Romans 8:28 KJV  ‘And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.’

• DAILY READING – Matthew 23:1-12; Numbers 22:41-23:26; Song of Solomon 3:6-5:1

Colonel Sanders was 65 years old when he founded Kentucky Fried chicken [KFC].  At the age he started out, he was late by the world’s standards. Prior to then he .had been a restaurateur and  after running a restaurant for several years, he found himself penniless At an age when most men have retired that was when he decided to re-fire and begin life anew. He had a fried chicken recipe, which he loved and believed people would also love. With the little means at his disposal, Colonel Sanders traveled door to door to houses and restaurants all over his local area, wanting to partner with someone to help promote his chicken recipe in exchange of certain percentage of profit. He was turned down by almost everybody he approached, he was humiliated, mocked & ridiculed at every turn. Colonel Sanders heard 1009 “no”s before he eventually heard his first “yes”. He was turned down continuously  before his chicken recipe was finally accepted, and from there he went into partnership for the franchise of his fried chicken. In a matter of few years his recipe became an enormous success, and well accepted across the nation. He became world famous by marketing of his chicken recipe, and ended up building a global empire out of fried chicken.  Kentucky Fried Chicken [KFC] today is known all over the world. Sanders who became  a devoted Christian in his later years,  used his wealth for the promotion of the kingdom of God.

Ecclesiastes 3: 11 says ‘He hath made every thing beautiful in his time:’

Indeed there is always an appointed time for each season of life. Though Colonel Sanders was late by human estimation, God gave him divine acceleration that moved him suddenly to the top. When we trust God and are walking in obedience to His commands we can trust His timing.  God can do for you, what you could not have achieved for yourself in a thousand years. What matters is being obedient to His divine instructions. God dwells outside the realm of time.  He has everything in perfect control and nothing takes Him by surprise. Not a sparrow can fall to the ground without Him knowing. He is not moved like we often are by the passage of time because He controls time and already knows the end from the beginning. He knows the plan He has for each life , and that every destiny is different, just as each plant blooms in its own season. He knows the appointed time and plan He has for each life, and while we may think time is passing, He only sees His plans coming together and situations working out for the culmination of His eternal purpose.

As the year comes to an end we may be concerned that there is no more time left to achieve our goals. But often, when men have given up; when they said road have closed is the last minute miracle hour. God can suddenly turn the tables in your favor. In Genesis 48, Joseph brought his two sons for his father Jacob to bless them. So Joseph put his oldest son, Manasseh, in front of Jacob’s right hand and his younger son, Ephraim, on his left. Though Jacob was nearly blind, when he was to give the blessing Jacob crossed his hands and put his right on the younger son, Ephraim, and his left on Manasseh, the older son. The right hand in those days gave the greatest blessing. It belonged to the firstborn son. But in this case suddenly there was a switch and Ephraim got the blessings he was not qualified for. Though he was not next in line, he was suddenly shifted to a new position. He went from the back up to the front. That’s the way our God is. Suddenly God can put you in positions you didn’t earn, didn’t qualify for, or weren’t next in line to receive.

Romans 8:28 says ‘And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.’

No matter your situation now, trust that God, is causing all things to work together for your good. Though the year may be rounding up, believe God for inexplicable miracles. In the few remaining weeks of this year, God, just like He did with Ephraim, will cross His hands and move you up. Suddenly you will go from the back to the front. God said because you honor Him, He would give you houses that you didn’t have to build. You would reap from vineyards you did not plant. That’s God crossing His hands, to give you favour in the place of labour. Because you have been faithful in serving and honoring God, He will move you up and accelerate your dreams.  Doors will suddenly open that have never opened before for you. What should have taken you many years to accomplish God will do in a split second. You’re coming into divine acceleration and divine speed. Indeed it doesn’t time, it only takes God. Suddenly, your situation will change and God will move you from the back to the front.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to always trust Your timing for my life. You are the God of miracles and even now I know that you are indeed working out everything for my good to cause the year to end gloriously  for me in Jesus Name.
