YOUR TIMES ARE IN GOD'S HANDS

Memorise:
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that understanding: know .. Daniel 2:21

Psalm 31:14-21

Message

Years ago, there was a lady who had been trusting God for a partner for many years until she reached menopause. During a crusade, I said that everyone should ask God for whatever they wanted, and the lady turned to God and said, "Lord, I am not going to bother you about a husband anymore. There is no point, as I can no longer have a child. I will serve you all the same anyway. "The Almighty God heard her, and not long after that, a man came to her and said, "Thus saith the Lord, you are to be my wife." Surprised, she asked him to go and pray again to be sure that he had heard from God. However, the man insisted that he had prayed and heard from God. Then she asked him, "Don't you want children? Because I can't have children at my age." The man replied, "That is not a problem because I already have children. I lost my wife, and all I need now is a companion and a mother for my children." They got married, and the woman who thought that she could no longer have children gave birth to a set of twins nine months later. God is not limited by time at all; He can speed up time or reverse it as He pleases.

God holds times and seasons in His hands, and He can change them however He pleases (Daniel 2:21). If men say it is over for you, ignore them. God is the only One who has the final say in your life; He is Alpha and Omega(Revelation 1:8). When men said it was over for Abraham and Sarah, God reversed the time and caused them to laugh (Genesis 21:6-7). Even when Lazarus' sisters thought that he was dead and gone, Jesus came and announced, "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25).

When God visits a fellow, He restores any wasted years that might exist in his or her life. As long as you are alive and God is your Father, your time is not gone. Your times are in God's hands, and if He hasn't said it is over, who are you to say that your time has passed? Confess God's word and not your present reality. Only God has the right to close your case, and since you are still alive, it means that He hasn't closed it, and He still has a lot in store for you.

Bible In One Year:
Isaiah 29-31

Hymn:
Pass Me Not, o Gentle Saviour

Key Point:
As long as you are still alive,God can control times and seasons to favour you.

King James Version

Psalm 31:14-21

But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God. [15] My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. [16] Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake. [17] Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. [18] Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. [19] Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! [20] Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. [21] Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
RCCG Hymn

Pass me not, O gentle Saviour

  1. Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
    Hear my humble cry;
    While on others Thou art calling,
    Do not pass me by.

  2. Saviour, Saviour,
    Hear my humble cry;
    While on others Thou art calling.
    Do not pass me by.


  3. Let me, at Thy throne of mercy
    Find a sweet relief;
    Kneeling there in deep contrition,
    Help my unbelief
  4. Trusting only in Thy merit
    Would I seek Thy face
    Heal my wounded, broken spirit.
    Save me by Thy grace.
  5. Thou, the spring of all my comfort.
    More than life to me.
    Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
    Whom in heaven but Thee?
