Accepted time 11
Memorise: Go ye up unto this feast: I go
not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. John 7:8
God is never too early, and He is never too late. His
time table is set on purpose is not only for your sake but also for His. In all
things, His name shall be glorified. No doubt, He would have been glorified
healing Lazarus of his sickness, but this cannot compare to raising him from
the dead after four days. God works according to His own time-table. His
timetable is the perfect one and not yours. Your case will soon become a
testimony that will bring you great joy and celebration; your testimony that
will also bring great glory to God, in Jesus’ Name. keep resting in Jesus, keep
trusting in Him, and don’t shift your focus from Him. You are on the verge of
God turning the table in your favour and turning it against your enemies.
The attribute of God’s nature such as omnipotence,
omnipresence and omniscience are demonstrated in the way His timetable works.
His love moves Him to seek the good of His people and to desire their peace,
joy, fulfilment, health etc. By His omnipresence and omniscience, He see and
knows all that is going on, even to the smallest detail. Through His omnipotence,
He has the ability to effect the required and desirable change – for example,
He can make a ninety year old woman conceive a child, as was the case with
Sarah. He can bring back to life a decaying corpse, as was the case of Lazarus,
the brother of Martha and Mary (John 11:39-44). He can also make a woman to
have natural birth after three previous births by caesarean section, as He did
for my wife. God, by His omnipotence is even able to bring back lost
opportunities, such as in the life of Abraham, who in spite of working out his
own plan to fulfil God’s purpose for his life, still received the true seed of
promise, through his action and expectation should have aborted God’s original
plan for his life (Genesis 17:16-19).
What more can we hope for? When God is at work, the
impossible becomes possible, the irreversible becomes reversed, and the
hopeless becomes hopeful. He can rewrite history with your life. For someone
using this devotional now, your accepted time is now. Your story is changing
from a shameful or reproachful one to an enviable one. You will forget quickly
the pain and sorrow of your past by the change of events which will occur soon
in Jesus Name.
Action point
Extol God for all His attributes: love,
power, faithfulness and others. Tell Him you love and will serve Him you love
and will serve Him with all your heart. Then tell Him what you want Him to do
for you.
