GOSPEL CORNER : WHEN YOU COME INTO YOUR RIGHT TIME, ALL THE FORCES OF DARKNESS CANNOT STOP WHAT GOD HAS PLANNED.

TODAY’S WORD

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
Galatians 6:9, NLT

YOUR RIGHT TIME
When you’re doing the right thing but nothing is changing, let me encourage you that the right time is the best time. God can see the big picture, and He is working behind the scenes. He’s lining up the favor and arranging the breaks you need. It’s important to not only trust God, but to trust His timing. Thoughts will tell you, “It’s never going to happen,” but when you come into your right time, all the forces of darkness cannot stop what God has planned. At the right time, your harvest of blessing will come.

Now here’s the key: If there’s a right time, that means any other time is the wrong time. It takes faith and patience to see the promises. God knows what He’s doing. If it hasn’t happened yet, it hasn’t been the right time. But your right time is already on the schedule. In the waiting process, God is doing a work in you, getting you stronger, developing your character. What God is going to do is going to be bigger, better, and more fulfilling than you could imagine.

A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for the promise that I will reap a harvest as long as I keep doing what’s right and not lose heart. Thank You that You are working behind the scenes in ways that I could never imagine. I will trust in You whether I’m seeing any signs or not, knowing that it’s going to happen at just the right time. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

SECTION TWO

In Romans 5:17, Paul gives us the key to reigning in life. It is found in RECEIVING the abundance of God’s grace and His gift of righteousness.

Something happens when you receive the abundance of God’s grace, stop depending on your own efforts, and lean wholly upon His grace. The moment you surrender and say, “Lord, I cannot, but You can. Today, I rest in Your unmerited favor,” whatever demand that is upon you disappears into the vast ocean of His abundant supply.

Many times, as I’m driving to church on Sunday morning, I feel the demand to preach a good message. The demand is real—more than 20,000 people in my congregation show up expecting to be well fed!

That’s when I turn to Jesus and receive His abundance of grace. I say to Him, “Lord, today, You are my guest speaker! I rest in You. You speak. You feed them. You provide! You take over and I will watch You in action!” The moment I let go, His grace and His supply rush in! Hallelujah!
