“Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into fire, —For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away” Mathew 3:10, 25:29.
Just like we have different weather seasons that dictate how nature takes its course, we also have seasons in our lives that dictate the way we operate. It is therefore important to understand the season that you are in order to operate effectively. One must however understand that the season of success does not tie in directly with the natural seasons.
Some Important Factors to note:
1) Winter is the season of dreaming and planning: Spring the season of planting: Summer the season for growing and cultivating and: Autumn the season for harvesting and dispersing.
b) The seasons are not necessarily the same length- Some may be longer or shorter than others
c) A season has a beginning and an ending- take note when one season is ending and you are entering the next.
d) The seasons are always in sequence- Make sure you understand what season you are in so that you can respond to the season effectively
2) Crops of success may have different growing periods but all follow the same sequence of seasons. In other words some of your successes will fall into place quickly while others will take years. One area of your life may experience slow growth, another more rapid growth. Just like a mango tree takes longer to bear fruit than corn.
3) Success crops may be cultivated in several areas of your life simultaneously. That is to say, you may be in one season in your personal, social or family life and in quite a different one in your career or business . You may face one set of seasonal challenges as you seek to develop a new skill or to complete a degree program.

Ways to discover your life's mission
“—I am God and there is no other; I am God and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure’, calling a bird of prey from the east, the man who executes my counsel, from a far country, Isaiah 46:9-11.
A lot of people feel bored and frustrated by life because they find no meaning for living. The same things go on daily and they wonder whether all they see is all there is to life. Until one finds the purpose of their being this kind of feelings is likely to linger because one lives a meaningless life.
To some the feeling of nothingness may come earlier and to others later in life. The fact of the matter is that we are not here by accident. No child is unwanted because before God allowed that child to be conceived, He had established the purpose for the child’s existence. It is our responsibility to find out what that purpose is.
God is a God of purpose and all His creation has a purpose. Scripture says that “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men” John 1:3-4. In other words we only exist because God made us and the special gifts we each have are entrusted to us by God.
All of us in God are of value and unique but apart from God we are nothing. It thus follows that to establish one’s mission in life one must start with the creator. What God has called you to do will come to pass if you are willing and obedient to listen and follow.
Ignorance of your purpose in life can create abuse of the gifts God has endowed you with. There are so many talented people today but they use their gifts and talents for evil purposes or reject their gift. Whatever God has entrusted you with He will use it for His glory if you will let him.
Ignorance of your purpose does not cancel your purpose because the gifting of God is irrevocable. If you are not careful that same gift can lead to your destruction when not used for the purpose it was intended.

Timing the Seasons of Your Life
“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven” Ecclesiastes 3:1.
Most of the time opportunities come our way but we waste them because we have not prepared ourselves to utilize them. We worry about things we want to do but cannot instead of doing things we can do. We forget that success is not a destination but a way of travelling.
To ensure that you get the desires of your life, you must understand that everything happens in seasons and you must understand the seasons of your life and use them wisely. In his book “Timing is everything” Denis Waitely suggests certain principles that are important in timing your life.
Principles to consider in timing your Life:
1) View your success from the long view of time- Success is the collection of your memories; the employment and enjoyment of your present moments and the anticipation of the coming season.
2) View your failures from the short view of time- Failure is delay, not defeat. Choose to use your failure as the fertilizer of your success. In other words, use you errors and mistakes as a way to learn and then dismiss those errors and mistakes form your mind. The meaning of any failure or any success depends on how we take it and what we make of it.

The Importance of Setting Goals for your life
“The purposes of a man’s heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out” – Proverbs 20:5.
If you want to be successful in life, start by setting goals for yourself. Goals help you focus on what is important instead of reacting to whatever is thrown into your path. Goals provide clarity about what you want and determine the direction of your decision rather than leaving things to happen inadvertently. Setting your goals helps you think about them and talk about them to others and in the process attract the right people, ideas and circumstances into your life to make your goals come into fruition.
How then do you go about setting your goals?
Establish what your mission in life is and make this your main purpose or major goal in life. Your mission in life must be compatible with your true self. This will entail you identifying your strengths and weaknesses. Richard N Bolles said, God has already revealed His will to us concerning our vocation and mission by causing it to be” written in our members”. We are to begin deciphering our unique mission by studying our talents and skills and particularly which ones (or one) we most rejoice to use.
