THE POWER OF 'NOW' - Dr Segun Oshinaga

2 Samuel 3:18

"Now faith is..."

Heb 11:1

‘Now’ is your greatest opportunity. Your best shots ought to be taken now! Not later. Not tomorrow. Too many times we squander our ‘now’moments. Many oceans would have been crossed, many mountains moved and awesome miracles performed if only we handled our ‘now’ moments better.

The problem is that we often leave for later, ideas that strike us with such force that we could hardly stand, rather than go to work on them immediately. What we don’t seem to realize is that ideas come with the power and wisdom to make them function. Those powers that come with such ideas recede in intensity and capacity the longer we hold off in possessing them.

"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."

Ecclesiastes 9:10

Do it now! That idea you have been praying about, do it now! Make that phone call now! That book you want to write, start now! That business you want to start, do it now! ‘Now’ has miracle built into it. Make a move now.

May we learn to move with the cloud of glory. We often begin to work on ideas long after the ‘glow’ that came with them is gone. When God supplies an idea, He sends it with the power to make the idea ‘fly.’ When we refuse to work on it immediately, afterwards all we have is the ‘letter’ of the idea but the ‘spirit’ of the idea is gone along with the enabling authority and power.

I trust God that today will be the beginning of something awesome in your life as you start out on a limb, trusting God to carry you on the wings of His power.
