There Is A Spiritual Discipline and Protocol To Our Divine Seasons

  On the way home today, I observed a few mango trees that were budding already, indicating that mango season is approaching.

What caught my attention was that all the mango trees I saw today were in different areas. In fact, they were miles apart from each other. The point I am attempting to get at here is this. Even though they are nowhere near each other, each mango tree is aware of its season and has already begun producing in its season.

The only thing that was required from these trees was to weather the elements and allow the ground in which they are planted to supply the nutrients so that when their season arrives, it will be automatic for these trees to produce the mango fruit.

As human beings, God has programmed us to experience certain seasons. However, just like the mango tree, our seasons are designed to produce certain fruits if we weather the elements (life challenges) and stay grounded in the word of God.

Psalm 1:2-3 provides a classic illustration: "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth HIS FRUIT IN HIS SEASON; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper."

According to the above scripture, producing our fruit in the seasons assigned to us must follow a spiritual discipline and protocol. The protocol starts by insisting that we meditate on the scriptures day and night. Not sometimes, not only when troubles arise, not only when we're asked by a Pastor or religious leader to read it. Instead, we must take the initiative and discipline to meditate on the Holy Bible DAY & NIGHT! Following scripture's protocol, commands, and precepts literally prepares us for our assigned seasons.

The result of this discipline, according to scripture, has compared us to a tree planted by the rivers of water. In other words, meditating on the word DAY & NIGHT also becomes the source we need to maintain and sustain us until our specific season comes.

The scripture further adds that "he shall bring forth "HIS FRUIT IN HIS SEASON." Therefore, according to this scripture, I am led to believe that NOT EVERYONE EXPERIENCES THE SAME SEASON AT THE SAME TIME! Each person during their life span has particular seasons assigned to them by God, and whatever this person does in their season according to the will of God MUST PROSPER, simply because it is their SEASON TO PROSPER! If folks understand that this scripture clearly states that everyone has seasons assigned to them when they follow the spiritual discipline and protocol of Psalm 1. Then, they would not allow the spirit of jealousy to invade their life to derail them from focusing on the word of God that's preparing them for their season. Unfortunately, many will miss their season because they were too busy hating on the prospering seasons of others.

I don't know who is reading this post right now, but what I do know is that God has inspired me via his Holy Spirit this morning to tell you that your failure to focus on God's word, as opposed to criticizing the prospering seasons of others, has caused you to miss your seasons. In fact, he said to tell you that your lack of spiritual discipline in not meditating on his word day and night and, by extension, being a doer of His word has caused you to seek shortcuts to get to your seasons. You've allowed so-called prophets to mislead you with their false prophecies, asking you to sow financial seeds that was supposed to catapult you into your season. Of course, their false claims and gimmicks have yet to come to pass and never will because they directly violate the spiritual laws concerning our seasons assigned by God.

God said to observe those you know who are experiencing their seasons. The common denominator among them is their commitment to his word. God said to tell you that it is his word that conditions you for the seasons he's designed for you. To reject or ignore his command to meditate on his word day and night is equivalent to a fruit tree pulling up its roots, deciding to reside in a desert place, and foolishly anticipating fruit when the season for it to produce arrives.

The word of the Lord to whoever reads this: discipline yourself by meditating on the scriptures day and night and making it applicable to your life. Through this process, the spirit of the Lord will realign you to your divine seasons and cause things to line up for you. Dismiss the snake oil salesmen of Satan and commit to doing it God's way going forward.

    1. How much information can you retain? There is a reason that we discipline ourselves to study. As we did in school we should do in life. Pray for direction with your study. Is there an area in your life where you seek answers? God searches our intentions as well as our hearts. Matthew 6:33 puts it so plainly "seek ye first the kingdom of God". Begin there and see where it leads you.
