In Genesis Chapter 1:1-5, it is recorded that God created time as the
first element; that is day and night- 24hours; while God created mankind on the
six day. That is to say God created time first and created mankind last. The
first or the last of a thing is often put into important consideration. Or we
can say, the first is used to access the last and vice versa.
Consequently, and for man to master
time with God, the scripture in affirms as follows:
1.
That ‘there is time and season for everything under heaven’; Ecclesiastes 3:1
2.
That…a wise man's heart discerneth both time and
judgment. Because
to every purpose there is time and judgment; Ecclesiastes 8:5-6
3.
“That the
children of Issachar had understanding of the times, to know what Israel should
do; they were leaders and policy makers” (KJV) 1 Chronicles 12:32
4.
“That the
race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to
the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of
skill; but time and chance happeneth
to them all; Ecclesiastes
9:11.
That is to say so if a man does not
know how to use time to take his opportunities or to do the things he needs to
do at the right time, he may end up in bondage or in great inefficiency. Do you know that whatever is right but done
at the wrong time may become wrong or produce wrong result? Think about
this. We shall talk more about this later on.
Timeliness is connected to
effective prayers to God. We often say God’s time is the best; that is good.
And so we should align to God’s time over everything. Consequently, if there is
time for EVERYTHING, prayer is also amongst everything that we should align to
God’s time to undertake appropriately.
This will bring us to the secret of God’s time in praying called the
Time Redemption Prayer.
