FOCAL SCRIPTURE
JOHN 15:24
If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. Vs 24
If you are doing anything for God, you must be in a hurry, because if you are too slow, your sacrifice, obedience or gift might become irrelevant or unacceptable in His sight.
Ecclesiastes 9:10 says,
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might: for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave whither thou goest.
Work when you can because a day is coming when you will be unable to perform the same work here on earth.
In the book of Matthew 9:14-15
Jesus gave a profound illustration in which He said, there was no need for the children of the Bridegroom to fast while the Bridegroom was with them, but that when the Bridegroom leaves, they will be required to fast.
It takes an understanding of the value of the times you are in to exploit this. The Lord's statement clearly speaks of two scenarios:
- A time in which He is physically presence
Because of his physical presence, the Lord supported the disciples with his own faith. Anytime they had to exercise there faith and failed, He was there to help them out and make them learn from it. While He was present, they could ask almost anything they wanted. In fact, He pointed out that they had not even utilised the opportunity they had to ask in His name.
- Without His physical presence
A time where they had to live by their own faith. Under this period, situations would resist them to a point where they may have to fast frequently.
Given the same opportunity, at what period would you make your requests? Is it when the Lord is physically present or when He is not? Would it be when grace is present or when it is not?
If you have an understanding of time, you will know when to ask what.
Maximise God's presence that you have access to.
SUPPORT MY STEEM PROJECT
@BlessTheOrphan project is targeted towards children and teenagers who have lost either or both parents and are going through difficult times to survive. The affected will receive relieve materials including food, clothing and educational support from @BlessTheOrphan project in a bid to help them survive.
Moreover, the vulnerable girl-child (even with both parents) will be considered in this project. While I grew up, I had been hurt because I had no one to talk to nor be concerned with my worries. I know the pains such girls go through and @BlessTheOrphan project will be a coverage for them. In this part of the world, some girls are so neglected that some rarely have access to the basic woman’s need such as sanitary wares. #BlessTheOrphan project will be a coverage to such.
