Open Heaven 26 January 2023 TOPIC: For An Appointed Time

MEMORISE: “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” – Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV)

READ: Habakkuk 2:2-4 (KJV)

2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 35-37

Open Heaven 26 January 2023 MESSAGE:

The Bible says in Proverbs 13:12, “Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.” You may have really been hoping for something, but have not gotten it yet and your heart is beginning to feel sick. Beloved, summon up strength and keep hope alive. Habakkuk 2:3 says that every vision Is for an appointed time. Your appointed time will soon come in the name of Jesus.

While waiting for their appointed time, many people do things that put a dent in their testimonies. In Genesis 16:2, Sarah asked Abraham to have an extra marital affair with her maid so that the young girl could have a child for him. Sarah gave up hope and compromised. She later regretted it when her appointed time came and she now had her own child. In Genesis 21:10, she told Abraham to send the maid away with her son. Beyond that, I’m sure when she looks down from heaven now and sees some of the seeds of that maid attacking her own seeds, she would wish she had kept hope alive.

While waiting for your appointed time, just ensure that you are obeying every instruction of God to the letter, whether it makes sense or not. Many years ago, we were offered the chance to buy all 40 acres of a serene campground called the “Youth Camp”, for N100,000.That was a lot of money back then. I gathered my people together and we prayed quoting the Scripture:

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. – Joshua 1:3

We put off our shoes and walked round that camp ground praying and confessing that it was ours, by faith. Not long afterwards, another ministry heard that the property was available for sale and they promptly paid for it. Our hopes were dashed, but I encouraged myself in the Lord and kept hope alive. Before long, God led us to where the Redemption Camp is situated, though then it was notorious for being a home for highway robbers and big snakes. We trusted in the Lord and purchased the first parcel of land that has grown to become Redemption City today. The Redemption City now sits on an expanse of land far greater than what we had earlier wanted to purchase. Thank God that we kept hope alive for our appointed time.

Open Heaven 26 January 2023 HYMN 21: Standing On The Promises Of Christ My King

1 Standing on the promises of Christ, my King,Through eternal ages let his praises ring;Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,Standing on the promises of God.

Refrain:Standing, standing,Standing on the promises of God, my Savior;Standing, standing,I’m standing on the promises of God.

2 Standing on the promises that cannot fail.When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,By the living Word of God I shall prevail,Standing on the promises of God.

3 Standing on the promises of Christ, the Lord,Bound to him eternally by love’s strong cord,Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,Standing on the promises of God.

4 Standing on the promises I cannot fall,List’ning ev’ry moment to the Spirit’s call,Resting in my Savior as my all in all,Standing on the promises of God.
