Chapter 1
There is a Season
Knowing that God has His own time schedule can be an encouragement to those who are walking by faith while believing in God’s faithfulness to bring forth His prophetic promise. But it can also be a frustration to the flesh, trying the patience of the saints. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
The implication in this scripture introduces us to the fact that there is a divine appointment for all things. And it is in this scripture alone that the essential keys to obtaining your destiny are found. They are seasons,
purpose
and timing.
All of these keys are critical when in a season of purpose. Coming into the full understanding of the operation of these three keys can shift your life into another dimension.
In order for
the favor of God to be
upon your life
and to be
able to live out your destiny, you must be
in a season of purpose.
God moves in seasons and times -- And God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years
(Genesis 1:14), but with the seasons and times, there must always be a corresponding purpose.
In order for the favor of God to be upon your life and to be able to live out your destiny, you must be in a season of purpose; for it is purpose that the favor of God rests upon. Proverbs 14:35 says it this way, The King’s favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
It is the wise servant that understands the seasons and timings of God. It is the wise servant that understands purpose. God will release favor toward those who walk in purpose. The purpose of God can and will only be worked out in His season and timing.
Jeremiah the prophet declares it this way, For I know the thoughts that I have for you…thoughts of peace not of evil, to give you an expected end.
God knows how your ending will be defined. He is all knowing. He ordained your ending when He orchestrated your beginning. In 1 Samuel, God told Samuel in Chapter 3, Verse 12, when I begin a thing, I will also make an end.
God never starts anything He cannot finish. He is a finisher. He is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
The book of Hebrews says it this way; He is also the author and finisher of our faith. Know that God has purpose for your life, but it can only be released in the proper season and time.
Chapter 2
Discerning Times & Seasons
Discernment essentially has a lot to do with wisdom. Exercising wisdom in judging spiritual activities or spiritual matters is absolutely vital for our sustainability and integrity in regards to understanding the timing of God and walking out our destiny. Unless we can consistently and reliably determine the times and seasons of God’s dealing, we, most likely, will find ourselves operating in some form or fashion that is not congruent with the current season that we are in. As a result, we run a high risk in being deceived or ending up frustrated. Every Christian needs to strengthen their discernment.
¹Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
²But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
³And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
