The Season before us by Wole Olakunle




One of the most constant things in life is a changing season. The season carries a body of specified time. The time within the seasons are uniquely marked by the Chronos and the Kairos of purposes. 

To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 

He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 
                                                                           Eccl 3:1, 11

Wikipedia defines Time as a measure in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future, and also the measure of durations of events and the intervals between them. While Merriam Webster defines purpose as a time characterized by a particular circumstance or feature and also a suitable or natural time or occasion.

Apart from seasons being denoted by time, it is purpose specific. Therefore seasons conveys a series of time and time carries specific purposes. The purpose behind seasons must be uncovered so that meaningful works that carries eternal purposes can be embarked upon. 

We Are Becoming Vitally United Into Him - Susan O’Marra




His Word- His Voice- speaks and causes us to become clean, and also joins us to Him as we receive it by faith:

John 15:1 I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. 2 Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit. 3 You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you]. 4 Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. 6 If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned.
