God is a
God of time and purpose. There is no lateness with God and in His own time, He
does as He pleases and makes everything beautiful. There are many things you
will never access from God until you have an understanding of the principles of
timing. To have testimonies that will stand the test of time, you must learn to
wait upon God in patience and perfect obedience. Unfortunately, many people are
not willing to wait for God. In their own wisdom, they believe God’s time comes
too late, so they go about ‘quickening’ things up. We live in a world where
people want to be announced before their set time. They want quick fame and
glory. They get carried away with the glories of others without asking about
their stories. When things do not work out at the time they want, they begin to
cut corners, unfortunately, every time they cut corners, they short-change
themselves.
One of my
sons said that “proper preparation prevents poor performance”. This is true
because God will only reward those who wait and prepare for his appointed time.
It doesn’t matter how fast others are travelling, just ensure you are in the
will of God and all those you think have gone ahead of you will soon ask for
the secret of your stability. There is the need to contentedly believe that God
has everything under His control. In life, God has established seasons by which
we will experience different phases. In the plan and timetable of God, there is
a season to rejoice over things that are good and there is a time to identify
with those who are experiencing joy. Never allow your own times of doing things
be set at variance with God’s time.
The truth
remains that no matter how far you think you can strategize, you can never have
anything better than what God has in store for you. There are many people who
are presently looking in the wrong direction, when God brings their blessings,
they will miss the opportunity. Elisha never allowed the voice of the 50 sons
of the prophet to distract him from God’s timing and purpose. There were
several distractions and discouragements but he stayed to the end and got a
double portion of his master’s anointing.
Are you
tired of waiting upon the Lord? Don’t be. Every moment you spend waiting
faithfully on the Lord can never be wasted. As you wait upon the Lord, you are
saving time and not wasting it, you can be sure that at the end, nothing will
be lost.
Prayer Point: Father, help me not to miss my time and chance.
Bible in one year: 2nd Chronicles 14:17, Ecclesiastes 1:12-18
