SPECIAL SECRETS
Memorise:
Ano1 he said unto them. It is not for you to know the times or the
seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. Acts 1:7
Read: Acts 1:4-7
Being
a God of purpose and the greatest planner of the universe, God has a
time table for each of His children. He alone knows our day of divine
appointment hence we have no choice but to wait on Him, fully relying on
His love, care, faithfulness and His unlimited power to do anything He
has promised. No matter how close you are to God, there are still some
secrets He will keep to His chest. For instance, as close as Jesus was
to the Father, the Father did not disclose the exact day and time fixed
for the second advent of Jesus. Why? The Lord loves us so much that He
could have given us those details. Since He could not get that
information from the Father, the best He could do was to relay to us the
seasons-the signs that will precede His coming.
But
of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are
in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Mark 13:32
In the same vein, while the disciples were asking the Lord some pertinent questions, Jesus plainly told them:
.it is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. Acts 1:7
Here
the Lord was saying that anything God has kept close to His chest
should not be what they should be worrying about. Today, some believers
are busy asking God through prayer and fasting for information that is
strictly reserved for Him. There is no way they will ever hear from God
except the Lord tells them to stop wasting their time and rather channel
their efforts towards areas that can give results. One way to manage
your time as a servant of God or a believer in Christ is to identify
areas not to pray about because no matter how much you pray about such
an area, you will never get any result You may be disappointed and think
that God is unfaithful to you. No, He is not; you have simply failed to
access the special secrets. If you are sensitive to the Spirit, He will
not let you embark on such a fruitless mission. Consult the Holy Spirit
daily.
PRAYER POINT
Like
Daniel spent valuable time seeking for information not meant for his
day in Daniel 2:4, pray that you do not waste your time
