In our lives, we receive many promises from God, which take us to the next level of our lives after fulfilment. The perspective of God, while promising something to us, is something different than what we understand. He is a righteous and just God. When he promises something, he’ll align us with godliness before fulfilling it. His promise includes a process called fulfilment.

Example
If you see the Book of Exodus, which is a redemption from Egyptian slavery and reaching the promised land (Canaan), here God says, Exodus 6:5. And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant. So, God released an act of redemption through Moses, but on the other hand, he himself hardened the heart of Pharaoh.

But why does God harden the heart of Pharaoh while redeeming the Israelites?

1) To punish the sinful Egyptians Exodus 9:34, he sinned again. He and his officials hardened their hearts.
2) To glorify his name Exodus 10:1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials so that I may perform these signs of mine among them.” 2 that you may tell your children and grandchildren how I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and how I performed my signs among them, and that you may know that I am the Lord.
3) To show His power to the earth Exodus 9:16 But I have raised you up for this very purpose: that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.

When Moses performed miracles in the midst of the Israelites, they believed God and his servant Moses (Exodus 4:29), but God foreknew that he needed to strengthen the faith of his people before leaving Egypt, and only then could they sustain their entire journey in total dependence on him. That’s why God performed many signs, wonders, and miracles throughout the journey to the promised land. So he hardened the hearts of the Egyptians to sort out all issues for the safe arrival of the Israelites.

Likewise, we have received promises from the Lord, but in reality, we see and face huge oppression and rejection from people around us on that promised journey. At this point, we have to understand the process of fulfilling the promise. In the journey of fulfilling a promise, God teaches us many things that are required to handle the fulfilment of the promise, and he teaches us how to wait on the Lord and have a total dependency on his timing.
Waiting time is not a waste of time.
Waiting time is learning time.
Waiting time is making time.

We often pray, God, make me your beloved; transform me; renew my mind; humble me; etc. In fact, we can’t spend eternity with God without these attributes. So, we pray, and God loves to give it to us, but these are not mere words to give because all these are experiences one must undergo to achieve them.
Example
If you want to be a humble person, then you must undergo situations of rejection and despise. Only then will you learn how to be humble in odd situations.
(In good times and situations, all are humble.)

Likewise, to receive fulfilment in your life according to the promise you received from the Lord, you’ve got to undergo some odd situations that will train up your muscles.

Before entering the boxing ring to face an enemy, one must train up his muscles. Training muscles is a painful process.

The odd situations we face in the journey of fulfilment are the elements that make us perfect to celebrate the given promise.
The Bible says,
Proverbs 17:3 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the heart.
1 Peter 1:7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Only through this process we fulfil our promise. According to God, whatever the promise, the only process and eligibility to receive fulfilment are as mentioned above. Learn and apply, then only achieve fulfilment. 2 Peter 1:5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

There is a strong verse in the Bible about transformation and renewing the mind is Ezekiel 36:26. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
God is not asking you to do it yourself; instead, he is saying he will give you a new spirit and a new heart. But this is only possible if you allow the Holy Spirit to take total control of your life and if you yield yourself to the Holy Spirit.
That’s what the Israelites did; initially they were reluctant to obey Moses, but after a while they allowed themselves to follow the leading of God through Moses, which we can see at the time of the Passover event.

Sometimes God promises something, and things and people around you act exactly oppositely to the fulfilment of that promise. This may raise doubt about God’s promise, which leads to discouragement, but now you’ve got to understand how God works through you to fulfil his promise in your life. These are to make you receive fulfilment but not to fail you. So, don’t run out of situations because you might miss the process that leads you astray from God’s plan. God uses situations to teach you.

God’s plan never operates according to human emotions.

Having lovable people and situations around you doesn’t mean you’re in God’s plan 
Or 
Having hateful situations around you doesn’t mean you’re out of God’s plan.
