GOD’S TIME-TABLE – Thursday June 2nd 2016


GOD’S TIME-TABLE
Memorise: Jesus Said unto her, woman what have I do with thee? Mine hour is not

yet come. John 2:4

 

Read: Ecclesiastes 3:1-11, 3 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:


2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

 

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

 

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

 

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

 

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

 

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

 

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

 

9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

 

10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

 

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end

Bible in one year: 2nd Chronicles 14:17, Ecclesiastes 1:12-18

 

MESSAG
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.
