Bible in One Year

Wednesday, September  29, 2010
(Ps 46 - Ps 48)

Memorise: "A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps" (Prov 16:9)

Read: Genesis 18:1-3

When the time of God's favour is ripe, certain events take place. For the one with a discerning heart, it is easy to sense your time to move to the next level. May you not miss your time of favour in Jesus' Name. From Biblical accounts and personal experience, when your time of favour comes God could order the steps of your helpers to cross your path. He could cause you to meet a visitor of joy through whom your life will change. Looking at Abraham's encounter with divine visitors in Genesis 18:1-14, you would realize that that visit was purposeful and divinely arranged. The angels did not need to pass by Abraham's tent to get to Sodom. They could suddenly have appeared in Sodom and effected their mission without the knowledge of Abraham. Or, they could have taken other routes to Sodom, but because God wanted to put a final seal over His promise of 24 years to Abraham, He charted their trip via Abraham's tent. The Lord will purposely pass by your house this season! 

God is still in the business of linking people with their helpers. That helper could be a divine, human, animate or inanimate object. A young jobless Nigerian was strolling on the streets of an American city one day when he ran into a newspaper advert which advertised a high flying job. He applied and got the job and his life changed suddenly. This unknown jobless man became a celebrity both at home and abroad! This season the Lord will cause your path to cross that of the helper through whom your desired change will come. The Lord will organize a meeting between you and your God -given spouse which will culminate in a glorious marriage. That business opportunity that will end lack and poverty in your life and generation will cross your path this season in Jesus' Name. When your time of favour comes, God will manipulate events, situations and circumstances and the people in them to prevent you from missing your helpers. While the angels were passing, Abraham could have been inside his tent sleeping or could have gone out to attend to friends or his cattle, but God compelled him to be at the place he would see his helpers. This year, the Lord will compel your feet to position you in the way of your helpers! 

ACTION POINT:
Father, position me, and my family for favour this season in Jesus' Name.
