THE DEVOTION
A new season is God's promise of fresh growth, open doors, and greater glory. But before the new comes, something must be paid.
FOCUS SCRIPTURE
“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert”
ISAIAH 43:19
But even God’s new thing has a path to walk through.
*1. THE PRICE OF LETTING GO OF THE OLD*
You can’t enter new with old baggage.
Lot’s wife looked back at what God was already leaving behind *GENESIS 19:26*. Israel almost missed Canaan because they craved Egypt’s garlic and onions
NUMBERS 11:5-6
Paul understood the price: “Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead” *PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14*
The new season will cost you comfort zones, old mindsets, and sometimes old relationships.
*2. THE PRICE OF PRUNING AND OBEDIENCE*
God doesn’t just add in a new season. He prunes.
“Every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit”
JOHN 15:2
Pruning feels like cutting, but it’s really preparation for more. Abraham paid this price when God asked for Isaac
GENESIS 22:10-12. His obedience secured the next season of covenant abundance.
The price may be obedience that doesn’t make sense, discipline in prayer
MATTHEW 6:33, or sacrifice *ROMANS 12:1*.
*3. THE PRICE OF PRESSING IN FAITH*
New seasons don’t fall into your lap. They are taken by faith.
“The kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force” *MATTHEW 11:12*
Elisha refused to let Elijah go until he got the double portion
2 KINGS 2:9-10. The woman with the issue of blood
