Your time is now
Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Time is the measurable period during which an action or a process exist, time is the measure of man's existence on earth and everything we do on earth is perfectly set in time.
God creates time to set in motion everything He created. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven, nothing exceeds its own time, everything comes into place at its own predestined time
The time of planting does not come in the time of harvest, the time to be born comes when it should and when it is time to die, death knocks on the door.. But in all, He hath made every thing beautiful in his time.
Out of ignorance many of us missed our time, we lose every blessings that suppose to have come to us if we had used our time judiciously, a time we should be delivered from one problem or the other, a time we should have been blessed beyond measure, but due to fear, lack of understanding of time we lose them all.
Looking at the life of Esther who became a queen from being a slave.
Her coming to stardom was not by luck, it was preprogrammed by God for a purpose, it was for the deliverance of the Jews from the hand of Haaman the wicked chief. God did His part by making her become the the queen, but the completion of the job rest on her shoulder to put on the courage and communicate to the king..
So Mordecai charged her... Esther 4:14
[14]For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
If she had not spoken up for the Jews, definitely deliverance will come from another, but her path will be wiped off from history.
The position you are today is not just by luck but for a purpose, God has placed you there to make things right, to bring peace, joy and happiness to people around you, but it is only guided by time, if you miss your time, God will raise another saviour but it is you that will lose all.
David was another who recognise God's time in his life. He never took chances of delaying God's message and purpose for his life and nation despite all obstacles from his blood brother and the fearful soldier Goliahat. Yet he moved with faith and did what needed to be done, thus, deliverance came to the whole of Israel.
1 Samuel 17:32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
If David had failed to move with faith and make use of the chances that was set before Him, there might be no deliverance for Israel and would have ushered them into the second slavery, also he may not have become King in Israel and the purpose of God for His life would have been destroyed.
What has the Lord committed into your hands and yet you delay?, what position has the Lord placed you and you seems it's by your power so you refuse to fulfil the mandate of God? The time is now to wake up from your slumber
The time is now for you to make things right by seizing the opportunity God has given you.
2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
You have prayed, you have fasted, God has heard your voice, now the salvation is placed before you through a step of faith you need to take... Don't delay for there resides your salvation.
Above all, now is the time for your salvation, now is the time for you to accept Christ as your lord and personal saviour. You have been preached to, you have been showed the way to Christ, now is the perfect time to yield to the call. Tomorrow may be too late.
Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
If you fail to do what you are suppose to do now, in other to save others and bring them joy, happiness and good living, God will raise another, but you, will be rejected and your blessings withheld.
Your time is now, do not delay.
God bless you.
