​Revelation of the Word

THEME: DELAY

Daniel 10:12-13 
Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.
INSIGHT 

-Daniel fasted & prayed persistently to God & an angel went forth to deliver his message. Unfortunately, he was caught up in the heavens by the prince of Persia causing a delay of 21 days before Archangel Michael intervened. We note in Dan 10:20-21 that there are other princes of darkness like the prince of Greece but Gods servant; Archangel Michael is stronger than them all. To note also, God created all things including principalities (Col 1:16), & at one point in the last days He will lock them up as prisoners in the pit (Isa 24:21-22). Principalities can therefore delay our prayers causing a stagnation in a section of our lives. Jesus calls us to pray without ceasing with the assurance of complete protection. He gives charge to His angles who gather up around us to keep us in all our ways (Psa 91:11). He has also given us authority to trample over all powers of the enemy & assures us that nothing can stop us. He gives a disclaimer though against rejoicing in this notion but proposes delight in the fact that our names are written in heaven (Luke 10:19-20).
PRAYER 

Oh Lord incline Your ear to our petitions & deliver us from all evil. No evil plan fashioned against us, against our families, against our friends, against our nation shall prosper in Your name Jesus. We implore You with humility in our hearts; do not delay, come to our aid we call on You. Be with us & guide us in all things. All glory & honour belongs to You. Amen
Blessed Wednesday
