Understanding Delay ...
MY CASE IS EMERGENCY PRAYER MOVEMENT
There are 5 Types of Delay & What the Bible Says About Them π
Not all delays are demonic. Some are divine. Before you complain, pause and discern: what kind of delay are you really facing?
1. *Divine Delay (God’s Timing)*
Sometimes, God holds back the promise because He is aligning the right season and preparing you for something greater.
π _“Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Habakkuk 2:3_
*2. Demonic Delay (Spiritual Opposition)*
Your breakthrough may be under attack in the spiritual realm, just like Daniel's answered prayer was withheld for 21 days.
π _“The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days...” Daniel 10:12–13_
*3. Human-Caused Delay (Disobedience or Doubt)*
Sometimes, it's not the devil—it’s our own fear, rebellion, or unbelief that slows us down, just like Israel’s 11-day journey became 40 years.
π _“Your children shall be shepherds in the wilderness forty years… until your carcasses are consumed…” Numbers 14:33–34_
*4. Environmental/Seasonal Delay (The Timing Isn’t Ripe Yet)*
The delay may be because the environment around you isn’t ready yet. God waits until all things are aligned.
π _“He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season...” Psalm 1:3_
*5. Preparation Delay (You’re Not Ready Yet)*
God won’t release what your maturity can’t sustain. Sometimes, delay is His way of preparing you to reign.
π _“As long as he is a child, he differs nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all...” Galatians 4:1–2_
π Which kind of DELAY are you dealing with?
Join us this Sbreak the yoke of demonic delay over your life.
With our God, all things are possible!

Sports Correspondent
The Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC), under the leadership of General Secretary Rev. Wilfred Dimingo, has departed for Johannesburg, South Africa, to participate in the World Council of Churches (WCC) Pre-Central Committee Conference. Themed "Prophetic Witness for Life, Justice, and Peace," this important gathering seeks to strengthen the Church’s prophetic voice in addressing the pressing social, economic, and political issues of Southern Africa.
Drawing deep inspiration from the historic Kairos Document, the conference will serve as a platform to reignite and reframe the Church’s role in advancing justice and peace in contemporary contexts. Through reflection, worship, and action-oriented dialogue, participants aim to revitalize the Church’s commitment to transformative witness.
Centenary Celebration: A Century of Justice and Engagement
π Sunday, 15 June marks a significant milestone as the ZCC joins hands with local churches in a joint worship service to commemorate 100 years since the inaugural Life and Work conference. This momentous occasion celebrates a century of ecumenical efforts to engage society for justice, a tradition rooted in unity, faith, and action.
Deep Dive into Thematic Issues
π 16–17 June will feature four thematic seminars that delve into critical issues affecting communities across the region:
1️⃣ Ecumenical Diakonia, Climate Justice & Sustainable Development
2️⃣ Kairos, Anti-Racism & Decolonization
3️⃣ Women in the Church & Peacebuilding
4️⃣ Land, Water & Food Justice
These sessions will offer participants an opportunity to share experiences, build solidarity, and craft practical theological responses to challenges confronting African societies today.
The event brings together key partners including:
- AACC – CETA Youth
- Brot fΓΌr die Welt
- Christian Aid
- Tearfund
- Norwegian Church Aid Southern Africa
- GIZ – German International Cooperation
As the ZCC takes part in these critical #ConversationsOfHope and #ReflectionsOfHope, the gathering is expected to amplify the Church’s prophetic role and strengthen collaborative action for life, justice, and peace in the region.
