A Message from our State President
Greetings from State Coordinator
Greetings to all in the Matchless, Precious Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior
It is a pleasure to greet each of you. The Bible says there is a season for everything in life (see Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). If only we could embrace the seasons of our lives as willingly as we embrace the seasons of the year. It has been said that change is the only thing constant; but unfortunately, that is what we tend to resist — especially if it means going outside of our comfort zones.
God has planned the seasons of our lives with His infinite wisdom. He has ordained each one, knowing exactly what fruit is to be harvested in each season. I believe that since His desire is to do us only good, He enjoys each season He plans for us (see Jeremiah 29:11). So why are we so prone to resist the season we are in? It is as if we are never satisfied. But God is always working even in seasons when we do not see much activity.
During the season of planting, when there is no harvest, God is watering, nurturing, fertilizing and containing us so that in due season we can bring forth the fruit of His desire, which is righteousness. After a season of harvest, He often initiates a time of pruning (see John 15:1-2). Painful though this may be, it is necessary for us to produce even more fruit. So, we can trust God to do whatever He needs to do in our lives today because of His proven faithfulness yesterday (see Lamentation 3:22-23).
During this season, let us determine to count our blessings and enjoy, as He does, the season He has each of us in right now. Every day is a gift, and we should savor all the sights, sounds, smells, friendships, fellowships, families, foods and fun of the season. Instead of wishing we were in different seasons, let us embrace and enjoy the season we are in, and be thankful that God, in His infinite wisdom, planned our lives and leads us through many fruitful seasons.
In closing, I encourage each of us to humble ourselves, be thankful, and enjoy each of God’s season no matter which one it is at the moment. Thanks for hearing my heart in this season.
