Please, let's give him. 28 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:44,160 A clap, Hallelujah. Oh Hallelujah. 29 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:51,520 Praise the Lord we thank you so much for another day. 30 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,640 He has granted us life and once there is life there is hope. 31 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,840 Hallelujah. I thank God he already asked you 32 00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:03,280 your Bible because I was about to do that. 33 00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:07,040 So since he has already asked, then because this morning it's 34 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,320 not more about preaching, I want us to learn a little, it's more 35 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,680 about teaching and a little preaching. 36 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,040 Hallelujah. We know that this particular 37 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:23,120 year the theme is the church unleashed to transform society 38 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,760 through the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit, Amen. 39 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,480 So if we are under the power of the Holy Spirit within this 40 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,040 year, it is very important for you to understand the divine 41 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,640 timing of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit also works with 42 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,360 time. He's not, how do I even put it, 43 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,400 He's not engulfed or let's say trapped in the time of man, but 44 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,000 he works in his own time. Hallelujah. 45 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,000 So under the topic, under the theme, the topic I brought out 46 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:06,960 was divine timing, understanding seasons, times and chances in 47 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:13,040 the spirit Hallelujah. Divine timing, understanding 48 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,480 seasons, times and chances in the spirit Hallelujah. 49 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,480 So I want us to open to ecclesiasis chapter 3 verse one 50 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,120 if you can kindly project it for us. 51 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:35,320 Ecclesiasis chapter 3 verse one. So I want us to read together. 52 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,120 Please look on the screen we are all reading together Ready go 53 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:55,450 chapter 3 verse one so there is time for normally hear all of us 54 00:08:55,450 --> 00:08:57,450 saying there is time for everything. 55 00:08:57,450 --> 00:08:59,090 It's a scripture, it's in the Bible. 56 00:08:59,570 --> 00:09:06,080 There is time for everything and a season for every activity. 57 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,160 So when I say every activity, imagine the activities you go 58 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,520 through. That is what I'm talking about. 59 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,760 Every activity you can think about. 60 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,240 Activities in your family, at home, in the church, every 61 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,560 activity under the heavens. Hallelujah. 62 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,960 So to everything there is a season. 63 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,120 Now if you are not able to understand the seasons very 64 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:39,200 well, we respond to seasons and if your respond to any season is 65 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,960 the wrong respond, you'll be like God is not actually looking 66 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,760 at you, but you have failed to descend the kind of season in 67 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,880 which you are Hallelujah. When you read Galatians chapter 68 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:56,680 6 verse 9, it says that and let us not be wary in well doing for 69 00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:03,320 in due season we shall rape Hallelujah if we faint nots. 70 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,600 I like that last one. We shall rape say let us not 71 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:14,560 become wary in doing good for at the prosper time or sorry proper 72 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,840 time. I like using in due season. 73 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,720 Aha. We shall what reap a harvest if 74 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,240 we do not give up. I want you to look at your 75 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,320 friend and tell him or her that the year has just begun. 76 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,120 Tell them the year. Do not give up. 77 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,840 I'm reading the introduction. It says that one of the greatest 78 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:43,960 struggles of believers is not faith itself. 79 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,800 We do not have a problem with faith, but timing. 80 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,920 Hallelujah. We have the faith, but we have 81 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,680 problem with timing. Many believers or many people 82 00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:57,840 believe God can do it. Meaning when we pray about 83 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,440 something this year we have prayed a lot. 84 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:05,280 We believe God can do it, but the struggle is with when God 85 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,600 will do it. Hallelujah. 86 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,600 Just like yeah we believe oh God will do it, but our struggle 87 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:19,360 within is when God will do it. So when someone is praying about 88 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,080 something, the person has prayed about it, but you see the person 89 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,640 asking that question like so God, when so God, when so. 90 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:32,680 Believers struggle with timing. Delayed answers often cause 91 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:38,440 frustration, often cause doubt, impatience, and sometimes 92 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,680 compromise. If somebody is compromising here 93 00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:44,560 this morning, the Lord has sent me to tell you that don't give 94 00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:48,560 up. Hallelujah, someone is 95 00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:51,960 compromising this morning. You are frustrated, you are 96 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,600 doubting, impatient about whatever you have prayed about 97 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,520 and it's about to frustrate you. The Lord is telling you do not 98 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,160 compromise His relationship for nothing in this world. 99 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,800 Hallelujah, someone will tell you there's a shortcut here, 100 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,080 young faha. Oh, you get your answer right 101 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,960 now. Do not compromise. 102 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:19,080 Yet Scripture reveals that God is not lit, neither is he early. 103 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:25,200 He is always on time. Divine timing teaches us that 104 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,040 life does not move randomly. Life does not move, meaning if I 105 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,400 say it does not move randomly. Meaning you can't determine 106 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,360 where your life is moving. Today you are set, tomorrow it 107 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,280 will jump to J, the next day it will jump to kill. 108 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,040 Life is not like that. It does not move randomly. 109 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:52,360 God operates by seasons, God operates by time, and God 110 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,480 operates by opportunity. Hallelujah. 111 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,320 So let's let's, let's let's look at this. 112 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:03,280 God operates by what seasons? He operates by time and he 113 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:09,080 operates by what opportunity. Previously, I was the local 114 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,800 evangelism leader. One, it was an opportunity. 2IN 115 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,720 God's time, I was supposed to be that. 116 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,680 And in that season there's a purpose for that particular 117 00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:21,000 office. If I did not do whatever God 118 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,920 asked me to do, that time has passed and there's nothing I can 119 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,120 do about it. Again, I can't go back for it 120 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,840 this morning. Wherever you have been placed 121 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,240 this year, in the church, at your workplace, in the family, 122 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,840 please get to know that it's an opportunity. 123 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,960 It's a season. Whatever problem you are going 124 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,600 through, even problems are seasons. 125 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,560 Hallelujah. By the end of the lesson, you'll 126 00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:48,040 be able to understand a lot concerning seasons and times, so 127 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,080 you know which season in which you are. 128 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,800 So, as I said, God operates by seasons, by times and 129 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,680 opportunities, and spiritual maturity is learning how to 130 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:03,800 descend and cooperate with them. This morning it's my prayer that 131 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,640 God will give you spiritual maturity. 132 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,560 Now Gopon Emmao spiritual maturity to be able to descend, 133 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,640 meaning if you don't descend the season in which you are one, you 134 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:21,200 will respond wrongly and you will blame God for something 135 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,920 that he's about to do. Meanwhile you think he it was it 136 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,360 has delayed all because you have failed to descend the season in 137 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,000 which you are. When a student is writing exams, 138 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,680 that is not the time to begin to ask your teacher questions. 139 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,440 Have you seen a student writing final exams and you're asking a 140 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,320 teacher a question before? No, because it is not a season 141 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,760 of learning. It's a season of accountability, 142 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,800 a season for you towards to write what you have learned. 143 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,720 There was a particular time you were supposed to ask questions 144 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,560 you didn't ask. That was the season of learning, 145 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,920 season of asking questions. You failed to do that. 146 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,080 But now we are in the season of examination. 147 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,880 There is no way for you to ask. That is why when you cheat, you 148 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:08,080 are arrested or you are sacked. So there is time and season for 149 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,800 everything and this year it is my prayer. 150 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,640 God will give you that spiritual maturity because if you don't 151 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,720 have that spiritual maturity, you cannot descend the season in 152 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,320 which you are. When Joseph was in the pit, he 153 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,000 descend that it was a season. He will not be there forever. 154 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:30,200 When Joseph was telling his brothers concerning his dream, 155 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,160 it was a season. When he was in Potiphar's house, 156 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,720 it was a season. When he became the Prime 157 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,240 Minister, it was a season. Hallelujah. 158 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:44,160 Life is made-up of seasons and in every season there is time. 159 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,200 In every time there is moments. In the moments there are 160 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,240 opportunities. How are you treating these 161 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,120 things if the Lord does not open your eye to these things? 162 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,040 Ignorance in the House of the Lord is not an excuse. 163 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,320 Ignorance is not an excuse, so the Lord will bless you though, 164 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:11,080 but you need to descend what season in which you are and what 165 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,920 kind of blessing you are receiving and how to be able to 166 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,760 respond to it. Hallelujah. 167 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,400 Everything in life operates by seasons. 168 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,240 In Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse one, it says that to everything 169 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,680 there is a season. A season I'm defining a season. 170 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,560 A season is a period characterized by a specific 171 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,320 purpose and activity. A season is a period 172 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,640 characterized by a specific purpose and activity. 173 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,880 Seasons are not permanent. One thing I want us to 174 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,720 understand is a season is not permanent. 175 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,160 They change according to God's design. 176 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,560 That is why Joseph did not remain in the pit. 177 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,040 That is why when his brothers plotted against him, it ended 178 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,800 him in good. That was why when it was the 179 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,600 season of Christ Jesus to die, he did not remain in their 180 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,680 grave. When there was a season of 181 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,040 resurrection, He was up a season of kinship. 182 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,760 He's in heaven reigning. Hallelujah. 183 00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:17,560 Seasons are God's ordained, meaning that seasons are not 184 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,920 accidental. Seasons are not accidental. 185 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,640 They are arranged by God to shape and prepare and test and 186 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,160 also reward us. So look at the functions of 187 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,160 seasons. God has ordained seasons to 188 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,760 shape you in the 1st place, to prepare you in the second place, 189 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,040 to test you in the in the 3rd place, and the last one is to 190 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,520 reward you. Hallelujah. 191 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,240 We can find this pattern in the life of Jesus. 192 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,920 We can find this pattern in the life of Daniel. 193 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,240 We can find this pattern in the life of David. 194 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,760 We can find this pattern in the life of Moses. 195 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,920 And that pattern also is in your life only if you understand the 196 00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:05,160 season in which you are. Joseph had a season of dreams, a 197 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,200 season of prison, a season of palace. 198 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,520 Hallelujah. You might be in a season of 199 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,960 singleness. You might be in a season of a 200 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,720 season of poverty. You might be in a season of 201 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,120 confusion. You might be in a season of of 202 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,640 doubts. But the Lord is telling you that 203 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,000 seasons are not permanent. Hallelujah, seasons are not 204 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,160 permanent as I am single as I don't have a job. 205 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,080 What season in which am I in? What season is this? 206 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,560 How am I descending the season? Even in prison, Joseph received 207 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,400 revelation about the prison. Even in the pit Joseph received 208 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,000 revelation. He never forgot the God. 209 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,760 Even in your problems, you need to receive something from the 210 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,760 Lord. What season in which am I in? 211 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,520 I'm as single as I am in my singleness season. 212 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,920 What am I doing in this season? What do you want to tell me? 213 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,840 What am I supposed to accomplish? 214 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,120 David had a season of pasture. He was always a shepherd. 215 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,200 David has a season of persecution. 216 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,280 David had a season of kinship, so the seasons come one after 217 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,800 the other. If you understand your season, 218 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,760 you may fight. What's God? 219 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,640 If you, if you misunderstand, sorry. 220 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,760 If you misunderstand your season, you may fight what God 221 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,280 is using to prepare you. Hallelujah. 222 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,120 See, if you don't understand your season, you will fight what 223 00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:42,400 God is using to prepare you. Your singleness. 224 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,600 God is using it to prepare you. Right now you don't have money. 225 00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:50,480 God is using it to prepare you. Whatever situation you find 226 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,280 yourself right now, tell yourself God is using this 227 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:58,280 situation to prepare me. Someone might be a president of 228 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,880 Ghana today or tomorrow, but the state in which you are right 229 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,400 now, God is using that season to prepare you. 230 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,920 And if you do not descend that it is a season of preparation. 231 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,600 You speak against God. Hallelujah. 232 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,680 Seasons demand appropriate response, as I said. 233 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,200 If you understand your seasons, you need appropriate response. 234 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,200 We respond to our seasons. You cannot behave the same way 235 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:30,080 in every season. The way Joseph behaved with his 236 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,600 brothers, that was not the same way when he had a dream. 237 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,160 That's not the same way he behaved when he was in prison. 238 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,160 That wasn't the same way he behaved when he went to a 239 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,480 participants house and when he became Prime Minister. 240 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,280 You said that, Joseph. Grew. 241 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,800 Joseph. Oh yeah, Spiritual maturity. 242 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,760 Joseph grew. So in every season you must 243 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,480 grow. Hallelujah. 244 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,440 When you understand a season is here to to, to, to, to, to 245 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,760 prepare, to prepare you, to test you, to reward you, you must 246 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,760 grow. If you don't grow, you think you 247 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,720 have been tested your whole life because that particular season's 248 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,960 exams won't pass it. You didn't pass that season 249 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,880 exams in. What season are you in? 250 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,280 A planting season requires sowing. 251 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,000 You can't harvest during planting season with the Lord. 252 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,280 Open your eyes. Hallelujah. 253 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,240 You can't harvest during planting season. 254 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,840 You are supposed to be planting, but you want to harvest. 255 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,840 No, it's up to you to descend. You are waiting. 256 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,600 Your waiting season requires patience. 257 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,760 Some of you are your waiting seasons. 258 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,360 Some of you are your waiting seasons. 259 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,680 Someone is going through a problem. 260 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,320 The Lord is asking me to tell you to wait. 261 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,680 Be patient, be patient. You are in the waiting season, 262 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,240 so in a waiting season, it requires patience. 263 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,960 Sometimes when you're praying, don't pray that the Lord should 264 00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:03,080 take the blood away from you. Pray that the Lord will give you 265 00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:08,040 a stronger out, a stronger back to be able to carry it, because 266 00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:10,200 you cannot. There is no shortcut to heaven. 267 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,160 You must carry that load, but you need the patience enough to 268 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,520 wait upon the Lord. And Bible says those who wait 269 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,720 upon the Lord shall do what shall renew their strength. 270 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,880 A harvest season requires readiness. 271 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,080 A harvest season requires readiness. 272 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,200 Now many believers miss divine opportunities because they 273 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,120 respond wrongly to the season they are in. 274 00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:42,040 This morning. I pray the Lord will open your 275 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,360 eye for you to be able to respond in the right way. 276 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,920 If you are in a season of sowing, you don't need patience. 277 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,920 Or a season of planting you don't need patience. 278 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,160 If you are in a season of waiting, you do not need 279 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,840 readiness, You need what patience in your season. 280 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,360 What do you need in this season in which you are? 281 00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:06,000 What do you need? Ask the Lord. 282 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,680 The Lord is the person who you are supposed to ask in the 283 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,720 season in which I am, what do I need? 284 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,040 That is why He has given us the Holy Spirit who is our teacher. 285 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,960 Hallelujah. It's not about Him coming to 286 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,880 baptize you alone, but Bible also calls him as a teacher. 287 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,840 Every season has expiring dates. Every season has expiring dates. 288 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,360 No season, good or bad, lasts forever. 289 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,080 So even if it's a good season, it will not do it. 290 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,480 It will not last forever. That is why when the seven years 291 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,000 of what good food and everything came, Joseph was able to prepare 292 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,720 in that season. So that was the cow bottom, no 293 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,320 enjoyment and yes, I'll be enjoying. 294 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,160 It is good for you to enjoy, but as you enjoy, you're enjoying 295 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,760 wisdom because another season is coming that if you treat your 296 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,920 previous season well, you will not want to feel the heat. 297 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,800 Hallelujah. During the time of COVID, most 298 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:07,920 of us, they don't prepare for COVID. 299 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,240 It was a very serious season, a season that changed career. 300 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,120 It changed your decision making. Teachers were becoming both 301 00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:20,160 drivers. It will change you. 302 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,520 So if you are not prepared for a season, the season might change 303 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,480 you. And when the season changes you, 304 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,200 you might not like where you'll be. 305 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,920 This morning. The Lord is speaking to us. 306 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,880 Pain has an end. Pain can be a season. 307 00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:40,680 Pain it has an end. Delay has an end. 308 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:47,840 A one day, one day, one day, one day please, it will happen. 309 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,520 Hallelujah. Preparation has an end. 310 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,720 You will not be preparing for the rest of your life. 311 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,400 You won't keep on preparing for the rest of your life. 312 00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:02,840 No preparation has an end. Hallelujah, if God has allowed 313 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,840 the season, He has also determined when it will change. 314 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,960 So if God allows something to happen, He also knows when it or 315 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,920 what it will change. Hallelujah. 316 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,040 Now understanding the times, I want us to look at the times. 317 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,960 I was talking about season. Let's look at the times. 318 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:29,960 Understanding times God's appointed moments moments, 319 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,920 moments moments does not need 5 hours. 320 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,040 Moments can happen in 5 minutes. In 5 minutes the Lord can change 321 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,480 somebody's life. But if you are not descending to 322 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:48,040 know what God is doing, you might not want, want to do or 323 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,440 accept whatever that the Lord wants to bring you rejected 324 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:51,920 without knowing that you have rejected it. 325 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,200 Understanding times, God's appointed moments. 326 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:02,080 While seasons describe period time, time describes moments 327 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:07,760 within those periods. Time describes moments within 328 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,680 those periods. So a time to every purpose, as 329 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,920 we read over there, a time to every purpose. 330 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,360 So time is about divine appointments, say divine 331 00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:21,680 appointments, divine appointments. 332 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,920 God has set moments when certain things must happen. 333 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,360 As you are there, I want to announce to you that God has 334 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,000 already planned your life. You need to relax. 335 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,360 God has already planned your life. 336 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:43,680 He has planned everything. He has planned everything. 337 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,040 Do not worry about anything. God has planned your life. 338 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,120 So God has set moments when certain things must happen. 339 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,240 Jesus was born in the fullness of time. 340 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,600 When you read Galatians chapter 4, verse 4, Esther came to the 341 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,680 Kingdom for such a time. When you're reading the Bible, 342 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,760 it was only for such a time. Esther came to the Kingdom in a 343 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,640 particular time. Something is going to happen to 344 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,560 you. Something tremendous is about to 345 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:13,960 happen to you. Hallelujah. 346 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,360 You can be gifted, prepared and willing, but if the time is not 347 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:24,920 right, it will not work. If the time is not right, the 348 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,880 fact that you are prepared for marriage, you're prepared for a 349 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,560 new job, you're prepared for this, it doesn't mean it should 350 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,720 happen now. Go to the Lord and ask and then 351 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,880 be patient. Hallelujah. 352 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,000 Being early or late can be dangerous. 353 00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:48,440 Being early or late, it can be very dangerous. 354 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,680 Saul lost his kinship because he acted before God's time. 355 00:27:54,360 --> 00:27:59,800 He lost his kinship because he acted too late before God's 356 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,000 time, too early, sorry, before God's time. 357 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,840 Moses killed the Egyptian too early. 358 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,680 Abraham produced Ishmael before he refused. 359 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,160 He was refused to what to wait because he refused to wait. 360 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,080 Sorry. So meaning that if he had 361 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,800 waited, there wouldn't be anybody like what Ishmael now. 362 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,560 Rushing ahead of God can be a harmful, as harmful as 363 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:33,880 disobedience in life. If you rush before God, you 364 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,680 should be able to allow the Holy Spirit to be in front of you 365 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,480 this year. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead 366 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,120 you. Do not rush. 367 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,320 Don't listen to what society is saying. 368 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,840 Don't listen to even what your parents are saying. 369 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,800 Don't listen to what your friends are saying. 370 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,600 Don't listen to what people have said or has declared. 371 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,040 Some people have declared into your lives, but the only thing 372 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,040 I'm telling you this morning is patience and follow the Holy 373 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,040 Spirit. Don't let the Holy Spirit follow 374 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,240 you this year. Hallelujah. 375 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,400 Times are discovered through sensitivity. 376 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,560 If you are here and you are not sensitive to the Spirit, it is 377 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,680 my prayer that the Lord will equip your sensitivity within 378 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,120 you. Now those who work closely with 379 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:23,120 God descend time through prayer. Those who are closer to God, you 380 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,520 descend. I'm teaching you one of the ways 381 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,120 to descend. Descend. 382 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,600 Men can be a gift on its own and you can also acquire it. 383 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,040 You can descend the time of the Lord through prayer, Say Emre 384 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,080 Naswa, Uber who say Emre Naswa, if the time is up, everything 385 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,640 around you, the beds in the in the eye, in the air, there 386 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:45,400 leaves, everything will testify that your time has come. 387 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,520 Hallelujah. Through the Word of God, you can 388 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,840 also descend through the Word of God. 389 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,600 So if you are here, you don't pray, you don't read the word, 390 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,440 it will be difficult for you to descend the seasons and times in 391 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,600 which you are the leading of the Holy Spirit. 392 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,800 That is 1. So you see, they brought prayer, 393 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,960 they brought the Word, and then they brought the leading of the 394 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,040 Holy Spirit. These are the factors you can 395 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,760 use in descending. So Spiritual Descendant helps 396 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:22,720 you to know when to speak, when to wait, when to move, and when 397 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,800 to stop. You know, sometimes the Holy 398 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,000 Spirit wants you to stop, but you keep moving. 399 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,840 You need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. 400 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,160 So the closer you get to the Holy Spirit through prayer, 401 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,800 through the word of God, and I'm talking about consistency. 402 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,400 And yet now, Kaya, not two weeks later, you don't pray, you wake 403 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,440 up and go to work. No matter what happens, you 404 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,600 don't care. You don't know what has 405 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,760 happened. You just do whatever you like. 406 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,760 No, I'm talking about consistence. 407 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,480 If you know the purpose as to why God has called you, you'll 408 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,400 be consistent. In what? 409 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,720 In speaking to the Holy Spirit, because you know that the more 410 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,200 you talk to Him, you'll be able to descend the time in which you 411 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:04,800 are. Hallelujah. 412 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,200 Chances and opportunities in the Holy Spirit or in the Spirit. 413 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,400 Do you know there are chances and opportunities in the Spirit. 414 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,680 It's not just about the baptism. That's another chance. 415 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,760 Sometimes when you call someone to come and stand here. 416 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,040 If you have not been baptized by the Holy Spirit come, it's a 417 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,080 chance. It's a time opportunity or man 418 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,840 by you and you and you know within yourself. 419 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,160 You don't speak in tongues, but when you call them, they have 420 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,760 not descend the the season in which has opened. 421 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,840 Ahmed with how do you call it a testimony of that when I was in 422 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,920 how do you call it demo districts? 423 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,480 We're all parts of demo districts. 424 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,600 They've been calling for those who have been baptized by the 425 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,200 Holy Spirit. I want to wait for about two 426 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,360 people to come before I also come because I can't walk alone 427 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,080 over there. We've all gone through that 428 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,400 before. And any time I go, I want to be 429 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,360 baptized. But those who went early, they 430 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,640 all be baptized. So there was a time they had a 431 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,800 Christmas convention around this area. 432 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,840 I was the first person I learned that you must place value on 433 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,480 certain things. You must place value on certain 434 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,120 things. Most of us are going to be 435 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,040 baptized by the Holy Spirit because you don't even place 436 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,240 value on what they're asking you. 437 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,320 You don't place value on the partnership of the Holy Spirit 438 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:30,520 this year. So while seasons and times are 439 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:35,600 determined by God, chance represents opportunity that 440 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:40,120 requires human cooperation. Chance, or we say chance, it 441 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,240 represents opportunity that requires human cooperation. 442 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,840 When you read Eccles, the Answer, Chapter 9, verse 11, 443 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,840 please can you project it so that we read together Eccles the 444 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,520 Answer, Chapter 9, verse verse 11? 445 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:59,080 There is a time for everything and a season for every activity. 446 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,680 And no, I think this is wrong. Please. 447 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:11,520 Eccles, chapter 9911. I have seen something else under 448 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,880 the sun. The risk is not to the swift, 449 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,560 nor the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise, 450 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,880 or wealth to the brilliance, or favor to the world learn it. 451 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:30,320 But time and chance happens to them all, time and chance. 452 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,280 So as we are in this world, everybody is going to have a 453 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,960 chance and a time to have made it. 454 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,880 You want to be rich, you want to get married, whatever you want 455 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,440 to accomplish. God has given everybody equal 456 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,560 time, equal chance. The problem is how you are going 457 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,240 to make it happen. Hallelujah. 458 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,200 So this particular morning, the rich man's time is not different 459 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,600 from the poor man's time. God did not give the rich man 72 460 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,680 hours for one day, and He gave the poor man 24 hours. 461 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:07,080 We all have 24 hours, but the difference is how you manage 462 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,280 your seasons, how you manage your time. 463 00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:17,080 Hallelujah. Opportunity must be recognized. 464 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:22,239 Not every opportunity announces itself somehow, Say a Germany 465 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:23,400 hole. There's no work. 466 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,639 Oh, the man. These days, you don't see them. 467 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,159 They don't come. Opportunities does not announce 468 00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:33,400 itself. It does not announce itself. 469 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,679 Sometimes you, you have to see it. 470 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,080 It does not announce itself, but wildly it is me. 471 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,520 Oh, I'm here, I'm opportunity. No, it is not loud. 472 00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:48,679 It's very silent, but it takes those who are descending to see 473 00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:53,239 it's David's chance came as a shepherd boy delivering food. 474 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,239 Look at the time, the chance of David. 475 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,240 If he had missed that chance when he was a shepherd, he 476 00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:01,800 wouldn't have become a king. And look at the years he took 477 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,200 before that particular prophecy was came to pass. 478 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,880 It should have come when he was grown so that by then you become 479 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,040 a king. But look at the time David's 480 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,520 opportunity came when he was a shepherd. 481 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,640 So during the time that you are laboring for the Lord, you are 482 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,480 serving for the Lord. Please, I want you to see it as 483 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,480 an opportunity. Presiding was standing here 484 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,040 talking about those who don't want to be part of work at 485 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,240 church activities, church leadership, church work, please. 486 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,320 It is an opportunity. Is that a child who is going to 487 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,400 buy a car, one day when he or she is working, they begin to 488 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,920 ask for the price of a tie. This is the time to be asking 489 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,080 for the price of a tie because you know one day you are going 490 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,600 to buy a car. The Lord is presenting these 491 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,560 opportunities to us. When you do something for the 492 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,560 Lord at this particular time, this is a season that you need 493 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,960 to recognize that you need to invest in because one day your 494 00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:04,080 kinship will come. Hallelujah, Ruth. 495 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,280 Ruth's chance came through loyalty and humility. 496 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,280 We know the story of Ruth. Missed opportunities often look 497 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:19,840 ordinary at first. If David were not anointed by 498 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,000 how do you call it Samuel, he wouldn't have seen it as I don't 499 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,440 think it's anything. It looks normal at the first 500 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,840 time, but when you get to the time you're supposed to RIP, 501 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,720 that is when you remember the hair. 502 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,120 I didn't invest. I should have invest. 503 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,480 It's like these financial institutions they come to you. 504 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,840 Please funeral policy, please do it. 505 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,000 Do this thing Masa masa. Let me just all my family 506 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,040 members are alive. They are OK. 507 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,880 Nothing is going to happen to them in Jesus name, no equity. 508 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:56,920 Amen on you don't do it. Then in the next 10 years. 509 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,520 I'm not saying somebody should die in your family. 510 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,360 Something happens in some money for I should have. 511 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,760 I should have done that thing by this time. 512 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,400 Look at the amount of money I will have. 513 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,120 The Lord is speaking wisdom to someone this morning. 514 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,320 So opportunity must be acted upon. 515 00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:17,440 God opened doors but human must walk through them. 516 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:23,320 If you can't expect God to open door for you and push you inside 517 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,440 the door after opening the door, He has to still push you. 518 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:32,560 Hey, it can't happen he opens door, but it is up to you and I 519 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:37,200 to walk boldly into the door. A lot of doors has been open 520 00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:41,000 this particular you see and the doors funny enough, the doors 521 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,080 are not attractive. The doors are not attractive 522 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,520 until you enter. When you look at the doors, some 523 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,800 are some some are the things that presiding is talking about 524 00:37:50,240 --> 00:37:54,400 paying your tithe is a door offering is a door working for 525 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,760 the Lord is a door. Doors has been open, but we 526 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,240 don't descend enough to see what kind of door it is. 527 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,520 Come and be an usher. One day they will invite all of 528 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,640 you to Easter convention. You are also part of the ocean. 529 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:09,800 That is where you meet your husband. 530 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,000 But you don't know. Hey, this lady is very 531 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,560 hardworking. Where is she from? 532 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,560 Oh, she's from escape. Do English assembly. 533 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,120 Please. I have to go and make 534 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,200 investigation. Why? 535 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,880 Because you became an ocean at Easter convention. 536 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,560 Imagine you rejected the ocean over here. 537 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,440 You have missed your destiny, so do not look at little little 538 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,080 things. As As for this one, if I miss 539 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,240 it, it's nothing. Please, we are missing a lot of 540 00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:38,920 opportunities that is causing us a lot this morning. 541 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,680 The Lord is telling you that you need to open your eye. 542 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:46,440 So if He opens the door, human beings must walk through this 543 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,760 door. I'll be bringing the sermon to 544 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,160 an end very soon. Faith without action produces no 545 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,040 results. Hey, you can have a faith as big 546 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,680 as a mountain. No action. 547 00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,760 You still remain where you are. Delay in obedience can close 548 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:07,280 doors, delay in obedience. We must not delay in obeying the 549 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,640 Lord and obeying the Lord. It comes from the leadership 550 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,160 over here. It comes from your boss at work. 551 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,240 It comes from a friend. Instructions come from a whole 552 00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:18,760 lot, a lot of places. The Lord gives instruction from 553 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,160 different, different arenas. It's up to you to descend that 554 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,040 this is coming from the Lord. I want us to look look at the 555 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,360 law of due season. The next thing I'll talk about 556 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:35,440 is the law of due season. Galatians chapter 6 verse 9. 557 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:40,480 In due season we shall reap if we faint not. 558 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,680 That was the scripture I used. Now due season is guaranteed. 559 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,000 It's not optional, it's guaranteed. 560 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,800 God promised harvest, but not immediately. 561 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,920 God has promised the harvest. You will harvest, but it's not 562 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,560 what immediately. There is a gap between sowing 563 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,360 and reaping. You see, sometimes you shouldn't 564 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,400 look at God as as if he's wicked. 565 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,440 Even if a farmer, there is a time a farmer shows something 566 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,040 into the woods, into the soil, and there's a time a farmer what 567 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,480 rips or harvests. Some of us sometimes want to put 568 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,360 God in an ATM machine that the moment you press. 569 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,000 Send. The answer will come. 570 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,680 But God is not like that. Sometimes you need to send the 571 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,560 account of gold in which you have accepted. 572 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,080 There is a gap between sowing and ripping. 573 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:40,080 That gap is called waiting. Say waiting, say waiting. 574 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,720 And it is my prayer that the Lord will give you endurance. 575 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,200 He will give you patience. See, one of the things that I 576 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,560 pray for is that you see, the one who will be able to be what 577 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,640 faithful to the end will make it to heaven. 578 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:59,800 Even that it's not about being faithful for two weeks or for 579 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,720 one week, like we said, the one who will be faithful to the end. 580 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,240 So when I'm praying, one of the things I pray for is God give me 581 00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:11,840 endurance, give me patience, give me long-suffering to be 582 00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:18,920 able to stand. Hallelujah, so weariness is the 583 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,480 greatest enemy of harvest. If you are weary this morning, 584 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,440 if you are worried, the Lord is telling you that please do not 585 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,440 worry. Hallelujah. 586 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,320 Many believers quit praying too soon. 587 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:33,800 We have been praying for one year. 588 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,160 The Lord has not answered, so we have stopped. 589 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,240 You quit being faithful too soon. 590 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,960 God, you told me you provide for me, so I'll stop changing 591 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,240 married men. Now I'm not seeing anything, so 592 00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:51,240 then let me go back here because it's like I wasting my time. 593 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,640 Then you go back. A lot of instances will 594 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:59,400 compromise. Don't stop obeying even if you 595 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,000 don't understand. Sometimes when you want to be 596 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,880 obedient to God, you need to apply this. 597 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,160 Don't apply. Don't ask too much questions. 598 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,800 Obey the law without asking questions. 599 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:15,400 Don't stop trusting in God. Heaven rewards consistency, not 600 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,800 convenience. One thing I want you to 601 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,840 understand is Heaven rewards consistency. 602 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,280 As you have taken your time and you are going through step by 603 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:31,000 step, moment by moment, season by season, day by day, night by 604 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,800 night, you are going through. You don't neglect the Lord. 605 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,800 You are taking your time in prayer. 606 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,440 When you are crying, you still believe in the Lord. 607 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,720 When you are happy, you still believe in the Lord. 608 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,160 When you are going through any kind of challenges, you still 609 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,520 believe in the Lord. Just as Joseph went through, he 610 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:50,680 never neglected the Lord. Heaven rewards consistency. 611 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,680 So this morning we will pray about consistency. 612 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,960 We do something right the next day we change to the next one. 613 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,760 If we are on the left side, we have to be on the left side. 614 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,600 If we are on the right side, you have to be on the right side. 615 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:10,720 Heaven rewards consistency. Don't compare your season with 616 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:15,320 another person's season. Don't compare your seasons. 617 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,120 Hey God, I came into this church at this video. 618 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,080 I was even here before her. She has gotten married and I'm 619 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,440 still here. We have different times and 620 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,440 different seasons. Hallelujah, Different callings, 621 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,880 different timing. Learn patience as a spiritual 622 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:33,200 discipline. Now. 623 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,960 Waiting is not weakness, it is wisdom. 624 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,680 We are praying for that wisdom. Waiting upon the Lord is not 625 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:44,760 weakness, it is wisdom. Stay faithful in hidden seasons. 626 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:50,120 God often promotes privately before publicly see the more you 627 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,360 are consistent in waiting for the Lord, you are patient. 628 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,040 He rewards you privately before it appears. 629 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,720 What publicly may the Lord do that for you? 630 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:03,320 Hallelujah. Trust God even when timing 631 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,760 confuses you if you when the timing you think it is what's 632 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:11,240 wrong. Please trust the Lord as I bring 633 00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:15,440 the sermon to an end. Divine timing teaches us that 634 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,480 seasons if you forget everything, please don't forget 635 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:24,080 this divine timing. Timing according to the Holy 636 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:30,440 Ghost that particular season teaches us that seasons prepare 637 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,720 us. That is 1/2 time positions you. 638 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,080 If season has prepared you, then time will position you. 639 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,600 Chance requires action. So it means that chance means 640 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,720 opportunity. It requires action. 641 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:47,080 It means you don't have to sit down. 642 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,400 You have to keep praying. You have to keep reading the 643 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,600 word. You have to keep doing the work 644 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,560 of the Lord. When you're when you understand 645 00:44:54,560 --> 00:45:00,440 God's timing, you stop forcing doors and start walking through 646 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:02,520 doors. God open. 647 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,760 So some of us, we force doors to open. 648 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:11,080 Those doors are not for you. The same God who started the 649 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,760 process knows exactly when to complete it. 650 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:22,880 If God has given you a promise, He has also scheduled its 651 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,200 fulfillment. Hallelujah. 652 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:33,040 Do not be wary and do not give up because your due season is 653 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,800 coming. May the Lord bless us. 654 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:48,280 Amen. You shall we be on our feet? 655 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:57,040 Don't give up yet. I'm in control watching over. 656 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:06,600 You to the end. Life may be dark, I'll. 657 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:14,280 Be your light in your weakness. My. 658 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:22,320 My grace revealed, look out to me. 659 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:32,120 Rely on you. Keep trusting me in all you do. 660 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:41,360 Surely. My prayer senses with you surely 661 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:52,640 be true, will be your head. Look out to me, rely on me, 662 00:46:54,880 --> 00:47:06,120 intrusting me in all you do. Show me, my grandson says when 663 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:12,480 you show living dream will be your. 664 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,280 Shall we only resume our seats and let's stretch our hands and 665 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,400 bless our elder God richly bless you. 666 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,520 I believe we have all heard the word of God. 667 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:33,720 He has told us about divine timing, understanding seasons, 668 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:40,920 times and chances in a season and then when he was speaking, 669 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,240 in fact, we are not going to pray for long. 670 00:47:43,240 --> 00:47:47,520 The word of God is straightforward, but when he was 671 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:51,600 preaching, another scripture also came to mind and I want to 672 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,760 draw our attention. That is Ecclesias chapter 12 673 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:59,120 verse one, Ecclesias chapter 12 verse one. 674 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,600 And it says that remember your Creator in the days of your 675 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,280 youth, before your days of trouble come. 676 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:14,000 And the years approach when you will say, I find no pleasure in 677 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,960 them. If you like, we can put it this 678 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,960 way. Remember your Creator in the 679 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:26,840 season of your youth. Remember your Creator in the 680 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:31,720 season of your youth, before your season of trouble. 681 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:38,440 Come and continue. Amen. 682 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,760 And then when he was preaching, this picture came to mind. 683 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:44,680 We have this. Our father here. 684 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,800 Mr. Quit. Mr. Quit, please give us a 685 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,240 weave. I know you all know him. 686 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,640 He's in his season. I am in my season. 687 00:48:55,720 --> 00:49:00,560 You are also in your season. I got to know Mr. Quay almost a 688 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:04,640 year now, or maybe 1 1/2 year since I got to know him. 689 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,640 Every morning he comes to church, he's never late. 690 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,480 I'm trying to draw your attention to something. 691 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:15,080 I don't know how he spent his youthful days. 692 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:16,880 I'm talking about what I have seen. 693 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:26,680 And so in his season now look at his reaction towards the Church 694 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,400 of God, how he comes to church early. 695 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,960 And then I'm asking myself, should he have the strength or 696 00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,360 should he be more youthful? How would he have reacted? 697 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:43,240 Maybe during his youthful days? I don't, I wouldn't go there. 698 00:49:43,720 --> 00:49:47,200 But the point I'm drawing attention is that even in his 699 00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:51,520 current season, look at him myself. 700 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,600 I should look at my current season. 701 00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,160 And you also look at your current season. 702 00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:00,880 So the Word of God is saying that whenever you miss your 703 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:05,040 season, whenever you miss your season. 704 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,200 So what it means is that there is an appointed season for each 705 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:13,160 and every one of us, that when you miss, you are too. 706 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:22,640 Hello. And so as you are Saturday, I 707 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:27,680 want you to think contemplates on the season in which you find 708 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:33,960 yourself and how you are reacting, how you are responding 709 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:40,280 to your season. But Solomon is saying that all 710 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:44,840 Solomon is advising is that at least for each and every one of 711 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,880 us, do not forget, Solomon is the wisest person. 712 00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:51,960 The Bible describes him despite all the foolish things he did. 713 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,360 The Bible describes you as the wisest person. 714 00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:59,760 And he's saying that remember your Creator in the days of your 715 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:02,920 youth, in the season of your youth. 716 00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,840 So what it means is that if there is a season that we don't 717 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:10,480 need to miss, it is during our youthful seasons. 718 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:18,240 Hello. And so how are you handling your 719 00:51:18,240 --> 00:51:23,920 youthful season? How are you handling some of us? 720 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,040 We are using our youthful season to chase money. 721 00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:33,480 We are using our youthful season to seek for the things of our 722 00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,760 pleasure. They are all good. 723 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,400 But we shouldn't forget that as people of God, as children of 724 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:45,960 God, the Bible has told us that we should first of all seek the 725 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:50,480 Kingdom of God and all the others shall be given unto us. 726 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:54,960 But unfortunately, in our youthful season, we are chasing. 727 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,720 We are looking for the pleasures of life. 728 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,600 There are some of us. The Lord has deposited great 729 00:52:04,720 --> 00:52:08,840 talent and skills in us that He's expecting that we will 730 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:12,920 worship Him with it. Yet we are wasting it. 731 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,760 We are wasting it. Shall we be on our feet? 732 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:26,400 Look up to me. Rely on you. 733 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:33,000 Trust me in all you do. Surely. 734 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:42,280 My pray that this is with you.
