God’s time schedule



Acts 3:1 After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

 What would happen if the same blessing of evangelism that came upon the Early Church came upon us today? What would happen if 3,000 people flooded the church? Undoubtedly, the church would live and the field would live along with it. In order to receive this Biblical answer, there is a definitive time schedule of God that we ought not to lose hold of.




1. What must take place first
 First, we need spiritual leisure. When we are alone, we need to have spiritual leisure toward God. Herein lies the reason for doing scheduled and continuous prayer. This is the first aspect the Remnants must restore. Second, before we go to the field, we need to realize the answers that have already come. Third, before we see God’s time schedule, we need to be able to see the people around us. No matter how trivial people look, there is a definitive plan of God for everyone. Additionally, no matter how much work we take on, we cannot lose hold of the fundamental essence.




2. The time schedule of God
 First, our time schedule will change according to how much we are enjoying Christ when we are alone, how deeply we are rooted in the kingdom of God and how much of the filling of the Holy Spirit we are enjoying. Second, when faced with problems or difficulties, our time schedules will change according to how much of it we see as our answer. As we do the evangelism movement, all difficulties and problems that arise are all within God’s time schedule. If we see problems as problems, we cannot help but to lose, but if we see answers within those problems, it is the time schedule of God. Third, historic answers will await us when we make efforts to receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit.




3. The power of going together
 Because evangelists are those who must do world evangelization together, they cannot dwell on their own limitations. They must absolutely break down their own barriers and enlarge their vessels. In order to do so, they must abandon all their wrong motives. They must have a new purpose and a holy purpose that is centered on evangelism.
