THE FULLNESS OF TIME
Memorise: To everything there
is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven; Ecclesiastes 3:1
Read: Acts 2:1-4, Bible in
one year: Acts 4:5; Ecclesiastes 12:9-14
When the day of Pentecost was
fully come, the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples of Jesus Christ. This event
makes it clear that our God is a God of times and seasons (Daniel 2:20-21). If
you look at the life of Elizabeth – the mother
of John the Baptist, you may be wondering: why the delay of the fruit of the
womb in the life of such a devoted daughter of Zion? The answer is found in the later event
of the birth of John the Baptist, who Jesus Christ acknowledged as the greatest
of all the prophets (Matthew 11:11). He was born by same woman that was
considered barren for many decades. When the fullness of time came, Elizabeth conceived and
gave birth to the forerunner of the Messiah (Luke 1:11-16). The Almighty God
moves very fast whenever He wants to do something. When it seems God is slow in
taking action, you can be sure that it is because His time has not fully come.
God is not a slow worker at all. This is established from the creation story
where in six days, God accomplished the creation of the entire universe
(Genesis 1). There is a time in a man’s life when delay is not good option. In 1st
Samuel 17:51, we read of the fast move of God in David’s life. It would have
been another story in David had delayed in separating the head of Goliath from
his body after the stone from his sling had dazed Goliath to the ground. The
Bible says:
“Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine,
and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and
cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was
dead, they flew.”
One characteristic of the
fullness of God’s time is its sudden arrival. The Bible says:
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they
were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from
heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were
sitting.” Acts 2:1-2
It took God just one day to
kick away famine from Samaria
according to 2nd Kings 7:1-18. Suddenly, food became surplus in the
land after God moved into the situation of a people who had started killing
their children for food. For someone using their devotional, you will receive
sudden breakthroughs this season in Jesus’ Name. Your day of celebration shall
fully come this season in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point
Father, please let my miracle
come suddenly in a way that the enemy will not be able to do anything about it.
