The key question that arises is, what happens when it is one’s turn? How does one ascertain that it is truly his/her turn or set time? Many things indeed take place which will show that it is your turn.
Events that Happen When It is Your Turn
Circumstances and conditions often present themselves to show it is your turn. From scriptural studies and understanding, here are some of the things that will show it is somebody’s turn.
- Divine Remembrance: God remembers you and your case is brought up before the Lord. When the set time for Rachel came, the Lord remembered her and she conceived and gave birth to a son, Joseph, (Genesis 30:22) and God took away her reproach. God similarly caused her son, Joseph, to be remembered by giving Pharaoh a troubling dream that no one in the land of Egypt could interpret until Pharaoh’s servant, the chief butler, remembered Joseph and he was called upon and taken out of the prison to interpret Pharaoh’s dream. Joseph was divinely lifted to become second in command to Pharaoh and the de facto ruler of Egypt. (Read the story in Genesis 41:1-57). God will make your divine helpers to remember you early this very season in the mighty name of Jesus. The Lord who withdrew sleep from the king until he remembered Mordecai because it was his turn to see the downfall of his enemy, Haman, will likewise cause you to be remembered in high quarters by the high and mighty in the land this very season in Jesus’ name. (Esther 6:1-11).
- Divine Location: God will locate you directly or through a messenger, usually by His word, when it is your turn. When the set time came for Joseph for his dreams to be actualised, the messenger of Pharaoh hastily came for him in the prison and he was taken to the palace and brought before Pharaoh. This was, of course, after he had been shaved and clothed in a befitting garment to stand before Pharaoh. May the Lord locate you by His word of transformation that will gloriously change your life and reposition you for great exploits this season in Jesus’ name. David was sent for, located where he was tending the sheep of his father in the bush and brought right home to be anointed by Samuel (1 Samuel 16:11-13). God also relocated him (David) to the battlefront where his talents and anointing for great exploits could be appropriately utilized. (1 Samuel 17:15-51). I pray that God will take you to the very place of victory and give you a glorious conquest against enemy forces in the mighty name of Jesus. Every Goliath that rises against you shall be slaughtered and destroyed in Jesus’ name.
- Divine Attention and Visitation: Abraham, the father of faith, enjoyed divine attention richly, and when time had fully come for God to activate the longstanding promise of giving him and Sarah a son, the Lord visited them right in their home (Genesis 18:1-15).
In Mark 10:46-52, we have an interesting story of the Lord Jesus Christ’s visit to Jericho but with no record of Him performing any tangible work inside the city until He was on His way out where a blind man cried for His attention. Though being sternly rebuked to shut up his mouth, the man, Bartimaeus, kept shouting until he gained heaven’s attention, and Jesus commanded that he should be brought to Him, as it obviously became his turn to receive a miracle. This obviously must have been the reason or one of the reasons that brought the Lord to Jericho, because there is no accident with the ever-purposeful God and no mention was made of any other work He did at Jericho, except this particular one of restoring sight to Bartimaeus. Someone reading this book now will command the Lord’s attention straight away and be ushered into His presence for the opening of your eyes. You will start to see clearly into the realm of the Spirit in Jesus’ name.
Zacchaeus (in Luke 19:1-10) sought to see Jesus in spite of his small stature. He made efforts and gracefully received the Lord’s attention and also enjoyed divine visitation that day. It is your turn today in Jesus’ name.
- Divine Calling: When it was David’s turn to be anointed king of Israel to replace Saul, not only did he receive heavenly attention, but God commanded His Prophet, Samuel, to visit his household. He was not at home but in the bush tending his father’s sheep when the prophet got there. The father had considered him unfit or too young to be anointed a king, so he was not called to be present at the meeting. After all his brothers had been rejected by the Lord, Samuel commanded that no one should sit down until they had gone and called him to be present at that meeting without delay. A man may not seem qualified but when it is your turn, heaven will place Christ’s calling upon you and also empower you appropriately (1 Samuel 16:1-13)
- Uncommon Divine Favour and Blessings
- Favour with God and Man: When it is your turn, you’ll enjoy favour with God and favour with man. On the other hand, when it is not your turn, your efforts will lack divine favour and therefore, will not yield expected or satisfactory results. Yes! This is clear from God’s word (Psalm 102:13).
- Blessings from God: You enjoy God’s blessings on many fronts and in different ways because you are set and positioned for diverse blessings. Heaven looks towards you and blessings come your way (Deuteronomy 28:2-6). The Lord will make the lines to fall unto you in pleasant places, as it is written in Psalm 16:6.
- Longstanding Promises are Fulfilled: Concerning Abraham and Sarah, the day their turn finally come to give birth to the promised child from God, the longstanding promise of God to them was changed to a decree for instant realization, and that ended their waiting because Sarah conceived and gave birth to Isaac as the Lord had decreed. Genesis 18:10, 13-14, Genesis 21:1-3,5-6.
- Sanctification and Empowerment: when it is your turn, God sanctifies and empowers you for the assignment that is being committed into your hands as in the case of Isaiah in Isaiah 6:1-8.
- The Lord Arises for You: Captivity is broken and slavery is overturned. As it happened in the case of the Israelites when they left Egypt and sang a new song of victory. (Exodus 15:1-21).
You are gloriously repositioned and envisioned.
