Don't Miss the Moment
God has designed life to operate in seasons and what God wants to do in that season will come only once!
Th blessings that God has for this season will be only for this season!
In the scripture, Jesus actually rebuked some cause they didn’t know the season... they missed their time.... God prepared and God sent them their answer but they didn’t show up...
Listen...
Satan will provide you with a constant flow of very good sounding excuses for missing....
Because Satan understands seasons sometimes better than we do... so he sends distractions to hinder us from receiving what God has prepared for us!
But whatever you have to do....
Don’t let this moment pass you by!!!
Don’t be distracted in your season!
When Jesus came walking on the water the disciples almost missed it! Because they didn’t even recognize Jesus walking on the water....
Do you know why the disciples in that boat...and in that storm...why and when they saw Jesus thought He was a spirit? Do you know why they didn’t recognize Him?
It’s because they didn’t expect Him to show up!
When you have no expectations... you won’t even recognize God when He does come to you....
Do you know how the father recognized his prodigal son from afar off? He was looking for him!
But when Jesus came walking on the water... the disciples didn’t recognize Him...
They almost missed their moment because of a lack of expectation and because they had allowed the storm to distract the.
Distractions can delay or even deny us from receiving what God had for us.
As a pastor, nothing is more frustrating than to pray and seek and get a word from God that warns people about what’s coming and to preach it and then have those who listened fall in the hole that you just warned them about.
But it’s not that they didn’t listen to the word from God, they just allowed satan to distract them so much that they fell into the trap laid out before them. But I don’t judge those people because I myself have been guilty of the same fault. I like the disciples didn’t recognize what God was doing because the enemy had arrested my attention so thoroughly that I almost missed the Lord working a miracle in my season.
The only hope we have is when we find ourselves falling into and being consumed by the distractions of our storm… we must cry out like the disciples…. only their cry saved them! Because He would have passed them by but He heard their cry.... when they cried out to God... God moved with compassion and saved them....
But had they done nothing... they would have missed their moment and Jesus would have passed them by....
Listen... there are seasons and times and divine moments that we must respond in or we miss out....
Let me ask you some questions.....do you believe God loves you and cares about you? Don’t you know He sees what your going through? Don’t you believe God is still the provider?
When Israel was in the wilderness....every morning...manna fell... but they had to get up and go out and gather it, to meet their need. If they slept in and missed the morning, they would miss the answer to their need!
What if the service you chose to miss is the service....the season.... the moment of your deliverance....the appointed time for your answer? And later on... your still praying and questioning, “God why don’t you move on this problem... why won’t you met this need?”
And God is thinking... I sent it! But you stayed home...slept in and missed the manna!
Hear me! Don’t let the devil steal your blessings....beware of distractions …. be faithful!
#The faithful never leave the field hungry!
Because they were faithful to go to the field!
Th blessings that God has for this season will be only for this season!
