The Heavenly Father honors these people!

Students need to be available to be where their teachers or mentors are. They need to prioritize their time to be accessible to them. In the same way, we need to submit our schedules to our Master Teacher and Mentor, the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to follow Him and His will for us. The Heavenly Father honors those who willingly do this with all of their hearts. He will shower His favor upon those who follow the Lord Jesus. A true student will be where their teacher is, and a true disciple will follow the Lord Jesus! Whom are you following?

John 12:26 “If you want to be my disciple, follow me and you will go where I am going. And if you truly follow me as my disciple, the Father will shower his favor upon your life”.

The right time and season!

The Proverbist once wrote: “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). There are correct times and seasons to sow, to be born, to invest, to speak, to remain quiet, etc. We have the God-given authority to make our own decisions and live the way we choose. And in doing so, many times we make decisions outside of the correct timing or season. Due to this, some of the things we do will not succeed. 1 Peter 5:6 says: “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time.” The word “appropriate” in this verse contains a powerful principle. It means “due season,  proper time, time of visitation, appointed time, His own good time, the right time, His timing.” God has a perfect time in His will to exalt, promote or prosper you in the place of His service. This includes everything you need to accomplish His purpose in your life. So instead of praying for God to prosper you, may I suggest that you pray to God to give you discernment regarding His timing as you serve Him. This way, you won’t get ahead of His timing, and you won’t miss your time of visitation. After all, to everything there is a correct and and accurate time and season!
