September 15. Hosea ch 4-6
RIGHT ON TIME
“Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.”
John 11:21-23 KJV
GOOD DAY. God being right on time is different for each person and for each occasion. While reading this story of Lazarus, Mary and Martha, a scripture came to my mind. It is ‘“And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.”’ Isaiah 65:24 KJV. God is talking about His people who honour Him. You can read the whole chapter at your leisure.
They sent to Jesus that Lazarus was sick. Jesus loved Lazarus yet He waited till he died and was buried for four days. Jesus said the sickness was not unto death yet Lazarus died!!! He not only died, he was buried for four days.
Although we were not told the full imagination of Matha when life happened to them but we can read a bit from her discussion with Jesus. She knew and imagined that her brother would get well if Jesus could hear and come. She sent a message to Jesus. She knew and imagined that her brother would rise again on the last day of resurrection. She also knew and imagined that God would answer and give Jesus anything He asked for. All her imagination was still in the positive direction. Although Lazarus died, she knew he would rise again on the resurrection day. What she did not know or imagine was that resurrection was already with them. Jesus came and told her the one she did not know. HE IS THE RESURRECTION. So, Jesus was and is always on time to manifest our imagination. As long as you can imagine it in Christ, He is ever ready and present to manifest it in His own way and time. Like God said in Isaiah 65:24, as soon as you called He answered. Be assured that what you asked for and imagined has been given to you no matter what is happening in the physical realm. When God comes to manifest your imagination, He is right on time and will make you happen to life.
PRAY: Dear Lord, please help me to hold on to my imagination till You manifest it.
