  16. Let's give a clap offering unto the Lord.

  17. You can do better, please. Let's give a clap offering, a

  18. better offering unto God. Bless God so much.

  19. So it's time for the Word of God.

  20. Please raise your Bible up if you have it on your phone or

  21. physical Bible. I want to see your Bible.

  22. If you have it on your phone, raise your phone up.

  23. Yes, You don't go to farm without a cat, lass.

  24. Yes. So it's time for the Word of

  25. God. Let's get our notebooks and our

  26. Bibles ready as we humbly invite Elder Kinsley appear to give us

  27. the Word of God. Please, let's give him.

  28. A clap, Hallelujah. Oh Hallelujah.

  29. Praise the Lord we thank you so much for another day.

  30. He has granted us life and once there is life there is hope.

  31. Hallelujah. I thank God he already asked you

  32. your Bible because I was about to do that.

  33. So since he has already asked, then because this morning it's

  34. not more about preaching, I want us to learn a little, it's more

  35. about teaching and a little preaching.

  36. Hallelujah. We know that this particular

  37. year the theme is the church unleashed to transform society

  38. through the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

  39. So if we are under the power of the Holy Spirit within this

  40. year, it is very important for you to understand the divine

  41. timing of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit also works with

  42. time. He's not, how do I even put it,

  43. He's not engulfed or let's say trapped in the time of man, but

  44. he works in his own time. Hallelujah.

  45. So under the topic, under the theme, the topic I brought out

  46. was divine timing, understanding seasons, times and chances in

  47. the spirit Hallelujah. Divine timing, understanding

  48. seasons, times and chances in the spirit Hallelujah.

  49. So I want us to open to ecclesiasis chapter 3 verse one

  50. if you can kindly project it for us.

  51. Ecclesiasis chapter 3 verse one. So I want us to read together.

  52. Please look on the screen we are all reading together Ready go

  53. chapter 3 verse one so there is time for normally hear all of us

  54. saying there is time for everything.

  55. It's a scripture, it's in the Bible.

  56. There is time for everything and a season for every activity.

  57. So when I say every activity, imagine the activities you go

  58. through. That is what I'm talking about.

  59. Every activity you can think about.

  60. Activities in your family, at home, in the church, every

  61. activity under the heavens. Hallelujah.

  62. So to everything there is a season.

  63. Now if you are not able to understand the seasons very

  64. well, we respond to seasons and if your respond to any season is

  65. the wrong respond, you'll be like God is not actually looking

  66. at you, but you have failed to descend the kind of season in

  67. which you are Hallelujah. When you read Galatians chapter

    Galatians 6:9

  68. 6 verse 9, it says that and let us not be wary in well doing for

  69. in due season we shall rape Hallelujah if we faint nots.

  70. I like that last one. We shall rape say let us not

  71. become wary in doing good for at the prosper time or sorry proper

  72. time. I like using in due season.

  73. Aha. We shall what reap a harvest if

  74. we do not give up. I want you to look at your

  75. friend and tell him or her that the year has just begun.

  76. Tell them the year. Do not give up.

  77. I'm reading the introduction. It says that one of the greatest

  78. struggles of believers is not faith itself.

  79. We do not have a problem with faith, but timing.

  80. Hallelujah. We have the faith, but we have

  81. problem with timing. Many believers or many people

  82. believe God can do it. Meaning when we pray about

  83. something this year we have prayed a lot.

  84. We believe God can do it, but the struggle is with when God

  85. will do it. Hallelujah.

  86. Just like yeah we believe oh God will do it, but our struggle

  87. within is when God will do it. So when someone is praying about

  88. something, the person has prayed about it, but you see the person

  89. asking that question like so God, when so God, when so.

  90. Believers struggle with timing. Delayed answers often cause

  91. frustration, often cause doubt, impatience, and sometimes

  92. compromise. If somebody is compromising here

  93. this morning, the Lord has sent me to tell you that don't give

  94. up. Hallelujah, someone is

  95. compromising this morning. You are frustrated, you are

  96. doubting, impatient about whatever you have prayed about

  97. and it's about to frustrate you. The Lord is telling you do not

  98. compromise His relationship for nothing in this world.

  99. Hallelujah, someone will tell you there's a shortcut here,

  100. young faha. Oh, you get your answer right

  101. now. Do not compromise.

  102. Yet Scripture reveals that God is not lit, neither is he early.

  103. He is always on time. Divine timing teaches us that

  104. life does not move randomly. Life does not move, meaning if I

  105. say it does not move randomly. Meaning you can't determine

  106. where your life is moving. Today you are set, tomorrow it

  107. will jump to J, the next day it will jump to kill.

  108. Life is not like that. It does not move randomly.

  109. God operates by seasons, God operates by time, and God

  110. operates by opportunity. Hallelujah.

  111. So let's let's, let's let's look at this.

  112. God operates by what seasons? He operates by time and he

  113. operates by what opportunity. Previously, I was the local

  114. evangelism leader. One, it was an opportunity. 2IN

  115. God's time, I was supposed to be that.

  116. And in that season there's a purpose for that particular

  117. office. If I did not do whatever God

  118. asked me to do, that time has passed and there's nothing I can

  119. do about it. Again, I can't go back for it

  120. this morning. Wherever you have been placed

  121. this year, in the church, at your workplace, in the family,

  122. please get to know that it's an opportunity.

  123. It's a season. Whatever problem you are going

  124. through, even problems are seasons.

  125. Hallelujah. By the end of the lesson, you'll

  126. be able to understand a lot concerning seasons and times, so

  127. you know which season in which you are.

  128. So, as I said, God operates by seasons, by times and

  129. opportunities, and spiritual maturity is learning how to

  130. descend and cooperate with them. This morning it's my prayer that

  131. God will give you spiritual maturity.

  132. Now Gopon Emmao spiritual maturity to be able to descend,

  133. meaning if you don't descend the season in which you are one, you

  134. will respond wrongly and you will blame God for something

  135. that he's about to do. Meanwhile you think he it was it

  136. has delayed all because you have failed to descend the season in

  137. which you are. When a student is writing exams,

  138. that is not the time to begin to ask your teacher questions.

  139. Have you seen a student writing final exams and you're asking a

  140. teacher a question before? No, because it is not a season

  141. of learning. It's a season of accountability,

  142. a season for you towards to write what you have learned.

  143. There was a particular time you were supposed to ask questions

  144. you didn't ask. That was the season of learning,

  145. season of asking questions. You failed to do that.

  146. But now we are in the season of examination.

  147. There is no way for you to ask. That is why when you cheat, you

  148. are arrested or you are sacked. So there is time and season for

  149. everything and this year it is my prayer.

  150. God will give you that spiritual maturity because if you don't

  151. have that spiritual maturity, you cannot descend the season in

  152. which you are. When Joseph was in the pit, he

  153. descend that it was a season. He will not be there forever.

  154. When Joseph was telling his brothers concerning his dream,

  155. it was a season. When he was in Potiphar's house,

  156. it was a season. When he became the Prime

  157. Minister, it was a season. Hallelujah.

  158. Life is made-up of seasons and in every season there is time.

  159. In every time there is moments. In the moments there are

  160. opportunities. How are you treating these

  161. things if the Lord does not open your eye to these things?

  162. Ignorance in the House of the Lord is not an excuse.

  163. Ignorance is not an excuse, so the Lord will bless you though,

  164. but you need to descend what season in which you are and what

  165. kind of blessing you are receiving and how to be able to

  166. respond to it. Hallelujah.

  167. Everything in life operates by seasons.

  168. In Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse one, it says that to everything

    Ecclesiastes 3 chapter mention

  169. there is a season. A season I'm defining a season.

  170. A season is a period characterized by a specific

  171. purpose and activity. A season is a period

  172. characterized by a specific purpose and activity.

  173. Seasons are not permanent. One thing I want us to

  174. understand is a season is not permanent.

  175. They change according to God's design.

  176. That is why Joseph did not remain in the pit.

  177. That is why when his brothers plotted against him, it ended

  178. him in good. That was why when it was the

  179. season of Christ Jesus to die, he did not remain in their

  180. grave. When there was a season of

  181. resurrection, He was up a season of kinship.

  182. He's in heaven reigning. Hallelujah.

  183. Seasons are God's ordained, meaning that seasons are not

  184. accidental. Seasons are not accidental.

  185. They are arranged by God to shape and prepare and test and

  186. also reward us. So look at the functions of

  187. seasons. God has ordained seasons to

  188. shape you in the 1st place, to prepare you in the second place,

  189. to test you in the in the 3rd place, and the last one is to

  190. reward you. Hallelujah.

  191. We can find this pattern in the life of Jesus.

  192. We can find this pattern in the life of Daniel.

  193. We can find this pattern in the life of David.

  194. We can find this pattern in the life of Moses.

  195. And that pattern also is in your life only if you understand the

  196. season in which you are. Joseph had a season of dreams, a

  197. season of prison, a season of palace.

  198. Hallelujah. You might be in a season of

  199. singleness. You might be in a season of a

  200. season of poverty. You might be in a season of

  201. confusion. You might be in a season of of

  202. doubts. But the Lord is telling you that

  203. seasons are not permanent. Hallelujah, seasons are not

  204. permanent as I am single as I don't have a job.

  205. What season in which am I in? What season is this?

  206. How am I descending the season? Even in prison, Joseph received

  207. revelation about the prison. Even in the pit Joseph received

  208. revelation. He never forgot the God.

  209. Even in your problems, you need to receive something from the

  210. Lord. What season in which am I in?

  211. I'm as single as I am in my singleness season.

  212. What am I doing in this season? What do you want to tell me?

  213. What am I supposed to accomplish?

  214. David had a season of pasture. He was always a shepherd.

  215. David has a season of persecution.

  216. David had a season of kinship, so the seasons come one after

  217. the other. If you understand your season,

  218. you may fight. What's God?

  219. If you, if you misunderstand, sorry.

  220. If you misunderstand your season, you may fight what God

  221. is using to prepare you. Hallelujah.

  222. See, if you don't understand your season, you will fight what

  223. God is using to prepare you. Your singleness.

  224. God is using it to prepare you. Right now you don't have money.

  225. God is using it to prepare you. Whatever situation you find

  226. yourself right now, tell yourself God is using this

  227. situation to prepare me. Someone might be a president of

  228. Ghana today or tomorrow, but the state in which you are right

  229. now, God is using that season to prepare you.

  230. And if you do not descend that it is a season of preparation.

  231. You speak against God. Hallelujah.

  232. Seasons demand appropriate response, as I said.

  233. If you understand your seasons, you need appropriate response.

  234. We respond to our seasons. You cannot behave the same way

  235. in every season. The way Joseph behaved with his

  236. brothers, that was not the same way when he had a dream.

  237. That's not the same way he behaved when he was in prison.

  238. That wasn't the same way he behaved when he went to a

  239. participants house and when he became Prime Minister.

  240. You said that, Joseph. Grew.

  241. Joseph. Oh yeah, Spiritual maturity.

  242. Joseph grew. So in every season you must

  243. grow. Hallelujah.

  244. When you understand a season is here to to, to, to, to, to

  245. prepare, to prepare you, to test you, to reward you, you must

  246. grow. If you don't grow, you think you

  247. have been tested your whole life because that particular season's

  248. exams won't pass it. You didn't pass that season

  249. exams in. What season are you in?

  250. A planting season requires sowing.

  251. You can't harvest during planting season with the Lord.

  252. Open your eyes. Hallelujah.

  253. You can't harvest during planting season.

  254. You are supposed to be planting, but you want to harvest.

  255. No, it's up to you to descend. You are waiting.

  256. Your waiting season requires patience.

  257. Some of you are your waiting seasons.

  258. Some of you are your waiting seasons.

  259. Someone is going through a problem.

  260. The Lord is asking me to tell you to wait.

  261. Be patient, be patient. You are in the waiting season,

  262. so in a waiting season, it requires patience.

  263. Sometimes when you're praying, don't pray that the Lord should

  264. take the blood away from you. Pray that the Lord will give you

  265. a stronger out, a stronger back to be able to carry it, because

  266. you cannot. There is no shortcut to heaven.

  267. You must carry that load, but you need the patience enough to

  268. wait upon the Lord. And Bible says those who wait

  269. upon the Lord shall do what shall renew their strength.

  270. A harvest season requires readiness.

  271. A harvest season requires readiness.

  272. Now many believers miss divine opportunities because they

  273. respond wrongly to the season they are in.

  274. This morning. I pray the Lord will open your

  275. eye for you to be able to respond in the right way.

  276. If you are in a season of sowing, you don't need patience.

  277. Or a season of planting you don't need patience.

  278. If you are in a season of waiting, you do not need

  279. readiness, You need what patience in your season.

  280. What do you need in this season in which you are?

  281. What do you need? Ask the Lord.

  282. The Lord is the person who you are supposed to ask in the

  283. season in which I am, what do I need?

  284. That is why He has given us the Holy Spirit who is our teacher.

  285. Hallelujah. It's not about Him coming to

  286. baptize you alone, but Bible also calls him as a teacher.

  287. Every season has expiring dates. Every season has expiring dates.

  288. No season, good or bad, lasts forever.

  289. So even if it's a good season, it will not do it.

  290. It will not last forever. That is why when the seven years

  291. of what good food and everything came, Joseph was able to prepare

  292. in that season. So that was the cow bottom, no

  293. enjoyment and yes, I'll be enjoying.

  294. It is good for you to enjoy, but as you enjoy, you're enjoying

  295. wisdom because another season is coming that if you treat your

  296. previous season well, you will not want to feel the heat.

  297. Hallelujah. During the time of COVID, most

  298. of us, they don't prepare for COVID.

  299. It was a very serious season, a season that changed career.

  300. It changed your decision making. Teachers were becoming both

  301. drivers. It will change you.

  302. So if you are not prepared for a season, the season might change

  303. you. And when the season changes you,

  304. you might not like where you'll be.

  305. This morning. The Lord is speaking to us.

  306. Pain has an end. Pain can be a season.

  307. Pain it has an end. Delay has an end.

  308. A one day, one day, one day, one day please, it will happen.

  309. Hallelujah. Preparation has an end.

  310. You will not be preparing for the rest of your life.

  311. You won't keep on preparing for the rest of your life.

  312. No preparation has an end. Hallelujah, if God has allowed

  313. the season, He has also determined when it will change.

  314. So if God allows something to happen, He also knows when it or

  315. what it will change. Hallelujah.

  316. Now understanding the times, I want us to look at the times.

  317. I was talking about season. Let's look at the times.

  318. Understanding times God's appointed moments moments,

  319. moments moments does not need 5 hours.

  320. Moments can happen in 5 minutes. In 5 minutes the Lord can change

  321. somebody's life. But if you are not descending to

  322. know what God is doing, you might not want, want to do or

  323. accept whatever that the Lord wants to bring you rejected

  324. without knowing that you have rejected it.

  325. Understanding times, God's appointed moments.

  326. While seasons describe period time, time describes moments

  327. within those periods. Time describes moments within

  328. those periods. So a time to every purpose, as

  329. we read over there, a time to every purpose.

  330. So time is about divine appointments, say divine

  331. appointments, divine appointments.

  332. God has set moments when certain things must happen.

  333. As you are there, I want to announce to you that God has

  334. already planned your life. You need to relax.

  335. God has already planned your life.

  336. He has planned everything. He has planned everything.

  337. Do not worry about anything. God has planned your life.

  338. So God has set moments when certain things must happen.

  339. Jesus was born in the fullness of time.

  340. When you read Galatians chapter 4, verse 4, Esther came to the

    Galatians 4:4

  341. Kingdom for such a time. When you're reading the Bible,

  342. it was only for such a time. Esther came to the Kingdom in a

  343. particular time. Something is going to happen to

  344. you. Something tremendous is about to

  345. happen to you. Hallelujah.

  346. You can be gifted, prepared and willing, but if the time is not

  347. right, it will not work. If the time is not right, the

  348. fact that you are prepared for marriage, you're prepared for a

  349. new job, you're prepared for this, it doesn't mean it should

  350. happen now. Go to the Lord and ask and then

  351. be patient. Hallelujah.

  352. Being early or late can be dangerous.

  353. Being early or late, it can be very dangerous.

  354. Saul lost his kinship because he acted before God's time.

  355. He lost his kinship because he acted too late before God's

  356. time, too early, sorry, before God's time.

  357. Moses killed the Egyptian too early.

  358. Abraham produced Ishmael before he refused.

  359. He was refused to what to wait because he refused to wait.

  360. Sorry. So meaning that if he had

  361. waited, there wouldn't be anybody like what Ishmael now.

  362. Rushing ahead of God can be a harmful, as harmful as

  363. disobedience in life. If you rush before God, you

  364. should be able to allow the Holy Spirit to be in front of you

  365. this year. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead

  366. you. Do not rush.

  367. Don't listen to what society is saying.

  368. Don't listen to even what your parents are saying.

  369. Don't listen to what your friends are saying.

  370. Don't listen to what people have said or has declared.

  371. Some people have declared into your lives, but the only thing

  372. I'm telling you this morning is patience and follow the Holy

  373. Spirit. Don't let the Holy Spirit follow

  374. you this year. Hallelujah.

  375. Times are discovered through sensitivity.

  376. If you are here and you are not sensitive to the Spirit, it is

  377. my prayer that the Lord will equip your sensitivity within

  378. you. Now those who work closely with

  379. God descend time through prayer. Those who are closer to God, you

  380. descend. I'm teaching you one of the ways

  381. to descend. Descend.

  382. Men can be a gift on its own and you can also acquire it.

  383. You can descend the time of the Lord through prayer, Say Emre

  384. Naswa, Uber who say Emre Naswa, if the time is up, everything

  385. around you, the beds in the in the eye, in the air, there

  386. leaves, everything will testify that your time has come.

  387. Hallelujah. Through the Word of God, you can

  388. also descend through the Word of God.

  389. So if you are here, you don't pray, you don't read the word,

  390. it will be difficult for you to descend the seasons and times in

  391. which you are the leading of the Holy Spirit.

  392. That is 1. So you see, they brought prayer,

  393. they brought the Word, and then they brought the leading of the

  394. Holy Spirit. These are the factors you can

  395. use in descending. So Spiritual Descendant helps

  396. you to know when to speak, when to wait, when to move, and when

  397. to stop. You know, sometimes the Holy

  398. Spirit wants you to stop, but you keep moving.

  399. You need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

  400. So the closer you get to the Holy Spirit through prayer,

  401. through the word of God, and I'm talking about consistency.

  402. And yet now, Kaya, not two weeks later, you don't pray, you wake

  403. up and go to work. No matter what happens, you

  404. don't care. You don't know what has

  405. happened. You just do whatever you like.

  406. No, I'm talking about consistence.

  407. If you know the purpose as to why God has called you, you'll

  408. be consistent. In what?

  409. In speaking to the Holy Spirit, because you know that the more

  410. you talk to Him, you'll be able to descend the time in which you

  411. are. Hallelujah.

  412. Chances and opportunities in the Holy Spirit or in the Spirit.

  413. Do you know there are chances and opportunities in the Spirit.

  414. It's not just about the baptism. That's another chance.

  415. Sometimes when you call someone to come and stand here.

  416. If you have not been baptized by the Holy Spirit come, it's a

  417. chance. It's a time opportunity or man

  418. by you and you and you know within yourself.

  419. You don't speak in tongues, but when you call them, they have

  420. not descend the the season in which has opened.

  421. Ahmed with how do you call it a testimony of that when I was in

  422. how do you call it demo districts?

  423. We're all parts of demo districts.

  424. They've been calling for those who have been baptized by the

  425. Holy Spirit. I want to wait for about two

  426. people to come before I also come because I can't walk alone

  427. over there. We've all gone through that

  428. before. And any time I go, I want to be

  429. baptized. But those who went early, they

  430. all be baptized. So there was a time they had a

  431. Christmas convention around this area.

  432. I was the first person I learned that you must place value on

  433. certain things. You must place value on certain

  434. things. Most of us are going to be

  435. baptized by the Holy Spirit because you don't even place

  436. value on what they're asking you.

  437. You don't place value on the partnership of the Holy Spirit

  438. this year. So while seasons and times are

  439. determined by God, chance represents opportunity that

  440. requires human cooperation. Chance, or we say chance, it

  441. represents opportunity that requires human cooperation.

  442. When you read Eccles, the Answer, Chapter 9, verse 11,

  443. please can you project it so that we read together Eccles the

  444. Answer, Chapter 9, verse verse 11?

  445. There is a time for everything and a season for every activity.

  446. And no, I think this is wrong. Please.

  447. Eccles, chapter 9911. I have seen something else under

  448. the sun. The risk is not to the swift,

  449. nor the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise,

  450. or wealth to the brilliance, or favor to the world learn it.

  451. But time and chance happens to them all, time and chance.

  452. So as we are in this world, everybody is going to have a

  453. chance and a time to have made it.

  454. You want to be rich, you want to get married, whatever you want

  455. to accomplish. God has given everybody equal

  456. time, equal chance. The problem is how you are going

  457. to make it happen. Hallelujah.

  458. So this particular morning, the rich man's time is not different

  459. from the poor man's time. God did not give the rich man 72

  460. hours for one day, and He gave the poor man 24 hours.

  461. We all have 24 hours, but the difference is how you manage

  462. your seasons, how you manage your time.

  463. Hallelujah. Opportunity must be recognized.

  464. Not every opportunity announces itself somehow, Say a Germany

  465. hole. There's no work.

  466. Oh, the man. These days, you don't see them.

  467. They don't come. Opportunities does not announce

  468. itself. It does not announce itself.

  469. Sometimes you, you have to see it.

  470. It does not announce itself, but wildly it is me.

  471. Oh, I'm here, I'm opportunity. No, it is not loud.

  472. It's very silent, but it takes those who are descending to see

  473. it's David's chance came as a shepherd boy delivering food.

  474. Look at the time, the chance of David.

  475. If he had missed that chance when he was a shepherd, he

  476. wouldn't have become a king. And look at the years he took

  477. before that particular prophecy was came to pass.

  478. It should have come when he was grown so that by then you become

  479. a king. But look at the time David's

  480. opportunity came when he was a shepherd.

  481. So during the time that you are laboring for the Lord, you are

  482. serving for the Lord. Please, I want you to see it as

  483. an opportunity. Presiding was standing here

  484. talking about those who don't want to be part of work at

  485. church activities, church leadership, church work, please.

  486. It is an opportunity. Is that a child who is going to

  487. buy a car, one day when he or she is working, they begin to

  488. ask for the price of a tie. This is the time to be asking

  489. for the price of a tie because you know one day you are going

  490. to buy a car. The Lord is presenting these

  491. opportunities to us. When you do something for the

  492. Lord at this particular time, this is a season that you need

  493. to recognize that you need to invest in because one day your

  494. kinship will come. Hallelujah, Ruth.

  495. Ruth's chance came through loyalty and humility.

  496. We know the story of Ruth. Missed opportunities often look

  497. ordinary at first. If David were not anointed by

  498. how do you call it Samuel, he wouldn't have seen it as I don't

  499. think it's anything. It looks normal at the first

  500. time, but when you get to the time you're supposed to RIP,

  501. that is when you remember the hair.

  502. I didn't invest. I should have invest.

  503. It's like these financial institutions they come to you.

  504. Please funeral policy, please do it.

  505. Do this thing Masa masa. Let me just all my family

  506. members are alive. They are OK.

  507. Nothing is going to happen to them in Jesus name, no equity.

  508. Amen on you don't do it. Then in the next 10 years.

  509. I'm not saying somebody should die in your family.

  510. Something happens in some money for I should have.

  511. I should have done that thing by this time.

  512. Look at the amount of money I will have.

  513. The Lord is speaking wisdom to someone this morning.

  514. So opportunity must be acted upon.

  515. God opened doors but human must walk through them.

  516. If you can't expect God to open door for you and push you inside

  517. the door after opening the door, He has to still push you.

  518. Hey, it can't happen he opens door, but it is up to you and I

  519. to walk boldly into the door. A lot of doors has been open

  520. this particular you see and the doors funny enough, the doors

  521. are not attractive. The doors are not attractive

  522. until you enter. When you look at the doors, some

  523. are some some are the things that presiding is talking about

  524. paying your tithe is a door offering is a door working for

  525. the Lord is a door. Doors has been open, but we

  526. don't descend enough to see what kind of door it is.

  527. Come and be an usher. One day they will invite all of

  528. you to Easter convention. You are also part of the ocean.

  529. That is where you meet your husband.

  530. But you don't know. Hey, this lady is very

  531. hardworking. Where is she from?

  532. Oh, she's from escape. Do English assembly.

  533. Please. I have to go and make

  534. investigation. Why?

  535. Because you became an ocean at Easter convention.

  536. Imagine you rejected the ocean over here.

  537. You have missed your destiny, so do not look at little little

  538. things. As As for this one, if I miss

  539. it, it's nothing. Please, we are missing a lot of

  540. opportunities that is causing us a lot this morning.

  541. The Lord is telling you that you need to open your eye.

  542. So if He opens the door, human beings must walk through this

  543. door. I'll be bringing the sermon to

  544. an end very soon. Faith without action produces no

  545. results. Hey, you can have a faith as big

  546. as a mountain. No action.

  547. You still remain where you are. Delay in obedience can close

  548. doors, delay in obedience. We must not delay in obeying the

  549. Lord and obeying the Lord. It comes from the leadership

  550. over here. It comes from your boss at work.

  551. It comes from a friend. Instructions come from a whole

  552. lot, a lot of places. The Lord gives instruction from

  553. different, different arenas. It's up to you to descend that

  554. this is coming from the Lord. I want us to look look at the

  555. law of due season. The next thing I'll talk about

  556. is the law of due season. Galatians chapter 6 verse 9.

    Galatians 6:9

  557. In due season we shall reap if we faint not.

  558. That was the scripture I used. Now due season is guaranteed.

  559. It's not optional, it's guaranteed.

  560. God promised harvest, but not immediately.

  561. God has promised the harvest. You will harvest, but it's not

  562. what immediately. There is a gap between sowing

  563. and reaping. You see, sometimes you shouldn't

  564. look at God as as if he's wicked.

  565. Even if a farmer, there is a time a farmer shows something

  566. into the woods, into the soil, and there's a time a farmer what

  567. rips or harvests. Some of us sometimes want to put

  568. God in an ATM machine that the moment you press.

  569. Send. The answer will come.

  570. But God is not like that. Sometimes you need to send the

  571. account of gold in which you have accepted.

  572. There is a gap between sowing and ripping.

  573. That gap is called waiting. Say waiting, say waiting.

  574. And it is my prayer that the Lord will give you endurance.

  575. He will give you patience. See, one of the things that I

  576. pray for is that you see, the one who will be able to be what

  577. faithful to the end will make it to heaven.

  578. Even that it's not about being faithful for two weeks or for

  579. one week, like we said, the one who will be faithful to the end.

  580. So when I'm praying, one of the things I pray for is God give me

  581. endurance, give me patience, give me long-suffering to be

  582. able to stand. Hallelujah, so weariness is the

  583. greatest enemy of harvest. If you are weary this morning,

  584. if you are worried, the Lord is telling you that please do not

  585. worry. Hallelujah.

  586. Many believers quit praying too soon.

  587. We have been praying for one year.

  588. The Lord has not answered, so we have stopped.

  589. You quit being faithful too soon.

  590. God, you told me you provide for me, so I'll stop changing

  591. married men. Now I'm not seeing anything, so

  592. then let me go back here because it's like I wasting my time.

  593. Then you go back. A lot of instances will

  594. compromise. Don't stop obeying even if you

  595. don't understand. Sometimes when you want to be

  596. obedient to God, you need to apply this.

  597. Don't apply. Don't ask too much questions.

  598. Obey the law without asking questions.

  599. Don't stop trusting in God. Heaven rewards consistency, not

  600. convenience. One thing I want you to

  601. understand is Heaven rewards consistency.

  602. As you have taken your time and you are going through step by

  603. step, moment by moment, season by season, day by day, night by

  604. night, you are going through. You don't neglect the Lord.

  605. You are taking your time in prayer.

  606. When you are crying, you still believe in the Lord.

  607. When you are happy, you still believe in the Lord.

  608. When you are going through any kind of challenges, you still

  609. believe in the Lord. Just as Joseph went through, he

  610. never neglected the Lord. Heaven rewards consistency.

  611. So this morning we will pray about consistency.

  612. We do something right the next day we change to the next one.

  613. If we are on the left side, we have to be on the left side.

  614. If we are on the right side, you have to be on the right side.

  615. Heaven rewards consistency. Don't compare your season with

  616. another person's season. Don't compare your seasons.

  617. Hey God, I came into this church at this video.

  618. I was even here before her. She has gotten married and I'm

  619. still here. We have different times and

  620. different seasons. Hallelujah, Different callings,

  621. different timing. Learn patience as a spiritual

  622. discipline. Now.

  623. Waiting is not weakness, it is wisdom.

  624. We are praying for that wisdom. Waiting upon the Lord is not

  625. weakness, it is wisdom. Stay faithful in hidden seasons.

  626. God often promotes privately before publicly see the more you

  627. are consistent in waiting for the Lord, you are patient.

  628. He rewards you privately before it appears.

  629. What publicly may the Lord do that for you?

  630. Hallelujah. Trust God even when timing

  631. confuses you if you when the timing you think it is what's

  632. wrong. Please trust the Lord as I bring

  633. the sermon to an end. Divine timing teaches us that

  634. seasons if you forget everything, please don't forget

  635. this divine timing. Timing according to the Holy

  636. Ghost that particular season teaches us that seasons prepare

  637. us. That is 1/2 time positions you.

  638. If season has prepared you, then time will position you.

  639. Chance requires action. So it means that chance means

  640. opportunity. It requires action.

  641. It means you don't have to sit down.

  642. You have to keep praying. You have to keep reading the

  643. word. You have to keep doing the work

  644. of the Lord. When you're when you understand

  645. God's timing, you stop forcing doors and start walking through

  646. doors. God open.

  647. So some of us, we force doors to open.

  648. Those doors are not for you. The same God who started the

  649. process knows exactly when to complete it.

  650. If God has given you a promise, He has also scheduled its

  651. fulfillment. Hallelujah.

  652. Do not be wary and do not give up because your due season is

  653. coming. May the Lord bless us.

  654. Amen. You shall we be on our feet?

  655. Don't give up yet. I'm in control watching over.

  656. You to the end. Life may be dark, I'll.

  657. Be your light in your weakness. My.

  658. My grace revealed, look out to me.

  659. Rely on you. Keep trusting me in all you do.

  660. Surely. My prayer senses with you surely

  661. be true, will be your head. Look out to me, rely on me,

  662. intrusting me in all you do. Show me, my grandson says when

  663. you show living dream will be your.

  664. Shall we only resume our seats and let's stretch our hands and

  665. bless our elder God richly bless you.

  666. I believe we have all heard the word of God.

  667. He has told us about divine timing, understanding seasons,

  668. times and chances in a season and then when he was speaking,

  669. in fact, we are not going to pray for long.

  670. The word of God is straightforward, but when he was

  671. preaching, another scripture also came to mind and I want to

  672. draw our attention. That is Ecclesias chapter 12

  673. verse one, Ecclesias chapter 12 verse one.

  674. And it says that remember your Creator in the days of your

  675. youth, before your days of trouble come.

  676. And the years approach when you will say, I find no pleasure in

  677. them. If you like, we can put it this

  678. way. Remember your Creator in the

  679. season of your youth. Remember your Creator in the

  680. season of your youth, before your season of trouble.

  681. Come and continue. Amen.

  682. And then when he was preaching, this picture came to mind.

  683. We have this. Our father here.

  684. Mr. Quit. Mr. Quit, please give us a

  685. weave. I know you all know him.

  686. He's in his season. I am in my season.

  687. You are also in your season. I got to know Mr. Quay almost a

  688. year now, or maybe 1 1/2 year since I got to know him.

  689. Every morning he comes to church, he's never late.

  690. I'm trying to draw your attention to something.

  691. I don't know how he spent his youthful days.

  692. I'm talking about what I have seen.

  693. And so in his season now look at his reaction towards the Church

  694. of God, how he comes to church early.

  695. And then I'm asking myself, should he have the strength or

  696. should he be more youthful? How would he have reacted?

  697. Maybe during his youthful days? I don't, I wouldn't go there.

  698. But the point I'm drawing attention is that even in his

  699. current season, look at him myself.

  700. I should look at my current season.

  701. And you also look at your current season.

  702. So the Word of God is saying that whenever you miss your

  703. season, whenever you miss your season.

  704. So what it means is that there is an appointed season for each

  705. and every one of us, that when you miss, you are too.

  706. Hello. And so as you are Saturday, I

  707. want you to think contemplates on the season in which you find

  708. yourself and how you are reacting, how you are responding

  709. to your season. But Solomon is saying that all

  710. Solomon is advising is that at least for each and every one of

  711. us, do not forget, Solomon is the wisest person.

  712. The Bible describes him despite all the foolish things he did.

  713. The Bible describes you as the wisest person.

  714. And he's saying that remember your Creator in the days of your

  715. youth, in the season of your youth.

  716. So what it means is that if there is a season that we don't

  717. need to miss, it is during our youthful seasons.

  718. Hello. And so how are you handling your

  719. youthful season? How are you handling some of us?

  720. We are using our youthful season to chase money.

  721. We are using our youthful season to seek for the things of our

  722. pleasure. They are all good.

  723. But we shouldn't forget that as people of God, as children of

  724. God, the Bible has told us that we should first of all seek the

  725. Kingdom of God and all the others shall be given unto us.

  726. But unfortunately, in our youthful season, we are chasing.

  727. We are looking for the pleasures of life.

  728. There are some of us. The Lord has deposited great

  729. talent and skills in us that He's expecting that we will

  730. worship Him with it. Yet we are wasting it.

  731. We are wasting it. Shall we be on our feet?

  732. Look up to me. Rely on you.

  733. Trust me in all you do. Surely.

  734. My pray that this is with you. Surely the tree will be your

  735. end. Who come to me, really trust in

  736. me. Shall you bow down your head and

  737. pray? What have you heard this

  738. morning? What season are you in?

  739. Have you wasted the season within the next one minute?

  740. Just pray and commit yourself into the hands of the Lord Jesus

  741. wherever you need to make our men speak to You.

  742. Father, we want to thank You for a moment.

  743. Like us, we want to rededicate ourselves on Jesus as Your Word

  744. has reminded us of the importance of the CCS You have

  745. given unto us. We pray, but we shall not keep

  746. the ceases for granted. Thank you, Lord, but we shall

  747. make use of it. Jesus so that your name keep

  748. Jesus survive but. Rather close keep.

  749. Shall we humbly resume our seats as our brother Cornelius Priest?

  750. Shall we pray? King of Kings and Lord of Lords,

  751. Father, we give you glory for the message that we have heard

  752. today. Father, as we have reflected on

  753. the seasons and times, Father, Lord, we pray in the name of

  754. your son Jesus Christ, Father. Lord, whatever season that we

  755. are in now at this particular moment, I pray.

  756. Whatever season that you find yourself, whether you're in a

  757. season of sickness, whether you're in a season of looking

  758. for a job, whether in a season of looking for marriage, I pray

  759. in the name of your son Jesus, that this shall be given unto

  760. you. In the name of your Son Jesus

  761. Christ Father, I pray, come and be with us.

  762. Guide us with your grace and mercy, so that King of Kings, we

  763. shall forever give you praise and adoration.

  764. In Jesus mighty name have prayed, Amen.
