The Night Comes

TEXT: John 9:4, MORE LESSONS: Ecc. 3:1-2

Everything in life is about time and season; man, plant and animal, even the earth, all have seasons. All of creation have seasons and what is done in its season prospers (v1). Jesus recognised this and insisted, I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day Jn.9:4a because ...the night cometh, when no man can work Jn.9:4b. Time is a very essential commodity and to a child of destiny, every second counts. Except by God's intervention, when a man misses his season, he loses it for life. Therefore be conscious that you don't have all the time and begin to manage your time well. Many people are in ruin because of how they managed their youth. They messed up their morning hours thinking there would always be opportunities. Unfortunately, they realised too late that they made a mistake.

I have heard people say time is money but the truth is time is more than money, time is life. Even God does things at the right time, But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law Gal.4:4. Anybody who messes up your time has messed up your life. How then can you manage your time?

1. Spend your time with eternity in view.

2. Never invest your time in anything that is not beneficial to your destiny in the short or long run.

3. Never be ruled by procrastination. Tomorrow may never be yours, so if something is worth doing, do it now.

4. Don't be intimate with people who have no purpose for their days.

5. Never give room for an enemy to steal or while away your time; redeem your times.

6. Don't ever be careless with an opportunity in life because it may never come again.

7. Invest every hour of your life profitably and never forget to review how you spend your day at the close of it.

If you have lost certain seasons of life, God is the God of all seasons, so, there is hope for you. Abraham and Sarah, Zachariah and Elizabeth all lost their season of child birth, yet God made all things beautiful for them in His own time. He gave them all that they were supposed to have, Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's Psa.103:5. I prophesy restoration and fulfilment to you. I give you back your season.

PRAYER / ACTION

* Pray that God will give you back all your lost seasons.

* Ask the Lord to raise you permanently above season spoilers and stealers.

* Say, “I enter into my fruitful seasons, no more drought, no more famine and no more small harvest, in Jesus’ name”.
