July 2017: A season and a Time

Prophetically seven signifies the number of completeness and perfection (both physical and spiritual). It derives much of its meaning from being tied directly to God's creation of all things. According to Jewish tradition, the creation of Adam occurred on October 7th, 3761 B.C. (or the first day of Tishri, which is the seventh month on the Hebrew calendar).

There are 7 days in a week and God's Sabbath is on the 7th day which is declared as a day of rest according to the commandments.

In the book of Hebrews, written by the apostle Paul, he uses seven titles to refer to Christ. The titles are 'Heir of all things' (Hebrews 1:2), 'Captain of our salvation' (2:10), 'Apostle' (3:1), 'Author of salvation' (5:9), 'Forerunner' (6:20), 'High Priest' (10:21) and the 'Author and finisher of our faith' (12:2).

Jesus performed seven of His miracles on God’s Holy Sabbath day.

Like the Old Testament Passover lamb, Jesus was selected as the Lamb to take away man's sins on the Hebrew day of Nisan 10 (April 1, 30 A.D. - John 12: 28 - 29). He was crucified on Nisan 14 (Wednesday, April 5 in 30 A.D.). His resurrection occurred, exactly as he stated, three days and three nights after he was buried, which was at the end of the weekly Sabbath day that fell on Nisan 17 (seventeen symbolizes victory). Nisan 17 was also the eighth day, counting inclusively, from the time Christ was selected as man's sacrificial Lamb. All this bears record of Jesus' perfect sacrifice and His complete victory over death.

The sun and moon were created to give light to the earth, to separate day from night, and serve as signs to mark seasons, days and years. Time, is a temporary interruption in eternity. It is a commodity that can neither be bought nor sold. The only thing you can do with time is use it. If you don’t use it, you lose it. If time doesn’t work in your favour, it will work against you. Time and seasons are instruments of measurement, assessment, planning and perfection. Time is an effective tool in the hands of God in planning and executing his plans. In time, everything that has a beginning must have an end. If God did not create time and seasons, there will be no end to terror, sickness, disease, misfortune, misunderstanding, quarrels, poverty and illiteracy, failure and disappointment, corruption and wickedness. In fact, there will be no end to evil.

Dictionary Definitions: A season is a division of the year or Period of the year marked by particular weather patterns and daylight hours, resulting from the earth changing position with regards to the sun.

Time is the part of existence that is measured in minutes, days, years, etc. Or this process considered as a whole.

Daniel 2:21 ISV “It is God who alters the times and seasons, and he removes kings and promotes kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. “

Change is the greatest Challenge of our time. One thing is certain, the Scriptures make a distinction between the “temporal” and the “eternal.” Paul says that the things that are seen are “temporal” but the things not seen are “eternal” (2 Corinthians. 4:18)

God created all things, season and time, the season are in place and they are appointed to start and finish at a set time. In these season there are bound to be things that will die and some that will come to life, for they have been appointed for such to happen at that period. There is a season to sow and there is a time to reap a harvest.

***Therefore the most powerful realities on earth are seasons and time***

When a sower sows in a season, he is expecting and believing nature to play its part and watches over the seed by nurturing and tendering to the grounds on which he planted. Nature is God’s impute and the germination is entirely in God’s ordered time.

Jeremiah 27: 5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are on the ground by My great Power and My outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed Proper to Me.

The time of birth is entirely in God’s time, pregnancy may be know, but the labour period and precise time of birth is of the Lord. Some delay in someone not being able to give birth can be of the Lord. Hannah’s lack of pregnancy was of the Lord.

1 Samuel 1:5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, although the Lord had closed her womb

***May the Lord consider you worthy of the works of His hand***

But season cannot withhold a timeless God, as in any season God can make the impossible possible. In a season where some are experiencing famine, God can choose to bless you. Isaac was blessed at a time of Famine.

Genesis 26: 1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham….

Verse 2 And the Lord appeared unto him and said .go not down to Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of

Verse 3: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee and bless thee...

Verse 12: Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.

Also check out the story of the man at the pool of Bethsida, he sojourn at a city that that was called beautiful, a place of mercy and favour, he was not favoured for 38 years and every season he kept expecting and trying that he might get into the pool but it was impossible but what was impossible for him became possible when Jesus stepped into the situation, It was out of season for the angel of the Lord had come and stirred the water and had left, But when God came the season did not matter for it was his set time for a miracle. His long awaited miracle. (John 5:1-8)

***This is your appointed time to receive an usual miracle ***

Hannah has been going to Shiloh for a long time but this year was different, For divinity had now decided that it was her time to conceive, so this time she cried out with a vow, and she was given a set time of favour and she gave birth to Samuel

1 Samuel 1: 19-20 Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her. So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the Lord.”

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, It will not tarry.

Hear this Abraham and Sarah were both out of season, but the Lord proclaimed a set time for Sarah to give birth and at the appointed time Sarah delivered Isaac.

Genesis 18: 13-14 And the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”

Genesis 21: 1-2 And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.


***Time is of the Lord. He is the only one out of time and always in Tim***

Tomorrow at about this time you are coming into your miracle, you are going to be favoured, there will be no more delay to your expectation, and no more timeless visit to your Shiloh for this is your appointed time. Your set time is now receive and begin a season for glory, for honour, receive grace to excel.

WORD CREATES LIFE AND MIRACLES, SPEAK YOUR MIRACLE INTO EXISTENCE TODAY

Isaiah makes me realise that you can speak to the heavens and earth, so prophesy to this land let it begin to favour you in the name of Jesus



Jeremiah 17: 7-8 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

There are times we must go against what we see in order to achieve what God’s purpose is for our life. We need God’s wisdom and trust and obedience to start turning things around.

Proverbs 8: 12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
