Bearing fruit in every season of his life.
“He will be standing firm like a flourishing tree planted by God’s design deeply rooted by the brooks of bliss, bearing fruit in every season of his life. He is never dry, never fainting, ever blessed, ever prosperous.”
Psalm 1:3 (TPT)
There are times and seasons in our purposeful life.
Do you know what season of life are you now?
“As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat; winter and summer, day and night.” Genesis 8: 2 (CEV)
Whichever season of your life live it purposefully with God.
When you allow God to be with you bearing fruit is possible.
Jacob initially struggled with his purpose in life.
He started out grabbing and manipulative.
When he had the encounter with God, from Jacob, he became Israel.
Joseph continued to bear fruit every season in his life.
“Because of Joseph, the LORD began to bless Potiphar’s family and fields.” Genesis 39:5(CEV)
“The jailer did not worry about anything, because the LORD was with Joseph and made him successful in all that he did.” Genesis 39:23(CEV)
The servant who hid his talent did not understand his times and season.
He buried it.
“ I was frightened and went out and hid your money in the ground. Here is every single coin!” Matthew 25:25 (CEV)
Regardless of the servant’s perception, the Master expected him to bear fruit.
“You could have at least put my money in the bank so that I could have earned interest on it.” Matthew 25:27(CEV)
God expects you to increase and multiply in every season of your life.
God’s Word in your life and in your mouth will prosper you. Isaiah 55:10-11
God is in control.
“ You control human events— you give rulers their power and take it away,
and you are the source wisdom and knowledge.” Daniel 2:21 (CEV)
Resolve to be a Blessing by being fruitful in every season of your life.

Be strong, alert, and courageous.
“Yet now be strong, alert, and courageous, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; be strong, alert, and courageous, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, alert, and courageous, all you people of the land, says the Lord, and work! For I am with you, says the Lord of hosts.”
Haggai 2:4 AMPC
In times and seasons like this, please remain strong.
“Say to those who are of a fearful and hasty heart, Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance; with the recompense of God, He will come and save you.”
Isaiah 35:4 AMPC
“Be strong, courageous, and firm; fear not nor be in terror before them, for it is the Lord your God Who goes with you; He will not fail you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 AMPC
Don’t be afraid.
“Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 AMPC
There are about 54 explicit occurrences that the phrase be strong and courageous in the Bible.
More than 1 per week for us to understand that God provides strength and courage for His purposeful assignment in our life
Don’t give up.
Don’t be stagnant, move forward.
Don’t say, can I make it?
The red sea was an obstacle, but Moses, being led by God, moved forward.

Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
“In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” Judges 17:6 (ESV)
Sometimes people do like the Israelites did in those days.
Everyone was right in what they did.
The result was anarchy and disorder.
Today some still behave the same way.
“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion “you hear them say
However, you are created in the image of God.
As a child of God, your opinion must be based on the Word of God.
“He answered, “The Scriptures say: Bread alone will not satisfy, but true life is found in every word, which constantly goes forth from God’s mouth.” Matthew 4:4(TPT)
Subject your thoughts and actions to the Word of God.
“Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and see themselves as clever and shrewd” Isaiah 5:21 (TPT)
God remains your King if you truly belong to HIS kingdom.
Don’t “just do it “
No aspect of your life is not covered by the Word of God.
Search the scriptures, and you will get accurate and proper direction.
“The LORD God has told us what is right and what he demands:
“See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey your God.” Micah 6:8 (CEV)
Yes, God has told you what is right.
It’s not about what is right for you.
It is about what God wants you to do.

Don’t you think you should show pity to someone else, as I did to you?”
“The king called the first official back in and said, “You’re an evil man! When you begged for mercy, I said you did not have to pay back a cent. Don’t you think you should show pity to someone else, as I did to you?” The king was so angry that he ordered the official to be tortured until he could pay back everything he owed. That is how my Father in heaven will treat you if you don’t forgive each of my followers with all your heart.” Matthew 18:32-35 (CEV)
Don’t you think you should show pity to someone else, as I did to you?”
Should you not have had pity and mercy on your fellow attendant, as I had compassion and kindness on you?
Why didn’t you show the same mercy to your fellow servant that I showed to you?’
Why are you not easily forgiving that other person who offended you as God has forgiven you?
Sometimes we find it very difficult to release another person who has offended us in our heart.
Treat other servants of the Lord with the love and mercy God has extended to you.
Don’t fall out of the Grace of God through the “cold treatment” you are giving others that have crossed your path.
“You may discipline us for our many sins, but never as much as we really deserve. Nor do you get even with us for what we’ve done. Higher than the highest heavens— that’s how high your tender mercy extends!
Greater than the grandeur of heaven above is the greatness of your loyal love, towering over all who fear you and bow down before you!”
Psalm 103:10-11 (TPT)
You also need to forgive yourself too.
Don’t perpetually carry the guilt of what you have done wrong.
As you have fully confessed to God and completely turn away from that sin :
Walk in the newness of life that God has given you.
“Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves release forgiveness to those who have wronged us.” Matthew 6:12(TPT)
Please Forgive those who have offended you.
