When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. (Exodus:13:17&18)
This is true in most of our lives. The Lord had to be patient with us and take us through the longer route instead of the shorter route because we aren't prepared to face the challenges that lay await in the shorter route. The irony is we always blame the Lord for the delay or the longer route we had to take when in reality it is because of us. Any breakthrough that is getting delayed or taking longer than expected is not because the Lord purposefully wants to but He is waiting for us to get prepared for the challenges that we had to face after the breakthrough.
Mostly, the preparation is not external but it is internal - in our minds. We don't see any breakthrough yet in areas of health, finances etc. even though the Lord had blessed us with these already according to Ephesians:1:3 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ". We don't see it manifesting in our lives as it should because our mind isn't trained to accept this truth as a fact. Our mind is still attached to the fallen world of diseases, sickness, poverty etc. that we accept these things as though there is no other option.
Let's train our minds to the truth of the Scriptures and move to a position where we will see who we really are in Jesus Christ. When this truth dawns upon us, we will be walking through the doors of blessing and breakthroughs will come thick and fast because our minds are now prepared to face life after the breakthrough.
Blessings!
