EXHORTATION FOR THIRD SUNDAY OF APRIL (19:04:2026)
SPEAKER: Elder Joel Asuquo
TRANSLATOR: Deacon Uduak Hanson
TOPIC: At the Appointed Time of God
TEXT: Habakkuk 2:3-4, Genesis 17:15-17, Genesis 21:1, Hebrews 6:15, Romans 8:28, Micah 7:7, Psalm 135:6*
APPOINTED: A fixed, predetermined time set by God. Not random.
TIME: A divinely chosen moment, a season of fulfillment.
God’s appointed time is His predetermined, perfect moment when purpose meets preparation. You don’t rush it, and you can’t stop it.
WHY GOD USES APPOINTED TIME:
1. To prove His Word is sure
2. To display His power in impossibility
3. To work all things together
ADVANTAGE OF MISSING GOD'S APPOINTED TIME
1. It guarantees fulfillment
2. It comes with divine backing
3. It produces testimony
DISADVANTAGE OF MISSING GOD'S APPOINTED TIME
1. Premature action births Ishmaels
2. Doubt and discouragement set in
3. You may forfeit peace
NOTES FOR THE WAITING SEASON:
1. Write the vision (Hab 2:2)
2. Endure like Abraham (Heb 6:15)
3. Look and wait intentionally (Micah 7:7)
4. Trust God’s sovereignty (Psalm 135:6).
5. Declare Romans 8:28 over the delay
CONCLUSION:
Genesis 21:1 is the proof: “The Lord visited Sarah as He had said.” He didn’t visit when Sarah thought. He visited when He said. Your appointed time is not on your wristwatch, it’s on God’s calendar.
