Time on God's Agenda

I acknowledge the fact that many scholars have done great work on the concept and subject of "Time" and many are still in the research of understanding and how to properly annex the huge resource time has placed at their disposal for the benefit of organisations and countries worldwide. Because of the great resources and in-depth information contained in this book, you are right if you place it side by side other works on Time Management since God is the greatest time manager of all times. We cannot adequately explain, much less understand the concept of time outside of God's approach of time. The reason for this book is to motivate us to understand the crucial role time plays in our individual and collective quest to make meaningful impacts out of life. This will obviously give us a fresh perspective why certain things happen at the time they happen despite our restlessness and anxiety to make them happen earlier than they do or to prevent them from happening. Certain issues are beyond our comprehension and this is so because our universe has been programmed to carry out certain mandates by The One who has orchestrated all things for His eternal purpose. This work is essentially an attempt to uncover the mystery of God's wisdom as it relates to the concept of time and the various ordinances He has put in place to stage-manage life affairs and to express, in clear terms, the overall effect it has on our individual lives. I shall make an attempt to throw light on the word of God from Hebrews 1:3 which reveals that both the natural and the spirit world are carefully coordinated by an invisible force, all working in consonant to mutually fulfill God's overall purpose and mandate.''Who, being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding ALL THINGS (time and space inclusive) by the word of his power....'' Hebrews 1:3In other words, God is absolutely in charge of events the world over. Nothing happens without his express permission. At his instructions events unfold; and this is a vital component in the job of sanitizing our world. With this spiritual insight, we would understand that the anxieties and frustrations we entertained, experienced or expressed within the periods of waiting for certain manifestations of our expectations are absolutely uncalled for; but rather, we stand to benefit from the reservoir of strength and courage that all things are under God's control and eventually will work to suit His purpose in our lives. This understanding will equip us with the needed grace, patience and perseverance during our waiting period and also ensure that we see issues purely from God's own time frame. "But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing that, one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day." 2 Peters 3:8 A thousand years with us is like a day before God. Man is constrained by time because of our universe and of cause our earthly existence is regulated by times and seasons. God does not count or mark calendar years the way we do because His time regime is founded and rooted in timeless eternity! To those weeping and lamenting for several years of seemingly endless waiting period it's my prayer that this book will heal their weary and broken hearts. May they receive the understanding that no matter how dark their life may look, joy and light will certainly come at the end of the tunnel. To them, I declare, it is the dawn of a new day!Be assured that a delay in the time for the manifestation of that miracle does not mean a denial! As you read, I believe faith will come alive in you that God has not forgotten you but rather, He is effectively engaging time with the intention to resolve all issues of your life to your advantage!Keep holding on!!
