God wants to make you into something. Something specific. Something useful. Something suited for his work in your generation. But the problem is that sometimes we tend not to stick around long enough for him to make us into what he intended. Short-term thinking, looking for quick money and immediate rewards all contribute towards missing out on God’s masterplan for your life. Many people drop out of God’s programme for their life because they feel it is taking too long. They want results, and they want it now. This is how Ismael Ventures stops Isaac Ventures from growing.
You know how God promised Abraham a son? But the promise seemed slow. Instead of waiting, Abraham had Ishmael through human effort (Genesis 16). Later, Isaac came as the child of promise (Genesis 21). Ishmael represents what you start out of impatience. Isaac represents what God builds through obedience. Many people today run “Ishmael ventures.” These are projects born from pressure, fear, or quick financial needs. They may produce something, but they are not aligned. “Isaac ventures” require patience, faith, and trust in God’s timing. One is driven by urgent needs. The other is sustained by purpose.
So, choose carefully. Do not let impatience push you into building what God did not send you. It is better to wait and build right than to rush and build wrong. You can not compare instant noodles with the effect and benefits of a properly cooked meal. Stay committed to the process God is taking you through. When the time is right, your “Isaac venture” will produce lasting results. Trust God’s timing. Focus on obedience, not speed. In the end, what God builds will stand stronger and last longer. Give Him time to shape you and your work into something meaningful.
