On Time

Sometimes in life we find ourselves in a place that's between a rock and a hard place. That place can be defined as a place where on a miracle can turn things around. In such moments I have come to discover that only a divine encounter can turn around the situation. There are many things that can be said about such circumstances but I want to focus on one thing today and that is the fact that God is always on time. He is never late. 

Look at Mary and Martha in John 11 who sent for Jesus as their brother and Jesus' friend Lazarus was sick. The limitation they had placed that the only time a miracle could be worked was while Lazarus was ill was destroyed when Jesus appeared 4 days after Lazarus had died and apparently out of time for a miracle He gave them one. God is never late even if the situation or person is dead.

Remember Abraham and Sarah, they were without a child and it never seemed like they would ever have a child. But they held onto the promise of God and at 90 years of age Sarah gave birth to Isaac. Her dream to hold a child of her own may have become a mirage as years passed but thanks be to God who indeed filled her mouth with laughter. In spite of the delay in seeing her desire as per human timing she still held her son as promised by God. To be delayed is not to be denied.

I don't know where you are in life, whether you in the valley or at the mountain top either way you will need to have it settled that God will be on time. God has never been late; ask Joseph who thought he was forgotten in jail but moved from prison to palace. See Gideon, who considered himself the least of the least but discovered that he was on God's agenda for leadership and spearheaded a turn around for his people. The bible is filled with examples of God being on time. Settle it in your heart and mind that even though the circumstances may rage God is still going to be on time. Expect God to move on your behalf as He surely will.

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...

Work & Prayer; Prayer & Work.

Day 135 Reading: Nehemiah 1:1 - Nehemiah 4:23 One of the things I am learning is that God is not interested in my being so heavenly minded that I am not of any use here on earth. God placed man in the Garden of Eden here on earth, not heaven. We are created to be creators here on earth. God made us for work. If God made the earth how much more should we also work if we are His children? We have a responsibility to work and at the same time be vessels that bring honour to God's Kingdom. Today we begin the book of Nehemiah. This gentleman was not a king but the cupbearer for the King and he did mighty things for God.  Nehemiah was burdened with the state of Jerusalem. We are told of how he enquired to know the state of the returnees from exile and was perplexed at the sad state they found Jerusalem. He was saddened to hear that the Jerusalem, the focal point of the children of Israel, was desolate. He took it to prayer that God would restore Jerusalem. We meet Nehemiah p...

The Priestly Blessing

Day 40 Reading: Num. 5:1- Num. 6:27 Do whatever God instructs. That is obedience. Remove whatever is displeasing to God from your life. Whatever or whoever is causing discharge from your life that contaminates your faith should be far from you and I. I do realise that in today's dispensation some will say that they have nothing to do to walk with God, however, God won't come and move your feet away from a place sin. You go runnings and that is an instruction from your brain to your feet in obedience to the Word of God to walk in purity. I found it interesting that after Moses tells the children of Isreal to remove every leper from the camp God then speaks on restitution. The law was not just about worshipping God but also about relating right. God desires that we not only are in right standing with Him but also with others. I realised that first God began by clearing whoever may bring defilement to the camp before not dealing with relationships. Restitution is a fo...
