WHEN SPEED MATTERS


"I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments - Psalms 119 : 60."

 

Everything creates by God has its own pace and order. To every creature is given the means and ability enhancing movement. This movement cuts across all areas of life such as growth, digestion, breath (respiration), reproduction etc. That's concerning the health. When issues of life such as success, failure, promotion, demotion, life and death are put into consideration, the rate at which movement takes place cannot be overlooked. This is what we refer to as speed. The rate at which movement takes place cam be referred to as speed.

 

All things whether small or great, in heaven or on Earth have speed. The speed in doing good or evil, speed to obey God or disobey Him. Speed to follow the devil or execute his purpose. The question is to whom have we been given our speed and on what are we expending our swift response?

 

As for the man in our text today, his own speed is to keep the commandments of God. He just must not hear about God's law, immediately he is found doing it. When he heard about the will and mind of God over any matter, he was quick to getting it done. Such people are whom God loves to reveal His agenda on the earth and heaven to. Their slogan is THY WILL BE DONE.

 

Today, the word of God to us is this, speed matters when doing and obeying the commandments, laws, words and precepts of God is involved. It was David who told the priest that "And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste - 1 Samuel 21 : 8."

 

Oh friends, the business of our King of kings requires haste. The assignment He has committed into our hands such as witnessing and preaching to all creatures requires haste. We cannot afford to be sluggish about it.

 

When Philip was in Samaria, the angel of the Lord instructed him to go to the wilderness. Immediately, he went and met an eunuch from Ethiopia. This eunuch got saved that day and time. If he had delayed, that soul could be lost. After that, he was led to Azotus. These are men speedily doing the will of God.

 

Come, let us tell an instance of a man who did the will of God but not speedily. A day came when the Lord called me into his banquet. They heard, some went to their merchandise and others have excuses. Finally, the Lord commanded His stewards to go to the highways to bring in the halt, maimed, blind and the lame so that the place would be full. Finally, at a later time, there was found a man among those who were called first. When the Master saw him, among many reasons for casting him out, lateness was reason. Yes, he didn't have the marriage robe on but he would have been given if he had come earlier -

"And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth - Matthew 22 : 11-13."

 

In conclusion, on what do you apply speed? On whose command do you obey speedily. Judge ye if it be right in the sight of God to speedily obey the devil more than God.

BE HEALED

  “Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed – Isaiah 6:10.”   The real sickness and original state of the same in every man begins in and from the heart. The state of the heart determines how healthy man will be. Do not marvel when the scripture says as a man think in his heart so he is. It is not just thought alone, when the heart of a man is healthy, definitely his body will experience the same. This is the reason the Lord Jesus said – “Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit – Matt. 12:33.”   Having established this, it is expedient to inform us that the first healing God promised His people is not bodily, financial, emotional, mental or social healing. It is not even what we can call in this our dispensation a...

APPROVED OF GOD

Image
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth - 2Timothy 2:15.”   There are duties expected of man from God to be approved. Before any man would be approved of God, the basic bed rock is faith – faith in Christ Jesus. This is because “without faith it is impossible to please God… - Heb. 11:6.” However, there are works of faith, one of which we shall be examining today.   Among various works of faith, studying is important. It is not just to study but the studying of the word of God. we know that God faith comes by hearing. But hearing what? The Word of God. one way to contact, connect and relate with the word of God is by reading and studying that which He has written unto us in His book.   One of the reasons of disapproval of many people is because they are not given to diligent study. Most students fail their exams not because they aren’t in class when the lecture was on. They didn’t f...

GOD'S DWELLING PLACE

Image
“For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones – Isaiah 57:15.”   Many believe that God dwells in heaven. Well, that is not the whole truth. It is true that God’s throne is in heaven. But you see, throne is just part of a house or dwelling place. The book of Isaiah says – “Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? – Is. 66:1.” So, in this case, heaven is His throne and if we take heaven for throne, throne is not a place to dwell as such. It is a sitting place. So, we can liken heaven to God’s seat.   Jesus Christ gave us an account into the Father’s house which many believed to mean heaven. Jesus didn’t state it categorically to mean heaven though. In ...
