A CLOCK HEART

May 17th – Capsule 17

TOPIC: A CLOCK HEART

BIBLE TEXT: Therefore his sisters went unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick . . . . he said, this sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God . . . . then when Jesus came he found that he had lain in the grave four days already – John 11:3-4&17

Believers today have a clock heart, we always want things done fast and for it to go our way, which is not bad, I also desire such but we must understand that the ways of our Heavenly Father are different from ours. Mary and Martha worked with a clock heart in John 11, their brother, a true christian, not only that, but a ‘beloved’ of Christ personally. With a close relationship yet the Lord Jesus Christ waited two more days after he heard their prayer request. 
Sometimes we are too quick to judge the Lord when we don’t receive that gift, that request or that expectation, as children of God when we pray, this doesn’t mean Our Father did not hear us, rather He is planning a grand entrance to make His Children a wonder unto many.

The striking question here is, will you wait for His response or will you hurry and kill that prayer with doubt, frustration and desperation – the ways of the flesh? They buried Lazarus before Christ came to give life, healing and strength. Don’t set a timer for God, time works for God and not God for time. He has heard you and He is coming with the ripe answers, cheer up and trust in the Lord.


Prayer: Lord Jesus I trust you and will never again work with a clock heart on your promises, help me to wait prayerfully and faithfully on you in Jesus name.

Insight: Let go of your clock thoughts and timing for God's blessings and see the wonders of Christ in your life.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in...

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People  Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t...
