A SEASON AND A TIME
The wisest man to ever live; according to historical facts and evidences, King Solomon wrote, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
Everything that happens in life happen in times and in accordance with seasons. When the season for a thing has come, its manifestation is easy, and if it does not manifest in that season, it would wait until another season. Manifestations never come out of season.
When you plant a seed of orange and it grows into a tree, there comes the time when it should begin to yield fruits, but despite having matured at a particular time it would produce no fruit until its own season. Life as in nature, is governed by laws and principles. You cannot overlook, neglect, or shun the laws and the principles of success and productivity and expect to be successful or productive.
When the time for a thing has come and the season has arrived, nothing can stop that thing from happening. It might be delayed but it can not but happen.
Patience therefore, is a key to happiness, fulfillment and a glorious ending. Like someone told the story of a man who was sent to a convention by his organisation, and when food was been served and he was consistently being passed by, he dragged the tray of soup from the server which resulted in his cloth being stained and soiled. Not knowing he was to be specially served on the high table as he was a guest of honour at that event.
When his time came to be on the high table, he was called upon but, he couldn't get up to go up because, he had dragged the tray prematurely and spoilt his cloth, his lack of patience brought him great shame.
Wait for your time, watch out for your season, when your time and your season comes never let it slide without putting it to maximum use. Your patience and hard work will pay off, but you must also be conscious of the arrival of your time and your season lest you become weary and give up.
