Trusting on God’s timing
Key verses: 1 Samuel 24: 1-22,
Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Key thought: There is an appointed season when God fulfils his promises, it is imperative to access what God has in store for us in the right manner and at the right time.
Kairos – an appointed time when all conditions are right, it is not just about time but ‘a decisive time for God’s action NIV Study Bible Incorporating timing in the purposes of God is very important, many times God will prepare us by waiting so that we can be perfected for the task that is ahead.

- Not all opportunities are genuine opportunities, some are traps by the enemy.
- Exercise patience
- Restraint or self-control is a powerful virtue in life that demonstrates patience.
- Follow the path of integrity
- How we get to the place of destiny is as important as the promise itself.
- Trust the Lord to do right
- God will do his part; we cannot substitute what He only can do for our actions
