...Due Season

As we approach the end of the year it has been a mixture of rough and smooth, fast and slow.. So many rush hour activities- hustling and bustling to garner all what we can. 2020 has indeed been a tough year for everyone but in all i am so glad we are all still here getting ready for the new year in excitement...

In my personal assessment for the year something came across my heart which i feel is a major challenge in a world of uncertainty. "In due Season" As simple as it sound, this is a powerful adverb that carries a perfect or timely reward after a deed has been done continuously for an undocumented period of time. Take note of the word "undocumented" - Our time of reaping whatever we sow can't be predicted because that power belongs to God.

The Bible says in Gal 6:9 " let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart". This got me thinking 🤔 It's tad easy to keep saying that when things are going our way or to encourage ourselves in the Lord when doing good but how many of us keep the good attitude through all the difficult times we face? The world we live in is filled with secular wisdom that might dissuade us from keeping that perfect spirit in difficult times.

A loving person who was taken advantage of would be told to be less loving and should love with wisdom - this is one of those wise statements you probably must have heard while being heartbroken. But Christ has never asked we His children to be less loving if for anything, He wants you and I to be all about loving and helping. If the Bible says do not be weary in well doing for in due season ye shall reap. What happens when our due season comes and find us no longer worthy of the blessings we've toiled so hard for? - this has been a disturbing thought because according to the world you must have changed from the naive or weak being you once were as conceived by the world. But we are not of the world we operate beyond the human understanding. So our lives are not dictated by the physical but by Faith.

Maintaining uprightness in the midst of disappointment, heartbreak, pain, failure, death etc is a task too many fail at and that's the joy of the devil - but tough times never last tough people do!

Going through suffering as a child of God isn't meant to destroy you but it's meant to refine you! Suffering kills the weakness in you for the birth of a more robust version - in suffering your mess becomes your message because then you can boldly say "..in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."(Rom 8:37). So you are not meant to change for bad because of what you have been through, You are meant to be better because of what you have become...

What if what happened to Jesus happens now in 2020? Being betrayed by the ones He loved and cared for.. Being denied by the ones he loved... Spat on by the ones He transformed with His word... Nailed by the ones He came to set free... Killed by the ones He came to save... He had the worst experience in human history but he didn't stop loving because he was waiting for His due season! "Weeping may enndure for the night but joy cometh in the morning (Psalm 30:5)

You are not meant to be less trusting when someone disappoints you. No, you are meant to even trust better by using your trust to build more trustworthy people! You are not meant to be less loving when someone breaks your heart, you are meant to love more because in love, more souls can be won for Christ! And that aids your environment to be more loving. Living for Christ is doing everything that contradicts the human world - We are at the opposite side of life because we are of God!

The world wants you to be humanly wise exactly what satan did to eve at the garden of Eden - Eve became wise in her own eyes and see where it led us all?. But the Bible says do not be wise in your own understanding! True wisdom comes from God! The world will try to bend you, shake you, reshapen your thoughts, make you become the person that hurt you but the word for you today and for the last days of the year is "Do not be weary in well doing"...

Christ went through hell in His stay on earth and he never changed for bad. Instead He influenced His environment with His love. The more He was hurt the more mercy he showed because he has seen the end and becoming weary would've shattered the plan to save the world! So anytime you try to be weary remember that's what the devil wants! - In Due Season you shall surely reap what you sowed if you don't give up! Happy New Year In Advance 🤗🎄🎉
