Before your due season

There is a due season for everything. As long as we are in this spherical plane called earth, time is a factor we cannot do without. Time processes things, time matures the process and in time results are delivered.

That makes the time a very important factor if we are to accomplish anything. We must give time its due diligence. Little wonder the preacher tells us, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" (Eccl.3.1)

There is a due season - a time when what you have worked for will give you its dues, its increase. The bible told a story of a fig tree that did not bear fruit because it was not in its season yet. But got cursed before it was time for it to produce. (See Mark11:12-25). Everything produces in its season, at least that much we believe. 

"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." (Gal.6.9)

Before that due season, if you are not careful you could faint and jeopardize your harvest like the tree Jesus cursed. Before your due season, you must keep up and not faint. The wise king Solomon tells us that if you faint before your harvest comes, your strength is small.

"If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small." (Prov.24.10)

Our text says we reap in our due season if we do not faint. It is noteworthy to mention that your neighbour's due season may not be your due season. The antidote to fainting is for you to keep doing good. Doing good keeps you from fainting, if you do not get weary, you will not faint and then you will reap.

Good day,
And have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
