SET TIME TO BRING FORTH

SET TIME TO BRING FORTH

This is a new month. It is the eighth month of the year, 2008. Eight stands for ‘New Beginning’. In somebody’s life, God is about to birth a new thing starting from today. It may not appear so right now; you may not even feel anything! Your feeling has nothing to do with it. In addition, people normally refer to a special person visiting as an “august visitor”. In this very month of August, 2008, there is somebody reading this newsletter that will be uniquely visited in Jesus’ name. It will be a Vivid Visitation that will be
noised around just like that of Mary, in the Bible.

“And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken. “For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.” (Gen 21: 1, 2)

This is the Scripture that had been rolling in my heart all along! It is meant for someone out there reading this piece. Sarah was visited. What kind of visitation? God spoke to Sarah and Abraham before, and it was like it will never come to pass. Medically there was no hope for them-as they had passed the age of child bearing.

“And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken”

But because God spoke, there must be a change. The Bible says:

“For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.” (Psalm 33: 9).

God promised visiting Sarah; and He did visit Sarah in a vivid way! The visitation started with a conception. There is someone as you are reading this; you are conceiving your restoration. Another one, it is your season of breakthroughs! To another, it is time to bring forth that divine idea that will catapult or shoot you up from where you are to where you are supposed to be! All you need to do is believe God, believe His Word and believe His prophets-his ministers who are being sent to you.

Someone is silently complaining I have believed His Word or promise for a long time and there is no manifestation yet; what should I do then? My reply is keep on believing; for He that will come will come; live by faith on a consistently basis.

“Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.”

“For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: “For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.” (Heb 10:35-37). After the conception, Sarah eventually brought forth.

When? In the book of Genesis, Sarah brought forth at the “set time”. We must keep on believing God until we get to the set time of God. At the set time the manifestation must come forth. Sarah brought forth her man-child called Isaac. In between, were 9 months of waiting patiently! David said, I patiently waited for the Lord and He inclined unto me and heard my cry (Psalm 40:1-4a).

The Lord will hear you this month; this is your time and turn to be visited! Remember, Sarah was visited; but it took 9 months for the manifestation of Isaac. Many would have thought Sarah was infected with fibroid or tumor growth at the age of 90 when in reality she was pregnant! Do not worry as some may not understand the dealing of God with you; but keep your focus on the Lord; the author and finisher of your faith! He will finish what He has begun in you as it is written:

“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil 1:6) .

There is someone reading this piece , you have been waiting for long and it is like you are about to give up. Do not quit! Something is about to break forth. Your light is breaking forth from obscurity! Arise, it is your time for total turn around! In this month, there shall be no more delay. Expect that visitation that will make your expectation to change to manifestation.

‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord GOD.’

“You will arise and have mercy upon Zion; for the time to favour her, yes, the set time has come.” – Psalm 102:13. “Therefore say to them, ‘thus says the Lord GOD: “None of My words will be postponed any more, but the word which I speak will be done,” says the Lord GOD.’” (Ezek 21:28)

There shall be no more postponement. Expect God to show up in your marriage this month and destroy that yoke of oppression. Be eagerly expecting Him to manifest in your career or business this month Remember, expectation is the mother of manifestation.

Your Word of breaking forth is coming. Someone you are there, God is singling you out of the crowd, in the midst of chaos and crisis of the world around you. This is your time to show case His glory and goodness in the land of the living.

PRAYER POINTS
O Lord my God remember me for good this day as you remember Hannah in Shiloh; and cause me to bring forth and breakthrough in Jesus’ name. 1 Sam 1:19b.

.
O Lord my Father, turn unto me as you turn unto David in His father’s house, and favour me by giving me a lifting beyond my imagination (Psalm 86:16-17).

What to do this month to accelerate His Visitation?

1. Get closer to Him in His Word.

2. Read, Meditate & Do the Word.
3. Pray fervently and with faith.
4. Maintain a regular time of prayer as you do for your meals. Jer 33:3 & James 5:16-17.
5. Walk uprightly and in the Spirit. Psalm 84:11
6. Be expectant. The expectation of the righteous shall be granted says the Bible. Prov 10:24b.
7. Be always thankful. A man of God, Dr Benson Idahosa said: “If you are thankful, then your tank will be full.” One of my mentors, Bishop Wale Oke is wont to say: “Gratitude is the master key to greater release”.

Thank the Lord for answering you beyond your asking and thinking. Eph 3:20.
