Whatever you have received from God will be used at the right moment.

I wonder if you ever have a moment when you received something from God, but there was no time to use it. Sometimes, when God gives you a word, a message, a task or a calling, it doesn't mean it's for now. Let me give you and example:


"And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 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. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ". (Matthew 16:17-20) 

As you can see from verse 19, Jesus did not want Peter to start using the keys right away. He told him and his disciples to wait. I can only imagine the excitement of the disciples as they waited for the opportunity to reveal the revelation they had received. Their time has not yet come.


The first opportunity they had was on the day of Pentecost after receiving the Holy Spirit. Peter was the first to use the keys. (Acts 2:1-41)


"Act 2:14  But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words". (Acts 2:14)

What does this mean for us? Even, if you know the greatest revelation that could help people, you may not reveal it right away. And if you do, you may be disappointed because people may not accept it. It's not the right time. I want to ask you to wait for the right moment. It could take days, weeks or maybe months or years. But you never, I would like to repeat, never forget what God has given you. Soon or later you will use it. Just be patient and wait for the right moment.
