Sunday Sermon: Your Appointed Time

Posted on 5:18 AM by tripalh

   


Dear friends, I am delighted to be able to reach you today, with this inspirational message, that was placed in my heart, recently. I don't know your situation, or who this message is meant for. But, I believe a 'gift' is only meaningful, when used to bring about positive transformations in people's lives.   I may not be able to reach you physically, to help resolve your problems, but, God Almighty can do it all, and he uses different mediums to resolve all difficulties, not matter how grave they may be. The good news is that, in all situations, there is 'an appointed time', and that time is God's own time.

          When I woke up today, the actualisation of my dreams, aspirations, and business ideas, were just some of the many things that came to mind. Moreover, a quiet voice spoke to me (not literally), and all I heard, was that it will all come to bear in 'the appointed time'. This I believe was the voice of God, and not of the enemy. Because, HE [God] is not a man that He should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: he hath said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Numbers 23:19).

          Suddenly, it dawned on me, how tricky and complacent we often get sometimes. Therefore, with this in mind, I said silently in my heart, 'you better not get carried away, and neither detract from the course that your creator [God Almighty] has kindly, mercifully, and wholeheartedly, carved for you. Need I say more? I dare not, and cannot begin to contemplate the consequences thereof.

          Peradventure, with all the infinite pitfalls, uncertainties, and tumultuous occurrences we have often become accustomed to in life, only if we could take a step back, and intricately assess our lives, from an objective standpoint. Then, and maybe then, you will begin to understand that, in reality, things are not just the way they are. In fact, nothing that we see in existence today, came to be or are controlled by the so called 'God particle'. However, if you subscribe to this school of thought, then you are living in the 'stone-age', and need to rethink your position. It may come as a surprise to you, that, the world has since moved on, and continue to do so.

          There are principles which governs all things in life, and these principles are not relative. In that, irrespective of race, creed, or cultural affiliation, its influence is felt. For example, when you sleep in the night, you are expected to wake up in the morning. So, now, is this a privilege only extended to the rich or people of a particular social class? Far from it. It is simply the way nature [God Almighty] had intended it to be. So, our adherence to principles is key to our survival in our present existence.


          The same applies to these three pillars of life, which are, 'wisdom, knowledge, and understand'. But, be mindful of any misconceptions, because, if God Almighty is omitted from these three pillars, they immediately lose their meaning, and potency. In the book of Proverbs 4 verse 7, the LORD stated that, "Wisdom is supreme - so acquire wisdom, and whatever you acquire, acquire understanding". In fact, the aforementioned, in its entirety, laid tremendous emphasis on the pertinence of embracing Godly wisdom, comprehension, the power of discernment, and more. So, where you are at the moment in life or what people say about your situation, is not final.
       
          You see, the scriptures righty stated in Hosea 4:6, that, "My people perish (or destroyed]), due to the absence of [Godly] knowledge (or vision)". Dear reader, there is an appointed time for everything in life. You are not where you are by choice, but, guided by Godly principles, which orchestrates our actions and position in life, whether you like it or not.

          I know that we all have aspirations, and ambitions in life. In my personal life, I often ponder on my achievements, and the herculean task of taking it into new territories. However, with my knowledge, and understanding of the power that God Almighty has engrained in me, I consider myself to be simply 'limitless'. So, in your life, and in whatever you do, always have it firmly engrossed at the back of your mind, that you may not be there yet, but, you will soon attain that dream you never thought was at all possible. Because, there is not impossibility when God Almighty is involved.

          In actual fact, those who have already written you off today, will return and embrace you for the remarkable 'U-turns' they see occurring in your life. So, my friends, be patient, embrace hard work, and be persistent, in all your endeavours.           Sooner than expected, your story will surely change for the better, and, in your appointed time, you will become a force to be reckoned with. Finally, irrespective of the magnitude of your dreams, and the monumental preclusions in your way, remember, God Almighty, is the only One with the finally say, not your friends, haters or otherwise. To confirm this, HE [God Almighty] said, that. "I know my plans for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".

          Need I say more? Guess not. In your appointed time, you will find success, and the fulfilment of the purpose that God has set for you.

****Remember, Never stop until you succeed***
