THE IMPORTANCE OF SPIRITUAL SEASONS
n South Africa, we are once again entering Autumn, a time of transition. It is a reminder that life is not static, and neither is our walk with God. Just like nature moves through different seasons, our spiritual lives also go through seasons of change. In the same way that leaves change colour and fall, there are times when we must let go of things that no longer serve our spiritual growth. This could be old habits, past hurts, or even relationships that hinder the development of our faith journey.
Just as in nature, every spiritual season has a purpose. There are times of planting, where God sows new dreams in our hearts, and times of waiting, where we trust Him even when we do not see immediate results. There are also seasons of harvest, where we experience the blessings of obedience, and seasons of pruning, where God removes things to make room for new growth.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 & 11 (NLT) reminds us that: “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven…. God has made everything beautiful for its own time.”
Understanding spiritual seasons helps us to trust God's timing. We must embrace each season for what it brings, without trying to deny it or wish it away. No matter where you are spiritually, know that God is working in you. Whether it is a time of rest, renewal, or transformation, He is faithful in every season. Keep walking in faith, knowing that His plan is perfect.
Sesibuye sangena esikhathini se-Kwindla eNingizimu Afrika, okuyisikhathi sezinguquko. Lokhu kuyisikhumbuzo sokuthi ukuphila akuyona into eme-ndawonye, futhi lokhu kuyafana nokuhamba kwethu noNkulunkulu. Njengoba nje imvelo iidlula ezikhathini ezahlukene, nokuphila kwethu ngokukamoya kudlula ezikhathini zezinguquko.
Ngengoba amaqabunga eguqula imibala futhi ahhohloke, kunezikhathi lapho kumele silahle khona izinto ezingasisizi ekukhuleni kwethu ngokukamoya. Lokhu kungaba imikhuba emidala, ubuhlungu besikhathi esedlule, noma ubudlelwano obuvimbela ukuthi sikhule ohambweni lwethu lokholo.
Njengoba nje emvelweni, sonke isikhathi sinenjongo, isikhathi esinye nesinye ngokukamoya sinenjongo. Kunezikhathi zokutshala, lapho uNkulunkulu ehlwanyela khona amaphupho amasha ezinhliziyweni zethu, kukhona nezikhathi zokulinda, lapho simethemba khona ngisho nalapho kungathi kasiyiboni imiphumela esheshayo. Kukhona nezikhathi zokuvuna, lapho sithola khona izibusiso zokulalela, nezikhathi zokuthenwa, lapho uNkulunkulu esusa khona izinto ezithikameza ukukhula okusha.
UmShumayeli 3:1 & 11 (ZUL59) usikhumbuza ukuthi: "Konke kunesikhathi sakho, yonke indaba inomzuzu wayo, phansi kwezulu ....” “UNkulunkulu wenzile konke kube kuhle esikhathini sakho.”
Ukuqonda izikhathi ngokukamoya kusisiza ukuba sethembele esikhathini sikaNkulunkulu. Kumele samukele izimo ezilethwa ukuguquka kwezikhathi nalokho eziza nakho, ngaphandle kokuthandabuza noma ukufisa ukuthi lezizinto zibe kude nathi. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukuphi ngokomoya, yazi ukuthi nguNkulunkulu osebenza kuwe, kungenandaba ukuthi yisikhathi sokuphumula, sokuvuselelwa, noma sokuguqulwa, Uthembekile kuzo zonke izikhathi zonyaka. Qhubeka uhambe ngokukholwa, ube-wazi ukuthi icebo Lakhe liphelele.
NOB EMPOWERMENT 2025 – YOU ARE INVITED
Sustaining the Fire!
We are looking forward to visiting and spending time in ministry and impartation with Regional Pastors, Assembly Leaders, Governing Body Members, Departments and Members during the Regional Empowerment Visits. The Theme for 2025 is: Sustaining the Fire!
"Sustaining the Fire" means staying passionate and committed to the presence and work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Just like a fire needs fuel to keep going, we need to continually feed our spiritual lives with prayer, worship, reading the Word, and walking in obedience to God. The Holy Spirit's fire represents His power, guidance, and presence, which keep us spiritually alive, strong, and effective. When we keep this fire burning, we stay connected to God, energized for His purpose, and ready to impact the world with His love and truth. “Never let the fire in your heart go out. Keep it alive. Serve the Lord.” Romans 12:11 (NIRV)
