Time

28 Mar 2012

God showed me in a vision a big clock and the word in capital letters “TIME” so like my other blog posts that have been directed and inspired by God. I know this is the way forward.

Times is in the form of date, hours, minutes, seconds, days, months and even a life. A life is our God given time on Earth. You have heard the saying which goes as time waits for no man. It is true, we cannot relive a moment we love so much because all we have left are just memories. We cannot freeze time like superheroes in cartoons or build a time machine and go back in time to make adjustments and alter your mistakes.

The Greek word for time is Kairos which means God appointed time. Chronos means the time of the World. We are governed by God time which is Kairos but our physical lives are often tending to be involved with Chronos. One must acknowledge the Chronos may seem bleak but when it’s your God appointed time, you’re Kairos. Nothing can stop you.

Importance of time

To a student at university/School who failed a grade or module n has to repeat a year. Ask them how valuable a year is to them.

To a Mother who has given birth to a premature child. Ask her how valuable a month or two was to her and her family

To a family who needs money to buy food and has to wait a week for pay day. Ask them how valuable a week is to them.

To a couple who are getting married. Ask them the value of a day to them. The day they marry the love of their lives.

To a man whose lives in South Africa and his family live in India? Who finds out father has an incurable disease and only had a few hours left to live. Ask that very same man how important an hour is to him.

To a worker who has a strict Boss at work and misses the bus by a few minutes. Ask her how important it was for her to be just a few minutes early.

To a soccer team who has the last few seconds to score a goal that will tie the game. Ask any one of them how important a few seconds is to them.

Jesus is never too early, never too late but just on time. In our midnight hour he is there to help us by giving us such comfort, great Joy and breakthrough.

One of my all-time favourite scriptures is Ecclesiastics chapter 3 v 1-8.

Brief summary of this chapter:

there is a season, an appointed time and a purpose under God throneroom(the heavens). even as the book of Isaiah speaks of Gods ways and thoughts being higher than ours, evn as the heavens are higher than the Earthn so are Gods ways and God thoughts. we may never understand it because of our flesh

When you are waiting for the time God brings you opportunity of your heart’s desire. Some TIMES doors close, some TIMES doors open, Some TIMES double doors open.

I wrote: another lesson I have learnt is God will shut one door and open another door or many other doors according to the opportunity size and width of that door. We live our lives bearing in mind that God can give and take when he feels he should according to his perfect will BUT also being thankful for being the appointed one for a particular door.
