*Lenten Talk with Canon Amoo B G*
*Times & seasons*
Good morning & welcome to the beginning of a new day.
Times are in season and with each season comes certain possibilities.
No matter how strong, educated, influential, connected and famous you are, lack of respect for season, insensitivity to Times may cost you more than you can ever imagine.
Your greatness, fulfilment, Testimonies, accomplishment and so on are tied to a season, programmed into a time. To appear on stage before your season is an error, to show up after your season is a shame in disguise.
For every season of Manifestation, there is a season of preparation, A moment of waiting, retreat, searching, a period of study, submitting to discipleship and mentoring, a moment of following, a period of patience, faithfulness, availability and true humility to learn.
Don't jump out too early, it may be disastrous. Don't feel too big to learn you may be digging your grave unknown.
This is the season of Lent. It is a season of soberness, true repentance, waiting on God. It is a season of fervent and serious prayer of intercession, supplication, warfare and violent praise. It is a season of charity, showing mercy to the less privilege and helping the poor in the land.
It is a season that precedes another season
Do not treat this season with levity. Engage the Divine in your case and stop treating your destiny with kids' gloves. The battle of destiny is for the determined souls.
The master Jesus came down with determination to fulfil destiny and before launching out he went through a season. Not in the market place, not among fans or family, not even in the temple or synagogue but in the wilderness where he stayed without food for forty days and forty nights. He observed that season in preparation for another season.
