God's Timing (God's late on me)




Why does God show up late?


 I remember as a teenager I envisaged being married really early. I mean by now I should be a grandmom, lol. That's a joke, I'm only 27. 

What?? Only 27? That's late already.
Did I hear you say that? Lol. You're definitely right speaking of society and the time that I set for myself, so it's fine. Lol.


Whose Timing?

 Society would definitely say it's getting late once you're approaching a certain age. Even my teenage self is probably screaming that as well. 
I wouldn't blame her. She had dreams. She had really wholesome desires. I mean, nothing wrong with desiring to be married at 23. That was actually my timing. A time I set for myself.
Nothing wrong with that if it aligns with ABBA's will for you. 



Walk with Me, I can be trusted

  In my walk with God, I've come to realize that my life's journey is mapped on His palms, and I'm only late when I'm behind His timing and intentions for me. I figured out He planned my life in seasons and that every season is unique and beautiful.
 
 Here's the gist, I've come to realize that age isn't the yardstick when it comes to marital timing . So you could be getting married late at 24 if God intended for you to be married at 21 for instance. God is the one with your life's clock. He is the one that gets to say if you're late or not.



Now, don't be late on Love!


May we embrace quickly that our life's journey is a unique path. May we learn to relent comparing our pace in life with others.


May we walk our one-of-a-kind path hand in hand with the One who authored it. The One who knows the best route. The One who is Alpha Omega. The One we can trust.


The One who sees us, EL ROI.

Now, don't be late on love, reminiscing failed attempts, failed relationships or swimming in self doubt, uncertainties, anxieties or worries.


We sure can be late on Love when we fail to know what God is saying about our maritals at the moment. We can also be late on Love(GOD) if we do not embrace love when God is saying it is time!


A.k.a. When you're not open to receiving love. A.k.a You think you're open but then you aren't so ready mentally, psychologically, emotionally, financially, spiritually, etc.



I am definitely not saying we would be 100% ready in all of these areas before God brings or sends us love. We should however be in a space where we are intentional about our wholeness, because God is the greatest investor and He sure wouldn't give His son or daughter to someone who isn't ready for the weight of His glory upon their life.

[I think we should have a part two of this.😊]



"God is never late on anyone. On the contrary, the bitter pill is we are the ones who go late on God when we fail to align with WHAT HE IS SAYING NOW."

Getting married early isn't about the number, it is about His timing.




Hey dear one, it's beautiful if you desire to get married at a certain age. In as much as it isn't out of  God's intention for you, why not!?


Instructions:

#1. Go to the Word 
#2. Take time to ask God about His intentions for your marriage. Ask Him when He desires for you to get married. God is that detailed about our lives. He can't be more detailed about an ark (Gen 6:24-16) than He is about His children. 

NB: Please do not have a way or manner in which you expect Him to answer, otherwise you'd receive an answer according to the idol in your heart.
See Ezekiel 14:3-6

“Therefore speak to them, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the Lord will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols,
Ezekiel 14:4 NKJV


Shalom.

Wheels of Faith (a short story)- Ep 2

The Waiting Series   #Episode 2 Wheels of Faith  (a short story) Photo by Lum3n Beauty in chaos   “Oh, sorry… I’m Tolu. Toluwani Obim.   I’m currently part of a project for young people battling with suicidal thoughts.”  “Oh, wow, that’s a lot. Okay…?” She hoped he got the message. Why are you calling me? Who gave you my number, and why are you calling today of all days? Please, can you go straight to the point already! “I saw some of your art works at Twains store yesterday.” He sounded impressed. “I believe your artwork would surge many damped hopes.” Valery chuckled. Yeah right. Like it is surging mine right now. Holding the phone with her right hand, she tossed some empty cans in the waste bin with the other.   “Our team would love to work with you on a current project, if that’s fine?” Like a flash, memories of Seye flooded her again. From the voice, she could guess his age. Another young man interested in her artwork. Nah , she th...

Abéléjayán

The Waiting Series ABÉLÉJAYÁN   (The one who smokes fish for another)     Falling in love with a co-worker     Dear Abba’s Daughter,    Abéléjayán is a Yoruba word (South West Nigeria) which literally means you’re caring for someone who isn’t yours. Let’s look at this a little differently. As Abba’s daughters who love the Lord, and someday desire Kingdom marriages, we need to put the horse before the cart.   Our Father already knows we deserve the best. However, He would have us ‘ smoke fish’ (purpose) for Him to satisfy His targets while we wait. Remember the waiting isn’t exactly for a man.   Just while you’re yet busy, smoking for Him, Abba gives you company, a co Abéléjayán ! Lol. Together you’ll smoke fish for a larger number of people to be satisfied with the Father’s will here on earth. In the Father’s will, there is perfect love and contentment.   Dear Abba’s daughter, seek first our Father’s will. Contrary to the wo...

You are FORGIVEN!

  The Waiting Series #1 March You are forgiven! How many times have you let go of Abba’s gifts and blessings because of that feeling of not being worthy? Like Joy, many are like her… Worn out and tired, she kept rolling on her bed. From side to side. She slowly opened her eyes wishing all the thoughts were mere imaginations. No, they were possibilities. Who will want a girl like me? She reached for her slippers and walked into the bathroom like a helpless child.  Maybe I am helpless after all.   She knew the truth better than that lie, but how do you taste the sweetness of the truth when your mouth is filled with wormwood? The lady she was starring at in the mirror looked very different from the one her SH called beautiful just a while ago. Maybe she was looking in the wrong mirror. Truth is she’s been looking too long in the wrong mirror to remember the one her SH calls beautiful. She took a wipe from the pack on the mirror stand. Trying to wipe out her tears, another ro...
