"A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.-Ecclesiastes 3:4
Bible Reading: James 5:1-6
Message:
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”.-Ecclesiastes 3:1
It is clear from the above scripture that in God’s timetable, there is a time for everything.
Life is split into different seasons. There is a time to weep and a time to laugh; there is also a time to mourn and a time to dance (Ecclesiastes 3:4).One lesson here is that every man is expected to go through the ups and downs of life.
In order words, if you go through a weeping season, you will equally go through a laughing season.
If you have experienced a season of mourning, you will also experience a season of dancing.
However, if all you experience is the down seasons, something is most likely wrong somewhere. The forces of darkness, together with their human agents, often do what they can to manipulate their victims so that they never experience the good seasons of life.
Every evil plot against you that is geared towards separating you from your good seasons shall come to nought in Jesus’ Name!
“But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.”
Luke 16:25
In Luke 16:19-31, the Lord told the story of a rich man and a certain beggar named Lazarus. These two characters experienced different seasons on earth that contrasted greatly with the seasons
they found themselves eternally living in after they died.
While the rich man enjoyed a good season
on earth, he found himself in an unending season of torment in eternity. On the other hand, Lazarus experienced very bad seasons while on earth, but he found himself enjoying an unending season of joy in eternity.

One crucial lesson here is that if your stay on earth is just to enjoy yourself without giving consideration to having a good relationship with God, be prepared to spend an eternity without God.
If you live life without Christ, you will live an eternity separated from God. In other words, how you live today will determine the permanent season you will experience in eternity.
What season are you bringing upon yourself for eternity? In our Bible reading,
rich men living in so much affluence and engaging in the excesses of the rich were asked to mourn over the evil season that would befall them in time to come.
Are you going through a bad season in life? You shall soon enter a new season of joy in Jesus Name. If you are in Christ, that season of joy will lead to a permanent season of joy in eternity.
Thank God for your new season of joy. Hallelujah!
