TOPIC: TIME AND SEASON: EVERY SEASON IS PRODUCTIVE
Memory Verse: Dan 2:21
“21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.”
Bible Reading: Gen. 20:14-18
“14 Then Abimelech took sheep, oxen, and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham; and he restored Sarah his wife to him.
15 And Abimelech said, “See, my land is before you; dwell where it pleases you.”
16 Then to Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; indeed this vindicates you before all who are with you and before everybody.” Thus she was rebuked.
17 So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children;
18 for the LORD had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.”
Everyone is in a season presently. Your season might be pleasant or unpleasant, good or bad, rough or smooth, easy or tough, filled with disappointment or promotion. This is what I want you to know, no matter how bad or good the season may be, you can make it count, you can make new things out of it. That you are not having some things doesn’t mean you don’t have anything, that which you have make use of it, put it to work.
Abraham was an old man without the promise child from God. He was in a long season of childlessness. Ismail ( and his mother) has been sent parking from home and Isaac was yet to be born to him. But in that season, Abraham was blessed with silver, sheep, oxen, and male and female servant still without a child. That season was a blessing to him despite not having a child. Every seasons has something to offer you no matter how bad or good it is.
You mean you are jobless? You can upgrade your certificate. Are you still looking for a spouse? You can upgrade yourself for the right person. You are still childless, keep serving the Lord before the children comes around when you will be too busy for God. Every season is not as bad as you think. Are you in money, a good season, try to invest for the dry season. Are you enjoying favour here and there? Make sure you help others grow through you. Is your ministry flourishing now? Utilize the season by speaking the truth that will build the right people in position of leadership for the country. There is something you can achieve with that season you are in, either good or bad season. Just think and look around you, there is something you can add to your life and that of others in this season of yours. Take action and move on.
