it's an appointed or an affixed time. If
everything has a time then we must understand that as we go through life, there
are divine appointments waiting for us.
God is not limited to our
timetable. We live by the chronos which
is another word for time or the Gregorian calendar. We measure time by 24 hours in a day; 30 days
in a month; 12 months or 365 days in a year; however, God is not moved by the
chronos. God moves by "kairos"
time. Kairos time is a set apart
moment/season. They are God's divine
appointments where time and destiny meets.
Inside of every season are
divine appointments. God links His
timing to His will; which is able to interrupt our chronos. If we are going to be prepared for the kairos
moments that are happening even as you are reading this blog; we must prepare
ourselves to discern the times, seasons and events from God's perspective and
not our own. We have a responsibility
like the Children of Issachar in 2nd Chronicles who understood the
times and the seasons.
How do we prepare? Spending time in the word and in prayer
prepares your spirit to discern the prompting and voice of God. It sensitizes you and makes you familiar with
the stillness of God. God will not speak
over your chaos and the noise around you.
The talk of the news and what's going on can't be more prevalent than
God's presence. Yes, it's ok to stay
abreast of the national crisis in the world; however, you must see and hear with
your spiritual eyes and ears. Not
allowing the negative comments to be bigger in you than the truth of God's
word.
There is a daily shaking in the
world system that strikes fear and confusion in those around us. We face an uncertain future; however, I
believe God is offering the believers tremendous opportunity to break through
the norm and see the Kingdom of God expand.
This is the time to press into God and hear the clarion call that has
already gone forth as God prepares His bride to bring forth the greatest level
of His glory on the earth. Romans 8
talks about how all the earth is travailing, and groaning in expectation of the
manifestation of the Sons of God.
This is the time to stay focus
on the big picture and not the day to day obstacles that are stealing our
attention from the greater purpose. Do
you remember "Get Smart" the TV show?
Maxwell Smart would walk through these doors and one by one as he reached
the door it would open. Maxwell never
stopped walking. He didn't pause or
hesitate to see if the door would open; he just kept moving forward with full
anticipation that the next door would open.
I like to call that the seasons
of God and when we walk through another door it represents the kairos
moments. If we are good stewards over
our chronos, by keep moving forward with what God put in your heart to do then
we will step into the divine appointments that God has for us which will
transition us into another season.
