Transition of Seasons

           As I’m browsing through a sermon, God inspired to take down some points. I think it would be better for me to share with everyone since most of us are in the period of transition, whether in terms of ministries, academic or even in holidays Different people will experience different seasons of life when you are on a journey with our Lord Jesus; dry season, season of manifestation, provision season, and the list goes on. I’m convinced and convicted that God has plans for each individual to participate in His great work. As God promised “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. [Jeremiah 29:11]. Besides, I believe in each and every one who participated in His great work will experience a period of transition before a new “season” or work you are going to be involved.. However, there are few things to be taken note of when we are in the transition of a season.

No doubt when we are in the period of transition we always full of uncertainties because we are leaving from our comfort zone or at least the one we have already adapted to. Questions like “What is God’s plan for me now? What kind of new ministries will I be involving in? What kind of arrangement and people will I face?” and many more. Abraham’s life is full of uncertainties when God called Abraham to leave his land to go Canaan. However, what matters or what is to learn from Abraham is his confidence and faith in God. He obeyed God and he left his luxuries and went on a journey with God to the land of Canaan. Therefore, I believe the same case occurred to Abraham will happen to us as well when we put our confidence and faith in God. God will definitely guide us and provide us everything when we are on a journey with God.

The next thing that we should be looking into is the matter of dependency. A test of faith is surely to come when we walk in the promises of God. But the question is, when your faith is challenged and tested, who or what are you depending on? God? your flesh? materials? If we were to depend on our flesh, we will end up broken, worn out, filled with frustration and nothing is accomplished in the end. Nonetheless if we rely on God’s grace we are able to do things beyond your expectation, and able to glorify God’s name. Other than relying in God, involving God in whatever circumstances we are going through will help us experience something new; the outcome will never be the same though everything is similar. Most of the time we leave God out of our circumstances, we miss out the best God has for you. If you haven’t been involving God in the circumstances you are going through, God would love to intervene and involved in whatever you are doing. All we have to do is just ask!

In conclusion, transition period before a new season of life can also be known as period of break through where we are preparing ourselves to face whatever in the next season to come.
Transition period is a process where we grow and walk through it with God; You are not alone! In this process you can face it with two options; either with FAITH or with FEAR. Remember, change is always an event but transition is always a process!
