Happy weekend my highly esteemed steemians. Let me say this before i continue. Don't make a conclusion of this post from just the title; because i know it might sound strange. Just read through to the end.
I quickly would love to share some thoughts from the Word with us.
John 5:1-4 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
1 Later on there was a Jewish festival (feast) for which Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem a pool near the Sheep Gate. This pool in the Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five porches (alcoves, colonnades, doorways).
3 In these lay a great number of sick folk—some blind, some crippled, and some paralyzed (shriveled up)—[a]waiting for the bubbling up of the water.
4 For an angel of the Lord went down at appointed seasons into the pool and moved and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was cured of whatever disease with which he was afflicted.
I want to draw out your attention to verses 4 of these scriptures;
For an angel of the Lord went down at appointed seasons into the pool and moved and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was cured of whatever disease with which he was afflicted.

The phrase at Appointed Seasons;
I'm sure most of us has recieved declarations for your Appointed Seasons.
We have listened to messages that prepared us for that Appointed Seasons.
We have been told that life is in circles and many people miss their appointed time within the circle of their lives but we have also been taught we serve a God of a second chance. So, glory to God brother, glory to God sister, there is a second chance for you.
So we patiently wait and become very careful not to miss "this appointed season which happens to be that second chance from God"*
Now, we have seen people waiting for years just like the man beside that pool.
So many reasons keep them waiting for so long.
Even in these days, the teachings of appointed time and second chances has kept so many people waiting for years without fulfilling their purpose in life.
They have every human reasons for waiting and surely they will tell you, "I'm just waiting for the Angel to steer up the water or I missed my opportunity, I'm just praying God for a second chance or I mess up by sinning against God, I do not know if he will give me a second chance"
Brothers and Sisters! I bring to you the Gospel today.
I bring to you a Higher truth of this Gospel today.
We DO NOT serve a God of second chance and there is no sure thing as an pointed time for the born again Christian that is filled with the Holy Spirit.
Yes! How we serve a God of second chances?
It is not consistent with his personality!
Second what?
If you study the personality of God, you would know why Jesus prayed Him to send us the Holy Spirit.
John 14:16-17 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever.
17 The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you.
Oh! Glory!! These scriptures makes me shout!!!
I do not need a GOD OF SECOND CHANCE BECAUSE I SERVE A GOD THAT CREATE MORE THAN TRILLIONS OF CHANCE PER SECONDS.
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever
The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you.
.that He may remain with you forever
...for He lives with you constantly and will be in you.
He has given us the Holy Spirit to constantly counsel us on what to do and what not to do, to comfort us, to help us, to advocate for us, to strengthen us and the beautiful thing of these all is... He is always on Standby
Yes! He's always on Standby!
So, I don't have to wait for an appointed time.
I don't have to wait for any second chance.
I don't have to wait for any Angel to come steer up the waters.
My appointed time is whenever I want because my sweet Holy Spirit is always on standby.
All I need to do is to steer up the waters on the inside of me by blasting in tongues and and the appointments for my success stories are created immediately.
source
As I blast in tongues and speaks words, the chances are created and recreated immediately.
NO MORE WAITING FOR "AN APPOINTED TIME"
NO MORE WAITING FOR "A SECOND CHANCE"
The ability and grace to create your appointed time is within you
He is a gift that Jesus prayed the father to give us.
And the father gave Him to us.
That gift is the Holy Spirit.
He is always on Standby.
He is constantly with you.
And He will remain in you forever.
Catch this truth into your Spirit today and live a constant glorious live.
God is not a God of second chances...
He constantly creates billion of Chances per seconds way more than you can ever make use of. Your billion of chances is a default setting with God.
source
It just automatically refreshes itself.
So, do not allow anyone tell you that you have missed your chance with God.
Do not allow anyone tell you that you have to fast and pray to get another chance with God.
Do not allow yourself wallow in the guilt of your sin thinking you will never get a chance with God.
Brothers and Sisters, your chances with God are endless.
For his Mercies are renewed every morning.
His faithfulness is forever sure.
His love is boundless
He will NEVER leave you or forsake you.
He is your EVER PRESENT HELP in all times of need.
Yes! He is STANDING BY!
And YOUR APPOINTED TIME is whenever you want
Glory to God!!!
May the Spirit of the Lord minister this truth into your Spirit today and help you create the appointments needed for your next level of success even in this week and this day in Jesus Name. Amen.
Have friutful weekend everyone. I love you all.
