Much Warmth, Much Blooming and Much Flowering………….A Word for March
Time is Grace and Grace is time. Everything you do is associated with time. How much you’re paid for work is how much time you spent completing the work. Everything you will get out of life is locked in time. Without breaking time, all your miracles will be locked down and you might not be able to see them. Bible tells us to redeem the time, Ephesians 5:15-16, “See then that you walk carefully, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” An unredeemed time is subject to evil, any time that is not redeemed is equal to an evil day. The evil day is time wasted or time not redeemed. The day you do not prepare, train, pray, fast, or study the Word, when trouble and afflictions comes you will fail woefully because time was not utilized, time was wasted. Time should not be wasted on battles that must not be fought. Choose your battle wisely, Luke 16:8 “And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light“.
Christians are a bunch of emotional people found on earth. Using emotions to do business, elections, prayers, and this does not take us far. Emotions must be disciplined, for it to have full power. Emotions disciplined become zeal, and energy and leads to a conviction. When emotions precede discipline, emotions fluctuate, today you are fine, tomorrow you are worried, today you are ready, tomorrow you are not, this week you are strong and healthy, next week you are weak. Because of emotions, Christians would not go to church because the last time the way someone spoke or looked at them, they didn’t like it. This is shocking because we have the SPIRIT of GOD. The wise virgins controlled their emotions. Be matured and control your emotions. If something little goes wrong and you say all your day is spoilt, it means a lack of maturity. Because you are trying to say that nothing should go wrong or nothing should go against your will but in this world, we are bound to experience the bad and good that is why the Bible says in James 1:2 “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; but we know that all things worked together for the good“, Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called according to His purpose“.
If you sit down and think about all the betrayals, hate, the disloyalty of people, you may never find peace with anyone again, but grow past these emotions. Unfortunately, it is the truth because a lot of Christians behave in such a way, “I was serving GOD and a group of people said something about me, so I have quit church”. Hebrews 12:3 “Think of what he went through; how he put up with so much hatred from sinners! So do not let yourselves become discouraged and give up“. There is a dimension of serving GOD that requires you to endure hatred from sinners and not even fellow Christians. If you want everyone to speak well about you as a Christian, you are still a child and not mature. Some people are on the wrong side of life but because of emotions, you can’t talk to them to change their life.
Most miracles happen in an instant while others take a while to happen, but if you are very emotional, you will complain about not receiving what you have prayed for, and this makes you not matured. Bible says in Ecclesiastes 11:4 “He that observes the wind shall not sow, and he that regarded the clouds shall not reap“. If you keep looking at people and letting your emotions have control in your life and decisions, you will lose your grip over your miracles, testimonies and blessings. Pray to receive strength for this month, whatever GOD has planned will not escape you, and your emotions will not be manipulated. Amen!!
