The Time Factor

When Elisha's servant, Gehazi took two talents of silver and a similar number of changes of garments by deception from a grateful Naaman who had just been healed of leprosy, Elisha confronted Gehazi thus, "Did not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing? (2 King 5:20-26)

He question the Lord is asking us today is "What time is it?"We have to understand that life is made up of times and seasons. Anyone who desires to be successful must understand this. God does not do anything except according to His set times and seasons. The God we serve is a God of plan, God of purpose, a well-organised God. The Bible tells us all things were predestined by God from the beginning and He determines the things that are to come.

God's times and seasons are not governed by clocks or calendars. His times and seasons are determined by understanding and revelation. If we want to know what God's time and season is, we must have a revelation, we can then move into a new dimension. Where there is no understanding or revelation, we are left behind.

Just as Elisha asked his servant, "What time is it? Is it time to go after money? Is it time for lying or cheating?" We need to ask ourselves "What time is it, in our lives and in this nation?" When we have understanding and revelation of times, we will then know what to do, like the children of Issachar who had understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do.

As we look around us today, we see wars, sickness and diseases everywhere. The spirit of death is on the rampage, confusion and chaos reign, and there seems to be no solution at all.

Beloved, we are living in times and seasons when men ought to rise up, lift their hands to God in heaven and call for divine intervention, for God to rise and to have mercy on us, because the times that we are living is now evil.

What time is it?
It is time for us, our families, our nation to receive healing. Healing will only come when we rise up and lift up our hands to heaven. "If My people who are called by my Nmae will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14)

What time is it?
It is time to call upon the Name of the Lord, to call on our God to intervene in the affairs of men. God will not interfere in the affairs of His people if they do not invite Him. If we flow with the times of God, we must be flexible for God will always change our direction, and even location, especially when we are getting closer to our destinies. God changes times and seasons and situations.

Some of us are so set in our ways and our thinking. We refuse to respond to the changes God brings our way. We want to remain in our comfort zone and yet continue to believe God for breakthroughs.

There can be no breakthroughs without changes. The reasons why some of us do not get breakthrough is because we persist in doing the same things we have been doing for a long time. The matter is very simple; no change, no breakthrough.

Elijah was a man who knew the times and seasons of GOd. He understood that he must be flexible in the hands of God and allow God to direct his ways. And so he responded to God's instructions for him to go wherever God directed him to go.

The Bible says that Elijah was a man just like us, yet he was able to lock up the reservoirs of heaven for 3 1/2 years. The whole economy of Israel, which was agriculture based, collapsed. It is surprising then that Ahab and his evil spouse, Jezebel, hunted for him with a vengeance?

He was a man who knew God's times and seasons. He moved when God told him to move, from Kerith Ravine where he could drink from the waters and ravens brought him bread and meat in the mornings and the evenings, to the famine-stricken city of Zerephath, where a widow provided food for him, according to God's promise.

Elijah was able to take on the 450 prophets of Baal and emerge victorious because he was in the will of God, championing the cause of God. When we understand, accept and flow with the times and seasons of God, we are empowered with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. It is difficult for men to resist us and even the enemy cannot touch us.

It is time God's people know what time it is now.

- Ps John Tsakpornu

Winning The Heart of The King

The book of Esther is a marvelous story of love, compassion and hope. It is an amazing story of how a young peasant girl won the heart of the king, and how God, through a set of circumstances, sovereignly brought great deliverance to a whole nation.

The story of Esther features, amongst many things, a spectacular beauty contest. Hundreds of beautiful young girls were paraded before the king, a mighty and powerful ruler, in his palace. The royal palace, as describe in Esther 1:6,7 was opulent and ostentatious.

There were white and blue linen curtains fastened with cords of fine linen, and purple on silver rods of marble pillars; and the couches were of gold and silver in a mosaic pavement of alabaster, turquoise, and white and black marble.

And they served drinks of golden vessels, each vessels being different from the other, with royal wine in abundance, according to the generosity of the king.

Needless to say, most of these young girls would have been overwhelmed by the sheer grandeur of the palace settings.

Have you ever wondered what it was that set Esther apart from all the other beautiful girls, for the king of choose her as a queen?

I believe that Esther won the heart of the king. She did not look at the gold or silver but say His heart. She desired him only and he was won over.

God is tugging at our hearts today. He wants us to look within and question our motive. Did we come to church just to hear a well-preached sermon? Did we come to church to make ourselves feel better? Did we come to church to receive something?

What are we after? Are we after the palace of all His provisions or are we, like Esther, after His presence?

The Lord today is seeking for a people who are more interested in touching His heart rather than desiring the splendor of His kingdom.

Today we need to say, "Lord, forgive me for wanting only what You can do for me. Lord put it in my heart to want You."

Many of us have been side-traced and distracted by our many wants and desires.. If we observe carefully, we will notice that many countries which have been tremendously blessed, have forgotten about God. They have beautiful, impressive churches of Gothic design but God is not there. They fell in love with the beauty and splendour of the palace, instead of falling in love with Him.

Today, God wants to do great things in this nation. Pray for leadership of this nation, for God to change and turn their hearts towards God. Pray that God will open their hearts as we cry out to the Lord.

O God, teach us, show us how to fall in love with You again. We need You to turn us from mere spectators into worshippers. Lord will our mouths and hearts with worship. There is none like You, for You and You alone are worthy of our praise.

From Grave To Glory

Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days." Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you believe you would see the glory of God?" - John 11:39-40

My beloved child of God, I urge you to take away the stone. Do not think it is impossible to break away from any sin or evil habit. God's grace is sufficient for you. What God requires of you is contrite heart that will sincerely confess all your sins and determine never to go into sin again. Ask Jesus to come into your life and He will make you a new creature.

After removing the stone, a simple prayer of faith will transform you and you will never be the same again. The removal of the stone leads to glory. What happened after the stone over Lazarus' sepulcher was removed clearly speaks of what will happen today if you will also remove the stone. "Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His yes and said, 'Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me." Now then He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come forth!' And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with grave clothes and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, 'Loose him, and let him go' " (John 11:41-44).

In our crusades, as well as on Sunday and Wednesday services, we have seen numerous people healed of their sickness and disease. These great miracles happened because the stone of faithlessness, doubts and unbelief have been removed.

We have received numerous letters of testimonies, appreciation and encouragement from people whose lives have been touched, healed, transformed and restored in our different services after being prayed for, because the stone which kept them in darkness has been rolled away, the chain has been broken, the fetters have been destroyed and the shackles have been done away with.

These are the things that will happen when you remove the stone. This is the path of glory. Remove your stone today and you will see God transpose you from grave to glory in Jesus' name.

Mum's Prayer

Dear Lord, it's such a hectic day
With little time to stop and pray
For life's been anything but calm
Since you called on me to be a mum

Running errands, matching socks
Building dreams with building blocks
Cooking, cleaning and finding shoes
And other stuff that children lose

Fitting lids on bottled bugs
Wiping tears and giving hugs
A stack of last weeks' mail to read
So where's the quiet time to read?

Yet when I steal a minute, Lord
Just at the sink or ironing board
To ask the blessings of Your grace
I see then, in my small one's face

That You have blessed me all the while
And I stop to kiss that precious smile.

"A mother holds the children's hands a while, their hearts forever."

From Grave To Glory

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consideration also abounds through Christ. - 2 Corinthians 1:5-6

The Path to Glory
This is the nature of the contemporary 'grave' experience, and it is amazing to know that God can transpose any sincere seeker from a 'grave' experience to a 'glory' experience. 'Grave' experiences cause a lot of weeping, mourning and sorrow. Just like Martha, Mary and the Jews, the grave experience weights the heart down and dampens life. But glory be to God in the highest that at last, God through Jesus Christ translated Lazarus from grave to glory. The path to glory is vital to everyone on this planet earth and I am sure, you would also like to know the path that leads from grave to glory.

Jesus came to the sepulcher or grave of Lazarus and instructed the people there to remove the stone. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." (John 11:39). The stone must be taken away before you can be ushered into the glory of God's powerful miracle. The people by the sepulcher of Lazarus moved the stone and one of the greatest miracle in the Bible followed: a four-day-old dead man rose up from the grave.

By divine appointment and direction, this also is the charge and instruction of Jesus the Saviour to you today if you want to get out of the grave and proceed to glory.

However, you must first remove the stone that is blocking your way. In our contemporary times, the stone is not the kind of physical stone put over the sepulcher of Lazarus. The 'stone' here is the hindrance across your path to glory. The 'stone' is the habit or practice that keeps you away from God's presence. It is the lifestyle that makes it possible for you to have a living relationship with Jesus. At times, the stone is your unbelief or lack of faith in the promises of God. The stone is your disposition towards Christ, His servants and His word. And God says you must take away the stone.

You need to understand that neither God nor Jesus Christ will remove that stone for you. You must do it yourself. You must remove the stone of sin and evil habits and watch God transform your life from the grave into His glory.

If the stone of immorality, adultery, fornication, gossiping, backbiting, drunkenness, lewdness, greed, jealousy and unbelief are still in your life, attaining God's glory will simply remain a dream in your life. Therefore, obey the Word of God today for your redemption.

He that has ears let him hear what the Holy Spirit speaks to the Body of Christ.

No storm can sink a ship which Christ commands.

- Daniel O.C
