.
Habakkuk puts it plainly:
“For the vision is yet for an appointed time… though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” (Habakkuk 2:3).
What looks like delay to you is often divine scheduling. God is not slow; He is precise.
We struggle because we keep checking God’s work with our wristwatch, forgetting that He owns eternity.
“One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” (2 Peter 3:8).
God never forgets.
God never revises His word.
God never wakes up surprised.
And God certainly never misses deadlines.
When God spoke to Abraham in Genesis 12, the promise of a son did not come immediately. Abraham waited 25 years. But when the clock of Heaven struck the appointed hour, the Bible says:
“The Lord visited Sarah as He had said… at the set time of which God had spoken” (Genesis 21:1–2).
Joseph saw the dream early, but the palace came later. The pit, the prison, and the silence were all part of the process. Yet when the appointed time arrived, one morning changed everything (Genesis 41). The same brothers who mocked his dream bowed to him; not because Joseph rushed God, but because God kept His time.
David was anointed king as a teenager but wore the crown years later. Saul sat on the throne while David hid in caves. Yet when God’s time came, no man could stop him (2 Samuel 5:4).
Oil may be poured early, but manifestation waits for timing.
Even Jesus, the Son of God, lived by divine timing. At the wedding in Cana, Mary tried to hurry Him, but He replied:
“My time has not yet come” (John 2:4).
When the time finally came, water blushed into wine.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 says,
“He has made everything beautiful in His time.”
Not in your anxiety.
Not in public pressure.
Not in comparison with others.
Fruit plucked too early is sour. A baby delivered before time needs machines to survive. In the same way, a blessing rushed can become a burden.
So I don’t know what God has promised you; your marriage, your children, your ministry, your finances, or your calling; but know this clearly: God does not work by your time, He works by His own time.
And when that time comes,
- no witch can delay it
- no economy can stop it
- no man can block it
“At the appointed time, I the Lord will hasten it” (Isaiah 60:22).
If God has said it,
believe it,
rest in it,
and that settles it.
So uncle… cool down for Jesus, abeg
Aunty… learn to be calming down, you hear?
God is not late.
He is just right on time.
shalom!
