INTRODUCTION: There are seasons of life. We must all admit that seasons of our lives will continue to change for as long as the Lord keeps us alive to witness them (Genesis 8:22). We will, therefore, be wise if we constantly remind ourselves that no matter what we are passing through, there will be a change because change in life is constant. Accepting this obvious fact once and for all will make us enjoy life itself. It is, therefore, important for us to understand God’s role and how to live consciously.
LESSON OUTLINES:
- GOD’S ROLE
- LIVE CONSCIOUSLY
1. GOD’S ROLE
From the very beginning of the creation of this earth, the Almighty God Himself made sure that there was no uniformity in His creation. He made light and darkness, day and night, male and female, etc. (Genesis 1:5, 27). The differences in creation eradicated potential boredom. Can you imagine a world in which man experiences only darkness? All these different seasons are what make life, interesting (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
Likewise, the season of joy comes when we celebrate success, victory, breakthrough, promotion, good achievements, etc. (Psalm 118:24) while the season of sorrow causes sadness, grief and lamentations as a result of loss, failure, defeats, demotion, betrayal, etc. (Psalm 116:3). Season of abundance comes with so much available to use and even share (Isaiah 7:22; 1 Kings 10:27) with others while one can also experience a season of lack and struggle (2 Kings 6:25-30). A season of health comes with physical fitness and a sound mind (Psalm 105:37; Genesis 43:28); Season of sickness can be filled with pain, ache, and dis-comfort (2 Kings 20:1; John 11:1-3).
Other seasons may include a season of progress and a season of stagnation (Exodus 14:1-3, 13-16); a season of growth and a season of deterioration (Genesis 41:29-31); a season of strength and a season of weakness (1 Kings 19:1-3); a season of answered prayers and season of waiting/unanswered prayers (Job 14:14-15;2 Corinthians 12:9).
2. LIVE CONSCIOUSLY
Knowing that there are seasons in life gives us hope that no matter the conditions that we are in, there will always be a change (Job 14:14). We should, therefore, not despair if the season we are in is not as bright and as promising as we would have liked it to be (2 Corinthians 4:8). A new season is on its way (Psalm 30:5). The new season will usher in beauty for ashes, unspeakable joy and blessings (Isaiah 61:3).
Believers must prepare for all seasons of life 2:10). Pray for a good season and always rejoice in the fact that all things (seasons) work together for our good (Romans 8:28).
CONCLUSION: Believers are not immune to negative seasons but are blessed with the assurance of God’s presence even when it does not look or feel like it (Isaiah 35:4).
QUESTIONS
- What roles does God play in the seasons of life?

Sunday: Leviticus 26:3-6 (KJV)
3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
Monday: Deuteronomy 28:12 (KJV)
The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

Wednesday: Psalm 1:1-3 (KJV)
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
