APPOINTED TIME: A Cry for Help

The appointed time is synonymous with answers, joy and testimony. When the appointed time comes nothing else matters, all that you see and experience is the release of joy and pride of victory.

Yesterday we noted that God never delays. Our God is not the architect of delay. He doesn't want any of His children to groan in pain of unanswered prayers. BUT THERE IS AN APPOINTED TIME...

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" God is meticulous in His dealings He has made provision for seedtime and harvest, and these shall not fail (Genesis 8:22).

HOW DO YOU RECOGNIZE THE APPOINTED TIME?

The appointed time (the day of harvest) is ALWAYS HERALDED by a desperate cry for help.

When a person realizes that his time ought to have come and it hasn't then it is time to act. A woman carries a baby patiently for 9 months but by the 12th month (if the baby has not been born) it becomes clear that something needs to be done.

When you know your time should have come and it hasn't, IT IS TIME TO CRY OUT!

A cry is a desperate appeal to the Divine to act speedly to intervene the course of one's life.

At the appointed time God hears. The Israelites in Egypt lived in hardship under Pharoah and his men, even their children were being killed. But God didn't nothing until they cried out.

Exodus 2:24 tells us "... God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob."

Anything you accept as the will of God maintains the same course. Until you CRY OUT for your appointed time it might remain in the future.

A cry is not a casual nor routine prayer. It is a PURPOSED DEMAND on heaven to hear and cause a change.

When you raise a sincere cry to heaven He makes a direct call to your spirit to supply you the key to your appointed time.

You need to cry out to claim your answer.

Action Point:

Locate a place that your spirit agrees with and set out time to rend your heart before God. You need to CRY OUT to draw His remembrance.

HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU COUNT MONEY?

Recently, I had to make a lot of cash lodgments at the bank, and I proceeded to arrange and count the notes. I counted the various currency notes like three times and sorted them accordingly. When I got to the bank, the teller went to work, and I wasn’t surprised that the count was perfectly correct. The confidence was because I had double-checked the notes; the margin for error was very slim. In our Christian walk, we mustn’t be overly bold about our right standing in Christ if we haven’t examined ourselves again and again. 2 Cor. 13:5b says, “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves…” Test yourself! Are you standing, or are you just thinking that you are standing? When I counted the money the first time, I could have stopped, but I needed the certainty. I know that I am born again, but I need to examine my heart: is there something hidden there that shouldn’t be there? Once, I was speaking to a group of people, and the manner of my speech wasn’t in confo...

IF WE MUST BOAST

If we must boast, let us boast of the mercies of the LORD. Two students attend lectures and put in the same level of preparation; one scores an “A” and the other a “C”. Many explanations can be available, but when we hold all other things constant, mercy is the difference between men. I have written an exam before where I prepared diligently but got into the exam hall and misinterpreted the questions, writing the exact opposite of what was expected. After the exam, I had only one prayer: God, have mercy! In Acts 13, Paul and some other prophets separated themselves to fast and pray. Mercy spoke, and Paul and Barnabas were called into a special assignment. Were they better or more diligent than the others who were not called into that particular assignment? I don’t think so. Apostle Paul later told us that everything he did was a result of the grace of God. God’s mercy and grace are what enable us to achieve any kind of result in life. Let’s be careful how we think. Let’s be careful how...

Sink the Ego, Say the Sorry

Have you wronged someone and are fighting within you to say that you are sorry? Have you bruised someone? Or have you done nothing wrong and someone is annoyed with you? Just say sorry. The Bible says "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed..." - James 5:16. Our words carry healing virtue we should use it right. Is it possible not to bite your tongue? It is usually a kind of reflex, beyond control. That's the reality of human relations, no matter how careful we are, sometimes we step on one another's toes. When this happens our reaction shows the quality of our character. Saying that you are sorry goes a long way in sustaining healthy relationships. In fact it carries an anointing to resolve conflicts quick. Is it easy to say sorry? This depends on a number of things, a sincere apology is obviously more difficult to render than one which is not. Saying sorry particularly when you are convinced you are right is als...
