THERE IS A WAITING PERIOD
I needed to get some documents few months ago failing which I could lose something I loved doing.I went to several departmental authorities, following leads. I pursued these leads religiously without giving up. It was so exhausting that someone had to ask me, do you usually experience this? I asked, what do you mean? She responded; in life, some people find it hard to achieve things. Hmm, that is true but that is not the case for me, I said. I also looked up at that same minute and said God, do you hear?
In order to get this document, my family had to make several decisions and make a major change. It was not easy but we had to do it. When it looked like we have achieved the desired result, we saw the door gradually closing. We took another leap of faith to another department to ensure we get what we wanted. The woman we met at the reception said it is possible to get it by directing us to the appropriate office but she added, “THERE IS A WAITING PERIOD”. I explained that but this cannot wait as I stand to lose this and that. She looked at me sternly in the eyes and repeated, “Unfortunately THERE IS A WAITING PERIOD”.
My family went back to the car to start another journey to this office she directed us to. As we were sat in the car, I heard a word. Indeed, there is a waiting period but oh, many people will have to wait. The voice said Hannah as you are waiting; those who need this document from you will have to wait for you. I keyed into this revelation.
I called those who needed the document and said I am sorry this is the situation and I understand if you will want to move on but the response from the other end of the phone was “Oh let’s stay positive for you”.
They waited and they waited until I got the document.
I waited patiently for the Lord, He turned to me and heard my Cry Psalm 40:1
Indeed, there is a waiting period. I want you to know that God has a reason for everything. If He wants you to wait, He has a reason. If He gives you on time, He has a reason.
I learnt from this that God will never deny us of the good things he promised us. I also reflected and remember the good things I have asked from God, it appeared I will get them but they slipped away. I became confident at the end of it all that God sees the end from the beginning and knew those things I asked will not be expedient for me in the end. So if sometimes you are not getting answers, you may want to be sure that God actually want it for you. I declare by the power of the Almighty Jehovah that those who need to wait for you in order to get to your destination, achieve that goal, go to that next level, will wait for you in Jesus name.
I also pray that as you wait, you will not wait in vain.

They are the sticks that make the ladder to our next level.

Yes I agree. Please do not give up. God will indeed give you at the appointed time. One great lesson I learnt from all my challenges, looking back is that God answered me at the right time. If not, I would not have been able to handle the blessings He has given me. Sometimes, I feel I do not do it right, imagine if I was given when I do not have the capacity to manage it.
Hold on to the Lord. He has never fail before and He is not about to start failing.
I will leave you with this: Trust Him and Obey Him.
