TITLE: THE GOD OF TIME
SCRIPTURAL READING
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding (Daniel 2:21).
The Vessel: Pastor Austine Onohwosa.
God is the God of time, but He does not work with the time of man.
He is a God of His timing for every man. That is why we will not get a thing base on our own timing.
That's why we experience delay in some of our expectations.
And when it is time for God to give us that thing, we might not even pray, and that thing will come.
Because God is a God of His own time.
When I got married, I and my wife concluded that till after six month we will start having children.
We say we want to enjoy ourselves for the next six months.
When we said it, God sanctioned it, and after six months, my wife got pregnant unknowing to us.
It was when she got pregnant that we counted, and we discovered that it was actually after the six months that we say, we want to enjoy ourselves.
Brethren God keeps to His timing.
And He will always do everything to bring His timing to pass. He said,
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD (Isaiah 55:8).
Prayer Point:
Father every of my blessings that the devil has delayed, bless bring them to me today in Jesus name.
God's thought is not our thought, likewise His ways, our ways.
That is why His timing will always be different from our timing.
When Jacob got married to Rachel, by Rachel's calculation, she thought she will begin to have children;
but that calculation does not go in line with God's calculation, because the Bible says,
And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren (Genesis 29:31).
Remember it was not Rachel that made herself barren.
But when the time came for God to open the barren womb, the Bible says,
And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb (Genesis 30:22).
The God of time remembered her, and her womb was opened, and she conceived, and she bear a child.
God did that according to His timing, and not according to how Rachel want it.
That is what makes Him the God of time.
Whatever God does is according to His timing for man.
He told Abram,
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years (Genesis 15:13).
Prayer Point;
Father please remember me today, and release every of my blessing hanging somewhere in Jesus name.
For God to bring His time to pass in your life, you must know the plan of God for your life.
And you must make sure that you are doing the right thing at the right time.
You must be at the right place at the right time, and be prepared for His timing for you.
The Israelites knows the timing of God for them, when they were in Egypt.
But they were not prepared for it.
It was when God raised a new king that knew not Joseph, and the king began to deal with them that they realized the plan of God for them.
You must know the plan of God for you, because that is what will hasten His timing for us.
Prayer Point:
Father please help me to know Your plan for me, and give me understanding of Your timing for me.
WORDS TO MEDITATE ON.
The timing of God will not come to pass if we don't know the plan of God for us; because His timing goes with His plan.
