CAUSES
OF DELAY
·
Self-imposed
delay: fail to do what you are supposed to do. For instance as young person, one of your
utmost priority is to go to school and be educated. So if you decided not to go
to school, then you be delayed in the area of education whilst there was an opportunity
for you to go to school. Even though you can get an education at any age
nevertheless, you will realize that your colleagues or class mates are far
ahead of you. That is delay.
·
Circumstantial
delay: this type of delay is based on circumstances. Using the
same school example, let’s say you passed your exams with distinction but you
have no one to sponsor you to further your education. In this case there is
nothing you can do about it. Another example is having an executive meeting at
a particular time but you are stuck in traffic or your car broke down.
·
Divine
delay (God dimension): this kind of delay is orchestrated by
God himself. But the God kind of delay is always for a good reason. Example
when Joseph was thrown into prison for a crime he didn’t commit and was there in
prison for a long time. God always had another plan in mind so he allowed him
to be in prison till the appointed time when Pharaoh had a dream that no one
can interpret… that was when God released him to interpret the dream.
·
Satanic
delay: Caused by satanic activity.
