What you see as delay is God building you, not the devil blocking you - as a Christian. It's common for people today to attribute their delay or their disappointment to the work of the devil - ‘The devil has blocked me. The devil is behind this. The devil has stopped me from fulfilling my destiny.’ Whereas rather than the devil blocking you, it is actually God building you, preparing you, equipping you. But if you are so focused thinking about what is the cause of this blockage, you may miss the process of building. Why must God build us? Why must God equip us? Because blessings are accompanied by battles. Anointing attracts attack. God's favour draws man's envy. That's why we must be equipped. The problem today is when, out of impatience or man's ambition, we take actions to jump ahead of God's time or try to skip ahead of God's process. But in your skipping, you miss equipping. If you have skipped the building, then you are not equipped for the battle. What many of us are passing through today is the process of God building us. You can say that to your neighbour right now or speak it out if you are alone. ‘I am being built, not blocked. I am being strengthened, not stopped. My delay is not denial.
