Your Due Season Has Come
You need to wait no longer, all you need to do is get on board. Like a hitchhiker waiting for a ride… Your ride has arrived! Your redeemer lives and He’s working in your behalf
Redemption is our foundation, and our confidence as Christians. It is essential to everything we do in life. I must begin this topic today, by viewing this subject through the work of redemption which Christ has accomplished in the life and times of every believer. It is the starting point of new life in Christ. Redemption touches everything that touches us.
Isaiah 48:17 "This is what the LORD, your Redeemer says.."I am the LORD your God, who teaches you how to succeed (achieve a goal or victory), who directs you in the path (of your life) by which you should go”.
Some more good news from our redeemer… Colossians 2:14 “He has blotted out the handwriting in the decrees against us, (that were preventing us) which was adverse to us (out to stop us). And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross”.
When Jesus put the ear of the servant of the high priest back on, He was getting rid of the evidence that was against Peter and taking it out of the way. What Peter did, could have had him executed, which would have kept Peter from coming out of Pentecost, as one of the chief shakers and makers of the new Church. Jesus got rid of the evidence, so they could bring no charge against Peter…..
The good news is that Christ, our redeemer has paid the bill to redeem our past, present and future, and freed us to possess the opportunities and achieve the goal or victory He has preordained for us.
Galatians 6:9 “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. In due season, (just at the right time) we will reap a harvest of blessing if we (trust Him) and don’t give up”.
Let me begin this topic by giving a definition of the two Greek words…. “Due Season”… which is “Kairos Dei” and that is defined as “God’s right thing at the right time” and it is further defined with the word “Dei” that which is predetermined in God’s appointed time”… We sing that word in the powerful worship song “Agnus Dei”…..In that song we are declaring that “The eternal enters into the natural realm, and overrules and undergirds it as He has pre-ordained”…
Ecclesiastes 3:11 “He has made (predetermined) every thing beautiful in His (due) time, also He has set the world (the preordained times) in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God is making from the beginning to the end”.
Dutch Sheets mentioned on “Give Him 15” That the gate “Beautiful” which is mentioned in Acts 3:2 and10, where the lame man was healed through Peter… Peter said to him, “Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, I give unto you, in the name of Jesus rise up and walk.”…
In the original Greek which is used here, The name Beautiful, is “hóraios” (In the right time or season) If a rose is beautiful, it means that it is the time when it is in full bloom. It has opened in its due season….
God had determined the due season, that the lame man would walk, in the predetermined time when Peter had been filled with the Holy Spirit, on the day of Pentecost. Peter then walked by the lame man who was laid there daily, and reached out in the dunimos power of the Spirit, which he had just received, and God’s power set the lame man free from his lameness!! That same spirit of God’s right time dwells in you!
Ecclesiastes 3:3 “There is a (due) time for everything, and a (due) season for every activity under the heavens….”
So getting back to the beginning of this message, we would say “There is a due season, (a pre-determined time, just the right time, a Kairos Dei, when we are pre-ordained to reap a harvest of blessing if we (trust Him) and don’t give up”.
Let’s throw something else in this mix…. How about this one…
Ecclesiastes 3:14 “I know that everything God does will endure forever, nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will reverence him. 15 Whatever is, has already been, and what will be, has been before, and God will place (or store up) the past into an account”. By inspiration, the writer is saying that what is happening in this season, this pre-ordained, and pre-determined, just the right time…. I have placed in an account, so that it will not be lost… These God moments can be preserved and not lost….or subject to the constant, ever changing times….
When I was growing up on the farm, we grew our own food, and there was a brief season when the seed had been sown, and it was harvest season. Everyone knew it was time, it was the predetermined, preordained time to harvest. We all pitched in and helped one another… But long after everything was harvested, we kept enjoying the harvest season, because mom had a food pantry where there were full shelves of mason jars with all the food we had harvested. We kept enjoying the harvest all through the winter. Mom would decree.…. “Charles, go get me some corn, and beans off the shelf”…. And every time we opened a mason jar, it was harvest time again….We preserved and stored up time itself…. and preserved it from loss and decay in those Mason jars, which kept us in harvest season!
Last week, we said that the Hebrew word “UDE” (pronounced “OODE”)… means to testify… Testifying is a way of recreating the time when a “Kairos Dei” happened, and we repeat that time so that it can happen again… Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God”….The UDE, is like mom’s Mason jars, that preserve the due season, so that it can keep happening.
We have all these testimonies, that we can pull out and declare, “He’s the same yesterday, today and forever”!! Our due time is happening again….We don’t control the seasons, they are predetermined, but we can store up and revisit the seasons of His purpose, as we move to the next “Kairos Dei”…..and the next, and the next…..
Can someone shout “Next”……
The angel said to Daniel in the den of lions, “I have come for your words”….. (your OODE) your words… Daniel, created a right time opportunity, a predetermined, preordained, opportunity! And the lion’s den, became the Daniel den……Our words release the Kairos Dei…
Let me throw something else in here, that we need to remember….
Psalm 103:20 “Bless the LORD, all His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commands, hearkening unto the voice of His word”.
What is voice of His word, referring to here?… well let’s look at some more scripture….
John 15:7 “If you abide (live your life) in me, and my words abide in (live inside of) you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you”.
Deuteronomy 8:3 “He would make you to know, that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord does he live”. (Your life may depend on it)
Here’s another one…. Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly (abundantly) in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, (with your voice) singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord”. (You have to give voice to the word)!
So when we hear in, Psalm 103:20 “Bless the LORD, all His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commands, hearkening unto the voice of His word”.
We see that the voice of His word, which releases mighty angels, at the right, pre-ordained time, is our voice, speaking HIS WORD, into the earth!!
Isaiah 50:4 “The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in (due) season…”
The word of God can trigger and set up a “due season’ In our lives!!
Moses spoke God’s word and plagues came upon Egypt, water came out of the rock, the Red Sea parted, enemies were defeated, and the nation was brought into the promised land…. Angels were dispatched, and intervened in that season….Responding to His words, do it again Lord, through the UDE of your people!
Let’s say, I have a large apple and a knife… I quarter the apple, and I count the SEEDS that are in the apple. THEN I ASK A QUESTION: WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT: THE APPLE OR THE SEED? The answer depends: TODAY the apple might be more important especially if I am hungry. But I can eat the apple, and plant the seeds, for many harvests to come…I can then assure that the seeds of this right time, are a blessing for many years to come. Your words are like the seeds of your due season…. You can be enjoying them now and keep planting them as the seeds of the next Kairos Dei…..or due season.
If you plant the CHINESE BAMBOO SEED, you won’t see any results for a while, but there is still much that is required…. It HAS TO BE PLANTED IN GOOD SOIL. You have to water this seed every day. You must work the soil around the seed often and keep the soil broken and loose. You must often fertilize and work the soil. Every day you must continue to water this fragile seed. Daily the seed needs the farmers’ attention. To miss a day might kill the seed. Water it, water it, water it, water it, water it, water it, water it, water it, water it, water it, water it, water it, water it, water it, water it, water it, and look: YOU WILL STILL SEE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. DAILY FOR FIVE YEARS YOU DO ALL THIS, AND NOTHING… NOTHING…
I can imagine someone coming along and saying “HEY BUDDY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I CAN’T SEE ANY FRUIT FROM YOUR LABORS? 5 years of nothing…YOU LOOK PRETTY STUPID OUT HERE? I watch you work and work, and there is nothing? I HEARD YOU ARE GROWING TREES? EVEN A BLIND IDIOT CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE NO TREES! How long are you going to keep watering those “trees?” Give it up, and focus on growing some rice and feed your family?
5 YEARS LATER, THE SEED THAT REQUIRED DAILY ATTENTION WILL FINALLY BREAK THROUGH THE RICH SOIL. FINALLY? 5 LONG YEARS ,THE CHINESE BAMBOO TREE BREAKS THROUGH THE GROUND, IN 5 WEEKS THE CHINESE BAMBOO TREE WILL GROW 90 FEET TALL. 90 FEET IN 5 WEEKS!!
Our due season, doesn’t start when we see the results, it starts now, with whatsoever your hand finds to do, to do it with all your might. So what’s important to you, the apple you eat now, or the seeds that continue the harvest cycle?….God is going to show up for your words….
Say with me…. “I am in a due season, cycle right now”!! So I’m creating the right atmosphere with my words, I’m watering the ground with my prayers, I’m being obedient, and I’m doing whatever my hands find to do now…..
Noah spent around 100 years building the ark, but aren’t we glad he did… Moses spent 40 years in the wilderness, and 40 years before that being prepared by God, but history changed when they reached the promised land…
Abraham was promised a son at 75, Isaac was born when he was 100..that’s 25 years in between!
Enjoy your apple, but don’t throw away the seeds of your “due season”….
You can set up a cycle of due seasons. Even though the Chinese Bamboo only grows after 5 years…. If you plant bamboo seeds every day, then you will reach a point in the cycle when the due season, will come due every day…. Every day, you’ll be reaping a harvest, and every day, will be a due season!! Everyday the cycle will come around….
Say it with me…….Psalm 118:24 "This is the day (the due season) which the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it"
Now this verse is filled with expectations, and there are so many verses in the bible that really build my expectations. But our expectations are for the purpose of bringing us to manifestation!
Romans 8:19 &22 “The whole creation waits with eager longing for the manifestation of the Sons of God (his mature children). 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning and travailing together in the pains of childbirth until now”. (until due season)
We are to live with expectation, but we are pre-ordained and predetermined for manifestation! We are designed for manifestation!
Walk around your house and declare over your family. Walk around your job and declare into it… drive around this community and speak God’s word over and into it… Angels are waiting to move into action so there can be a manifestation…. Your were designed for it!
You don’t need to know how God will do it, you just need to know that if you fully expect it, and it is according to His word, it will be manifested!
Leave the manifestation to God, and make sure you take care of the expectation!
Now if a family is in a due season and they’re expecting an addition to the family… They are going to do what they know to do to get ready. They’ve been studying up, and They have a check list, they know what each person is to do. The nursery is all prepared. They pack a night bag for the trip to the hospital, They have the doctor’s number readily available… they probably have a name picked… they have done some dry runs to determine the quickest way to the hospital… They expect a manifestation!
We can do the same, for healing, financial blessing, salvation of a loved one, that job promotion or new job, ….. see it being manifest… see what it will feel like, look like, sound like, and be like!
(1) Imagine the End from the beginning….(2) Prepare for it's arrival (3) Thank God before you get it (4) Make room for it in your life . If you desire and expect to move, start packing some of your belongings. If you desire and expect a job change, prepare your "resignation notice" to your current job, stating why you are leaving, and what lies ahead, and keep it in a drawer. If you desire and expect a date, prepare yourself and be the kind of person you would want to attract…. If you desire and expect a gift, prepare your thank you letter in advance. If you desire and expect to lose weight, go buy an outfit that will fit the size you will be….
That’s when you know that you know you’re ready for a manifestation!
This is what Ephesians 3:20 is talking about… “Now unto Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, (expect to manifest) according to the power that is now working in us….”
Job 22:28 You shall decree a thing and it shall be established unto you and the light shall shine upon your ways.” When we decree, we are establishing what God has already declared…..It’s like saying “Make it so”
So, I want us to make our decree together as we conclude…..
"I decree, that The Lord calls me the head, and not the tail; and I shall be above only, and not be beneath, if I hearken unto the Spirit and word of the Lord my God…. I am the heir of Christ, with a new identity, transformed, to the depth of my being, risen with Christ, a joint heir with an eternal inheritance, having the same Spirit that is in Him. I am in a due season of my life. I decree that I am forgiven and set free, a citizen of heaven, a new creation, with direct access to God through Holy Spirit. I am made complete in Christ, that means I am established, in His wholeness and wellness and truth, I am anointed, and sealed by eternal covenant, I am mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds of the enemy. Generational curses, and soul bonds are broken. I am a victorious overcomer in all things through Christ.
I decree, that I am God’s workmanship, chosen by God, a full partaker in the heavenly calling and all things are working and fitting together for my good!!
I won’t quit, I won’t back down, I won’t compromise, or slack off. I am a representatives of Christ’s family in the earth. His kingdom has come, His will shall be done, in earth as it is in heaven. I declare it is His will for myself, my family, and my circle of friends and associates. In Jesus name".
Your due season has come, it is here. You’ve planted, you’ve watered, now step into it, in Jesus name! He has redeemed the time you’re in, redemption is our foundation, not chance or circumstance. You’re not stuck and you’re not helpless. Receive it today, in the name of Jesus!
