Times and Seasons

Eccl 3:1
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven"...

If you have a proper understanding of this Scripture, life will be a lot easier.

Everything and I mean everything has a season. God operates with timing even though He's not affected or limited by it.

If you experience some serious growth or affluence at a point in your life, be sensitive. For instance, if you have a windfall, don't do "lau lau".

You may be in your season. Maximize it. Take advantage of it. Dig your well in that season. Leverage on the opportunities that come your way then. Many waste their season by squandering the opportunities that come their way. Some don't even recognize when they're in their season.

Seasons come and seasons go. That is why no king will reign forever. No Forbes list is ever permanent. That person's season will come and go. But what you do during your season will determine whether your reign will be short-lived or long.

It is important for you to not only understand the times and seasons but also know what to do. 1 Chr 12:32- "And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do"...

This is also applicable in relationships. Everything comes down to times and seasons. During the rainy season, no one needs to pray because it rains freely. That is when one is young and there are offers everywhere.

Unfortunately, the rainy season can be taken for granted but it won't last forever. When dry season comes, anything that looks like rain is welcome development. If you operate out of season, life is hard.

This is when you have to trust God for a miracle- because it is divine providence if it rains in the dry season. If you operate within your season, you'll look like a man under grace. Key is to maximize seasons.

But the good news is God can also change the times and seasons. According to Daniel 2:21, " He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding".

If you don't like your season, you can trust the Maker of times and seasons to change it.

To recap, here are the 4 things you should note:

1. Everything and everyone has their season.

2. Seasons come and seasons go. We will all have different seasons in our lives. No one experiences summer throughout. There are winter times.

3. To enjoy life to the fullest, it's good to understand your season and also know what to do when you're in your season.

4. If you don't like the season you're experiencing, the Maker of seasons can change it.
