From God
Seasons come and go. Spring,
summer, autumn, winter and again spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Seasons will always come and go until the earth ceases to exist.
There are several reasons why there is something like seasons and
one of them is to teach you spiritual lessons. They are there to
show you that there is a time for everything. There is a time to
plant and there is a time to harvest, there is a time to work and
there is a time to rest, there is a time to wait and there is a
time to run, there is a time to study and there is a time to apply,
there is a time to do something and then there is a time to simply
trust. There is a time for everything in this world.
Which season are you in? Are you in
a spring cycle where everything is fresh and new, exciting and full
of promise? Or are you in a summer cycle where you are waiting for
your big harvest to come in? Or are you maybe in an autumn cycle
tired from the hard work of the summer and looking forward to some
rest? Or are you in a winter cycle, resting from your hard work,
but yet impatient that things are not happening or developing as
you would have hoped it would? Where are you finding yourself at
the moment?
Remember one thing; a season is not
there to stay. Whether you are experiencing your current season as
a highlight or a low point in your life, it is not constant and it
will not last forever. Each season is there to teach you something
and to lead you unto new heights on a spiritual level. Even though
you might experience it as a difficult time, it is raising you unto
a new level spiritually. Just keep on following My Word and be
obedient, see Me walking beside you, taking your hand and guiding
you to where you need to be. Seasons are there for you to learn
from, to apply the lessons learned and to move forward. It needs to
be applied through the principles of My Word, only then will
spiritual growth take place.
Your spiritual wellbeing is of
utmost importance to Me. Your newly born spirit within you is part
of My royal family and so precious to Me. Therefore your growth in
this new life is what Kingdom living is all about. Rejoice in the
growth you experience in your soul, live your life exalting My Name
and live for a Kingdom way above earthly life. Kingdom living is
where I am, Kingdom living is where miracles manifest, Kingdom
living is where My secrets are revealed, it is so much more
glorious than any earthly thing, look up and be part of it.
My promises of protection, health
and prosperity to the Israelites were based on two conditions.
Number one, they had to obey and love Me. And number two, they had
to live in the land that I gave them. It sounds so simple, right?
But the same is true of you. For My promises to become a reality
you need to firstly accept the finished work of My Son and you
should love Us beyond measure. You need to see who you are in Us
and accept Our righteousness as the gift that it is. Secondly, you
need to live in the land that I gave you, My Kingdom. Live in the
reality of it now already. Do not live for this world any longer,
do not live as if this is all that you have. It is not. Your true
home is with Me, live in the reality of it now already and believe
only what I say is true of you according to My Word. Stop believing
the lies of My enemy and start believing My truth. My truth will
set you free.
I will always be there, carrying
you and caring for you. I am the constant in your life, the never
changing One; the One Who always was and always will be. Take My
hand and walk with Me through the seasons of life. I would love to
teach you My ways and help you to walk above it all. Therein lies
the secret of life. Come, trust Me, I have it all figured out. My
hand is outstretched, take it and walk with Me on roads paved with
gold and dusted with diamonds, beautiful to see, but soft to touch.
My Kingdom will amaze you, take the chance with Me, you will never
be the same.
Ponder this:
- In which season do you find yourself in at the moment?
- What does this season that you are in say to you?
- Write down what you think God wants to teach you about this
season that you are in.
- How are you going to approach this new season with the fresh
insights that you have just received?
- Read and meditate on the following Scriptures this week:
- There is a time for everything - Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
- God will guide you on the best pathway for your life - Psalm
32:8

Spirit to work in you - 2 Corinthians 3:18
- God doesn't tempt you, you are His choice possession - James
1:13-18
