Waiting For Your Time;.God's Perfect Timing.- (Late Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade is pictured with then Prince Adeyeye Ogunwusi)

Late Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade is pictured with then Prince Adeyeye Ogunwusi, now the 51st Ooni of Ife. This perfectly illustrates  why you need to wait for your time
How hard it can be to trust in God’s timing. We are a people who want what we want and would prefer it right now. Sometimes it seems as if we are not even on God’s clock. Yet, there is never a time in which He is not aware of the desires of our hearts. He does, however, know better than we do, whether what we want to happen, is necessary or good for us. Sometimes his timing may be just the amount we need to see that what we thought we needed, we never did, or that the waiting made the receiving that much better. His timing will always be perfect, even when our trust in it is not. Read on for some verses of assurance that, in His time, your time will come.

Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint

There are many times in our lives when we wish things would move along a little more quickly. Perhaps we are in a difficult season, and we just want it to be over as soon as possible. Though it is natural to want to look ahead, we run the risk of missing the things God needs us to see at this time. Time is never meaningless for Him and if we try to jump ahead, we may not learn the very lessons that will so benefit us in the season to come. He is not ignoring us when time seems to stand still, but rather keeping us in the present so we may prepare for the upcoming season.


Acts 1:7  He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.


There's one that married as a virgin and 'waited' ten years before having a child yet there is another who had had series of abortion
before marriage yet gave birth after nine months.

There is one that graduated at the age of 22 yet waited 5 years before securing a job, yet there is another who graduated at the age of 27 and secured employment immediately.

There is one who became a CEO at the age of 25 and died at the age of 50, there is another
who became a CEO at the age of 50 and lived to 100, both worked based on 'Time Zone' and some just happen to have everything work fast
for them.
Work based on your 'lane'.



Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens

Colleagues, friends, associates, younger one(s)
might have gone ahead of you. 

Don't envy them, it's their 'Time Zone' yours too will come.

Just hold on and be strong, it won't be long, everything is gonna be alright.

"I returned and saw under the sun that the race
is not to the swift nor the battle to the wise nor riches to men of understanding nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance
happeneth to them all"
Ecclesiastes 9:11.


If we are being our most honest selves, I think we all can admit that there is an ache that lies within each of us-a feeling of longing that never truly goes away. This empty spot, placed there by God, as a reminder that we are not yet home, and a memory of a Father so loving that we would fight to return to Him. This has been set in our heart so that we will spend our time here, doing everything we can to get back there. It is on this journey that we grow in beauty and upon reaching the end, see our true selves in Him. The self we cannot yet fathom, because we have not yet seen the end.



Ecclesiastes 3:11  He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end
