0:41 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA.

0:49 Speaker 2: Hey, are you looking at your life and you're saying, John, I'm praying and believing and fasting and going the extra mile. I'm doing my very best. I know I'm doing everything that I'm supposed to do. But still I'm not seeing the miracle that I'm hoping for. I'm not seeing my prayers getting answered. I'm not seeing the progress in my life. Are you saying, John, those people they don't even believe in God. They are not even as faithful to God as I am. I'm serving God faithfully. I am doing the very best.

1:18 Speaker 2: I am praying and I am really walking by faith. But still, John, I don't understand why God is not handswering my prayers. Are you saying, John? People are laughing at me, They're mocking at me. They're even asking me, you know, what is the use of you following God or obeying God's call over your life when your life is such a mess. See when we think about in the scripture, there's a classic moment in the scripture when God called Abraham and gave him great promises. In fact, God even changed his name to Abraham from Abraham to say that you are going to be the father of many nations.

1:52 Speaker 2: Here's the thing I wanted to understand. God had called him as the father of many nations, but Abraham was struggling to get even a single child. You may be saying, John, God has given me this big calling, but look at my life. Even the simple thing is not working out in my life. See, God gave me the call to start an international ministry, and by fate I called it John gifta international But there were times when people used to laugh and walk at me, saying, you're not even getting an opportunity to preach in your own city or you're not even getting chance to preach in your own church, and you're calling yourself John.

2:27 Speaker 2: If the international you want to invite me to your church, you can do that. Okay. I'm just saying. Here's the thing I want to understand. The Bible says in Genesis to anyone, verse one, the Lord kept his word and did for Sarah exactly what he promised. And I want to just go to the last part of this verse. In verse two. It says this happened at just the time God had said it would. See. God gave the promise to Abraham and Sarah that they will have you known after them. But you're sitting about it.

3:01 Speaker 2: Understand, in reality, it looked like it was not happening. But the Word says that God was faithful to keep his promise at his appointed time. See, this program is scheduled for seven pm on New Hope TV every Friday. I want you to understand that same way, there is an appointed time when this program will be telecasted. There is an appointed time when God is going to show up in your life. When God gave you that promise, he also set an appointed time when that promise will come to pass. When God showed you that vision.

3:34 Speaker 2: There's an appointed time when that vision will become a reality in your life. So today my challenge is don't look at what everybody else is experiencing and saying, oh, they're walking in the miracles I'm hoping for. Just know that you have an appointed time by God. See after thirteen years after starting my ministry, this was the first time I got opportunity to preach outside of India in Sri Lanka, and more opportunities start coming up where I started ministring. Here's the thing I ordered to understand.

4:03 Speaker 2: When God gave me the promise, it looked like it was not coming to pass. It looked like I was looking like a food. But years later the promise came to pass. Just like he did for Abraham, he did it for me, and he will do it for you. In Jesus Name, Amen, God, help us to trust you and believe in you for the appointed time that you have set for us and for a miracles. In Jesus Name.
