There’s A New Season

When I was in high school, my parents always push me to go to church because they are leaders in our church. I do attend, anyway I am doing it since my childhood. No hassle, no pressure! Yes I believe God but I guess it’s not enough for me to live a life pursuing God. Everything seems to be perfect back then, until the time I reached college level. Here comes the problem:

My parents enrolled me to a college which is 7 hours away from home. Obviously, I was given my life’s freedom to do everything I want since they are miles away. Although they are not with me, there is still the presence of God which gives me fear on doing such stupid things or sin. In short, I did not entertain any vices, even girls However, that was the time I seldom attend to church. For some reasons like, “I’m shy“, “I’m new“, “the members are rich, I’m not“, or “I just woke up late“.  For 2 years this is my life. I thank God that although I am not consistent in church, I was not convinced to live a foolish life sinning. Seems nice, but spiritually not!

Here comes the time God opened my eyes. I was very busy and active in school activities. Because of busyness, I normally failed to eat on time. So it made me realize one day that I was becoming more “acidic“, making my stomach doesn’t function well. After some weeks, my classmates noticed that I am sick, I am always sleepy, never had good appetite or in short, I feel very weak.

Guess what, at that moment, everyone is far away from me. My parents, relatives and friends don’t have much time to take care of me. It was a bit frustrating and I still remember the times I cried to God. I am alone in my apartment, though I am weak, I have no option but to stand up and travel 15 minutes away just to buy my food and medicine. Believe me, there is no one who gave time to assist me. On the other hand, I still smile because that is God’s way of taking me back again. That moment, all I have is God. What I did is just prayed! Truly, he answered everytime I call. I was too afraid of dying but God said in Psalms 46:10, “Be still and know that I am your God!“

If God was not there, how I wished I just died. But God has a purpose for each and everyone of us. He will always give us life, give us strength and give us a reasons for living.

I truly sought God and He brought me to a church where I committed to serving God. There I realized that I have a big purpose. I am not really sure what that is back then, but I’m quite sure there is! I did not have much time attending that church however there is something that I can’t forget there. It is a song entitled, “New Season”. It may be just like an ordinary song to that church but for me, I means a lot. I defines my future; the plan the God has for me. Everytime I hear that song, it reminds of God’s revelation to me, “I’ll gonna rise up and call myself blessed.” Hey, don’t look it up on the lyrics, it’s not there.   The moment I heard that song, that’s the time God revealed it to me.

In a very simple way, God just wanted me to realize that I am about to do and fulfill the plan that He has prepared for me. I am quite sure we all have our own destiny, our own purpose to fulfill. Do you know what’s yours?

Funny thing nowadays is that people look for prophets hoping that these people will tell them their future. I have nothing against them, they are God sent.  Before, it was one of my wildest dream, to meet a prophet who will prophecy me. Guess what? I did not found one. I feel jealous for those people who successfully found a prophet. But you know what, here is a lesson I learned about that experience.

“The best way to know God’s will is not thru prophets, thru God alone.“

God will always call you on a special situation, unique with everyone. You don’t know when and where, but for sure, God will always call you. You have your own season! Don’t ever forget that….. When God made me realize that I have a purpose, I was not used instantly back then. God mold me, trained me and equipped on how to serve Him for His purpose. I never dreamt of becoming a leader, however, God’s will always prevail. Guess what, recently I was called to lead a bunch of youth in our church. To my surprise, God reminded me of His Word. There is a time and season where we are called to serve.

I pray that you will be blessed as you hear this song..
