It is time for God to<br />
honour you<br />
WHEN God created<br />
the world, He also<br />
designed and ordered time<br />
for each occurrence. So,<br />
every event in this world<br />
has a time allotted to it to<br />
happen. The world and its<br />
natural components did not<br />
appear at same time but in<br />
sequences. Heaven and<br />
earth were first created,<br />
then came the light, the<br />
separation of darkness from<br />
the light, the space and<br />
water, the bursting forth of<br />
the land with every sort of<br />
grass and seed bearing<br />
plant, the separation of day<br />
and night vis-à-vis sun and<br />
moon, the creation of fishes<br />
and etc. None of these<br />
events came same time but<br />
all at its own time. So<br />
everything in this world has<br />
to do with time.<br />
Ecc. 3: 1-4 says, “To every<br />
thing there is a season, and<br />
a time to every purpose<br />
under the heaven: 2 A time<br />
to be born, and a time to<br />
die; a time to plant, and a<br />
time to pluck up that which<br />
is planted; 3 A time to kill,<br />
and a time to heal; a time to<br />
break down, and a time to<br />
build up”<br />
There is a time for<br />
everything. We do strongly<br />
confess even when we go<br />
through times of darkness<br />
that our times of deliverance<br />
and freedom are in God’s<br />
hand. He alone knows<br />
when it is His time to visit<br />
and honour us. He allocates<br />
time to each event<br />
according to how it pleases<br />
Him.<br />
Therefore time is an<br />
integral part of our lives. We<br />
should always be cautious<br />
of what the time is, what is<br />
going to happen at the time,<br />
what we are expected to do<br />
and what we are really<br />
doing at a time. It is very<br />
important that we should<br />
know when it is our time<br />
for a divine honour. More<br />
importantly now that God<br />
is moving His time toward<br />
the final end of history, thus<br />
there are calamities,<br />
sorrows and miseries in the<br />
land of which only those<br />
honoured by God will<br />
escape the woes. It is a sign<br />
that the time allocated to<br />
rapture is very near. Lots of<br />
signs have appeared to<br />
properly inform us that the<br />
time of the end is here. We<br />
must not be ignorant of this<br />
time in order not to miss<br />
rapture.<br />
However, as the rapture<br />
approaches, God want to<br />
identify and distinguish<br />
His Children from among<br />
the people of the world. He<br />
has at this time decided to<br />
honour them. God’s<br />
honour is all that is needed<br />
to excel in all endeavours<br />
and be prepared for the<br />
second coming of our<br />
Master Jesus Christ. We<br />
should uphold the fact that,<br />
the time of God's gracious<br />
decision to honour us is<br />
now. I want to let ou know<br />
that today divine honour<br />
shall be your portion in<br />
Jesus name.<br />
When God honours His<br />
people, the barren will<br />
conceive, the lame will walk,<br />
the blind shall see, the<br />
captives will be set free, the<br />
poor will rejoice, the<br />
contestants of political and<br />
economic power will<br />
triumph, the hungry and<br />
thirsty will be satisfied, the<br />
sick will be healed,<br />
deafness and dumbness<br />
will be cast away, the<br />
incurable shall be cured,<br />
etc, and those that lose<br />
anything in life shall have<br />
it again with unspeakable<br />
advantage<br />
Many people are facing<br />
different challenges of<br />
dishonour of failure in their<br />
endeavours vis-à-vis<br />
business, health, family<br />
because they do not<br />
recognize the fact that there<br />
is honour that brings good<br />
health, prosperity, victory<br />
and progress. I don’t know<br />
the honour you have and<br />
yet suffering affliction and<br />
failure but I want to let you<br />
know that only God can<br />
give honour devoid of<br />
failure. And He has<br />
decided to honour you<br />
today and His decision<br />
cannot be frustrated. He<br />
has His decision according<br />
to the counsel of His will,<br />
and none of the devices of<br />
His foes can frustrate it.<br />
Nobody’s decision is<br />
expected to be carried out<br />
from age to age because the<br />
wisdom of one age may be<br />
the folly of another, but the<br />
Lord's decision changes<br />
not. You need not go into<br />
heaven or hell to know that<br />
it is God that decides what<br />
gender one would be from<br />
conception, what plant<br />
should grow in every<br />
given climatic zones and<br />
species of every animals<br />
because that could be<br />
learnt even from the beast.<br />
Job 12: 7-10 says, “But<br />
ask now the beasts, and<br />
they shall teach thee; and<br />
the fowls of the air, and<br />
they shall tell thee: 8 Or<br />
speak to the earth, and it<br />
shall teach thee: and the<br />
fishes of the sea shall<br />
declare unto thee. 9 Who<br />
knoweth not in all these<br />
that the hand of the LORD<br />
hath wrought this? 10 In<br />
whose hand is the soul of<br />
every living thing, and the<br />
breath of all mankind.”<br />
The vulture lives more<br />
securely than the dove, the<br />
lion than the ox, the shark<br />
than the dolphin, the rose<br />

When God<br />
honours someone<br />
He makes every<br />
other person to<br />
reverence and<br />
favour him<br />
than the thorn which tears<br />
it. That one is rich and the<br />
other poor is not by fortune<br />
or chance but the Lord<br />
orders these things<br />
according to His measure<br />
of grace. This is because<br />
He alone decides what<br />
happens in all creatures.<br />
That God allows the<br />
righteous to transit or the<br />
wicked to exist does not<br />
imply weakness on His<br />
part, and that He allows the<br />
economic situation or the<br />
leaders we have on our<br />
political seats today to<br />
remain is still to ensure His<br />
decision comes to fulfiment.<br />
So in the world, when the<br />
providence of God by our<br />
own calculation seems to<br />
run across His promises, it<br />
is all according to His<br />
predetermined intention. If<br />
one man takes this way,<br />
another runs that way it is<br />
all to accomplish the will<br />
and decision of the<br />
Almighty God.<br />
God has no partner, His<br />
decisions are His own, they<br />
are formed and<br />
established in His infinite<br />
wisdom, and none can<br />
turn them aside or prevent<br />
its accomplishment. I<br />
don’t know what the<br />
enemy has planned<br />
against you or the<br />
remaining weeks of this<br />
year, neither do I want to<br />
know the powers behind<br />
their machination, but<br />
what I know and is sure<br />
of, is that none of their<br />
devices will be fruitful<br />
except the Lord has<br />
decided it. If you are on<br />
the side of God, be<br />
assured that as the year<br />
comes to an end He has<br />
decided to honour and<br />
makes you a blessing to<br />
your family and<br />
generation. Thus you shall<br />
henceforth have good<br />
peace, abundant of grace<br />
and deliverance. It shall<br />
be well with you.<br />
Jer 29:11 says, “For I<br />
know the thoughts that I<br />
think toward you, saith the<br />
LORD, thoughts of peace,<br />
and not of evil, to give you<br />
an expected end”<br />
God’s love is steadfast<br />
toward His chosen people<br />
and He has decided to<br />
perform His good word by<br />
honouring them. When the<br />
Lord made decision to<br />
honour us, it is a good sign<br />
that He is coming toward<br />
us in mercy. Promises are<br />
given to quicken and<br />
encourage us that He<br />
means well for us.<br />
I want to assure you that<br />
as a matter of honouring us,<br />
all the promises He has<br />
determined for us this year<br />
shall come to realization<br />
and none shall elude us in<br />
Jesus name. The decision<br />
to honour us does not<br />
depend upon our merits,<br />
but upon His mercy, and<br />
kind thoughts and<br />
purposes which He has for<br />
the Chosen people.<br />
Assuredly, His hoour will<br />
make an end to our trouble.<br />
By this honour God has<br />
removed your old garment<br />
of shame in relation to<br />
disappointment, lack,<br />
poverty, sickness, affliction,<br />
barrenness, etc and put<br />
upon you a new garment<br />
of honour, wealth, sound<br />
health, prosperity,<br />
sanctification and divine<br />
immunity. So as decided by<br />
God these shall be your<br />
portion in Jesus name.<br />
When God honours<br />
someone He makes every<br />
other person to reverence<br />
and favour him.<br />
2Co 6:2, “For he saith, I<br />
have heard thee in a time<br />
accepted, and in the day of<br />
salvation have I succoured<br />
thee: behold, now is the<br />
accepted time; behold, now<br />
is the day of salvation.”<br />
There is a particular time<br />
wherein God is pleased to<br />
pour out His blessing of<br />
mercy. And this is that<br />
particular time: that time of<br />
a peculiar blessing. Behold,<br />
now is that accepted time,<br />
now is the day of salvation;<br />
that is, the very time in<br />
which the mercy of God is<br />
present to heal, deliver and<br />
in which every sinner who<br />
believes in the Lord Jesus<br />
Christ may be saved.<br />
