Most people bury the prophecy in their hearts because it doesn't compute with their human understanding. When God speaks, His words often clash with logic, requiring faith to grasp what's been spoken. Abraham waited 100 years; God promised a son, and Sarah laughed not out of disrespect, but bewilderment. At 80, conceiving seemed impossible to her human mind.

Many neglect God's prophecy because it doesn't add up. I've known I'm called, but when God said 'it's time,' it didn't make sense given my age and circumstances. I battled for months, researching others' stories, seeking validation. Imagine if I'd disobeyed? Where would I be? I've learned: if it's from God, it won't make sense He's not bound by human limitations.

TITTLE: HE GOT TIME AND SEASON IN HIS HANDS

One of the things that can frustrate a Christian is doing everything expected and still seeing no results. The Bible says, ‘Give and you shall receive,’ but sometimes giving doesn’t seem to bring receiving. It’s said that if you’re faithful with your body, you’ll get married, yet faithfulness doesn’t always lead to marriage. This can affect a Christian deeply when they’ve done all they can and see nothing.

What do you do when you’re faithful to God’s instructions but don’t see results? Abraham left his father’s house and went to a land God showed him, where he was supposed to become a father of a nation. Abraham obeyed, but still waited 100 years for a child. It can seem like God was lying or Abraham didn’t obey, but that’s not the case. It’s about trusting God’s timing and plan, even when results aren’t visible.

Prayer changes many things in life, but not every situation will change by prayer or fasting. Some things only change by season, hence the Bible says there’s a time for everything time to mourn and time to rejoice. You can’t pray for joy in a season of mourning. No matter how long you pray, you can’t make a mango tree mature and bear fruit in June; it will wait for its season until December.

In those waiting seasons, God is shaping our character, deepening our faith, and preparing us for what’s ahead. Trusting Him means believing that His timing is perfect, even when we don’t understand it.

There are seasons of dryness you’ll go through, where you try everything to succeed and still don’t make it. It’s not that you’re cursed or sinning; it’s just a season of dryness. The hard part is that people around you, family, church members, might question you, think you’ve done something wrong, or assume you’re living in sin. But it’s not about you failing to do something right; it’s just the season.

Like Job, who lost everything and was blamed by his friends, thinking he sinned. Job started questioning God, ‘What have I done?’ But it wasn’t about sin; it was a season of dryness, a time when everything was taken from him. It’s not always about sin; sometimes, it’s just the season.

There’s a time for everything. Not everything will change by prayer or anything. Things will just change because it’s their season. What we have to learn is to be patient. We need to have the character of being patient.

When you’re going through a season of trial and do everything to try to be fruitful or successful, you might end up losing everything. You might go to places you’re not supposed to go, thinking you can change things. You might try trading, gambling, but if you’re in a season of trial, what you do might not make you fruitful; instead, it could make you lose things you’re not supposed to lose.
