VERY SOON, IT WILL ALL MAKE SENSE!

I just was wondering, Rolls Royce and Toyota automobiles are both cars. It takes 6months of hard work to build a Rolls Royce, but just 13hours to build Toyota Cars.

Elephants and Rats are both mammals.  Elephant's gestation period is 22months; they carry their young in the womb for nearly two years before giving birth. And they give birth to only one calf at five year intervals. Can you beat that? But wait,  have you seen a baby elephant? it's worth the 22months and even more... On the other hand, a rat's gestation period is just 21days, at most 23 days and it births up to 14 pinkies or even more... A rat becomes sexually mature and active from  its fifth week of existence but an elephant becomes sexually mature between 8-10 years but will not start mating until its 20th birthday. Isn't that amazing?

Corn and cocoa beans are both seeds to the farmer. If planted the same day, it takes different days for each to sprout. Once sprouted, harvest is imminent  for the corn. The lifecycle of the corn is less than five months from  germination to the time seeds are harvested for grain. On the other hand, it takes three years for a cocoa plant to grow to its full maturity. That is three generations of the corn. It takes five to six months for a cocoa pod to ripen after pollination, that's like a life span of an entire maize farm.

Beloved,  you haven't gotten answers to that prayer yet because God is preparing something grand for you. If I were you, I'll hold-on and hold fast on God and His promises. One thing I know is that He can never lie. He surely will come through for you. When waiting ON-HIM no longer made sense, learn then to wait IN-HIM. It is a place of maturity in Christ. It is a place of higher calling. Remember;  "Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail. and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation." Habakkuk 3:17&18 KJV

The way may be rough right now, the vision blurred and bleak. You may  be having that piercing pain in your chest as you are reading this post. Your case might be serious health condition that the doctors have said is incurable but can be managed. If God can raise a man from the dead after four days, you aren't dead yet! You haven't gotten that job yet because He's preparing something grand for you. Your wedding plans crashed because God doesn't want you a widow/widower at a very young age. Have you paused to see things from this angle? He may have been four days late, believe me, He was still on time.

We are encouraged to wait on God, for when He comes through, it will be worth the wait. But while we wait, it is advisable that we do not fold our hands. We must learnt to redeem the time. Self development and empowerment is important. If you're believing God for a job for example, as an unemployed youth, enroll for trainings that you can afford that could give you better standing when opportunities present themselves.

Developing a back-up plan or what some people call plan 'B'; just in case God does not come through or incase it takes Him too much time. This  must not be part of the deal in waiting on GOD, for once this is done, God loses interest in our petition. We tend to discourage God anytime we develop a back-up plan.

Heroes and super achievers are those who make the best out of their peculiar situations and circumstances. Remember, winners never quit and quitters never win. Soon, very soon, it will all make sense.
