GOD'S TIMING

Good morning lovely people of God. Am so excited with today's message and i pray that this message blesses your life abundantly. Our passage is from Numbers 9:1-end, our memory verse is taken from Numbers 9:23 "At the command of the Lord they encamped; and at the command of the Lord they set out; they kept the charge of the Lord at the command of the Lord by Moses."
In this passage we read that on the day Moses was done setting up the tabernacle, the cloud covered the tabernacle of the tent of the testimony. This cloud is over the tabernacle in the day and in the evening its like the appearance of fire till morning, whenever the cloud is taken up from over the tent the people set out while when the cloud settle down on the tent in any place, there the people of Israel encamped. Interestingly if it takes a month before the cloud is taken up from the tent the people will remain encamped for the whole month until the cloud is taken up before they can set out.
The cloud as we can see became a sign for the people in knowing when to move and when and where to settle down, timing! The Bible in Ecclesiastes 3:11a says " He has made everything beautiful in its time." Time is defined to be the period at which any definite event occurred. In our lives, at different points we have set time for certain events, as a kid there is a set time for school, there is a set time to start earning a living, there is a set time to be married and have kids. These times are regulated by the society and when we find ourselves running behind time in meeting up with societal expectations we feel like we have failed, we most time get desperate and sometimes ashamed that we begin to hide from our peers. Today, i bring you good news and that is; that the accurate time keeper is God and His time is the best time. You may say that sometimes God comes late, but i tell you today that;

  1. God does not come late, His time is the best time.
  2. God's ways are not like man's ways that is why a day for the Lord could mean a thousand years for man while a thousand years for man is only a day for God.
  3. God is a God of season until its your season it is not yet your time.
  4. God comes late when He wants to come big.
  5. Time is not of essence when God is the driver of your life.
When God is the driver of your life what matters is His will, in doing His will He perfects everything that concerns you at His own time which is always the right time. Today, i ask you; have you aligned yourself with the will of God? Remember the Bible says 'it is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth but of God that showeth mercy', you may be the best there is in your profession but when you don't align yourself with the will of God you can never meet those deadlines. Today is another opportunity to align yourself with the will of God. In aligning yourself with the will of God, you begin to understand the time and season and also know what to do in every season. Just like we put on heavy clothes during winter because we understand the season and its effect so also when we know the Lord's season we will pray the right prayers, have the right attitude and go to the right places.
Till i come your way again remain blessed.
