“I The LORD Will Hasten It In His Time”

(Isaiah 60:22)

God’s Timing Is Always Perfect

Brethren and friends, hear the Word of the Lord: “I the LORD will hasten it in his time” (Isa. 60:22). What a promise! The word hasten means to make it happen quickly, to bring it to pass without delay when the right time comes. It does not mean God is slow, nor that He has forgotten. It means His clock is not like ours. “One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” (2 Pet. 3:8). He is never late. He is never early. He is always on time.

 

The God Who Keeps His Word

Think about the promise of a Savior. From the moment man sinned, God spoke of One to come — “the seed of the woman” (Gen. 3:15). Centuries passed. Nations rose and fell. Prophets preached and were rejected. Yet, when the right moment came, Paul says, “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son” (Gal. 4:4). Brethren, if God kept that promise in His time, do you doubt He will keep the promises yet before us? He said Christ would come the first time, and He did. He says Christ will come the second time — and He will.

 

God’s Time Is Not Our Time

You may be waiting for answers in your life. Maybe your prayers seem unheard. Maybe you think God has forgotten you. Brethren, He has not. The Lord said, “I will hasten it in his time.” Not your time. Not my time. His time. He knows when you are ready. He knows what will glorify Him best. “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart” (Ps. 27:14). Do not give up. Do not grow weary. Trust His timing, for He makes all things beautiful in His time (Eccl. 3:11).

 

When God’s Time Comes, Nothing Can Stop It

Look again at the text. The LORD Himself says, “I will hasten it.” Who can hinder the Almighty? When the appointed time arrived for Israel to leave Egypt, no Pharaoh could hold them back. When the day of Pentecost was fully come, not even the unbelief of men could prevent the outpouring of the Spirit and the establishment of Christ’s church (Acts 2:1–4, 47). When Christ returns, no scoffer, no skeptic, no atheist, no hypocrite will delay Him one second. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout” (1 Thess. 4:16).

 

The Urgency of God’s Time for You

But brethren, here is where it pierces the heart: God’s time for you is not endless. The prophet said, “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near” (Isa. 55:6). There is a window of mercy — but it will not stay open forever. Felix trembled under Paul’s preaching and said, “Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee” (Acts 24:25). That convenient season never came. How many souls today are waiting for a “better time” — not knowing that God’s time is now?

 

Now Is the Accepted Time

Hear the apostle Paul: “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Cor. 6:2). Not tomorrow. Not next week. Today. God says, “I will hasten it in his time” — and His time for your soul’s salvation is now. Will you harden your heart, or will you obey while the door of grace is open?

 

The Call to Obedience

Brethren and friends, what must you do? The same answer was given in Acts 2:37–38, when men, cut to the heart, asked, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” The reply was clear: “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.” That is how the Lord adds you to His church (Acts 2:41, 47). That is how you pass from death to life.

And to you, brethren already in Christ: if you have drifted, if sin has crept in, if you have been waiting to “get serious later” — God is telling you, later may never come. His time is now. Repent, confess, and return to Him, for He is faithful and just to forgive (1 John 1:9).

 

Conclusion: His Time Will Come — Are You Ready?

The day is coming when God will hasten the final act of history. The trumpet will sound. The dead will rise. Judgment will be set. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ” (2 Cor. 5:10). Brethren, that day will not delay. The question is not if it comes, but when. And when it does, will you be ready?

The Lord says, “I the LORD will hasten it in his time.” His time may be today. Will you obey Him now?

 

Invitation:

  • If you believe that Jesus is the Christ, repent of your sins, confess Him before men, and be baptized into His death that you may rise to new life (Rom. 6:3–4).
  • If you are already a Christian but have grown cold, repent and return. Do not delay.

Brethren, His time is sure. His promise is true. The question that remains is: Will you be ready when He hastens it?

“Akong Panginoon, Ay Papapangyarihin Kong Madali Sa Kapanahunan”

(Isaias 60:22)

Ang Panahon ng Diyos ay Laging Ganap

Mga kapatid at mga kaibigan, pakinggan ninyo ang salita ng Panginoon: “…Akong Panginoon, ay papapangyarihin kong madali sa kapanahunan.” (Isa. 60:22). Anong dakilang pangako! Ang salitang papapangyarihin ay nangangahulugang padadaliin, ipatutupad, at isasakatuparan nang walang pagkabalam kapag dumating na ang tamang panahon. Hindi ibig sabihin na ang Diyos ay nahuhuli, ni nakakalimot. Ang kahulugan: ang orasan ng Diyos ay hindi katulad ng atin. “Ang isang araw sa Panginoon ay katulad ng isang libong taon, at ang isang libong taon ay katulad ng isang araw” (2 Ped. 3:8). Siya’y hindi nahuhuli. Siya’y hindi napa­paaga. Siya’y laging nasa tamang oras.

 

Ang Diyos na Tapat sa Kaniyang Salita

Isipin ninyo ang pangako tungkol sa Tagapagligtas. Mula nang magkasala ang tao, ipinahayag na ng Diyos ang darating na binhi ng babae (Gen. 3:15). Dumaan ang mga dantaon. Bumangon at bumagsak ang mga bansa. Nangaral ang mga propeta at sila’y itinakwil. Subalit nang dumating ang takdang panahon, sinabi ni Pablo: “Datapuwa’t nang dumating ang kapanahunan, ay sinugo ng Dios ang kaniyang Anak” (Gal. 4:4). Mga kapatid, kung tinupad ng Diyos ang pangakong iyon sa Kaniyang oras, duda ba tayo na tutuparin Niya rin ang mga pangakong nasa hinaharap? Dumating ang Cristo sa unang pagkakataon ayon sa salita ng Diyos; Siya rin ay darating sa ikalawa ayon sa salita ng Diyos.

 

Hindi Panahon Natin, Kundi Panahon ng Diyos

Marahil ikaw ay naghihintay ng kasagutan sa iyong panalangin. Marahil pakiramdam mo ay hindi ka pinapansin ng Diyos. Mga kapatid, hindi Siya nakalilimot. Ang sabi Niya: “papapangyarihin kong madali sa kapanahunan.” Hindi sa oras mo. Hindi sa oras ko. Sa oras Niya. Alam Niya kung kailan ka handa. Alam Niya kung anong oras Siya maluluwalhati. “Magantay ka sa Panginoon: ikaw ay magpakalakas, at magdalang tapang ang iyong puso” (Awit 27:14). Huwag kang bibitiw. Huwag kang manghihina. Magtiwala ka sa oras ng Diyos, sapagkat ginagawa Niya ang lahat na maganda sa kaniyang kapanahunan (Ecles. 3:11).

 

Kapag Dumating ang Panahon ng Diyos, Walang Makapipigil

Muli nating pakinggan: “Akong Panginoon, ay papapangyarihin.” Sino ang makahahadlang sa Makapangyarihan? Nang dumating ang oras para ilabas ang Israel mula sa Egipto, walang Faraon ang nakapigil. Nang sumapit ang araw ng Pentecostes, kahit hindi maniwala ang marami, walang nakapigil sa pagbuhos ng Espiritu at pagtatatag ng iglesia ni Cristo (Gawa 2:1–4, 47). At kapag dumating si Cristo sa ikalawang pagkakataon, walang manglilibak, walang ateista, walang mapagkunwari ang makapagpapabagal kahit isang saglit. “Sapagka't ang Panginoon din ang bababang mula sa langit, na may isang sigaw” (1 Tes. 4:16).

 

Ang Kapanahunan ng Diyos Para sa Iyo

Ngunit dito, mga kapatid, ito’y tumatagos sa puso: ang panahon ng pag-aantay ng Diyos para sayo ay hindi walang hanggan. Ang sabi ng propeta: “Inyong hanapin ang Panginoon samantalang siya'y masusumpungan, magsitawag kayo sa kaniya samantalang siya'y malapit” (Isa. 55:6). May takdang panahon ng awa — ngunit hindi iyon palaging bukas. Si Felix ay nanginig sa pangangaral ni Pablo at nagsabi: “Ngayo'y humayo ka; at pagkakaroon ko ng kaukulang panahon ay ipatatawag kita.” (Gawa 24:25). Ang “kaukulang panahon” na iyon ay hindi na dumating. Ilan kaya ngayon ang naghihintay ng mas “magandang panahon” — ngunit hindi alam na ang oras ng Diyos ay ngayon?

 

Ngayon ang Panahon ng Kaligtasan

Sabi ni apostol Pablo: “Narito, ngayon ang panahong ukol; narito, ngayon ang araw ng kaligtasan” (2 Cor. 6:2). Hindi bukas. Hindi sa susunod na linggo. Ngayon. Sabi ng Diyos, “papapangyarihin kong madali sa kapanahunan” — at ang panahon Niya para sa iyong kaligtasan ay ngayon. Tatanggihan mo ba Siya, o tatalima habang bukas pa ang pintuan ng biyaya?

 

Ang Panawagan sa Pagsunod

Mga kapatid at mga kaibigan, ano ang dapat mong gawin? Ang parehong sagot na ibinigay noong Pentecostes nang sila’y masaktan sa puso at nagtanong, “Mga kapatid, anong gagawin namin?” (Gawa 2:37). Ang tugon ay malinaw: “Mangagsisi kayo, at mangagbautismo ang bawa’t isa sa inyo sa pangalan ni Jesucristo sa ikapagpapatawad ng inyong mga kasalanan” (Gawa 2:38). Sa gayon ding paraan, ay idaragdag ka ng Panginoon sa Kaniyang iglesia (Gawa 2:41, 47).

At sa inyo na mga kapatid na nasa loob na ni Cristo: kung kayo’y lumamig, kung pumasok muli ang kasalanan, kung kayo’y naghihintay pa ng “mas tamang panahon” upang maglingkod nang tapat — sinasabi ng Diyos, baka hindi na dumating ang bukas. Ang oras Niya ay ngayon. Magsisi, ipahayag, at magbalik-loob sapagkat Siya’y tapat at banal upang magpatawad (1 Juan 1:9).

 

Panghuli: Darating ang Kaniyang Oras — Handa Ka Ba?

Darating ang araw na padadaliin ng Diyos ang huling yugto ng kasaysayan. Tutunog ang pakakak. Magsisibangon ang mga patay. Magkakaroon ng paghuhukom. “Sapagka’t tayong lahat ay kinakailangang mahayag sa harapan ng hukuman ni Cristo” (2 Cor. 5:10). Ang araw na iyon ay hindi maaantala. Ang tanong ay hindi kung darating, kundi kailan. At kapag dumating iyon, handa ka ba?

Sabi ng Panginoon: “Akong Panginoon, ay papapangyarihin kong madali sa kapanahunan.” Maaaring ngayon na ang oras Niya. Handa ka bang sumunod ngayon?

 

Paanyaya:

  • Kung naniniwala ka na si Jesus ang Cristo, magsisi ka sa iyong mga kasalanan, ipahayag Siya sa harap ng mga tao, at magpabautismo upang mapasama sa Kaniyang kamatayan at muling pagkabuhay (Rom. 6:3–4).
  • Kung ikaw ay Kristiano na ngunit lumayo, magsisi at magbalik-loob. Huwag mo nang ipagpaliban.

Mga kapatid, tiyak ang oras ng Diyos. Tapat ang Kaniyang pangako. Ang tanong na natitira ay: Handa ka ba kapag padadalihin Niya ito?

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog " Believe That Ye Receive Them, And Ye Shall Have Them. " Text: Mark 11:24 Introduction This Bible sermon explains the true meaning of Mark 11:24 , where Jesus teaches about believing prayer.

Learn what the Bible really teaches about faithful prayer. Brethren and friends, listen carefully to the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in Mark 11:24 : “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” This verse is powerful.

“For Now I Know” — God’s Response to Faith With Works

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog Sermon: “ For Now I Know ” — God’s Response To Faith With Works Text: Genesis 22:12 God’s Words Are For Us, Not For Him Brethren, when we read, “for now I know that thou fearest God,” we must remember that God did not write the Scriptures for Himself—He wrote them for us (Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:16). The Lord has always been all-knowing (Psalm 139:1–4; Isaiah 46:10). He knew Abraham’s heart before Abraham even moved. But God chose to phrase it this way—“for now I know”—to communicate something to us. It is not that God gained new knowledge, but that He demonstrated in a way we can understand that true faith is proven by obedience.   Faith Is Only Real When It Acts Notice, brethren, Abraham was already a man of faith before Genesis 22. Hebrews 11:8 says he obeyed when he was called to go out. But here, his faith reached its highest test—offering Isaac, his only son. Faith alone in the mind would not have satisfied God. James ...

The Deity of Christ — Lecture 1

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ⟵ Previous Next ⟶ The Foundational Thesis — Why the Deity of Christ Is Central to Salvation and Doctrine THE DEITY OF CHRIST  — LECTURE 1   Introduction: The Question That Determines Everything There is no question more critical in all of Scripture than this: Who is Jesus Christ? Not merely what men say, not what traditions teach, but what the Word of God declares. For upon this question rests the foundation of salvation, the authority of doctrine, and the very identity of God as revealed to man. In Matthew 16:15, Jesus asked His disciples, “But whom say ye that I am?” This was not a casual inquiry—it was a dividing line between truth and error, life and condemnation. The answer given by Peter, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16), becomes the cornerstone of true faith. Yet Scripture does not leave this confession undefined. The Bible itself explains what...

IS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION PLEASING TO GOD?

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog IS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION PLEASING TO GOD? A Doctrinal Examination by Scripture Alone 📖 WHAT DOES “Pleasing to God” MEAN? To ask whether Christmas celebration is pleasing to God is not a cultural question but a doctrinal one . Scripture defines what pleases God—not human sentiment, tradition, emotion, or majority practice. “ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him .”   (Hebrews 11:6) What pleases God is: ·      Faith grounded in His revealed will ·      Obedience to His commands ·      Worship offered according to His authority “ Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. ”   (2 John 9) ☛ Thus, anything done “for God” but without His authorization is not pleasing—no matter how sincere . ✎ Key Questio...

HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”) HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”)   A Cry From the Other Side Brethren and friends, there is a cry that still trembles across eternity — not from heaven, but from torment. In Luke 16, our Lord Jesus pulls back the curtain of the unseen world to show us a rich man who lived for himself and a beggar named Lazarus who suffered in life but was carried by angels into Abraham’s bosom. The rich man, now in anguish, lifts up his eyes and pleads for his brothers who are still alive. “Send Lazarus,” he begs, “that he may warn them.” But Abraham’s answer pierces like thunder: “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.” Oh brethren, hear that line again — let them hear them. The Lord is s...

ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH BUILT BY CHRIST?

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH BUILT BY CHRIST? Main Text: Matthew 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Beloved, my friend… allow me to speak to you not as an enemy, but as one who cares for your soul. I am not here to attack you. I am not here to argue with you. I am here to ask you something—something simple, yet something that may change everything about your life, your faith, and your eternity. My friend… what church are you a member of? Have you ever truly asked yourself that question—not just by name, but by truth? Who built that church you belong to? When did it begin? Was it established in the days of the apostles… or was it started by a man many years later? And more importantly… can you find that church in the New Testament? Pause for a moment. Think carefully. If we open the Bible—not traditions, not history books...
