[0:00] Thank you for tuning into this message by David Entry. Every true revival is a product of the strong preaching of God's word. May you receive a word from this message that will spark a revival in you.

[0:14] Let me quickly talk about divine timing. Divine timing. When you study scriptures very carefully, you will see that there were a few Hebrew words and Greek words that were translated into English.

[0:37] So for instance, when it comes to praise, there are quite a few Hebrew words that their English language is not so rich to be able to have a word for every particular Hebrew word, particular within a certain group of words.

[0:54] So they just, for instance, Shabak, Tehillah, Todah, Zaman, Barak, Zaman, Barak, Hallel.

[1:05] They were all translated as praise. But they all have particular, yeah, you're right to translate them as praise, but they have particular meaning and expression.

[1:19] But the English language is not that rich, so it translated all of them praise. So Psalm 47 verse 1, it's a clap your hands, all you people, and shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

[1:30] That shout is Shabak. Shabak, right? So it's translated, it's a shout. But it's not just a shout. It's a victorial shout with God in your mind.

[1:42] And God is there. So in the same way, there are quite a few words that were in Greek. Listen, Greek for instance, when you talk about love, we have Stoige, Agape, Feleo. They all translated love in English.

[1:53] So there are quite a few Greek words that were translated as one English word. For instance, time, there are quite a few other Greek words. But I want to focus on two. We have the chronos.

[2:04] The chronos. Chronology, order of the way things appear. It stems out of the word chronos, which sometimes translated as time.

[2:16] So the order in which something appears. So we have the chronos time. And when you talk about chronos time, you are talking about minutes, hours, dates. You are talking about measurement of time.

[2:28] So when a woman is pregnant, nine months time she'll give birth. Right? So that nine months is chronos. It's the way things are measured. When you look at the calendar, the calendar tells you chronos.

[2:41] So today's date tells you chronos. Your date of birth tells you chronos. How long you have been living. How long something has been going on. It's just measurement of time. Okay?

[2:52] So days, dates, days, minutes, hours, they are all chronos. That's why we have something called chronometer. It just tells how long something has been going for.

[3:04] So, we have the chronos time. For instance, in Luke chapter one verse, 57. The lady was pregnant. And then, I will say that, now, Elizabeth's full time, do you understand what that means?

[3:17] That's chronos. After six months, no one gets pregnant for three years. So, the timing. So, when you go to the hospital and you're expecting, they should be able to calculate your due date.

[3:33] So, expected, you know, around this time. That's chronos. Right? So, we have chronos time. So, it tells you what time, for instance, this evening, what time the service starts in and then tomorrow, what time the service starts.

[3:47] So, that's how time, one time is called chronos and the other one is called kairos. Say kairos. Kairos. kairos is meaningful time, opportune time, a certain moment and the right time for something to happen.

[4:02] Right? So, that's very important. So, in Mark chapter 1, verse 15, it talks about, it said, the time is fulfilled. Alright? So, the time, the kingdom of God is at hand.

[4:14] You cannot use chronos to tell what time the kingdom of God has come. That one is, so, it's God who determines the timing.

[4:26] So, for instance, Galatians 4.4, you are very familiar with that text, isn't it? In the fullness of time, it's not chronos time, but kairos. So, kairos time, K-A-I-A-R-O-S.

[4:39] Kairos time, and then chronos is C-H-R-O-N-O-S. So, kairos time. Now, we operate with chronos and God operates with kairos.

[4:53] So, most of the time, God seems to be late, but he's always on time. Do you understand that?

[5:04] God seems to be late, but he's always on time. Why? The reason why we see God late is because we are using the different time scale. Our timing is not his timing.

[5:16] So, for instance, God says that I'm going to bless you with a wonderful international ministry. And he said it 15 years ago, and the way he said it, you knew next year you're about to fly around the world.

[5:35] So, after five years, you see other friends of yours flying around the world. God told you, it was prophesied to you that I'm going to give you a good husband.

[5:47] And then, you waited, you knew that this year he's talking about, or last year he's talking about, or three years ago, just after the COVID, or during the COVID, that encounter, encounter first.

[6:00] God is real, and God is, and the prophesied, maybe a word is given to you that you're going to have a baby, and you thought it was, or you're going to get married, and you thought it was, it was said in COVID time, and you knew, okay, 2021 is going to happen.

[6:19] 22 is going to happen. Now you're beginning to see, in fact, rather all your six friends are married. 2025 is coming, and you are beginning to have a heart problem, because, God, but God, you prophesied, God, God, you prophesied, God, yeah, he prophesied, but he's not late.

[6:37] You think he's late, he's not late, because he works with, a certain time, it's called, Kairos timing. Kairos timing, and when the Kairos timing comes, it happens, supernaturally.

[6:51] So, it's important to understand, there is a Kronos time, and a Kairos time. In Habakkuk chapter 2, verse 3, in Habakkuk chapter 2, verse 3, let's see how the scripture speaks.

[7:03] For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end, it shall speak. Say, it shall speak. Say, it shall speak. Do you know what gets my attention?

[7:14] It's not the end that it shall speak, but the next statement then, it shall not lie. Then it says, though it lingers. It's, the thing has lingered.

[7:26] It's lingered. That means, it has delayed. Why is it a vision? Now, that word, appointed time, the appointed time, is the Kairos time.

[7:37] There is a certain particular time in the economy of God, on the programming of God, that something is supposed to happen, based on God's purpose and agenda.

[7:51] It says that, but when you measured it with your Kronos, it has delayed. Then it says that, though it lingers, or it delays, wait for it, for it, it will certainly come to pass, and it will not delay.

[8:06] But you said, though it lingers. Though it delays. So there is a delayer, and there is a delayer. Yeah. Our, we are using Kronos to work with God, who uses Kairos.

[8:20] Wow. So let anyone tell you that your blood, your biological blood, your biological blood, is ticking. But Elizabeth was operating on a Kronos of God.

[8:35] Luke chapter 1, verse 20. It says that, and now you will be silent and not be able to speak until the day it happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come through at Kairos.

[8:54] Kairos, you are too old. So don't worry. There is a proper time a word is about to be fulfilled. Why am I talking about this? Because we have come to a Kairos moment of deliverance.

[9:07] Very interesting, in Psalm 102, verse 13, it talks about favor. And it says that, you will arise and have mercy on Zion.

[9:28] There's no Kronos. The time of favor. That means there's a time favor will not show up. Because not that set time.

[9:43] God has set the time and you see people getting favored. It looks like it's working for everybody. No, don't worry. Wait for your time. When you look at the scripture I'm about to quote is very likely to get you on spiritual steroids.

[10:02] This scripture is powerful. Isaiah chapter 60 verse 22 Let's start with the other.

[10:19] Let's go. A little one shall come out and fall and so shall be I, the Lord who has seen it in his A small one shall become a strong nation.

[10:39] A little It's not your size. A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation.

[10:52] I, the Lord will I wish I heard you say it louder. I, the Lord will I, the Lord will When Kairos time comes things happen fast.

[11:14] That's why I said put on your shoes because the victory is coming very quickly.

[11:27] Tell Ahab get down to Jezreel. Get down before the rain overtakes you because it's going to happen very quickly.

[11:39] quickly. Very quickly. In Acts chapter 2 verse 2 it said suddenly there came a sound from heaven.

[11:50] Listen when God is ready for you when your season comes it happens very quickly. Joseph was a man of quotes quotes quotes C O A T S quotes so when he was with his dad his dad made him a quote a quote of many callous but he was at a certain stage of his life where he didn't understand where God really had for him.

[12:28] Quotes that was when he was young he didn't really understand the dynamics of his destiny. Then his brothers took their quotes and put blood on it and put him in the pit.

[12:41] It's like all hell was broken loose. He didn't know where he was going. His destiny was shut. They took his quotes and spilled blood on him. That's another stage of your journey in God.

[12:56] It's a scene in your storyline. Then he found himself in Potiphar's wife and Potiphar's wife took his quotes.

[13:07] that this man tried to rape me. There's that evidence that rather when he was supposed to be promoted by God because it wasn't Kairos time.

[13:25] He obeyed God. He gave his tithe. He gave offerings. He sowed seeds. He did sacrifice. He saved in church. The first thing he didn't just do 21 days.

[13:37] He did a lot of dry ones. And yet he rather ended up in prison. Why? Because Kairos time hadn't come. The third quote was a quote of problem.

[13:51] There are stages in your work until day four. He was in prison. And in Psalm 105 verse 19. Psalm 105 verse 19 says that I think I have to hold my Bible.

[14:05] until Jesus until the time until the time that God's word sorry the word that God has given to him.

[14:20] He came until the time that the word came to pass. The Lord tested him. Then the king sent for him. So he was in prison until a certain time.

[14:31] when the time comes people will be wondering where have you been all this while. Because it comes so quick.

[14:44] But when you are in stage one they don't know about you. Stage two they never knew about you. Stage three they never knew about you. But when stage four comes and the king gives you a quote.

[15:00] It happens how? Very quickly. Very quickly. Bible says on the day of Pentacles they were together in one place and suddenly. In Acts chapter 16 verse 25 and they pray at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and suddenly.

[15:16] Suddenly. When you read the book of Mark you see this word that it came to pass immediately. Suddenly. Immediately. in the New Testament.

[15:27] In the era of Jesus. Jesus' time. It was suddenly. Suddenly. Suddenly. That's one of the scriptures. They were in the boat. And they were. We are drowning.

[15:38] We are drowning. And then Jesus appeared and the Bible said he stepped in. Suddenly they arrived. Immediately they were at the shore. When Jesus came on the boat immediately they were at the shore.

[15:51] But just a few moments to that they knew that they were dead. So when your carous moment comes. One of the things that happens is hasten in this time. Happens quickly.

[16:02] That's why you have to put on your shoes. Number two. When the carous moment comes. Favor comes on you. The people who didn't remember you suddenly they start dreaming about you.

[16:18] There's a man called Mordecaia in Esther chapter 6. Mordecaia one day from verse 1 Esther chapter 6. The king could not sleep.

[16:31] That night the king could not sleep. Do you know why? Carous moment has come for Mordecaia. Mordecaia saved the king's life and it was recorded in the chronicles.

[16:42] But nothing was done for him. Nothing. He was forgotten. Rather his enemy was promoted to harass him. His enemy was he saved the king.

[16:54] At least tell the king do something for me. At least I'm also entitled I'm equally labored. I've equally labored. I've suffered.

[17:05] This thing I'm also working later. Where's my portion? But see don't rush for your portion when carous time hasn't come. Mordecai was forgotten.

[17:20] When his time came the king could not sleep. He was lying on his bed. So he got up he went he said who is there? Bring me the books.

[17:31] And they brought him the records and the chronicles. And he was reading through his story that someone saved the king's life. It was recorded. It wasn't like no one saw it. It was recorded. But nobody did anything about it.

[17:42] Have you been forgotten? God is connecting you to favor. That's why I quoted the scripture in Psalm 102 verse 13.

[17:53] It said that for the set time the time to favor her has come. The set time. There is a time for favor. You have for the time to favor her.

[18:07] Yes the set time has come. There is a certain time when favor comes from everywhere. Suddenly somebody sees you and says how long have you been in this church?

[18:19] I've been here for 10 years. How come you have been hiding? Joseph was interpreting people's dreams. And Joseph tried to connect himself that please when you get to the king remember me.

[18:34] Bible said but he forgot about you. Do know why? Kairos die. Mother was ready to be promoted suddenly the king couldn't sleep.

[18:45] Read the chronicles and found what has been done for such a man? Who is that man? He called his enemy. The man's enemy. Come. He didn't know the man's enemy.

[18:56] Just go by randomly. come. Come. Come. Come. Come. What can we do for the one who the king wants to honor? He thought it was him. Let him and let somebody say go and do it for that man called Mordecai who saved my life.

[19:12] Because Kairos time has come. That was when the clock began changing. The tithes began turning in the favor of the Jews. The enemies thought they are finished with time.

[19:29] So when your Kairos time comes things happen fast. Get yourself ready. Number two when your Kairos time comes favor comes on you. God connects you to people who will help you. They are called destiny helpers.

[19:43] When it was time for Israel to leave Egypt after 400 years. Pharaoh said you don't go anyway. No no sorry you don't know. Pharaoh you are dealing with time. Kairos time.

[19:53] You are dealing with Kairos time. After 400 years when it was time for them to come out. Pharaoh was begging them please leave them go. Go.

[20:05] Your time has come. Let me just give you these five points in five minutes. What do you do in your Kairos moments? Number one prepare. There must be alertness.

[20:17] There must be readiness. Remember I been saying get ready. That's why we are fasting. That's why we are coming. Get ready. You are just getting yourself ready. Being high expectation that this year is the year.

[20:35] Somebody ask you how are you. Tell them this is the year I been waiting for. It has started. You don't have to see it before it shows up. When you read Genesis chapter one Bible says let there be light.

[20:49] That was day one.! It was day one. Let there be light. But where is the light coming from? Bible didn't tell us. There was no source. But light was there without a source.

[21:00] The sun came in on day four. So God speaks the light before the source shows up. And before the source shows up, walk with God. Walk with God. Don't wait for day four.

[21:12] Start walking in the! Oh! Start walking moon.

[21:22] When there is no stars. Yet you are walking in the light of day one. That's why the Bible says that faith is the substance. It's the reality.

[21:33] You have the reality. You don't have to see it. You just have it. It's real. So number one, expectation or preparation. Number two, attitude.

[21:45] Say attitude. You have to stop this negative attitude. Things are too bad. I don't know even me this whole fast after fast stop that attitude.

[21:56] Stop the negative attitude. Put it away. Bitterness. Bitter attitude. Resentment. Your attitude towards the work of God hasn't still changed.

[22:10] Your attitude towards preaching hasn't changed. Preaching is going on. are sitting down alloo. Stop that attitude. Change your attitude for a better attitude.

[22:24] Change. Change your attitude because you're about to take off. When you're in the plane, as soon as you bought the plane, you are free to put your luggage in the compartment, try and sit down.

[22:40] and the flight attendants will be working, walking around, helping people to settle. But when the plane is about to take off, they start walking in to tell everybody, excuse me, can you put on your seat belt?

[22:52] You cannot take off without putting on your seat belt. You have to change your attitude in a plane. If you want to recline your chair, no, you have to put the chair upright because we are about to take off.

[23:05] ! This is not the time. So you have to get yourself ready. You have to have an attitude of somebody who is really ready to take off. Your language must change. Sometimes you have to dress for your deliverance.

[23:20] They gathered their loins, they wore their shoes, they took their staff because they needed their staff for that receipt to open. So number two is attitude.

[23:31] Put away toxicity, negativity, guard don't allow yourself to be exposed to all kinds of nonsense that will not help your faith. It's about to kill your faith.

[23:42] So number three is association. When your time comes, there are some people you shouldn't associate. You have to change your association because you are about to embark on a glorious flight.

[23:57] I've traveled a few times and people see me off at the airport. My wife was traveling and loved her company. When we went to the airport, she checked in.

[24:09] I was with her. We were working together and she was going through security. They tell you only travelers beyond this point. You need a boarding pass to go beyond a certain point.

[24:20] So when you are about to board, you have your boarding pass. It gets to a place where you have to separate yourself from certain people who are not flying. They are not flying. Even in church conditions, there are some people you have to separate yourself.

[24:33] If you keep staying around them, you will never receive your miracle baby testimony. Some people, if you stay around them, your marital testimony will crash. They will crash.

[24:44] Some people, you have to be intentional because you are ready for a take-off. Association is key when it association.

[24:57] You have to be able to walk away from some things and to stay with some things. There are certain alliances that will not allow you to go to your next phase.

[25:11] Yeah. It won't allow you. There are people who are destiny haters. They hurt your destiny. They are destiny haters.

[25:23] They will hurt it or they will halt your destiny as long as they are with you. And there are others who are destiny helpers. If you are not willing to run away from Potiphar's wife, a destiny header, there's no way you are going to come out of prison to meet the one who introduced you to the king.

[25:45] Some of us have been saying let that X goes for your next level. Association. Number four is deal with fear.

[25:57] Fear trust God. Number five, put your faith in God. When the season comes, no dies, God is doing it. Don't put your confidence in, oh, I've been waiting, I've been waiting, no, I've been waiting, but God is my help.

[26:13] So it doesn't matter what you see, don't be afraid because you trust in the mercy of God. confession is the next point.

[26:25] Don't be in an atmosphere like this, I'm done with this place, and then after you go, we are just saying it. Life is actually, life is rough, you know, life is rough. I mean, I don't know how these things will change.

[26:37] Oh, maintain a confession that respects your promise. The promise you receive from God, there's a certain confession that will respect that promise.

[26:49] And then number five, obedience. Strike. Number six, obedience. Obey God. When your time comes to move, God says to the Israelites, eat the bread standing, or with your shoes on.

[27:06] Get ready to go. Get ready. If God says get ready, get ready. If God says jump, jump. If God says sacrifice, sacrifice. God will always make sure you can hear his voice.

[27:20] Even if you are dumb, you will know in your inner man, it looks like it's not coincidence. This is what you say in my heart. Satan will tell you, no, no, no, you can't take that step.

[27:32] But you have confirmation. when it's God. When your carous time comes, it doesn't just come on you. There are things you have to do to seize the moment.

[27:44] Your time has come. This is divine timing. Divine time. Did receive something. Thank you for listening to this message by David Entry.
