Divine Provision through Time Management!

Eccl 3:1-12

“There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven” V 1

There was a testimony of a young man that needed money to pay his school fees, so he prayed to God, to assist him. One evening on his way back from an errand, he saw a public notice invitation to attend a three day workshop on Infant mortality, to begin by 8:00am, there and then he had a ministration to attend the workshop, not knowing what God was really up to, he agreed.

Early the next morning he was up, did his morning functions and was at the venue by 7:30am,only to find ,the place almost deserted, except for an elderly woman standing at the entrance to the hall, and few on-lookers; the young man greeted the woman and went along into the hall, before he was called back by the lady and asked if he had any specific function to cover, his response was ‘no’, that he just came to attend; the lady requested him, if he would not mind to assist in the workshop secretariat, because people penciled down for the task, are not fought coming and the commencement time was almost due, with no workshop material ready. That was how the young man got engaged in the secretariat and at the end of the workshop he was given an allowance of #10,000 for his assistance.

What’s the lesson behind the story; even with the ministration if the young man had gone late, he would have missed God’s provision for him. I don’t know how many such divine provisions you have been missing, because of lateness to duty, church or school? Cast away procrastination today, it is a thief of time. (Prov. 24:30-34)

Common Sense

Joshua 9:1-26 “The men of Israel sampled their provisions but did not enquire of the lord. Then Joshua made a treaty of peace with then to let them live and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath”. V 14-15. The issue of using ones common sense has been an issue of division among the body of Christ, even in this generation of motivational speakers. Men are neglecting the place of consulting God on critic issues or even smaller matter like traveling. And some of this issues or matters have brought some great trouble to the body of Christ, individuals or some trouble the Nation is facing now. From the Bible passage above, (Exodus 34:11-16) we saw how Joshua, a great servant of God, with the Israelite felled into this trap of common sense, because humanly speaking, checking of the provisions of the deceptive Gibeonite, was what common sense would do, but for them, they’ve forgotten that their life or being has gone beyond commonsense, God has been givi...

Family Prayer Series III: ALIGN WITH GOD

Reading & Meditation Joshua 24:1-15 “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord” 15c We bless God for another gift of a day. We are still on the issue of the praying family. Another suggestion in helping our family pray together is the issue of aligning with God. Joshua from our today’s, passage, understood God’s purpose for himself and family, and would have probably be teaching them, practicing and obeying them with his family as instructed by God in Deuteronomy. This made him stand to the end, and at his good old age, he was still with God and could declare for his family; that they are partner with the Lord, till death. For your family to begin praying, then you must align with God’s plan and purpose. Before praying as a family, the family purpose and plans must be known by all members involved, provided they can understand issues of life. The place of your family in God’s scheme should be sought in prayer first. And over all, our goal in prayer ...
