Chronos to Kairos Moments in Vision Fulfilment

UV 3654/10000 Chronos To Kairos Moments in Vision Fulfilment For the vision is yet for the appointed (future) time, it hurries toward the goal (of fulfilment); it will not fail. Even though it delays, wait (patiently) for it, because it will certainly come, it will not delay. Habakkuk 2 v 3 God has an appointed time for every vision to be fulfilled. The measurable time for human beings is “chronos” while the time God fulfills His promise is “Kairos”. The Lord promises in this uni-verse that “Kairos” will happen in due time. Till then we should wait patiently and faithfully. The uni-verse asserts that it will certainly happen. That even while we are waiting, the Lord is working behind the scenes to bring it to pass. He brings to pass that which we hope for, that which we earnestly seek, that which we need to encourage us. The vision needs to be precise. It needs to be written down. Though we hear it from the Spirit of God, we should take care to write it down in our journal for our remembrance and constant prayer. We must not remain inert or inactive but run with the vision. We should run towards the fulfilment of the vision. It implies that we should do all that lies with us to enable the vision to be fulfilled. We should not try to get ahead of the Lord or the Holy Spirit but run along side. The moment the Lord is intervening in our lives, modifying our plans is the Kairos moment and we should not resent or resist it. We need to be sensitive and yield to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. The Lord is so humble and kind that He literally becomes our co-worker in whatever vision we are pursuing. If it is fishing, He will teach us how to fish better, if it is writing, He will inspire us with ideas, if it is policing, He give us intuition to deduce things from the clues available. If it is teaching, He gives us new ideas and clarity of concepts. The Lord has a plan to prosper us, to give us hope and a future. The enemy in contrast has a plan to harm us, to rob our peace, to kill our hope. We should be aware of the latter and cling or cleave to the Lord and His word. Whatever we need to do in the natural, rational or physical world, we need to plan and do it. Simultaneously, the Lord is working things beyond our senses to perceive to fulfill His plan, His vision for our lives. We need to be persistent and work diligently as if everything depends on our efforts but we also need to believe that everything depends on the grace of the Lord. His power works in us and not just outside us. His power working in us and for us is able to do far more than we think, imagine or ask.
