Not everything is instant

We live in an instant world. Drive through take away, microwave oven food: ready in 3 minutes. Unfortunately we have brought this into the church but we have to understand that the ways of God are not always instant.

Let’s look at an example in scripture: 
After the flood, God said that man’s days would be 120 ( Genesis 6: 3), however do you know that it took a while for the physical manifestation of that word to fully come to pass? The Word was spoken, however it took time to be become effective in the earth, As a matter of fact, Noah lived for 950 years (Genesis 9: 29), even longer than Adam. Did that change Gods spoken word? No it did not, just as when you receive a word from the Lord. It will come to pass.

The pattern after the spoken word was that man’s life span started to decrease after the flood. Genesis 11: 10 gives the life span of the descendants of Noah. 

Name
Age they had a child
Length of life (years)
​Shem  
100
600
​Arphaxad
53
438
​Salah
30
433
​Eber 
43
473
​Peleg 
30
239
​Reu 
32
239
​Serug 
30
230
​Nahor 
29
148
​Terah  
70
205
Therefore when you receive a word, or you begin to make faith declarations the word is being effective. Even if you prayed and it appeared that the situation got worst, don’t be discouraged, Gods word is coming to pass. Remember that Noah after the spoken word lived until 590, and his son  Shem,  600, Both lived longer than Adam but did that change what God said? No not at all. If you look at the pattern, Eber lived for 473 years and after that there was a  big drop in age from 473 to 239 and so it continued to drop. Abraham died at 175 (Genesis 25:7),  Joseph died at 110, Sarah 107. Today if someone lives slightly beyond 120 they are in the Guinness book of records, because it is rare. 
According to this criterion, the longest human lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of France (1875–1997), who lived to the age of 122 years, 164 days.
​As you stand believing God for your breakthrough, begin to thank Him for the improvements and gradual progress
​Just as there was sudden drop from age 473 to age 239, so shall you make a sudden significant improvement until the full manifestation of what was spoken over your life, or whatever you are believing the Lord for according to His word comes to pass. God’s word cannot fail.

So hang in there. God is faithful!

Yes indeed, begin to thank Him for the improvements and gradual progress, but also thank Him when there is no improvement or gradual progress...for it shows we are trusting Him. Trusting God is what the Christian life is all about.

Bisi, this is an insightful post. When God speaks, His Word is sure. In due season it will come to pass.

I love this topic, Bisi. It reminded me of an old kid's saying my mom use to quote when growing up: "Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me", was a LIE! Words do hurt because words are "things". Thank you for the chart on OT saints in this post, too.

😭😭😭😭literally wanna cry. I am in love with this post right here. It truly is something that we have to get through our heads. This instant generation should not make us rush God and end up giving up in life when things don't go according to the time frame we want
