TODAY’S DEVOTION (Friday 14th March 2025)
“O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your possessions —
These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season. What you give them they gather in; you open your hand, they are filled with good.” Psalms 104:24, 27, 28 NKJV
WELCOME TO THE 73RD DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY
In our devotion today we will be uncovering the power of divine seasons.
Our Church generation is yet to come to the full revelation of divine seasons. That is why we struggle and let life go in a circle. Most of us do not understand that God does things under Heaven in times and seasons. But that is how He works. If it is not the season, prayer cannot be a strong reason.
Most times we take prayer to be the only reason for God to act. But the Bible teaches of season also being the reason.
Prayers works better if we make our request when He can be found, and He can only be found in the very season He has set aside to do the things we may be asking Him to do. That is why it is not good to be prophetically blind, especially to a supernaturally determined season of GOD for your life.
The difference between the glorious you and the gory you lie in your ability to recognize and seize any opportunity for progress or success created by a supernaturally determined season of God for your life. Life on earth is in season!
If you don’t live it that way, things might be difficult.
The Bible also teaches of significant breakthroughs that only come in their season for them. If you have done a right thing for a long time, it creates the season for the blessing. That is why lasting blessings in God’s kingdom come in their seasons.
If we do not come to terms with this truth we will keep struggling, fighting, competing with ourselves, and taking decisions that will result in more and more struggles.
Those who understand God’s will for their lives and His determined success season for them do not compete with anyone. They live according to divine will, comparing themselves with only the will of God for their lives.
MOST OF OUR WORRIES AND TROUBLES IN LIFE ARE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT UNDERSTANDING THESE SIMPLE BUT PROFOUND TRUTHS.
Seasons are what determine success in life, not really struggling to make it. You must understand that times have been given the power to determine certain triumphs in life. Time is given the time to process our right deeds into triumphant outcomes.
For instance, when the time comes for a wicked man to die, nothing can stop time from taking his life. When the season comes for faithfulness to be rewarded by Heaven, no force on earth, in Heaven, or beyond the earth can stop that from happening.
Our devotional text said
“These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season. What you give them they gather in; you open your hand, they are filled with good.”
Whenever a faithful man or woman enters his or her season of reward in the Spirit, things will start lining up in the natural for him or her. They will begin to gather whatever God has given them that they could not access before.
They will see their season forcing God to open His arm towards them, and giving them things their eyes have not seen, their ears heard, or hearts conceived. They will find the season pulling men and substance to them from unexpected ends. They find the glory it brings, making the people excuse them of their shortcomings and just celebrating them.
Divinely determined seasons are very powerful. They are more powerful than all your enemies put together.
For instance, it was the season for Goliaths demise that gave David victory over him. David sensed that it was time for the giant to go down, that was why he went after him.
When you attack your enemies in their divinely determined season of defeat, they will fall like dead men even before you talk to God about them.
MAY GOD BRING YOU TO YOUR SEASON!
The Bible says, “of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command;” (1 Chronicles 12:32 NKJV). If you want things to be at your command, understand the divinely determined times and season for doing them before you move to do them.
God’s kingdom citizens fail for not knowing this secret. They Bible teaches that we are snared and not supported to succeed because we do things in an evil time.
David was one Bible Character that fought terrible wars without a scar. He fought humans who moved like demons. He killed a giant. He took over the stronghold of Zion from the Jebusites. He was always found in the forefront of the hottest battles yet there was no one record of defeat.
What was the secret? He understood his times and season.
He knew when to move against the enemy. At one time God told him, “Wait until you hear movements on top of the mulberry trees. That will be a sign to you that God has gone ahead of you.” He did and got the victory, thereby teaching us that any enemy you move against when God has not moved against him will destroy you.
You will be fighting the force outside its divinely determined season of defeat. Consequently, you will lack the supernatural supply from God to come out victoriously. You must understand that Spiritual warfare is going to pick the spoils of war after God has finished the battle.
It is God fighting, and you winning. Anything outside that, is not your portion. People who do not understand this concept will go head long against the enemy and return with injuries.
I pray that you make these devotional your meditation today and always. Amen!!
MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION.
“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what 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;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to gain, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear 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” Ecclesiastes 3:1-5 NKJV
