A TIME FOR PROCESS. Click and read more.





To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. (Ecclesiastes 3: 1-4)

Is it not amazing to discover these interesting verses? The bible is truly the word of God. It is full of inspiring words that form our lives if we pay attention to its contents. It never ceases to amaze me when I hear people constantly whine once they are faced with a situation that is not going according to their plan. You know we have gotten so used to the sweet verses that have the beautiful promises we desire to manifest in our lives.


But I want to ask you have ever seen any piece of land that is not cleared, tilled, planted on that brings forth the desired harvest of the farmer without any effort of disfiguring the soil to makes a hole for planting? Have you ever considered the fact that every beautiful house or skyscraper never looked so good while in the early construction stages? So why do we move around with this erroneous belief that life is beautiful all the way without process?  
The truth is that the average human being is really very impatient and does not like the concept of process.   

As a person I would really love everything in my life to be perfect but beloved I have come to discover it is not always. We must have the good and the not so good times. The sweet times are the times we celebrate, enjoy our accomplishments. The not so good is still a process.


Abraham had revelation that he would be father of many nations but it did not change the fact that he had to learn the lesson on patiently waiting on the Lord for His set time. Joseph had dreams that he will have sheaves bow to him, he had dreams that even the sun and moon will bow to him. Wow! Is that not a privilege to see your future vividly? However those dreams did not stop “process”. If indeed you carry greatness in you then you must submit to “process”. 

Every baby that is born grows. There is the teething phase that keeps the child uncomfortable but still there must be time for teething. There must be a time to learn to crawl – even if the child keeps falling down. The child must go through process. No matter how much you love your little child, that little child must go through the process of walking. I am going through process as I journey through life.
 
There is time for everything. I cannot seem to say it enough. There is time for everything. God is a God of process. Jesus came to earth as a baby, grew up in the house of a carpenter, and probably had to learn carpentry a bit either by practice or just observation. The reason is “process”. He had to understand and appreciate the beauty of transformation that goes on with a plain piece of wood from plainness to the beauty of a finished chair, table or any beautiful piece of furniture you can imagine. So while paying the price on the Cross, He truly understood the potency of process that would transform man from lost to redeemed to enjoy true beauty in God. Hallelujah!
