BEING IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME

Where Does God Want Me At Any Point In Time?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Timing is everything. God created time for men. There is a timing mechanism in eternity different from ours. It is time of sort but far greater than seconds and minutes and days. It's measurement lifecycle is such that we cannot relate with it without first removing the concept of day and night, and the concept of sleep and death. With these gone, we can relate with eternity better. And with death and sleep gone, we can also understand why God isn't in a hurry to get something done, because the stakeholders are not dieing at all, neither are they coming to any harm that can shorten their life and subsequently their plans. As it relates to us humans, we are limited by time, we don't have all the time we need. We are limited by harm, which can affect our tasks and our objectives and our goals. We are also finite in resources, finite in geographical placement. In eternity there is no constraint of resources, no constraint of geographical placement. Movement from one point to another isn't as cumbersome and resource intensive as it is for a human.


HOW TO RECEIVE ANY MIRACLE FROM GOD

The first obtacle to receiving from God is what James called "asking amiss".

James 4:3 (KJV)
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.


Other translations use the word  "wrong motives", "wrong reasons", "ask wickedly", "ask evilly", and adds that it is intended to be consumed on one's own pleasure. This then begs the question, "You mean I can't ask God for something I really want to consume on myself? That's unfair!"

Well, you don't have to worry either way. You can ask and still get if all the conditions are right in God's eyes. Then that also begs the question, "What is right in God's eyes? I have not met him, I can't see him, so how?" That is also not a problem. He has indicated very clearly in His Word the Bible what the limits are.

THE LAW OF SPIRITUALITY IS AS REAL AS THE LAW OF GRAVITY

One of the phenomenons that exists today along with other well known phenomenons is spirituality. When I say phenomenon, I am talking about those events in our existence that seem to be shrouded in some mysteries, that only a few people can logically think through and understand. The aurora in the north pole is one of the easiest I can reference. In that phenomenon, we see color lights dancing in the skyline, and if you weren't familiar with that by experience, can make the very hair on the back of your neck to bristle in awe, and even fear. Thanks to efforts from scientific minds who have taken the pain to explain how that has come to be.

Another phenomenon that we can relate to is the law of gravity. By experience we have all come to get accustomed to it. We use it unconsciously because we are so familiar with it. In fact, the only time you probably actively think about it is when you are flying, from one city to another. As the plane takes off, if you are by the window seat, your mind automatically reminds you that gravity is at work. As long as the engines of the plane is working, no failures, you know gravity cannot kill you today. As the plane touches down at your destination, you unconsciously are happy to have beaten the law of gravity, even though you take that also for granted. Thank you technology and faith in technology.

There is another law I want to bring to your consciousness. It is the law of spirituality. Take note, you don't have to be a born again Christian to put the law of spirituality to work. It is just there, working. You can choose to do one or two activities around that law and you will see its effect. I want to talk about that law from a born-again Christian's perspective. To do this, I will use one Bible passage, and tackle one example of a situation under which you can put that law to work. Interestingly, the law of spirituality also works by perpetuity. This means that the law gets initiated in your life starting from the very first day you activate it. When you do, and then you forget it for a few years, and one day return to it, it will continue right where you left off. Different people today, Christians, and non-Christians are at different stages of spirituality by perpetuity. It doesn't grow by unconsciousness. It grows by deliberateness. It goes into a pause the day you stop being spiritual, and resumes playback the day you pick up on spirituality.
