Bible Reading;

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019 #BeFruitful

Where are you?
This is the first question asked in the Bible.

God asked Adam this question so that he could reflect on it and have insight as regards his state and situation. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

When God asks us a question, it does not mean He is looking for knowledge: He is the all-knowing God.  

He asks so that we become aware of where we are as individuals and also for us to identify ourselves. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

There are two instrument to find where you are:

1. The Stages of life:
Childhood, Adulthood and Elderly Stages. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

Childhood Stage: This is a stage for learning. At this stage usually, one requires constant help. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019
#BeFruitful

Adulthood Stage: This is the time to leave childhood for learning. It is a time to do exploits. At this stage, one tends to look out for challenges. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

Elderly Stage: At this stage, you are looking for legacy. You're more concerned about empowering and helping others. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

B)  The Cycles or Seasons of life. (Genesis Ch. 8 vs 21-22).

Seed time: This is the time for sowing seeds, making sacrifices and investments. It is time for digging deep. Here, you don't seek for reward but for investment. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019

Harvest Season: This is time for fruits, rewards and growth. Time to reap what has been sown. This season calls for strategy and reinvestment. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019 #BeFruitful

Cold/Winter Season: This is a lonely & dry time. In this season, it would feel like nothing is working for you.

You may be working hard and still experience rejection. It is impossible to have a harvest in a cold season. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019 #BeFruitful

Night season: This is a time of darkness. It would seem like nobody sees you. It would feel like light is turned off on you.

It is a season where you are nursing big dreams and great ideas. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019 #BeFruitful

Summer season: This is a season of warmth and joy.

Daytime: This is when you tend to enjoy recognition.

Learn to embrace the seasons of life, you can't fight or reject them. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019 #BeFruitful

Seasons are important because how we respond to a season determines what we receive in the end.  Responding poorly to a season can lead to death.

The seasons of life are cyclical. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019 #BeFruitful

It is not wise to behave like you are in your harvest time when you are actually in the time of sowing. It is possible to be in the same space, yet have different seasons. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019
#BeFruitful

It is important you understand the season you are in. When you do, things will work in your favour but when you don't, your design could be aborted.

People around you may not be in the same season with you. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019
#BeFruitful

Appreciate whatever season you are in. Do not misunderstand the seasons of your life. Sometimes, God leads people out of your life and then nourishes you afresh. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019
#BeFruitful

No one ever experiences or has a permanent seedtime or harvest time. When seasons change,  we must change our actions.

Book of Genesis Chapter 16 verses 6-11: - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019
#BeFruitful

At every point in your life, you are either entering a season, or exiting one. You are never out of season. Be mindful of the seasons in your life. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019
#BeFruitful

Do not exit a season because of mistreatment. Do not let maltreatment be the reason for aborting a season in your life.

Your movement or change in season must be according to God’s instructions. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

#WAFBEC #WAFBEC2019
#BeFruitful

God will always place you on a path to your destiny.

The season is at its most severe when it is about to change. Sometimes the places tied to your destiny are the most difficult places to be in. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •

When obedience meets with a new season, there is acceleration. Every season you are in prepares you for another. - Dr. @MensaOtabil •
