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.

Mistaken Identity

Nothing hurts more than when people take you to be something negative which you are not. If not handled properly it can dry the oil of motivation. Joseph had a DREAM but his brothers mistook him for a DREAMER. They said to one another, "...Behold, this dreamer cometh." (Genesis 37:19) Having a dream is NOT the same as being a dreamer. A dream is an appointment with destiny. A person who has a dream has an appointment that must be fulfilled. A dreamer is a person whose ideas and plans are not practical or based in reality. A dreamer is a joker. He talks about things he has no passion nor commitment to carry out. Joseph's brothers thought he was a dreamer. They were blinded by envy and driven by rage. They mistook their saviour for a serpent and tried to kill him, but God delivered Joseph out of their hands. Don't expect people to accept your dreams, They will call you a dreamer and it will hurt your feelings. They will try to bury your dreams but God will...

GOD CANNOT BE STRANDED! Make a big deal of whatever you have been called to do in the Lord's vineyard. Do the work with all your strength but don't ever be guilty of making 'yanga' before your Maker. As human beings we will be tempted to place much emphasis on ourselves as we grow in service especially when what we do is considered by many significant. We must do all to keep our focus on Him who has called us and determine to stay humble in Him. As ministers of the gospel, sometimes the work may be overwhelming but we mustn't think ourselves greater or more relevant than we ought. Elijah at some point thought he alone was God's option but God had 7,000 men waiting who could have taken his place. The question now is, if God had 7,000 then how many does He have today to replace one man who is tired? Elijah probably might have thought there could be no greater prophet than him but God had someone who was two times greater. Are you thinking that you are Go...

3 Reasons Why You Need Jesus

1. There is an afterlife. Even people that do not believe in God have an unspoken assurance within them that there is an afterlife. In the afterlife there are two destinations, good (heaven) and bad (hell). Jesus is the ONLY way to the good part. 2. There is  war in this life. Everyone is at war! War within, war without, war amongst, war everywhere. The enemy (devil) that we wrestle knows he has limited time to wreck his havoc. Our enemy is relentless and brutal, he has no respect for positions and titles, he works wickedness everyday. The only name he fears is JESUS, you need Jesus to win every war, have rest, peace and lasting victory. 3. Spiritual Fulfilment. Human beings are mere branches to the Tree (God). No matter how hard we try to satisfy ourselves with other things, there is a deep ache in our hearts if we don't have a relationship with God. Jesus is the only fulfilling link to the Father. Jesus is our spiritual lifeblood. If we are ever going shed the spi...
