“...because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you” (Luke 19:44, NIV)
There are certain times of “God’s Coming” to every person and every nation. There are special times of “God’s Coming” to every local church. Unfortunately most of the people, nations and the churches fail to recognize those times of God’s visitation (KJV).
Whenever we fail to recognize the times of God’s visitation, the results are disastrous. The Lord Jesus wept over the city of Jerusalem because of the disaster that was going to befall the city. Jesus said to Jerusalem, “The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you” (Luke 19:43-44, NIV). Those are the horrifying results of the failure to recognize God’s visitation.
Now let us consider what would be the results if one could recognize God’s visitation! It logically follows that the results would be on the contrary because the attitude of the people involved is different. will happen in our lives.
The enemy shall come against us and shall be defeated. We will dash the enemy to the ground. The enemy will not be able to pull down our strongholds. We shall build new forts and strongholds for our safety and prosperity. The whole difference is because we have recognized God’s visitation!
Do you know God’s plan for the present generation? God is set out and working night and day unceasingly for the restitution of all things. Many preachers have erroneously taught their congregations that Christ will set everything right after His Second Coming. But the Bible emphatically declares that Christ will not come back to earth unless everything in the house of God is set in order (Acts 3:21, NIV).
If you can catch this vision and dedicate yourself to work for the restitution of all things you can take it for granted that just the opposite of Luke 19:43-44 to happen to you. Your enemies shall be destroyed and your life and work eventually shall prosper because you recognized the plan of God for this generation. Amen, Hallelujah!
Be the first to react on this!
Bakht Singh (1903 - 2000)
He is often regarded as one of the most well-known bible teachers and preachers and pioneers of the Indian Church movements. He was India's foremost evangelist, preacher and indigenous church planter who founded churches based on New Testament principles. He began a worldwide indigenous church-planting movement in India that eventually saw more than 10,000 local churches. Norman Grubb missionary statesman, author and teacher: "In all my missionary experience I think these churches on their New Testament foundations are the nearest I have seen to a replica of the early church and a pattern for the birth and growth of the young churches in all the countries which we used to talk about as mission fields."Life of prayer. Brother Bakht Singh was a man of prayer. He spent hours upon his knees in communion with the Lord seeking the Lord's mind regarding His will concerning the work and ministry. Therefore, the Lord also honored him and blessed him beyond any human understanding. This is one of the reasons why the Lord has used him so mightily for the edification of His Body and for the extension of His glorious kingdom both in India and abroad.
