“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” Ecclestiastes 9:11
Everything in this world is a function of two
factors, the time and the word (information, revelation). I want to talk about
time this morning. Anything you fail to do at the right time, you will have to
do at another time. But it will not be as easy. If you refuse to go to school
or learn a skill at the expected time, you will have to do it later but it will
come with extra challenges. Imagine a man going to school after marriage, his
challenges will be different from a young man who is in the same school and
unmarried. Procrastination and laziness are robbers of time. When you are
procrastinating, it feels sweet but it increases the severeness of future
challenges.
Apart from this, favor is determined by time.
Reward and harvest are determined by time. Things that are easy within their
times are difficult outside their times. God operates on earth by time and in
time. You must know what to do per time and do it if you want to build your
house on the rock.
“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest,
and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”
Genesis 8:22
“And of the children of Issachar, which were men
that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads
of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.” 1
Chronicles 12:32
May you have an understanding of time. May you
always do the right thing at the right time, and be at the right place at the
right time in Jesus name.
Prayer for
today: Oh God, help me to build my life according to time in Jesus name.
