Revelation 1:8 - "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith He, which is, which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." What is time? Time is existence. Only the living can appreciate or know what time is. When death comes, time stops. Time has three phases: Past, Present and Future. But there is One who is time Himself. He is now, He was yesterday and He will be tomorrow. There is no where you find Him that He isn't. We have heard it said that no man can change the past, this Man can. He can make old things pass away like they never occurred. He is able to change records, He is the Almighty. Psalms 31:15 says "My times are in thy hands..." Whether you acknowledge Him or not, your times are in His hand. Note it says TIMES not TIME. Everything you were, are and will be is in His hands. He alone has the power to release your appointed time. Abraham probably would have died without a Isaac if He did not entertain the Man that issued the pro...

What you do and/or say before your showing forth determines the quality of your showing forth. Luke 1:8 tells us of the upbringing of John the Baptist, "The child grew and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing forth to Israel." Jesus testified later about John that he was the greatest of all born men yet this man was groomed in the desert before his appointed time. This generation needs to learn about being discreet. A woman learns she is three weeks pregnant and immediately calls her friends, this ought not be! The appointed time is a period of great hope that must not fail. There are many forces that desire to contend with man's appointed time, don't give them a head start in your life. Joseph had a dream of a destined period of appointment that would manifest years later but he couldn't close his mouth. Joseph did not need to be enslaved to be enthroned but he failed to be discreet. It is an error to start blowi...

"Faith without works is dead". Prayer without works is mere exercise. The blessings of God are pronounced upon us in fellowship with Him (in prayers) but they are manifested when we work. The harvest will rotten in the field no matter how bountiful if the farmer does not go to reap it in. We all have a major role to play if our appointed time must come as it shall. Yesterday we noted that anything we accept as the will of God will maintain its course. To produce a desirable change we must CRY OUT. We must be aware of the fact that anchoring the release of the appointed time of our breakthrough on God alone is a pointer to a sense of irresponsibility. The appointed time will not materialize unless you DO SOMETHING. Exodus 3 chronicles the conversion between God and Moses. God had heard the cry of the Isrealities and He purposed to send the man Moses. Note that every move of God on the earth is always tied to a human vessel. God will not literally come down to bring a c...

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...

A rational human being desires to do great things within the limited time given to all of us on earth. There is so much joy in accomplishment that it can make any man forget the sorrows of the past. But what happens when man's desire is delayed? Pain comes, terrible pain that sometimes is unbearable. It is not the joy of God to withhold any good from His children. No matter how much we love ourselves, God loves us more. As much as we desire good for ourselves God does so even more. It grieves the mind of God to see His children cry out under the yoke of under accomplishment. He created us for EXPLOITS not to be exploited. Jesus said in Matthew 7:9-11 " Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!…" ...
