It is your time.

It is your time. Time for what? Two main things, the first is, it is your time to grow. It is always your time to grow. Psalm 32:6. While you are waiting, it is time to pray. It is time for you to grow, so that when your harvest comes, you have the capacity to take it all in and retain it. When the time for the harvest comes, you have grown, you have maximized the waiting time. So, it is always your time to grow. Sometimes, God will allow some things to happen so that you can grow in character. God will allow you to go through some difficult paths while you wait, because it is always your time to grow. Like the case of Joseph, it may not be time for the palace yet, but it is always your time to grow.

Luke 1:80 Profound! The scripture outlines the process John went through. He was in the desert where he grew until the day of his showing to all Israel. When the time came for his showing, he had grown. That is the difference between John, the Baptist and Joseph. Joseph showed himself before he grew. On the other hand, John grew before he showed himself.

The key thing is if you show yourself before growing, you may have to grow with fetters and chains, like the Joseph example. However, you will still show after you have grown. You don’t show before you grow, you show after you grow. John, the Baptist grew first, then he was shown. So, you have a choice of where to grow. You can grow in the wilderness before you show. Or you can grow in the prison before you show. What will it be? Whichever way, you will grow.

If you are committed to God, and you stay loyal to God like Joseph and John were, you are going to fulfill your destiny. You do not shout, “I have a dream” before you grow. Grow first, then shout, “I have a dream”. It is always your time to grow.

Secondly, it is always your time to enjoy. This may surprise you, but it is so in God’s plan for you. Regardless of what you are going through, it is always your time to enjoy. Regardless of the season you are in, it is God’s will for you to have fun. Is that even scriptural? Philippians 4:4. God wants you to have fun regardless. It may not be time for the palace, but it is always your time.
