A TIME FOR EVERYTHING

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Ecclesiastes 3:1-2

“To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted.”

Additional Verses

📖 Ecclesiastes 3:1-22; Matthew 25:31-46; Mark 16:15-20; Ephesians 2:10-13

The above text reminds every person that there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. However, for every born-again child of God, God has set a season and a time for every purpose for your life according to His Word. This is why in Ephesians 2:10, Paul reminds everyone born of God that, “We are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before hand that we should walk in them.” For a child of God, Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 is not just a general statement but every one of us has a special responsibility of finding out from God’s Word what God has prepared for us for each season. It is also our responsibility to find out from His Word His purpose for creating us under heaven in Christ Jesus. Remember what the Apostle Paul said in Romans 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.” Unlike many who are not yet born again and are ignorant of God’s purpose for their lives under heaven, every child of God is called according to God’s purpose. Many, spend years building careers, chasing dreams, acquiring possessions and planning for tomorrow, yet they do not know what tomorrow holds. We came on assignments. All these things we spend time trying to achieve, are temporary, but your Spirit is eternal. Find this purpose is in His Word. This therefore means that every day you ought to spend time studying God’s Word and know your purpose for your existence in this world. May I remind you that while in this world every child of God is abroad or in Diaspora as our true home is where our LORD Jesus Christ is with the Father in heaven. Our main purpose here is to win souls into God’s kingdom through the Gospel that the LORD Jesus Christ has entrusted to us. To win souls from darkness into His marvelous light. Matthew 28;19-20 says, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything l have commanded you. And surely l am with you always, to the very end of the age.” This is the Great Commission for any born again child of God. We are not therefore like some who walk in ignorance who quote the above text in ignorance. While there is surely a time to be born and a time to die, God has given us everything in His Word to live this life according to His purpose. God has left it to us to find out what this purpose is through meditating upon His Word and observing to live according to His Word with a clear expectation to receive our reward when we finally come into the presence of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. Remember one day every one of us will pray our final prayer, speak our final words and take our last breath, and then the Master Jesus Christ will ask you and me, “Did you finish the assignment for your purpose on earth?” If you are called by God from the beginning to the end, your journey has been documented. Nothing outside your documentary will happen without God’s knowledge. So, through today’s message, I would like to encourage every child of God to live according to God’s purpose. Today is a blessing, a gift from God, tomorrow is a mystery. Let us pray sincerely, love deeply, forgive quickly, serve faithfully and use our time wisely because the day will come one day to depart from this world. The question l leave with you is ‘If your service ended today would you be ready to meet the Master Jesus Christ our LORD and Savior?’. Praise the Lord! Alleluia!

Prayer

Almighty Father in heaven, I am sorry for the times that l have not been patient. I ask that I always be patient in everything, knowing that there is a time for everything. Thank You for letting me know that You have made all things beautiful in Your time. From now on l will not worry, but keep focused on You, for You know the time for everything. Thank You LORD Jesus Christ. Amen.
