IT IS TIME-PART 3 Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. 2 Chronicles 21:19 AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT IN PROCESS OF TIME, AFTER THE END OF TWO YEARS, HIS BOWELS FELL OUT BY REASON OF HIS SICKNESS: SO HE DIED OF SORE DISEASES. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. Ecclesiastes 3:11 YET GOD HAS MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL FOR ITS OWN TIME. He has planted eternity in the human heart, BUT EVEN SO, PEOPLE CANNOT SEE THE WHOLE SCOPE OF GODS WORK FROM BEGINNING TO END Hebrews 6:11-12 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, BUT FOLLOWERS OF THEM WHO THROUGH FAITH AND PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES. James 1:3-5 KNOWING THIS, THAT THE TRYING OF YOUR FAITH WORKETH PATIENCE. BUT LET PATIENCE HAVE HER PERFECT WORK, THAT YE MAY BE PERFECT AND ENTIRE, WANTING NOTHING. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. Hebrews 10:36 For you have need of endurance, SO THAT WHEN YOU HAVE DONE THE WILL OF GOD YOU MAY RECEIVE WHAT IS PROMISED. Let me start with Daniel 2:21 as Daniel describes an attribute of God that will give you a great measure of confidence in the God you are dealing with……” HE CHANGES TIMES AND SEASONS; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.”....I want to speak to Sons and daughters of God who have received a Promise from God as I have and it seems that Time is passing and nothing is happening; because the Truth is for a man or woman who has a firm grasps of God’s purpose in their lives, most Times, it may look like you are not making progress but you are, for though it may seem progress is not being made outward, it is being made inward, for God is a very Present help in Times of trouble! We usually love quoting the word of God “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him” but seem to deliberately omit completing it as written in Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE and I will explain why this exclusive blessing is only for those who have a firm grasp of God’s purpose over their lives and why it is imperative you take the responsibility with the Holy Spirit to not only discover yours but to pursue it!...Selah. When God in Eternity, speaks His word to you, revealing His plan for you in Time, understand this clearly that what He reveals to you, has already been concluded before He revealed it to you, so what He says must surely come to pass, it is just a matter of Time! For God concludes before He begins (Isaiah 46:9-10…..remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NONE LIKE ME, DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING AND FROM ANCIENT TIMES THINGS NOT YET DONE, SAYING, ‘MY COUNSEL SHALL STAND, AND I WILL ACCOMPLISH ALL MY PURPOSE,’)…..This is the difficulty we have as believers in Christ Jesus ,we are partners with God by the choices we make based on what we know, as revealed to us by God, to bring to pass the Promises of God in our lives…The word of God says He has set Eternity in our hearts ,in other words as children of the Most High we should live with Eternity in mind , meaning we must understand that God gave us Time to fulfill His purpose on Earth and what you do with your Time will determine how your Eternity will be(I pray we catch this!)..We are in the World but we are not of the World, friendship with the World is to be at enmity with God, be not conformed to the pattern of this World but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind….….we are not called to follow the pattern of the World, the World has it’s dictates, patterns and Timings, so we look at our lives and become agitated/worried that we have not married, we have not gotten the Job, we have not bought the house or the Car, we don’t have the amount of money we desire in the bank and when we look at our age mates in terms of the flesh and see what they have accomplished we get even more depressed…Well you don’t live your life like that, if you do, you will enter satan’s trap, begin to live a life of compromise and lose your soul(Mark 8:36 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?), your Purpose from God determines your Timings and the phases of your life, God is never Late, neither is He Early, but He is always Right on Time!...So hold on to your Promise, for it is just a matter of Time, which brings me to my next point! When we have Eternity in Mind and understand that we have Time to fulfill Purpose and anything done outside Purpose is a Waste of Time, then we need to understand that God is more interested in your being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ and fulfilling His Purpose for your life ,than He is, in your having things, getting married, buying a car, building or buying a house, relocating abroad, getting a job, having an admission to the University(Take your Time and digest this, I know it is a bitter pill to swallow but it is the Truth!)…..…don’t get me wrong God wants you to prosper(make advancements) but not at the expense of your soul (3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.), if you don’t have Eternity in mind and have a firm grasp of purpose, you will acquire these things in Time and disconnect from your purpose because in the world it is said the End Justifies the Means, but God says the Means Justifies the End…whatever God gives us, is to move us closer to the fulfillment of your Purpose, as we prepare for Eternity…Selah….Let me break it down in 2 Chronicles as in several other parts of scriptures, it keeps using the phrase, ”In the Process of Time”…I pray you catch this, God uses Time to process us with our yielded-ness(Our choices) to His Spirit, to equip us for our purpose, His will for your life is to walk in Holiness and be conformed to the image of His first begotten Jesus Christ(Now you see the danger of the Prosperity message era that has made us vie off and pursue Prosperity at all cost, throwing away sanctification!)……Look at Psalm 105:18-19….whose feet they hurt with fetters; his soul was laid in iron. UNTIL THE TIME THAT HIS WORD CAME, THE SPOKEN WORD OF THE LORD PURIFIED HIM…..God will not give you anything that will destroy you, some people who testify that God gave them something are telling lies because they actually got it themselves or was given by the devil for how can you say God gave it to you when you compromised to sin to get it…..God will not release you before your Time or after your Time, He will release you Just on Time, don’t let impatience make you move Before Your Time or procrastination make you move After Your Time, be sensitive to the Holy Spirit to move Right On Time…… .If God gave you a Promise it will surely come to pass, the passing of Time is only being used by God to make you into whom He intends you to be(this is the Will of God, your being conformed into the image of Jesus Christ, for this is what counts in Eternity(read Hebrews 6:11-12, James 1:3-5 and Hebrews 10:36 above for deeper understanding), so sit back, relax and enjoy knowing God more ,as you grow from glory to glory!…Now if you are perturbed that Time is going and it is getting too late, see the very minutest part Résumé about the God you are dealing with in Daniel 2:21 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:…When you are walking in God’s purpose, it doesn’t matter, what satan throws at you, or the roadblocks he sets on your way, no matter the persecutions or apparent set-backs you receive for standing on the Truth, like Joseph in the Bible you will understand eventually as Romans 8:28 reveals” And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE”…. there is something called the overtaking/speed anointing, for it really not about arriving at the end but arriving well; So relax, don’t fret, don’t be depressed ,fear not, be joyful, give God praise, serve him diligently ,keep speaking about what God is about to do in your Life, never envy an unbeliever, get up every day with increased vigor to do it God’s way, for what God Promised you is moving right now towards you, for it is Time!
