SENSITIVITY TO TIMING

The Bible makes us understand that there are seasons and timing for everything under the sun, may you not miss your season! I perceive very strongly in my heart that we are in a season. We have to be sensitive that we don’t miss out.

John 5: 2, Now there is at Jerusalem by the market a …waiting for the moving of the water.” Many have waited but when their time came they didn’t know. In spiritual adventure, a major requirement is sensitivity. Many keep waiting and what they are waiting for has passed but they didn’t know, ‘waiting for the moving of the water.’ Your spiritual development has no measure, no value, if you are not sensitive. Spiritually speaking, I believe Christian maturity is a measure of spiritual sensitivity to the happenings of his time and to the events of his days. Sensitivity, ‘waiting for the moving of the water, for an angel went down at a certain season into the pool.’ At a certain season! I believe there is a season in which we are. The Spirit of grace is lingering around us. ‘An angel went at a certain season into the pool and troubled the water and whosoever first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatever disease he had.’ Scriptures are very true; it says “Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He’s near.’ (Is. 55:6). There’s a time He is near! I like you to be sure you are not an onlooker to the happening of the hour. You must be sensitive; you must be in the spirit! You don’t sit down when you see your colleagues running otherwise you will regret tomorrow. All who mocked Elisha while he was in pursuit of his next phase of life, bent down before him at his return! They were mocking him; they didn’t know that God was making him. By the time he returned, their language changed, they all bowed to him, they were calling him lord. Seek the Lord while he may be found! When you see people praying in this season, please pray because suddenly the power of the Lord will come down and the demarcation will become clear. Do you know that it is not all you started with that are still around? Do you know you can only have schoolmate you can’t have classmate? This is because classes change from time to time. There are people you have left behind, there are people who have left you behind but may you not be left behind again! Classes change, everybody is striving, everybody is moving. You are either moving or you are pushed out of the line. You are either moving or will be overtaken! Be sensitive, but not only sensitive, also responsive! If you know the season, then respond. This man at the pool of Bethesda where we read, he could tell all the stories. He’s been there for 38 years. He told the story of how everybody that met him there got into the pool. There are people who tell stories, history of revival but they never partook of any. There are many biographers who don’t have biographies of their own. There are many story tellers but there are very few history makers. History makers are those who are both sensitive and responsive. They are sensitive to their timing and responsive to their opportunities. May you not be a story teller! Seek Him while He may be found call upon Him while He is near.

Get into the study of the Word! Get into your prayer! Get into deep meditation, catch the things that are in the atmosphere for you and make the most of the opportunity that is before you. Sitting with the Word, meditation deeply in the Word and moving forward by the power of the Holy Spirit. I am sounding an alarm that there is a spirit of grace lingering around waiting for who will catch the signal. May you not miss out! Others are moving, please move, stop standing, stop watching, stop explaining like the man at the pool of Bethesda. Stop telling stories of what’s happening to others, be concerned about what should happen to you and good things shall happen to you. You shall encounter glory! Those who look at God will look like God. They can’t see God and still see evil. If you see evil, it’s an indication that you are not looking at God. Those who look at men will look like men. Fellowshiping with God makes you become Godly and fellowshipping with men makes you behave like men. Fellowship with sinners makes you live in sin. Fellowship with God makes you look like God.

God is on your side, you will not miss your time in Jesus name!

GOOD CONSCIENCE

Let’s be reminded that faith is not just a tool that we use to get things from God whenever we please, faith is a walk with God. It is a way of life that is portrayed through our attitudes and conducts. In I Timothy 1:19 Apostle Paul writing to Timothy said, “Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck.” Faith minus good conscience will always lead to wreckage. The subject of good conscience has been abandoned in our days. People have mistaken the messages of faith and prosperity to mean, “Grab it any how, don’t mind how anybody feels, as long as you feel good, just do it!”

Jude 20 says, “…Building up yourself on your most holy faith…” So, faith is holy, but the question is, are you using your faith for the right thing? Is your heart right? James 4:2-3 says, “…Ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.” Faith is good but it can be applied amiss when it is on the premises of lust, carnality and selfishness. You find many Holy Ghost filled, tongue talking believers who because of dead and evil consciences, are duping fellow believers, claiming other people’s spouses and getting involved in all manner of evils.

Good conscience is the scale on which faith is measured, that is what determines the credibility of your faith. A good conscience produces healthy faith, while an evil conscience gives birth to polluted faith. You need to check yourself: is your conscience still alive? Faith without good conscience is fake! It may appear to be working for a while but it will eventually come to a dead end.

Hebrews 11:24 says, “By faith Moses…refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter…” So in the walk of faith, there are things you must refuse. Think about Joseph in Genesis chapter 39 who was being enticed by his master’s wife to lie with her, but he refused! He said, “How can I do this evil and sin against my God?” (Genesis 39:9). Nobody would have known if Joseph had committed immorality with that woman but his conscience would not let him!

Jesus said, “Ye are the light of the world…” (Matthew 5:14). When sinners steal, nobody is bothered, but when a believer steals he gives the sinners room to speak against the Church and against God. Faith can take you to the highest height in life but not without righteousness and the fear of God. So, whatever you are doing that betrays your faith must be stopped now before it stops you. Whatever you know is not straight, leave it! Never struggle to get what God has not given you! When it is your turn, everything will turn!
