TIMING AND WAITING

Ecclesiastes 3:1

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Purpose is locked up in time. Time is the womb that carries purpose. In relation to purpose, nothing happens out of time.

Between the moments a woman takes seed and when she delivers the purpose of the seed she took (which is the offspring) is time. Irrespective of the signs of the pregnancy you may see, you need time to fully deliver to you a tangible purpose. Until time uncovers the birth of the purpose, you cannot do much with it. It becomes a weight that needs to be carried around carefully and painfully until time manifests it.

Under the heavens, there is a time to every purpose.

Fixed Timing of Purpose

Ecclesiastes 3:1, 2

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born and a time to die: a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted:

A fixed timing of purpose is where the timing of purpose is already set from the beginning. There are certain timings that God already set in motion hence the activities of man rarely tampers with this timing.

For instance, it is widely accepted that pregnancy takes 9 months to deliver its purpose. When pregnancy falls short of this timing, its product is premature. For the purpose of pregnancy to be fully developed, it needs to endure a 9-month process.

The timing of this purpose has been predetermined and anyone who gets pregnant must be willing to carry it for 9 months. There is no way you can deliver the purpose of pregnancy in 3 months no matter how hard or how high you pray. This timing does not depend on what man can do or what man does. There is little or nothing a person can do with fixed timing of purpose.

The most beneficial thing to do in the fixed timing of purpose is waiting or tarrying.

Waiting is not delaying. Delaying is the next step after waiting. When a purpose exceeds the time it is expected to happen, it has delayed. So when you wait, the vision does not delay; it does not exceed the period of waiting.

The vision shall not tarry beyond the period with which you are supposed to wait. Waiting is a sign of respect and trust to the process. In waiting, you grow ready for the day when it arrives.

Imagine if there was no fixed time for the arrival of babies when they are conceived. Your wife gets pregnant and in less than two weeks, your baby is born. That alone could get you crazy. But the time allocated to pregnancy enables you to be spiritually, emotionally, financially and psychologically ready, when the baby is born.
