AWARENESS - Knowing The Planned Time Series 001
Ecclesiastes 9:12, KJV
"For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them."
God wants you to be aware. Without awareness, you will be carried away. Lack of awareness of the time that has come upon the fishes made them to be caught in an evil net and lack of awareness of the time that has come upon the birds make them to be trapped in a snare. They therefore become victims. Only if they had received a notification from somewhere, the fishes would have gone to hide in the deep and the birds would have rested in their nests for that day. They wouldn't have embarked on a journey that'll get them trapped. However, they just didn't know what time has come upon them.
When you lack awareness of the time that has come or is coming upon you, you're made to look like a fool because events of life (evil ones) will just fall on you like that. You'll look like an unprepared and unprotected man. What could have been different if you had known and taken cover would just sweep you away like that. It is always painful when what we should execute now executes us. As such, God wants you to know! You must have awareness and at all times.
For this cause, God wants to baptize you with awareness. Awareness is knowing and it doesn't come cheaply. Awareness or sensitivity comes by spending time with God. When you spend time before God in prayer, study of God's Word and fasting, without even asking, a part of God's plan and future events would sip into your spirit. It might seem natural to you or like something you didn't labour for but it is not. If you had not been in God's presence consistently, you wouldn't have been open to such information. But that'll be God sensitizing you to what you should do. It will include steps and plans.
Henceforth, you'll not only sleep and wake up like you slept again. You'll wake up with knowings of what's to come. The future will break open before you even while awake and conscious. You will just understand. When you say you know and you're asked how you knew, you might not be able to tell the how specifically but the fact that you know will be confirm assuredly when the event you said you knew come to pass. Today, you're exempted from the camp of those who don't know. As you resolutely and commitedly fellowship with God on daily basis, even if that'll only be through the practice of a devotional habit, God shall bring you knowing and information that'll keep you standing when others have been blown away! You know and will always know!
PRAYER: Draw me nearer Lord! Draw me closer to fellowship and communion with you. May I see my relationship with you as life and as a crux for knowing.
