Look at the life of Moses he was a very devoted prophet. He obeyed God in each and every step. The Bible says he heard from God and was in constant touch with God. He delivered Israelites from the bitter bondage of Egypt and led them to the land of Canaan with milk and honey. Do you know how much time it took them to reach Canaan? Forty years!! The Bible clearly says that Joshua and few others once went to spy this land and retuned after forty days. Num 13:17, “Then Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, ….” Num 13:25, “And they returned from spying out the land after forty days…” Num 13:27, ‘Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.”‘ So it was only few days of journey by foot not years. Bible says, “it was only eleven days journey.(Deu 1:2)” But what happened to them? How in the world somebody could wander for forty years, which could be reached by days. The Bible says, “the people were stiff necked and rebellious.” They were constantly murmuring and rebelling against God’s will and His servant Moses. That’s why God got pretty angry and He said this generation would not see the promised land. And the Bible says they wandered in wilderness going round and round around the mountain for forty years till the whole generation died.

Here we find many lost the promise of Promised Land and few who reached there also with much delay. If you are not hearing from God what to do and what not to do, how can you say what God has kept for you? Not only that when you will not hear the things and do not do it in right time how can you see your ministry promises getting fulfilled? Not only that but many times we hear from God and still fail to do it in time and it gets delayed and delayed.
