TIME OF MANIFESTATION

“For the earnest expectation of the creature waited for the MANIFESTATION of the sons of God.“
Romans 8:19 (KJV)

• Time of manifestation is the time of fulfillment of God’s promises.
IT is the set time, the time of favour:
“Thou wilt arise and have pity on zion; IT IS THE TIME TO FAVOUR HER; THE APPOINTED TIME HAS COME" (Psalm 102:13 (RSV).

• It is also the time of spiritual awakening, time of emancipation, or time of showing: “And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel" (Luke 1:80 (KJV).
• There is a time to be in the deserts, in the hidings, and there is a time of showing, manifestation.
  Revised standard version says, “…and he was in the Wilderness till the day of his manifestation to Israel" (Luke 1:80).

• Purpose:

• God sent you to the planet earth for a purpose.
  AND in fulfilling a purpose, you must understand timing.
• God has plans for what He does. He is not haphazard.
  IN your journey in life, you will pass through different times and seasons—different stages of life (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
• Many want to fulfill purpose, that is, manifest without proper relationship with God.
• To manifest, fulfil purpose, your relationship with God has to be intact. - You acknowledge that you are a sinner and need Jesus Christ in order to reconcile with God, “FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD” (Romans 3:23).

"that if you CONFESS with your mouth the Lord JESUS and BELIEVE in your HEART that God has RAISED Him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED.”
Romans 10:9 (NKJV)

• Christianity is about a relationship with God, we are called to walk in the fellowship with God.
• When you believe that Jesus died for your sin and resurrected for your justification, and confess it with your mouth, you become a Christian (Romans 4:25; 10:9,10).

• New Birth

• At new birth, God takes over the affairs of your life.
  HE is interested in all you do: your career, marriage, outlooks, and the friendship you cultivated, that is, relationships with others; And every department of your life.
• In your relationship with Him, that is, fellowship: He Begins to lead and guide you on whatever you do.
• However, man being a free moral BEING, has the power of WILL or choices, and God respects our choices and wills.
• You can choose to submit to His leading or not.
  IF you submitted to His directions, guides, you will experience peace, blessings, and favour; but if you disregarded or disagreed, you will see the negative side.
• God will reveal His plans and purposes to you in the place of fellowship: “For as many as are led by the SPIRIT of God, they are the sons of God” (Romans 8:14).
• If you belong to God, it means He is interested in your life, hence be serious with your Christian life.
• Manifestation comes through discovery of purpose.

• The Truth is:
You cannot continue in sin and say grace should abound, No.

• A sister of marriageable age who wants to manifest in marriage will not make herself cheap for every man to sleep with, likewise a man who wants fulfillment in marriage will not go about fooling around or fornicating.
  SIN limits one’s progress in the journey of life.
  SIN hinders God’s plans for one and abort purposes.

• Fellowship

• If your fellowship with God is strong, healthy and cordial, you begin to see things in God’s point of view.
• At this, you are set for exploits—manifestation: “…but the people that do know their God Shall be strong, and do exploits” (Daniel 11:32).

-> To fulfil purpose, that is, to manifest, pay attention to these:

• Be focus on whatever you do.
Discover God’s plan and focus on it—whatever He wants you to do.
IT is when you do what He wanted you to do that you become what He wanted you to be.

• Integrity: Integrity is the quality of being honest and upright in character. BE Honest in all you do.
DO not be involved in shady deals because of money.
DO A clean Business.
GOD will not put His blessing in whatever is not right.
YOU can be blessed without being dubious.
A deceiver can not go far.

• Be kingdom Minded

• Let things of the Kingdom be your utmost priority: “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and righteousness, all other things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33).
  ALSO use your time for God (Ecclesiastes 12:1).
• Be part of the workforce in your local church.
  YOU should not be idle in God’s vineyard.
  IF you serve Him, He will distinguish you: “Then Shall ye return, and DISCERN between the righteous and wicked, BETWEEN HIM THAT SERVETH GOD AND HIM THAT SERVETH HIM NOT" (Malachi 3:18 (KJV).
• Many want God’s blessings and favour, but they are not ready to sacrifice anything for Him and His Kingdom on earth.
• Be relevant in God’s vineyard.
  USE your gifts to serve, both your vocational gift and natural endowments or ability.
• Give your money to God.
  TO manifest financially and materially, you have to be a giver.
  GIVE for the expansion of God’s Kingdom on earth 🌍.
• Types of Giving:
  ~ Tithe: the ten percent of your income (Malachi 3:10-12).
  ~ Offerings:
  PROJECTS Offering
  WORSHIP Offering
  LOVE offering—for the needy
  PROPHET offering

SACRIFICING offering—you sacrifice what is precious to you, in order to get what you want from God, or establish a covenant with Him.

• Work

• You need to be diligent in your work. YOU will stand before kings if you are diligent in What you are doing (Proverbs 22:29).
• There is no short-cut to success in life than to work smart and hard. Somebody said, Short-cut will cut you short.
• Do not be a novice in your field. Nobody wants to patronize a quack. DEVELOP your skill in the area of your operation.
  IF you need to learn more, or further your education to enhance your skill, do, it shall be well with you.

-> What can hinder manifestations or fulfillment:

• Sin—deal with any sin in your life.
SIN will make you sink and stink, avoid it.
• Rebellion to God and the delegated authorities.
WHEN you rebel against your pastor, parents, boss, you despise God’s delegated authorities over your life, it will hinder your manifestation (Hebrews 13:7,17).

• As you pay attention to the things we have shared in this piece, you will manifest in Jesus name.

"Meditate on these things; GIVE YOURSELF ENTIRELY TO THEM, THAT YOUR PROGRESS MAY BE EVIDENT TO ALL."
1 Timothy 4:15 (NKJV)

• It is a new day for you in Jesus name. And
It is your turn to shine in Jesus' name.
Peace!
