THE DISCIPLE AND TIME
Although the disciple A conscious of time. is a man of eternity, he is conscious of time.
Time to Plant
In Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, the Bible says, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. A time to be born, and a time to dis; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;”
The disciple must know that there is a time to plant and a time to uproot. What can a disciple plant? Luke 8:11- “Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.”
The seed to be planted gently and tenderly into the earth of men is the word of God and not fables and stories. We plant the word of God by witnessing to believers and encouraging fellow believers. The disciple must plant the word at least once in a day,
witness at least once in a day and encourage a fellow Christian once a day.
A Time to Uproot
The disciple must know how to uproot violently and relentlessly. In Matthew 15:13, the Bible says: “But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.”
The disciple must uproot every plant that the Father has not planted, such as demons. In Mark 16:17, the Bible tells us to cast out demons. Therefore, do not compromise; uproot them and throw them out.
Time to Kill
In Ecclesiastes 3:3, the Bible says:
“A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;”
There is a time to kill and a time to restore life. The disciple knows when to kill and when to bring to life. He knows that snakes, cockroaches, spiritual and physical germs should be killed. All those things that want to drag you back from your Christian way must be destroyed. For example, lust of the flesh, bad habits etc. All hindrances, both physical and spiritual must be removed (e. g. appetite).
For example, in I Samuel 15:1-3. God told out the entire nation of the were germs Amalekites
and In Acts 5:1-14, Ananias and Saphira were uprooted so that the body of Christ could be healthy. And as a result of this removal, the Bible says multitudes were added to the Church. The church grew astronomically. If you don’t kill the germ and sickness, the body of Christ will not grow.
Another example is in Judges 2:1-3. God Israelites to kill the nations they were going to these nations would grow and become came but they refused to do so. As a result, God said flesh. One of the tribes which they refused to destroy were the people of Gath, where Goliath later; he was a man who terrorized them for forty ye We wonder why God didn’t send David earlier before the 40 years. It is because He had Israelites to remove the germs but they refused and ‘Germs’ grew into giants. forewarned from y
In Joshua 11:21-22, God told them to wipe out those that were not of God. They left Gaza, Gath and Ashdod alone. In I Samuel 17:4, we see the result this. There is a time to plant and a time to uproot. You must know this.
When you want to build a house, a lot of uprooting and pulling down has to be done between the period when you get the approved plan and when you completed the house. For example, trees have to be uprooted, the ground must be dug in order to build the foundation, rocks have to be split, and trees carved into furniture
Even iron ore must be smelt into iron sheets. The disciple knows that the stronghold of the enemy must be pulled down for him in (disciple) to be built up, Everything in your life that is not according to the will of God has to go. They must be pulled down (2 Corinthians 10:3 – 5 ) You must pull down all the strongholds of the enemy. It is only then, that you can continue to build and you can live a successful Christian life, so that your ministry may continue to grow.
Prayer
Talk to the Almighty concerning all the strongholds of the enemy in your life. Decree that every stronghold of the enemy in your life must be pulled down.
Every plant which is not of God must be uprooted, so that you can be healthy both in spirit, soul and body.
