Text: Luke 19:41-44
“41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, 44 and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” KJV.
“Kairos” moment is sensitive moment of divine visitation that leads to fulfillment of destiny. Every “time or moment” do not carry equal value; there are moments called “Kairos” because of the enormity of what is at stake. May you not be sleeping or distracted when your day of visitation comes. Focus and alertness are needed to seize Kairos moments.
A divine visitation is a moment God draws near to intervene in your matter. God is so close to intervene in your affairs – many times to give us the wisdom needed or a correction needed, etc. From our above text, Jesus wept over Jerusalem because they did not recognize the day of their visitation. Divine visitation is also a supernatural encounter where God manifests Himself in a personal or corporate manner. God can visit you by dropping a word in your heart – you must be ever vigilant and alert to “catch” that word. God can also visit through a personal touch or prophetic utterance over your situation like the case of Sarah in Gen. 18:13-14.
Kairos moment is the right time, right opportunity and right season for you to experience and walk in what Heaven has earmarked for you. A Kairos moment is also a crucial, opportune time for action, a decisive moment where conditions are right for a particular event to occur. We can also call it “Divine Timing” for something to happen. The children of Issachar were spiritually sensitive and knew the times and seasons of God. Most of the Kairos moment are rarely “loud” or “flashy” moments, they could come in very subtle way, hence discernment is critical. Missing your time or Kairos could be catastrophic – Eccl. 9:12.
How to Handle Your Kairos Moments
- You must be spiritually sensitive. God’s visitations may not always be “dramatic”. Rev. 3:20
- Respond with reverence and obedience. Mary in Luke 1:34-38
- Repent and realign ourselves to the instructions to the will of God. Luke 19
- Honor the timing and vessel God is using and be ready to receive the prophetic instruction of what to do.
- The Shunamite woman in 2 Kings 4:8-12
- Nurture what God has deposited in you in that Kairos moment – like Mary embracing the Holy One deposited in her. Many have allowed doubts to abort the word God dropped into their heart.
When your Kairos moment comes, breakthrough and restoration come. Every moment you are in the church is a Kairos moment depending on how you handle it. Every visitation of God is for a purpose – It’s always a time to lift up, to heal, to stir up His giftings in you, to restore you, to favor you – this is why you must always stay alert and humble.
The Bible is filled with People who missed their Kairos moment
- The 5 foolish virgins missed their Kairos moment due to carelessness.
- Esau also missed his Kairos moment because of food (he sold his birthright).
- King Agrippa not heeding to the Gospel message in Acts 26:27-28
- Eutychus in Acts 20:7-12
- The Pharisees and Sadducees during Jesus’ earthly ministry.
In closing, may God not weep over us for missing our Kairos moment like He did over Jerusalem. Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:6-7
God Bless You!
