What time is your appointment?

Its Time.jpg

The word "appointed" Greek word (apokeimai) in (Hebrews 9:27), means to be reserved. Figuratively to await. To be laid up or laid away. Reserved for one.

It's similar to how some will place something on layaway at their favorite retail store. It stays there until your appointed time of making that last payment to finalize purchase power. God has a final judgement time for everyone.

While we live on this side of limited time, we trust God and wait on his perfect timing. His blessings and mercies are new every morning. (Lamentations 3:21-26). "God promised Abraham a son at the appointed time." (Genesis 18:10-14).

Have you ever thought about your appointed time to leave this earth? The Bible tells us these bodies are like a drop of vapor. They are like the morning fog that is seen for a brief time. (James 4:13-16).

The Greek word (atmis) means "a mist." If your life is like a mist up against time, you are not here very long. As some might say, "Just a dash between those two dates. Those dates are not when you would like them to be.

 

 

🗣📢 Last words: You may indeed live, carry out your existence, and die before God’s program for history reaches its full purpose. But living beyond this life means your appointment for eternal life must be now

God makes everything beautiful in his appointed time. He truly desires that your eternal living be with him and not separated from him. His message is one of trusting his perfect, purposeful timing over our ineptitude and impatience.

For authentic born-again believers, God has reassured his believers that his faithfulness ensures promises are kept, even when it feels slow to us. Paul spoke of leaving this earthly body. Please read these verses into your spirit.

1} "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

2} For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3} If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked." (2 Corinthians 5:1-3 KJV).


13} "Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 14} Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

15} Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. (2 Peter 1:13-15 KJV).


Both Paul and Peter knew of their approaching deaths. (John 21:18-19; 2 Timothy 4:6-8; Philippians 1:21-23) and rejoiced that they would be with Jesus. Paul and Peter had an intimate awareness of eternal life in God's timing.

Paul expresses a desire to be "Absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord" (2 Corinthians 5:8). Paul viewed his death as a transition to Christ rather than an end. Our bodies are like a “tent,” a temporary structure.

We all have an appointment with death, whether we try to disregard it, block it out, or try all medical marvels that try to lengthen life, we all have decayed sinful corrupt bodies. But there is life and hope only in Jesus Christ.

I have met many individuals who are afraid to look forward towards death. They say away from visiting funeral homes and make excuses about wanting to remember their friend the way they were before.

But trying to escape these things is not living in reality. Sin has brought death to all earthly bodies. Jesus is the only person that ever lived to defeat sin and death. It could not hold him. Please read (Acts 2:22-24) into your spirit.

You see beloved, death had no legitimate claim on sinless Jesus. It made his resurrection a definitive victory over the grave. You cannot escape the grave or hell apart from receiving Jesus as Lord over your life.

All born-again believers can cling to God’s word of truth concerning Jesus and the resurrection. Again, we live in a world of keeping appointments. We are running around like gerbils on the treadmill.

8} "Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9} Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10} For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11} Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:8-11 KJV).


Please also read these powerful life awakening passages into your spirit. (Acts 17:24-28; John 4:21-24; 5:24-30; 10:14-18). The Bible declares that you can set your appointment of eternal life today. You can live in newness of life today.

God has set all things in his timing. You can ignore God and face eternal separation at the "Great White Throne Judgement" or you can enter Into the joy of the Lord at "The Judgement Seat of Christ." (Revelation 20:11-15; 2 Corinthians 5:6-10).

His perfect love allows you to choose. (Acts 17:31-34; Romans 13:11-14). Your spirit lives forever. Your body and spirit were originally created by God to live in his presence. But sin broke that loving union. Now we need his appointed redemption to live

(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) (2 Corinthians 6:2 KJV).

His perfect love allows you to choose. (Acts 17:31-34; Romans 13:11-14; Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Amos 5:4). Today could be your last day to choose eternal life. Tomorrow is not promised. God's divine timing is best.

God will always operate over human timing. He keeps his perfect appointments on his perfect schedule, not ours. (Luke 9:59-62). When we wait on God’s divine appointments, it may be for our readiness to receive the promise.

His promises are certain to come to pass, never too early or too late. We are told to trust in the Lord with all our hearts. (Proverbs 3:5-6; John 14:15-21). Every season, even waiting, serves a divine purpose in God's.

My Beloved friends, It was God's overwhelming love for you that he sent his only Son to die for your sins. He actually set an appointment to redeem your soul because he knew you could not fix or save your broken condition.

[God makes everything beautiful for its own time, including your loss, your hospital experience, your difficult marriage, your brokenness, your battles, your broken dreams, your lost romance, your heartache, your illness.]

He makes each beautiful for its time. Without him, of course, it’s all purposeless and profitless. With him, however, everything will ultimately make sense. Listen carefully, God offers salvation to all people.

Many people put off a decision for Christ, thinking that there will be a better time. But they could easily miss their opportunity appointment altogether. These verses say it all about being prepared in timing (Matthew 25:1-13).

There is no better time than the present to receive God’s forgiveness. Don’t let anything hold you back from coming to Jesus. The truth is good for your soul. "The right time is now!!"


🛐 Here’s a prayer you can pray to keep your eternal life appointment. "Heavenly Father, thank you for revealing to me how precious my soul is to you and how important your appointed timing is.

Lord, you are the author of my life all time. Thank you for your perfect plan for my life. I confess my sins and impatience, my tendency to want things to happen on my schedule, but I surrender my will today to you alone.

Teach me to rest in holy trust, and believe you are moving on my behalf to find peace in waiting. Help me to be faithful in prayer, not giving up or taking matters into my own hands, but living by faith, not feelings.

Remind me that this vision is for a future appointed time. If it seems slow in coming, help me to wait on you. (Psalm 27:14). That my waiting brings your peace. Help me see that every moment is an opportunity to praise you.

Lord, I live for your Kingdom appointed time when I will be reunited with the hands that knitted me together in the womb. Even there you saw my day coming at an appointed time.

Stretch my faith in the midst of the wait and deepen my knowledge of what you are doing. Help me trust your promise that you will answer my prayers at just the right moment, in the perfect way, for your glory. In Jesus' name, Amen."
