Purpose, Time and Seasons...

According to Eccl 3:1, there's a time, a season, and a purpose to everything under heaven. Mankind has tried to live life in its fullest, we've tried to enjoy life; we've also tried to understand life, but have miserably failed at it because we have not understood purpose, season, and time. Living life without purpose, it's like driving a car with no where to go. Destination makes a care necessary; so is it with purpose that makes life worth living. Some people get a car to be seen, but that's not the car's purpose. Some people get a car b/c it defines them, but that's the purpose either. The car's purpose has destination attached to it.

Living without a destination attached to it(purpose) is lifeless living...and many things we encounter in life can destroy us without an understanding of this. Purpose then becomes the most important thing to know in life, b/c with the knowledge of purpose for my life I can overcome everything that attacks my life and threatens to steal, kill, and destroy my life.

Time reminds me that no matter how difficult my life has been...I'm still here. Seasons remind me that even in the worst of times it WILL change. GOD's idea for you is that you have a full, complete life and to show earth a part of GOD manifested in you that had never existed before; something that HE wanted on display in the earth. So I implore you, return to your GOD, the only ONE true and living GOD, and find out your purpose b/c only He knows.

Purpose, Time and SEASONS

Now that we have considered purpose and time...lets look at seasons. According to Eccl. 3:1, everything under heaven was given a purpose, a time, and a season. We know purpose is the reason for the existence of a thing and GOD has given us a number of days to finish what HE began in us. So then, "my future" is not ahead, "my future" is trapped inside of me, and only the creator of me can release it."

What is a season? A season is characterized by one of the four periods of a year; spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Spring is a season for planting. Summer is a season of growing and maturing. Autumn is a season of harvesting and reaping. Winter is a season for preparation and planning. These are also the seasons of our lives. The WORD of the LORD says to everything there is a purpose, a time, and a season. These seasons come and go. It's important for you to maximize your life and to live the abundant kind of life that JESUS intended for us to live. It's important for you to know what season you are in.

A season is defined as a period of time marked by certain conditions, which makes things suitable, proper, fitting, and right. When something is in its season, everything works for its good. A season cannot be denied...you must go through it. A season cannot be stopped. When you defy a season, a season can kill you. I believe it's the will of GOD for us to use purpose, time, and season to live a full life. What season are you in? Do you know?

Some people are expecting a harvest when they should be planting. Some people are trying to grow and increase when they should be planning and preparing. When you confuse the seasons, you violate your growth. So I'll ask you again, what season are you in?

Purpose, TIME, and Seasons

Now that we have an insight on purpose, realizing that GOD does nothing without purpose, let's take a look at time. The Word of GOD tells us that everything under heaven has a purpose, a time, and a season. There are two terms for time in the Greek chronos and chiros. Chronos has to do with linear time, 12:00, 1:00, Monday, Tuesday... Chiros has to do with appointed time, prophetic time. There is nothing in chronos that can stop chiros. As a human being, being the purpose of GOD in the earth, you've been giving chronos. You've been given a number of years to finish what GOD started you here to do, or sent you here to do.

There are a lot of people who are wasting their time(chronos), while their appointed time(chiros) suffers. Days and years are passing, they are expirementing with life, and life is a test-tube for many. While their purpose is hidden in GOD.

GOD is the redeemer of time b/c anytime during my life, I want to know what I am here for, what was in GOD's mind sending me here, what is my purpose, I can always go back to GOD and find out. Knowing that HE is the author and finisher of life.

Question: Where are you in your time? How much time have you used? How much time are you using? How much time do you left to finish your assignment?

These questions cannot be answered by humanity, the answers can only be found in GOD. Regardless to how much time I've wasted my purpose is never aborted. When I turn to GOD for my purpose HE redeems the time, HE buys back what I have used up, and what I have wasted experimenting with my life.

Time is what GOD has given me to fulfill what I've been called to do. What are you called to do and how much time have you wasted? Are you doing what you have been called to do, or are you just wasting time?
