God's Perfect Timing



God lives outside of time, yet He works with time. There is a time He has appointed to fulfill His plan and purpose in the life of His children. The timing of God, however, is never like ours. One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day (2 Peter 3:8). We cannot comprehend His ways. 

What is God's Perfect Timing 

The perfect timing of God is simply a time set aside by God to release the answers or perform the requests of believers. It is a time He has set aside to accomplish His promises to us. In His time, He brings our dreams to pass.

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Ecclesiastes 3:11

We find it hard to trust God's perfect timing because we are a people who want everything fast and on the spot. Sometimes we feel as if we are not on God's clock. Days, months and years will go by and our lives will still be the same. This makes us very agitated. Howbeit, we need to trust in God because His ways are not our ways, and we can never understand His doings. He knows better than we do. Only God knows the appropriate time for us to receive our petition. 

In His time, God makes everything beautiful. When God seems to tarry it is because He is up to something big for us. At times He tarries so as to teach us a great life lessons on how to wait upon Him. Everything that is valuable needs time to be worked on. Being valuable to God, He takes His time to work on us to bring us His very best. 

How to wait on His Perfect Timing 

God may tarry but at the right time He will show up. However, in other for us to be able to efficiently wait upon the Lord, we need to be patient. We need to know and understand that God watches over His word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). His word does not return to Him void (Isaiah 55:11). So we need to exercise patience as we wait upon God; knowing that it does not matter how long it takes, whatever you have been waiting upon Him to do for you will surely come to pass. 

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31

We might get weak and be weary as we wait upon God. But as we continue to patiently wait upon Him, our strength will be renewed. Waiting on God does not mean being passive/idle. It means to wait by our continual seeking of God's face without being discouraged or throwing in the towel.

Faith In Action

Image
One of the most discussed subjects in the Christian belief is the concept of faith. Faith is an interesting topic because without it no one can please God (Hebrews 11:6). It is the backbone of Christianity, and everything is built around it. Take faith out of the believer's life and he/she will become as an empty balloon, tossed to and fro, and carried away by the wind of life.  What is faith? Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the prerequisite for our walk with God. God demands it because it is through its lens that we can come to know of Him. Based on the biblical definition of faith, it is simply believing in something you cannot prove. But there are two aspects of it: intellectual assent and trust. Intellectual assent is when deep down within yourself you believe something to be true without argument. Trust on the other hand is moving beyond what you believe into actually relying on what you be

Are All Dreams From God?

Image
In one of my posts do you dream? , we saw that God is the source of our dreams. He uses dreams as a medium of communication to reveal things to us. However, not all dreams are from God. What I mean is that not all of our dreams are inspired by God. Shocking but it's the truth. And as Jesus said it's our knowledge of the truth that will set us free (John 8:32). So our knowledge and understanding of dreams will help us to properly deal with them. For  we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against  the rulers, against the authorities, against  the cosmic powers over  this present darkness, against  the spiritual forces of evil  in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 As Christians, we are in a constant battle with demonic evil forces whose ultimate goal is to see our destruction.  Can our dreams be influenced by evil spirits? Amid  thoughts from  visions of the night,   when  deep sleep falls on men, 14  dread came upon me, and trembling, which made all

Covid19: A judgement from God?

Image
In times like these, the only thing we should be spreading around is a message of hope. I'm here by the grace of God, to share with you a vision I received from the Lord on March 11th, 2020. In the vision, I saw chaos in the world. People were panicking and screaming as they ran around. All of a sudden, the sky changed and a powdered substance which consisted of different colors, spread across the globe in a rapid motion. As I kept looking, I saw two people flying in the sky towards the substance that was spreading over the globe. The faster they flew towards the substance, the faster it spread. I could hear the two screaming with a voice of HOPE that they got everything under control so everyone should stay calm and not panic. These two beings stretched out their hands and something went forth from their hand.  As soon as it mixed with the substance (with different colors) it was as though neutralization had taken place as it turned into water and hit the ground.
