Knowing the Seasons of God
by Ps Donnaven Teoh

Introduction
Mark 1:14-15: We are here for a definite reason and a definite season for a divine purpose. We don’t have to wait for the upper room experience, but we can have the fullness of the Holy Spirit. E.g. Billy Graham knew when the season ended for him and made a graceful exit.

Two Types of Time:

1. Chronos – Natural time


2. Kairos – God’s Time: The time is fulfilled. It has come to a maturity and a time to accomplishment. An opportune moment or season where a foreordained event is going to take place.

Jesus was about 30, when he left the house. When he was baptized, the carpenter disappeared but the Son of Man appeared (new mandate). God gave him open recognition “This is my beloved son…” the new season/office as the Son of man has begun. When he died and resurrected he became the Son of God.

30 in Hebrew signifies maturity. Jesus was waiting for the mandate from heaven and was launched into a new season.

God is ready to do something new. The season has come, let God be God. When Kairos comes, we ought to repent and belief. Repentance – change of heart and be more passionate to reach out; wanting to know what the Father says.

Luke 19:41-44 – Jesus wept because the people we ignorant of what was happening in the season.

In the Flood, Noah took 120 years to build the ark; God’s judgement was upon them who were ignorant.

Lk 19:42 – You miss the Kairos of your visitation. There is a season coming very quickly and God is gathering the hearts of His people.

John 7:5-8 – Jesus knows God’s Season and timing. Jesus knows what and when He is supposed to do. We ought to be walking the walk of Jesus on earth.

Mark 6 – The disciples feed the 5000. As they fed or gave out a miracle happened.

We ought to be walking the walk of Jesus on earth. The Holy Spirit is available all the time but do we have it in our hearts the fullness of God? Know the Kairos time and move with God.
