Time is of the essence

Reflecting on what has transpired the last few days, I can't help but to remember what happened last night at RT (Remedial Training). There I was, exercising and running, yet at the back of my mind, I was really thinking about God and that I really need more of Him.

Actually, I was contemplating on whether I should go for service that night. You see, my RT would usually finish at around 6.30pm and once it finishes, I should be able to catch a cab to church and right on time for service. But of course, my spirit is willing yet my flesh is weak. So, I did what I could do... catch some fire from the altar (sounds familiar ah...)... I started praying in tongues, while I was jogging on the track.

Long story short, I decided to go for service and go with my hunger for more of God. And as we end of the RT, lo and behold, every creature, living and non-living, were ordered to be kept in camp. Why? Cause someone lost his handphone. OH MAN!!! Just when I decided to put God first and it was already 6.40pm.

Literally every man and woman, every car and motorbike, were recalled back for spot check. I was like come-on hurry up already. But by the time we finished, it was 7.30pm. So, now the stakes are higher. If I rush down, I stand to be late and not get into service at all. If I don't rush down, I might just miss a kairos time that God has for me.

I guess I let my instincts get ahead of me and I went to call a cab even before I decided. And thus here I go. And man am I blessed. Went for service, Bro Sy preached a great message and was really ministered to. Came out really inspired to want more of God: to know Him and make Him known.

Now to think back on it, it's interesting cause the whole theft issue could just very well be a plot of the devil to stop me from my kairos time to receive a word in season from God. And like what Bro Sy said, God wants us to be at the right place, at the right time.

For me, I'll just paraphrase that what really matters is to be at the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing, with the right people, for the right reason, in the right way...
