The Law of Timing

From Our Pastor's Desk

Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose un-der the heaven…” John Maxwell said in his book, “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership” that the Law of Timing is that “when to lead is as important as what to do and where to go.” 

Also, Winston Churchill once remarked “there comes a special moment in everyone’s life, a moment for which that person was born. That special opportunity, when they seize it, will fulfill their mission – a mission for which they are uniquely qualified.

In that moment they find greatness. It is their finest hour.” Put in another phrase, we can say the law of timing, in conjunction with Churchill, preaches “there are certain windows of opportunity when – if you don’t take a risk and move forward – your effectiveness could come to a standstill”

So, it’s not just enough to have a special moment, one must seize that moment by understanding/operating within the law or timing. One must recognize that window of opportunity, seize it and make use of it, to the fullest.

An opportunity is a favorable time or occasion when we make a decision that will impact our lives in a positive way; it can be described as a gift from the Lord.  In Mark 10:46-52, Jesus decided to walk through Jericho. It became a God-ordained opportunity for those in Jericho. It was not just any opportunity for Bartimaeus, it was his only chance as it was the very last time the Lord would walk that way to Jerusalem before His crucifixion.

For Bartimaeus, it was his set time, he entered into it and his story changed for good. Blind beggar Bartimaeus understood the law of timing, recognized the opportunity, and made up his mind to seize his season. May we never miss our set time & appointed time, in Jesus Name You will have good success this 2017. 

Remain blessed.
Shalom.
