God, the Owner I

Monday, 28 October

 

Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

 

MORE LESSON: Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

 

God owns everything in the world. It is not strange to people that God owns everything created because Psalm 24:1 says, The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. Notice that the second part of that scripture which talks of the fullness has to do with the fact that God does not just own the things we see but also those things we cannot see; signs, wonders, days, years and seasons. He can turn anything to the direction He wants to accomplish His purpose on the earth, and in the life of anyone He chooses at any time.

The reason why some people constantly knock at the gate of Heaven is because there is a conflict between the times and seasons of their life. Certain things you expected to happen at certain times/seasons of your life did not happen It looks like the seasons and years are working contrary to your expectation. That is called waiting. You wait because things do not work or do not happen at the time you expect them to happen. In fact, for some, they have been told that their season has passed. But I tell you that the God who saved you, redeemed you and forgave you is your Father, the Shepherd and the Bishop of your soul. Men might say that your time and season has passed but your time is not in their hand. God your Father owns and controls your seasons to your advantage.

God has you in one hand and days and seasons in the other hand. This is good news because when you discover that the one who loves you has what you are looking for, it is game over because you are sure that it will eventually be given to you. This is what Jesus meant when He said that our heavenly Father already knows that we are in need of these things so we need to focus our attention on seeking His kingdom while He focuses His attention on attending to the issues that concern us. It is good news because He who owns the sheep also owns the grass, so there is nothing to be afraid of. It's like the popular African saying that you have both the knife and the yam in your hands, so there's no reason to be afraid of hunger. I have good news for you today, your Maker and the Owner of your soul is also the Owner of the seasons and times of your life. So there is nothing to be afraid of and He will make it good, in the name of Jesus Christ.

 

Prayer/Action

* Give God thanks because he has the season and times of your life in hands. 

* Decree that your life will play out according to the way God has planned it. 

* Ask the owner of life and time to satisfy you with your heart desires.
