Relinquish Your Right To Hurry Him



     Sometimes God shows you what He has in store for you in the very near future and when it seems not to come to pass at the time expected, there is the tendency to despair. Whilst it is true that we must be expectant and thanking Him in advance for the provision, we on our part must relinquish our right to hurry Him or help Him to plan our destinies. If you remember, the children of Israel were meant to be in Egypt’s captivity for 400years but when the years were up, God did not bring them out! For those that were counting the years amongst them may have despaired and thought God had forgotten about them. But that was not the case. God added thirty more years to the initial years because the set man was not ready. In another instance, one would have expected the Israelites because of the population and possessions, to cross the Red sea in more than a day but they crossed the sea in one night! God by His mighty hand and power did the impossible as if it were nothing. Friend, that wilderness you are faced with, God is able to bring you out in a twinkle of an eye. Don’t be deceived and carried away by the ‘fast food’ concept of God. Everything about God is timed with no margin of error. When the fullness of time earmarked by God for you comes, nothing can stop your deliverance. Unfortunately, so many teachings are based on the ‘now’ of God, such that when people don’t see their miracles they automatically believe they have done or are doing something wrong. Friend, the life of a child of God is one of waiting: “The one who keeps a command will not experience anything harmful, and a wise heart knows the right time and procedure. For every activity there is a right time and procedure, even though man’s troubles are heavy on him” (Ecclesiastes 8:5-6). 
     When your time comes, God will not delay to bring His word to pass no matter the decrees or policies in place. In the world system it is unheard of for a virgin to be pregnant, but when the time came, Mary was found to be with child! According to science, a 90 year old woman cannot be pregnant, God broke the laws and Sarah had a child. A decree that cannot be changed was passed for the annihilation of all Jews, but when the fullness of time came, no policy or decree stopped the Almighty from turning the tables against the enemies of His children: “When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream” (Psalm 126:1). Therefore, we will do well to relinquish our right to hurry God along or help Him to change His plan for our destiny so as not to make a shipwreck of our lives; but to rest in Him completely, knowing and fully convinced that what He had said concerning you will surely come to pass: “Though one goes along weeping carrying the bag of seed, he will surely come back with shouts of joy carrying his sheaves” (Psalm 126:6). Remain strong and unshaken in your faith as you wait upon our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you.

The Quarry Site Experience

Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through the...

Daily Walk With The LORD

       As we await the imminent return of the LORD Jesus Christ, we enter a time of great exposure and blessing. All that had been hidden will be revealed, all that had been a lie will be exposed, and those who can discern these things and make adjustments to their lives will be greatly blessed in this time!        As the Church Age draws to a close, we see and understand the Scriptures more clearly by the Help of the Holy Spirit, as we see Scriptures literary play out before our eyes. These are the times we must strengthen our resolve to serve Him more dearly and follow Him more closely. Failure to do this is to fall into all manner of errors orchestrated by the devil through his agents to derail as many from the path of righteousness and eternal life in Christ Jesus.         Many strange but carefully crafted teachings are flooding the pulpits and airwaves to distract, confuse and steal the hearts of children of God from...

...And His Name Was Nabal

       We live in a world that has short-term memory. The memory life span of many is so short, that mistakes and circumstances that brought them sorrow are repeated without a thought to the fact that what they are doing they had done before with dire consequences. As a result of this attitude, many have grown more wilful towards the things of God. One of the signs of the end time, according to 2 Timothy 3, is people being ungrateful. Being ungrateful means not showing gratitude for help, gifts or kindness they received; a feeling of entitlement to whatever they think they have received.         Being ungrateful is a state of mind that believes that the good things that happen to them is deserving, and they do not see any reason to be thankful for them. So was the case of a man named Nabal (which means 'Fool') in the Bible. He was a harsh and evil man in his dealings, yet a very wealthy man in the region he lived in. From the account of his l...
