Ecclesiastes 3:2 - Seasons and timings
Everything has a season, every purpose has a time for its fulfilment so time was created for the purpose to be fulfilled.
Every time there is something in your life it comes in a certain season and for a certain time i.e a woman will be fertile for a certain age gap, if she fails to discover who she is time wnt wait for her to know her purpose.
If you waste your season, time won't wait for you to discover your purpose but you will have missed your time and your season of fulfilling your purpose.
Ecclesiastes 12:1 NIV (New International Version)
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”—
You ought to discover God while you are young so that you can discover your purpose while you are still young and thus fulfil your life.
We measure our walk in life on an SI (Standard International) unit called time.
If life is measured in terms of time then life wasted is life abused, and wasted time is wasted life. Time without purpose is life without meaning.
Life is not measured by duration but by Donation, it's about what you did with the life given. Life shall be measured not after how long u lived but how you lived
Jesus on judgement day shall not say well said but well done good and faithful servant. It's not abt the grey hair or No hair but what you did as the hair was turning grey or falling out.
1 Chronicles 12:32 NIV
from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do—200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command;
When you don't know what time it is you are possibly doing the wrong thing and maybe the wrong person.
Time manifests itself in seasons i.e a year is split into seasons of weather, when winter comes you don't walk out in a bikini but you adjust yourself into the season you have entered into. Every season has its target assignment and it's meant to fulfil a certain purpose.
God has a way of marinating every season with certain people and resources
People; That's y some people were present in your days of certain struggles but when you graduated God took them away,
Jobs and bosses; God provided certain jobs for certain experiences for your next job or business. (House helps)
Relationships; God will allow you to date some people so that you can learn, and appreciate the person God is preparing for you.
Never build a permanent house in a season that God is passing you through. i.e
1 Kings 17:3-9 NIV
3“Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan.
4. You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.”
5. So he did what the Lord had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there.
6. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
7. Sometime later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
8. Then the word of the Lord came to him: “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.”
Some of us are holding on to what the Lord has killed for you to shift.
One season prepares you for the next season and insensitivity of the shift leaves u frustrated and bitter with God
Gen 41:1 - Pharaoh dream
Every man has his season of rising and falling. How you handle your high season determines how your low season handles you.
It's critical to discern and know what season you are in, life comes in three dimensions of day,
Morning days: trial and error days, options to explore from.
Afternoon days: midlife crisis second chance and no options to choose from. Life begins at 40, days of making big wins and steps, days of investments and making your life
Evening days - old age (retired) days of life reviews and regrets, mistakes you made tend to catch up with you i.e. David and Solomon.
