Discerning the Times and Preparation for Seasons

When the clouds are full, they empty themselves upon the earth. And where a tree falls, whether North or South, there it will lie. (Ecc 11:3)

🌻The emptying of the clouds signifies a fullness of time. When the time for a certain purpose arrives, by the design of God it is executed.

🌻The falling of a tree and it lying to the North or South signifies the duration of a season.

🌻We have learnt by scripture that Time ought to be discerned for it to be redeemed and Seasons are prepared for and then occupied.

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (Eph 5: 16-17)

🌻Time presents short windows of opportunity that must be tapped before they close. Like the man at the pool for over 38 years, he was never in time for the opportunity the water was being stirred.

🌻When it comes to Seasons, we look at a definitive span of a certain state of affairs. If it is rainy season, we see more of the rain than the sun.

🌻Seasons therefore require that we are prepared to what they dictate. The activities/ business we do depends on the prevailing Season.A man that sleeps during the season of planting will ultimately be stricken with poverty. 

🌻When you see the root word for Occupy - it means business, activities , something done repeatedly.

🌻In the parable of the Ten 1o Minas, he told them to Occupy till he comes indicating it was a season given to them.

THE PARABLE OF THE TEN MINAS

🌻A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. (Luke 19:12-13)

🌻One of the servants had grown the one pound to 10, another to 5 and there was one who kept it in a Napkin. 

🌻The difference here was that the PREPARATION was different for the servants. 

🌻When the Bible speaks of a tree lies where it falls, it indicates a season and in whichever state it finds a man, that’s how they will live through it.

🌻What we must note is that the preparation of the season is preceded by a Window (Time) to enter that preparation.

🌻Jesus time-moment was when he was baptised and the Spirit then led him to the wilderness.Paul’s moment was on his way to persecute the church and then he was led into the desert in Arabia for 3 years.

🌻We must then discern the time-moment for our preparation lest we miss our Occupation.

#You are blessed
