MY TIME HAS COME Day 3 am

Topic: My Time Has Come
Text: John 5: 1 – 11

1] After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
[2] Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
[3] In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
[4] For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
[5] And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
[6] When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
[7] The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
[8] Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
[9] And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
[10] The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
[11] He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk
 
It is practically impossible to achieve anything in life except the fulness of time of such occurence is due. Eccl 3:1 (NAS) "There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven".  Our Lord Jesus christ even acknowledged this statement of fact when the His mother came to Him at the wedding feast at  Cana of Gallilee when they ran out of wine. He replied "My time has not yet come".
 
At the pool of Bathesda lay multitude of impotent folks. Bathesda means a place of mercy. There, Jesus had mercy upon a man whose time has come. I declare to you today that mercy will locate you, mercy will speak for you, mercy will be busy on your behalf. You may or may not look like it, you might have written yourself off that can anything good come out of you  again, with God the seemingly impossible is possible.  Ps.102: 13 said, “The set time to favour you has come and it is now. It is your time to be blessed, remembered, celebreted, favoured, librated etc... just name it. what you say is what you see. "My time has come" could be literarily interpreted as "My appointed time"
 
From the scriptures above, you will discovere that you don’t have to go anywhere to obtain your miracle – quite a no of us focus our faith and attention on the occasional stirring of the water. It is TIME TO FOCUS ON JESUS!  Heb 12:2 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith". The man has been focusing on the water, he was at the house of mercy but he did not receive mercy because his time has not come or simply because it was not the appointed time. Quite a number of us might have been in a particular phase of life for donkey no of years or probably being forgotten and even written yourself off like "Mephibosheth at Lo debar" Lo debar  as some bible  scholars will say - being placed low behind the bar".  "The truth of the matter is when God turns to you, it becomes your turn". 1 Samuel 2:8a He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes.
 
vs 5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. One thing is clear of this man, he may not have received his mercy for 38years but he did not move out of the house of mercy. "in order to receive a divine allocation you need to be divinely located"  you need to be at the right location to get your allocation. Don’t allow people to deceive you and push you away. don't allow circumstance, peer pressure or whatsoever to disconnect you from God. He stayed for 38years. Stay and see the glory of God.
 Note: God's timing is different from the way man calculates timing, when it comes to God timing is defined by: the set time, the appointed time, the fullness of time etc.
 
This man was there for 38years – I don’t think your situation is that bad. He didn’t know how to get out of disability, yet he stay there. You might not know how to get out of your box of  limitation, barrenness, sickness, loneliness  etc...but I’ve got news for you - this is your appointed time !
 
Jesus by passed a lot of people that day and got to the man whose time had come. "when it is your turn things will surely turn in your favour, protocols are broken, rules are suspended all because it is the appointed time.
 
Jesus said, “Do you want to be healed? He said I have no one” Jesus said that you don’t need anyone again. The man began to give excuses, but it was his appointed his excuses were not relevant, a once upon a time object of ridicule became a subject of miracle. i decree and i declare your object of ridicule  will turn around to be a subject of miracle in Jesus name.
 
People may laugh at you and say so you are still at that same spot,People may step on you but wait,People may say you still believe you get it after several failed attempts.
I have come to announce to you that what God has said about you, the devil can't stop it, he can't stand it and there is nothing he can do about it. All you need do is to stand your ground in christ Jesus.  The only people that win the race are those who never quit. it is said that "Winners don't Quit, and Quiters don't Win". The woman with the issue of blood pressed on because she knew that it was her time and she had  to maximize the opportunity, she pressed foward despite all odds.
 
 I like you to celebrate because your time has come.
 
Prayers:
 
1. Praise God; His grace has kept you alive till today, thank him for Be inspired as a whole.
2. Father, please just have mercy on me and let your mercy be busy for me.
3. Father, please let your favor locate me right now.
4. Father, please turn my ridicule to a miracle
5. Father, please give me results that will cancel my insults
6. Father, please  divinely position me where my divine allocation is.
7. Father, please in my hour of visitation  let me not be found wanting.
 
Shalom.
