By a way of introduction, please let's note this;
If our parents had consciously built in us right values from the day we are born until we became independent from them; then we also continuing in that until now, we would far be better than we currently are.
The reason we need to constantly subject our minds to series of transformational teachings is because of the effort required to shift us away from a Mental conditioning that has grown with us.
That's why the average humans would need to listen to something for about seven times before it sinks. Repetition is a password in the matters of mastery.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR SEASON
An Ecclesiastical portion of a book talks about time for everything and that helps us gain an understanding into the Changeability of virtually everything on earth's surface - Including humans.
Now as humans, it is important to know that our lives has been segmented into seasons Just as nature experiences Summer and Winter or Rainy and Dry season.
A tree even has a time when its leafs fall off and its trunk gets dried.
These seasons actually capture the variability and dynamism of all created things. That in a way helps us acknowledge that humans also have Times and Seasons.
When you were born, you were in a season of total dependency where you are not responsible for the course of your life. You are currently reading this because you are in another season of life where you can't but read for a sure change in level. Nevertheless, another reality is that we'll get old. That's another season.
Interestingly, Each season has its own peculiarities and features. You see, that is so important. Ignorance is a huge disability - you know by now. Ignorance will make a man envious of the season of another man. Someone who is just starting out in the football career if not careful, might be envious of a renowned football professional. We live in a world where those who hasn't paid the prices envy those who had. Many people pierce themselves with so much sorrows just because of this inability to discern times and seasons.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR SEASON
Please know that you are independently accountable to God.
You and your best friend don't have same dealings with God. I remembered while in my 100level, I had an intimate friend. We would both would go out to the restaurant to relax. He was from a rich background while I was managing - big time.(lols). He doesn't cook and that made me a lazy too. So we would constantly go to KFC to have our meals
As at then, we would spend about N500 to N1000 for snacks and more for soft drinks. At a point I obviously couldn't cope. While he didn't feel a thing. The worst thing is that "he doesn't pay for me o" (After all he didn't "send me come") lols. So I became broke. What's the lesson?
UNDERSTANDING YOUR SEASON
Sir, every money that enters into your hand isn't an indication that you've arrived.
My students were talking about how they'll wanna get some latest cars after secondary school and I told them that even if someone currently gives me an aircraft, i will reject it.
God is a loving Father, He will never choke us with blessing we ain't prepared for. Our readiness is not based on our decision. No!
He Himself detects when we are ready for a new level. We cry at crusade grounds...
"Loooord, I am ready, please use me"
"Loooord, I am ready, oya give me that thing". A song writer(Nathaniel Bassey) wrote; "You've got time and seasons in your hands". Knowing your season will save you lots of headache and heartaches
Oh, you have only one shoe right? No problem! My brother, wear it with joy. If it tears sew it again! Sew it again!
No money to buy another yet? Ooohh come on go and sew that thing my friend!
You have just Garri to soak at night?
Sister, soak it with joy. Please soak it!
With the assurance and understanding of the reality of your current season
For when the Leafs wither, it would become green again. Its a matter of time.
Hear this, Never allow people pity you out of your Season!
Sometimes Bro, God will even empower you to trek long distances.
See, he designed the muscles of your legs to be strong for a reason. Com on....Treck!
Are we saying we should have a poverty mentality? Far from it! Never!This is the season when you can go through some thick and thins....the youthful season!
When trekking and the devil allow some yahoo guys flash in their jeeps beside you, and the devil whispers to you...
"see your life. See your mate. You'll trek till you die if you don't wise up"
Tighten your fist, screeeeeeam in your mind and say "shut up you liar!"
Lady, your skirt is torn....stitch it....stitch it again! And while you do this, keep telling God.
"I know you've got times and seasons in your hands" kai!
I was at a program where the man on the Mic emphasised that "Everyone has a pillow of suffering on his head", and that the pillow is used for carrying challenges.
The best time to wear and tear out that pillow is now that we are young.
Have you seen those old men who stays at the gate?
What were they doing while they were young?
Some of them dig wells.
What were they doing at their youthful season? UNDERSTANDING YOUR SEASON
Never mistaken your seed time for your harvest time. Discern!
So many ladies had so pancaked and lived fake lives that their destiny helper had assumed they are "big girls" already who need no help. While they walk past last them daily.
Their is a sure protocol/principle of success in God. And that's the necessity of Suffering before Glory. Story before Glory! See, all those storms ain't to break you dear. They will eventually make you strong!
Bro, sometimes you might need to go knocking from door to door and asking if you can mow their grasses. Our society has made us think that is embarrassment... No bro. It is not!
You are fulfilling scriptures...
"Let him that is lazy to work not eat".
"whatever your hands find to do, do with all your energy"
God sees you Sir. Challenges are the food champions feed on Imagine scripture even saying "rejoice, when you fall into diverse temptations". Why? Because they work within us Patience.
You are not married yet...and your mates are flaunting their rings. Rejoice but don't worried dear.
*UNDERSTANDING YOUR SEASON*
Ask yourself, what season are you in. Some of us need to run anytime marriage is being discussed. Because our current season is far from marriage.
Is this your season for sowing or that of Harvest? When you sow, you don't smile brother. People sow in sweats. UNDERSTANDING YOUR SEASON
I'll beg us under God, that we carefully take an assessment of our friends or those who influence us. Are you in the same season?
See, its very hard to walk with people who ain't in your Season. If care is not taken, you will assume you're going through similar season and they will soon draw you out of your season. Many of us are even fasting and praying out of our ordained season.
May we gain Understanding in knowing and accepting our seasons.
God bless you sir. Weldone. More grace and power to your elbow
