Season of Establishment

Self-promotion can be detrimental to the soul. We need to learn to wait for our "due season" when we can be rightfully lifted up. You never fly a small air-craft to greater heights it can't afford but to heights it can afford based on the measure of its strength and ability. You only take big air-crafts to greater heights. Greater heights demand strength.

Anyone who rushes for new heights before they are well grounded in what they're doing will soon feint and be weary. Don't despair when it seems like you are trapped in one level. Sometimes it's not because there's anything wrong with you. God could be taking you through a Season of Establishment, preparing you for a great take-off to your destiny.

In the meantime, cultivate the spirit of humility and discover how high God can set you. "...but with humility comes wisdom." Prov. 12:1. God desires for you not to fly but to soar. God's time is always the best time.

"So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor." 1 Peter 5:6

Evangelist Itu Maboye

Season of Hiding

Life is regulated by phases and seasons. There's a season of hiding, which always precedes a season of rising. Before you realize your success you may have to undergo some seasons of darkness. Learn to appreciate seasons of hiding for these mark our time of dying to self. When the time is right, like a seed planted in the soil, we shall rise again and bear much fruit.

Whatever happens in your life right now, you are not buried. You are planted. Delayed success is not denied success. Your season is coming!

We must grow before we can see fruit. Growth comes from knowing how to hide. When you seem unproductive in life, in your business, in your family, etc. you could be passing through a season of hiding. Trust God for another level, surrender to Him and claim the promises He has placed in your heart through His Word. Even during these moments of distress, God still promises success. Abide in Him for success is at your door-step!

"For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock." Psalm 27:5
