Good Morning Sunshine! “Don’t Miss Your Moment!”

Luke 14:18, 21, 23 (NIV) ~ “But they all alike began to make excuses… The owner of the house became angry and order his servant to go out quickly into the streets and alleys… so that my house will be full.’”

2 Corinthians 6:2 (NIV) ~ “Now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.”

Stop Holding the Reservation Hostage!  When you keep making excuses, you hold your reservation hostage. You leave the seat empty, the oil unpoured, the revelation unread, and the influence unreleased. It’s not just about you; someone else’s release is waiting on you to release! There are lives attached to your obedience. There are people who will only eat once you take your seat. You don’t serve a God who extends invitations casually, He does so strategically. He knows what’s in you. He knows what He placed in your hands. You may see yourself as ordinary, but He sees you as ordained. And while you’re calculating the risks, He’s already accounted for your mistakes and still called you worthy. “If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.” Isaiah 1:19 (ESV).

Now on to word for today, “Don’t Miss Your Moment!”

God’s invitation to you is real. It’s not just a spiritual concept; it’s a moment in time that has been specifically designed for you. Heaven has extended an open door, and what waits on the other side is tailor-made for your calling. But a reserved table means nothing if the guest never shows up. In Luke 14, Jesus tells the story of a great banquet where the table was prepared, the food was ready, the place was set, yet the invited guests made excuses. They allowed distraction, responsibility, fear, and obligation to rob them of the moment that was already theirs. The master didn’t cancel the feast; he simply called for someone else to come and sit. (Stop letting others take your spot!)

Many of you are standing right at the edge of your breakthrough, but you keep making excusing and talking yourself out of it. You can sense God drawing you in, you hear His voice calling you forward, but yet you delay with reasons that you have convinced yourself are valid. “It’s not the right time.” “I’m not good enough.” “What if I fail?” But those are not just thoughts, they are strategies of the enemy to keep you circling outside of doors God has already unlocked. The table will be filled. The question is, will you be seated at it?

One of the most subtle and destructive traps is believing you have more time. But some moments are not just important, they are appointed! There are Kairos moments in the Spirit where the timing of God intersects the obedience of man, (that’s you) and when you miss that moment, you risk walking in circles that were never necessary That’s why 2 Corinthians 6:2 says, “Now is the time of God’s favor. Now is the day of salvation.” God is not asking you to be perfect, He’s asking you to be present. He’s not looking for your qualifications, He’s looking for your surrender!

Fear is a master thief. It doesn’t just make you anxious, it makes you absent. You can be in the right place and still miss the moment because fear convinced you to stay still. You may be afraid of what others may think or might say, or you will tell yourself, that you are not enough, (sometimes you can be your own worst enemy) or you a fear of stepping out and failing. But the truth is, obedience always comes before overflow. God doesn’t wait until you feel ready. He moves when you move in faith.

Obedience unlocks the next dimension of your life. Delayed obedience is still disobedience. God will never force you into purpose, but He will always invite you into it. And when you respond, He meets you with strength, grace, clarity, and favor. But if you walk away because of fear, you’re not just walking away from the moment, you’re walking away from what that moment was going to release.

This is your wake-up call. Don’t miss your moment! You’ve rehearsed your excuses long enough. You’ve circled that same mountain too many times, this is not my word, this is the Lord’s, “The LORD our God said to us in Horeb, ‘You have stayed long enough at this mountain.” Deuteronomy 1:6!  You’ve stood at the threshold, knowing there’s more, but unwilling to step in. Let today be the day you shake off fear, silence the lies, and say yes to God’s invitation! You don’t need to feel qualified. You just need to be willing. There is something on the other side of your obedience that will make the battle you fought to get there more than worth it! Don’t Miss It!

Let’s Pray:
Father, I hear Your invitation. I feel Your pull. And I know in my heart that this is a divine moment. You’ve prepared something for me, a door, a seat, a calling, a table. But I confess that I’ve delayed. I’ve hesitated. I’ve doubted. I’ve let fear whisper lies and let insecurity convince me that I’m not ready or that I’m not good enough. I’ve talked myself out of what You were calling me into to many times. Forgive me, Lord, for standing still when I should have been moving. Forgive me for giving fear a seat at a table You reserved for faith. Today, I choose to walk out of fear and into freedom. I choose to silence every voice of delay and rise into the moment You’ve ordained. No more excuses. No more hiding. No more playing small. I am stepping into what You’ve prepared for me, not because I have it all figured out, but because I trust the One who prepared the way. I renounce every lie that says I’m not good enough. I break agreement with fear, doubt, insecurity, and perfectionism. I declare that I am ready to walk through the door You’ve opened. I declare that I will not miss my moment. I declare that I am bold, obedient, and surrendered. I may not feel strong, but Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. I may not know the full picture, but I say yes to the next step. Holy Spirit, lead me in courage. Teach me how to move with clarity. Let divine timing and divine obedience collide in my life. Let this be the season that I stop circling and start possessing. I say yes to the table. I say yes to the invitation. I say yes to the call. And I say no to fear. I will not miss what is mine. I will rise into it by faith, clothed in grace, and covered by Your power. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen!

Blessings…
Love, Minister Jean
