The People And The Season - Bliss & Fire Network Weekly Digest - April 8, 2014

  |   Author: Pastor Wales Goriola

“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” –Ecclesiastes 3:1

“I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.” –Ecclesiastes 3:17

EXPLORATION

Our lives as human being are filled with seasons. And every season is filled situations that will either make the season bright or dull. But God has given everyone of us, as believers in Christ, the power to brighten our season.

INSPIRATION

God, our Father in heaven, in His infinite Mercy, Grace, and Goodness has prepared from the beginning of the foundation of the earth people that will be part of the seasons our lives and these people are given the power to operate in three ways in our lives. And these are:

The Power For A Season.

These are appointed for a season, as wonderful, kind and helpful they may be, or brought to your life—their time with you are limited. Be grateful for them, thank God continually for their life and be ready to release them in their season. Don’t hold back that you may be blessed.

The Power For A Reason

These are like fruit with seed in that you should never eat the fruit and the seed, but the seeds are meant to be planted to bring great harvest. That is… you may put much in them, nurture, and wait on the Lord for them as you fight their battle in life, but as soon as their testimony shows up… they are gone. They will always have every reason to look up to something else. But be joyful to enjoy their season in your life and focus your eye on Christ the Author and the Finisher of our Faith. Remember the seed you have sown will surely bring a harvest.  

The Power For A Purpose And Vision

These are the ones we all always hope for… they are given the power to see the vision and run the purpose with you. They don’t only see you physically, they see Christ in you, the hope and Glory. (Colossians 1:27) It is very important to discern such people when the Lord sends them your way. Though they may not know they are given such power by God, their appearance and their needs likewise may not indicate that they were sent from God.
They will bear all seasons with you, they will be there in good times and in the time of struggle, if they leave—they will again show up at your door step. They are like Peter that when Jesus asked “Will you also leave me?” (John 6:67) 

“After that, many of the followers of Jesus left him and stopped travelling around with him. Jesus said to the twelve disciples, `Will you also leave me?' Simon Peter answered, `Lord, to whom shall we go? It is you who has told us how we may live forever. We believe now, and we know it is true. You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'” - John 6:66-69

They are Armor bearers, they are intercessors that stand in the gap for the vision and purpose when you are weak. They look beyond their needs (selfless) and protect the vision. Though they may not know why they are doing all they do—but God knows.

All these are to keep us focused on God alone and not anyone. Hence, we need to enjoy every season of our lives because the ones God sends for that season may not be there in another season of your life and ministries.

Finally this week, as you brighten your season by the power of God through Christ Jesus, see that you discern these people in your seasons and invest wisely in their lives, praying for them, and see them manifest in life and in their season. Be thankful for everyone and never cease to call upon the Lord for them to be blessed.

Remember the Bible says, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” –Romans 8:28

We are praying for you,
