Now is the Time

The God we serve is a God of Timing. Even though He is Eternal and operates within that Realm, He is the Creator of Time (Genesis 1). Therefore, when it comes to His activity in the earth, He operates within Time. That's why it is important that we heed the word of the Lord when it says to "number our days" (Psalm 90). This is an instruction towards Time Management. The scripture also tells us to redeem the time (Ephesians 5). All of these biblical exhortations are directed towards us in order that we may understand the significance of our responsibility to operate within the time for which God has graciously granted to us.

I want to say today saints that Now is the Time. We don't have tomorrow, we don't have next week, we don't have next month, and we definitely don't have next year; Now is the Time. Which means, whatever the Lord is telling you to do, Now is the Time to do it. Wherever the Lord is telling you to go, Now is the Time to go. Whatever the Lord is telling you to say, Now is the Time to say it. We live in a "culture of procrastination". We always tend to want to "put things off". "I'll take care of it later" or "I'll do it another time". No saints. For what God is getting ready to do, and it's going to be sooner than you think, there needs to be a Sense of Urgency as it relates to the things of God. We can no longer afford to be slothful. We can no longer just "go with the flow". Now is the Time.

When Jesus first started His Ministry, He told His mother in regards to his role at the wedding "mine hour is not yet come" (John 2). When the Pharisees and Saducees would try to trap Him, the scripture says, "no man laid hands on Him, because his hour was not yet come" (John 7). But when it was time for Jesus to Bear His Cross and fulfill the Divine Mission for which The Father had sent Him to the earth, Jesus said, "the hour is come that the Son of Man should be glorified" (John 12). What was He saying? Now is the Time! It hasn't been Time previously saints. There have been some things that The Father has been preparing and getting in Order. Whether we've realized it or not God has been Working. That's what He does. But just as He finished His Work in Creation and on Calvary, His Work of Preparation is about to expire.

When Jesus was entering Jerusalem, preparing for His Crucifixion, the scripture says that He wept over the city (Luke 19). Why did He do this? Because they knew not the time of their Visitation (Luke 19). Are you ready saints? Are you ready for your Divine Visitation? Are you ready for the Miracle Blessings that The Father has ordained and prepared for you? Or will they too be hidden from your eyes? (Luke 19). Don't make Jesus cry as He begins to implement and initiate His Kingdom Move in the earth. Understand that Now is the Time.
