In life, our human brain cannot comprehend some supernatural interventions. We tend to analyse the situation based on our experience.But you know what, God is beyond our analysis.
When a child is born, the child is expected to start developing strenght gradually.
At a time, we expect that the back of the child start to develop enough strenght to hold his body in a posture whilst sitting. After this, the child starts to sit without any support. Then, after a few months, we expect them to start crawling. After this they start to cruise. ....they hold the chair and move from one place to another, with their hands still holding the chair. Once they take the first few steps following the crusing, we get excited. Before long, there is hopping, before long, there is jumping and running.

Natural Life can come in stages and if you are delayed in one, you are automatically delayed in others that were supposed to come after it.
Naturally, a child who has never used his legs does not have power in them , when he now gains the use of the legs, he should start from the beginning. He should start crawling, then cruising, then wobbling and then walking.

But, when JESUS COMES IN.....NATURAL SEQUENCES ARE HASTENED AT THE SPEED FASTER THAN LIGHT.....
ACT 3:1-11
One day at three o’clock in the afternoon, Peter and John were on their way into the Temple for prayer meeting. At the same time there was a man crippled from birth being carried up. Every day he was set down at the Temple gate, the one named Beautiful, to beg from those going into the Temple. When he saw Peter and John about to enter the Temple, he asked for a handout. Peter, with John at his side, looked him straight in the eye and said, “Look here.” He looked up, expecting to get something from them. Peter said, “I don’t have a nickel to my name, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!” He grabbed him by the right hand and pulled him up. In an instant his feet and ankles became firm. He jumped to his feet and walked. The man went into the Temple with them, walking back and forth, dancing and praising God. Everybody there saw him walking around and praising God. They recognized him as the one who sat begging at the Temple’s Gate Beautiful and rubbed their eyes, astonished, scarcely believing what they were seeing. The man threw his arms around Peter and John, ecstatic. All the people ran up to where they were at Solomon’s Porch to see it for themselves.

At times, when you have been suffering for a long time, you think you don't deserve good anymore, or that you may have to put a lot of effort in order to get a result commensurate with your colleagues.
You feel like you have lost time.
You regret that you have lost opportunities.
You feel like you have lost time.
You regret that you have lost opportunities.
This morning, God wants me to tell you....WHEN YOU ALLOW HIM INTO YOUR PREDICAMENT......HE GIVES YOU SPEED ENOUGH TO CATCH UP.
When God comes to the scene of your disadvantage , you dont have to crawl before you walk. You dont have to walk before you jump...He makes your legs strong for the state you are due at that moment.
WITH GOD, YOU CAN RUN WITHOUT LEARNING TO CRAWL OR WALK......
WITH GOD, YOU CAN RUN WITHOUT LEARNING TO CRAWL OR WALK......
Dont allow your present status to weigh you down. There is a presence that can make you recover what you have lost and overtaken them that seem to have gone ahead. The man at the Beautiful gate was delayed but his steps, when he started were more popular than those who had walked all their lives..
When God suspends the natural sequence for you, your progress will defy reasonable explanation... bring God in...and remember that its not in who started walking first, but whose steps carry the most weight! By Sis Bola
