TIME & OPPORTUNITIES

Time is an asset given by God to man. However, its illusionary static nature when considered over a short span deceives men. Time is slowly ticking away, quickly converting everyy secomd in the presentt into a thing of the past. How you relate with time will determine whether you will succed or not. in Numbers 13 and 14 God asked the children of isreal to go and possess the promised land, a great opportunity. So they sent 12 spies to check it out report back to them. Ten of them gave an evil report by stating all they saw physically and concluding that it would be impossible for them to the the land. On the other hand, Caleb and joshua gave a good report by saying that the problems in the land were no match for the God of israel. When they revolted against God and His servant Moses, God stepped in and plagued the 10 spies who brought the evil report and they died before the Lord. By the time the congregation realised their error they said they had sinned and were now prepared to go to the promised land as earlier instructed by God, but God said it was already too late. Their fate had been sealed! All who left Egypt from age 20 and above were to die in the wilderness without entering the promised land. Only the teenagers and children would make it. That is a classical case of missed of opportunity in time .
No level of tears could turn the hands of the clock backwards. One lesson here is that the time you perform any assignment for God is very crucial to Him. if God asks you to do something, He also has the time that is right for you to do it. if you choose to do it at a time other thann His time,it may not have the same desired impact or the missed opportunities might become irrecoverable or recovering such opportunities might come at high cost. Whatever God instructs you to do, be in a hurry to do it except he instructs you otherwise. Is the Spirit urging you to pray? Pray now! please suspend all you are doing and obey , if not , by the time you think you have the time to pray, it might be too late. some people are sowing their seeds too late. Some prayers are done too late. Some acts of obedience are coming rather too late. Many people are surrendering too late.Don't be a victim of opportunities lost in time! if you follow divine timing, you will never do anything too late.
