There are times in life when un-appointed schedulings happen for the benefit of souls, or so it seems. To us it’s unscheduled but to God’s omnicience, omnipotence and omnipresence it’s all on good terms and rightly timed.
Jesus didn’t have to go to Jairus’s house to revive his twelve year old daughter (Luke 8:43-48), but there was along that same path to the man’s house a woman with the issue of blood that was appointed to touch His garment for a complete healing. After twelve years of suffering and having spent all her money on all sorts of healing methods the healing grace reached her because she believed it could happen. Jesus could’ve just told Jairus like he told others, go your child lives but that would’ve prevented the woman’s healing that she so long awaited. Yet Jesus had to meet the Samaritan woman at the well leading her to the truth first so she could bring to Him a crowd that would believe, such a divine appointment.
(Matthew 8:8-13), The Centurion’s faith, because he understood authority and respected a person’s position, his servant was healed by Jesus’ word alone. And in Galilee Jesus would meet the Official from Capernaum who just believed for the healing of his son because Jesus said it, (John 4:49-52) which would bring salvation to the whole family. There’s great blessings in believing in God’s divine healing anointing in Christ Jesus but only those convicted can actually receive it. Hence part of of the reason for the many infirmities we encounter.
When we walk according to the Spirit of God, we walk divinely appointed to touch lives we know nothing of. This is a truth we know in part and may never be revealed fully in our lifetime but in glory we will meet all souls touched by divine appointments throughout life’s journey that we had no clue of. If you’re sure to have followed God’s word in redirecting others who have crossed your path, you’ve already laid the foundation that will hold and take them into God’s eternity. If their foundation was already set when they met you then it’s possible that an encounter with you was just to add another brick that solidify their stand, path and walk. (Often a problem occurs in thinking or believing it’s up to us to do the complete work in each person encountered whereas at times the amount to set is just one block and it’s another person that might complete the construction). Because not everyone’s journey is the same it’s best to remain open minded and Jesus focused. One must trust and believe now that God who has begun such great works in you will accomplish it (Isaiah 26:12) in the heart of the lives you’ve impacted positively for his glory (John 5:30). Hence we should constantly pray that the beauty of our Lord Jesus Christ (of Nazareth) be upon us that he might establish the works of our hands. (Psalms 90:17)
