TOPIC: TIME AND SEASON: ENJOY THE SEASON YOU ARE IN.
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: Eccl. 2:24.
“24 Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw, was from the hand of God.”
Have you ever heard some one saying, “i enjoyed myself when I had these and these?” There are things ordained for everyone of us to enjoy where we are presently that are not sinful. There are places you can go presently that you won’t be able to go some years to come. There are some friends you can mingle with now that will not possible some months to come. Enjoy the season you are. There are pleasures that is not against the will of God that you can enjoy for now, take the time now.
Am not talking about you going into debt to enjoy yourself or sleeping and messing around because you are still single or robbing people of their hard earning, No, but enjoying your labour, give your self a treat, the needed leisure that you are dreaming of. Don’t just keep working and not enjoy from your wealth. King Solomon said,
Eccl. 2:21-23
“21 For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he must leave his heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.
22 For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun?
23 For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.”
Give your self rest. Eat good food once in a while. Go shopping. Visit eatery. Visit cinema once in a while. Free yourself of the labour and stress of “am expecting a better season.” “My future is yet to come” enjoy this season first.
Every man has three stages of life, the morning season, the afternoon season and the night season. These three seasons has there pleasures that can’t be interchange in life. It doesn’t matter the season you are, enjoy the things that’s associated with it that can give you joy. Stop complaining about what you don’t have yet, enjoy what you have at your disposer now before admiring what someone else has.
Make yourself happy. Make your family happy once in a while even if you can’t do it in a bigger way do it according to your level. God of all season is a good God.
