FAITH CAPSULE: God’s time will answer without fail.
Genesis 37
Time belongs to God while the clock belongs to man.
Time of God is controllable only by God.
There is no man in the position to move God’s time forward or backward.
Any man is possible to move the clock forward or backward.
In life, there is a process in God’s time to locate any man for His assignment.
When it is God’s time, He will locate or dislocate any man as it pleases Him regardless of age or challenges that seem impossible for any man to answer to God’s calling.
When it was God’s time for calling Abraham into the divine assignment, Abraham could not refuse but answered to God’s calling. The Bible records, “…Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.” (Genesis 12:4) At the retirement age, seventy-five years was God’s time to call Abraham for his assignment to God.
Who would have thought of a journey of such magnitude for an aged man like Abraham?
The time of God’s calling does not come the same way for all.
The time of Moses’ calling by God was after his forty years in the palace of Pharaoh of Egypt. Moses had no choice to move when the time of challenging issue took charge over his life.
Under heaven, there is no time that is outside of God’s intervention.
The challenge of Moses was his accidental killing of an Egyptian that forced against one of his Hebrew brethren. Moses could not hide his doing, Pharaoh heard about Moses’ deed. The Bible records, “When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.” (Exodus 2:15) At age forty Moses’ situation forced him to run unknowingly in the direction of God’s plan for his life.
God’s time will answer without fail.
Joseph the dreamer, at his young age of seventeen unknowingly entered a time of journey of his placement to bring his dream to manifestation. Joseph did not plan to enter into the journey of his life when he went to check on his brother as directed by his father. “Then he said to him, “Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks, and bring back word to me.” So he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem. Now a certain man found him, and there he was, wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, “What are you seeking?” (Genesis 37:14-15)
The time of wandering into entering the pit, Joseph began a journey to the center of his divine assignment.
Regardless of your age or where you are, do not struggle with God’s time of visitation; God is on top of it all.
Could it be that it is the time of your journey to the center of your calling?
Prayer for today: Ask God for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in the time of your calling.
