Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in DUE TIME. 1 Peter 5:6 NIV
When men lift you up, they can only do it to the length of their hands. What do I mean by this? They can only lift you up to their capacity, their abilities or to the extent they have connections.
On the other hand, when God lifts a man...hum... you can never imagine to what level and extent God can take him to. You can notice that in the case of Joseph from the prison to the palace, or Mordecai from the gate to second in command.
There is always a Due Time with God. It is called the right time, the correct time, the proper time, the set time or the fullness of time. They all mean the same thing. God works with His own time.
In your time of lifting no man or devil from hell can stop it. Somebody said you can't stop an event whose time has come. Therefore it is not time to give up, your due time is coming.
The problem is not in the lifting, the problem is knowing your Right Time. If you come before your time, you will not be recognized, you will not make the right impact and you will not be celebrated.
I pray for you today that you will not miss your due time, and I pray for you that you will not come before your time, I also pray that you will recover your lost time in Jesus name (Amen).
