Wisdom For The Day Devotional 24 September 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – God Can Not Be Late
TOPIC: God Can Not Be Late (TREM Devotional 24 September 2024)
“Martha saith unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live”. – John 11:24-25 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
Beloved, God has put time and matter under man because of our elevation in life. For where he is, that is where we are. The head and the body cannot be separated. Martha said to Jesus, it is too late; it would have been better if you had come earlier. And Jesus said you don’t understand. ‘When I told you about the resurrection and life, you were looking at a futuristic time. But I am telling you, I am the resurrection. I am not talking about an event; I am talking about a person. I am the resurrection, and I am the life. And because I am here, it does not matter how rotten the situation is; it is bound to bow to me. Eventually, Lazarus was called back to life.
Whatever situation you face, when you say Amen from your heart to what God says, you have invited God on the scene. And you know that it is a concluded matter when God steps in. If God be for you, what and who can be against you? God is for you! Therefore, whatever is against you is falling for your sake. Your natural circumstances and situations are bound to fall. Why? God is for you! So, the enemy doesn’t want you to say Amen with understanding; he wants you to join the company of those who say it religiously.
Beloved, God has put eternity in your heart, and you release eternity through words. You release it when you speak according to God’s word. When you release God’s word and agree with him, you release the manifestation of the supernatural. Eternity will always overrule natural circumstances. God will turn every sinking situation in your life around. Shame will not come to you. You will sing your song, and you will dance your dance.
