Managing your God given times and season

Time is advancing you to what you have been praying for. Please do not allow your created pressure, anxiety and impatience to cause you to judge God foolishly!

As a reminder, every purpose is governed by times and seasons, Eccl. 3:1. Therefore, it will make no difference how many times we ask God for a particular thing or how loud we scream for it in prayer. The law of "Time and seasons" is the one governing the time and season it will be revealed. All of us have an assigned amount of time to exist on the earth and with in that time frame, there are certain things that all of us will experience.

However, prior to any of the things that I'm about to mention can take place we must exist first, pretty obvious right? This is why Eccl 3:2, starts off by saying, "There is a time to be born and a time to die". In other words we are assigned a certain period of time and season in the earth, which is from the time of birth to the time of death to accomplish a specific purpose. However the fulfilling of whatever that purpose is will require the following experiences that no matter what your purpose maybe, you will encounter and have to deal with the following:

a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace, Eccl. 3:2-8.

I said all of that to get to this very simple but very much overlooked point and that is absolutely nothing is forever. The reality of this post is very much real to those that have recently lost folks that were quite dear to them. It is during such times of (death) that we quickly realize that all of us and all things will one day be referred to in the past tense...... Meaning its time has expired!

Scripture further tells us that, "A wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment, Eccl 8:5. Simply put, a man who understands the law of "time and seasons" understands that along with time being assigned to everything, there is also a judgement that accompanies it. We are accountable for the time given to our purpose. This is why we are commanded to Redeeming the time, because the days are evil, Eph5:16.

I want to say to someone, stop wasting time and focus on doing what God has placed you in the earth to do, while using the scriptural tools of Eccl 3:2-8 to accomplish your purpose in the earth. The day will come just like those that have gone before us, when you and I will have to stand before the supreme judge of time and give an account of how we maximize and managed our allotted time in the earth.

Beware Of The Delilah Spirit

We have unique skills, talents, and passions that God instilled. These innate abilities and aspirations drive us to achieve our goals and reach our full potential in life. Whether in our personal or professional lives, we constantly enable these God-given talents and skills to improve ourselves and to achieve more. 

Our success and prosperity reflect the dreams and ideas that God has placed within us, and it is up to us to nurture and pursue them with diligence and determination. We constantly strive to improve ourselves and achieve more in our personal or professional lives. Our success and prosperity reflect the dreams and ideas that God has placed within us, and it is up to us to nurture and pursue them with diligence and determination.

Many of us fail to acknowledge certain areas of our lives as private, leading us to believe that everyone is as enthusiastic about our success as we are. As a result, we may unintentionally give unauthorized access to others who, more than likely, are on a mission to disable the source of our success. Samson's story in the Bible is a perfect example of this.

The secret to Samson's strength was his seven locks of hair. Of course, only Samson and his parents were exposed to this knowledge. As long as he kept this information to himself, he could advance, conquer, and defeat his enemies effortlessly.

Unlike most believers of Jesus Christ, Satan understands the importance of discovering the source of power, success, and favor of an individual. Such origins become the target for destruction; in Samson's case, it was his hair.

Satan understands that to obtain sensitive information, he must convince us to connect with someone we believe to be trustworthy, but in reality, this person is not a true friend. This is actually a ploy to distract us and sabotage the source of our success in life.

Samson, who was clearly bewitched by Delilah, believed that this woman assigned by Satan was everything that he wanted in a woman; however, like so many of us. Samson refused to see the apparent signs of betrayal because he assumed she felt the same way about him as he did about her.

As in Samson's case, a clear indication that someone is on assignment by Satan in your life is when that person becomes determined to know the personal areas of your life but reveals very little if any, information about their own life.
Another red flag that this person is a trap set for you is their unashamed persistence in retrieving this information.

Thirdly, Just like Delilah, when this person is convinced they have discovered your secrets, immediate troubles follow you.

After their previous schemes and ploys failed, based on the information they thought they had, the perpetrators go back to the drawing board of deception with no shame. They then resort to playing on the sympathy of their victim, all the while determined to destroy them.

Samson made a mistake by revealing the secret of his strength to Delilah, who was working as an agent of Satan. Delilah then shared this information with others who conspired against Samson. As a result, Samson's life took a turn for the worse, and he experienced no further progress, promotion, or joy.

It's important to understand the consequences when your enemies get access to information intended for your eyes and ears only. The scripture reminds us of this by saying, "Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin." (Proverbs 13:3)

Scripture also says that a man will experience joy by the answer of his mouth and how wonderful it is when words are spoken in due season or the right time. (Proverbs 15:23)

It is essential to be aware that the spirit of Delilah may be present in your life. To avoid falling victim to this spirit, it is highly recommended that you pay attention to the signs mentioned above and take proactive measures in filtering those with whom you share sensitive information. This particular spirit preys on the emotions and compassion of its victims as a way to achieve their underlying motives. Stay vigilant and mindful of the people you trust.
