OBEY OR LOSE YOUR CHANCE
Memorise: While it is
said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the
provocation. Hebrews 3:15
Read; Hebrews 3:13-15, 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any
of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14 For we
are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence
stedfast unto the end;
15 While it
is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the
provocation.
MESSAGE!
Beloved, if God indicates to you His desire to use you in building His
kingdom in one capacity or another, do not hesitate, because He may just use
someone else if you do. One of my pastors and I once went through an experience
relevant to this subject. During the early days of building the Redemption Camp,
when things were very rough and tough, I practically lived at the camp, as I
tried to ensure that the little we had was efficiently utilised. On a
particular day, we were in need of a certain amount. This pastor came to me and
we exchanged pleasantries, after which he told me what he came for. I knew that
he had the money we required, so after we were done with his purpose for
coming, I told him I urgently needed an amount to solve a problem. He said
“Okay sir, I will pray about it”, and he left. This happened on a Saturday. By
Monday, he came back to say he was now ready to give me the money, but I told
him the need had been met. “Daddy, I am not leaving your office until you take
the money”, he protested, I then replied him, saying “You said you wanted to go
and pray about it. Continue with your prayer. What God wanted done has been
done.” That day, he resolved that although he had missed out on that
opportunity, he would not suffer the same fate again. He decided to stay back
at the camp and handed his business over to his wife. He has been to tremendous
assistance since then.
When you hear a call to partake in a kingdom project, do not delay
unnecessarily, or else, by the time you are ready, the work would have been
done without you. When some people make pledges towards the Holy Ghost Congress
meetings we held in December, a lot of them fail to redeem theirs. In spite of
this, the Congress still holds, and by the grace of God. We are never in
deficit at the end of any Congress. In addition, it is important to know that
the Almighty God can transfer wealth from one person to another. In 2nd Kings 7:1-11, Samaria was besieged by the Syrian army, to
the extent that some women began to eat their children. God declared that the
situation would change within 24 hours and it was so. How? He simply
transferred wealth from the Syrians to the children of Israel . If you fail to use your
God-given resources for His kingdom, you may be calling for God to transfer
them to those who will use them to glorify Him.
Key Point
Some opportunities for
outstanding life transformations cannot afford to wait until you are ready.
