Mark 2:22 - “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.”
For every new level or new beginning that the Spirit of God brings you into, you must be rightly positioned to maximise the moments and opportunities associated with such new level. One way to position yourself to get the maximum is by having a change of mindset which agrees to the season you have come into. An old way of thinking can really affect the new that God has brought into your life.
A good example of this was the nation of Israel when they came out of Egypt. It was a new season - a new beginning. However, the possibilities of the new season could not be realised by many of them. Spies had been sent to the land they were to take over and some of these spies brought back bad news which troubled the people. So they said; “Why has the LORD brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” Numbers 14:3.
They contemplated going back to the old season; a return to Egypt. They thought of going back into a season of slavery even after they had been brought into a new season of freedom through God’s mighty deliverance. Don’t let your mindset limit you. Jesus wept over Jerusalem; “They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.” Luke 19:44 (NLT). Be discerning of your seasons and think and act accordingly so you do not miss out on God’s agenda. May you not miss what God has ordained for you.
Prayer: Dear Father, may I not miss what You have ordained for every season You bring me into. I pray that my eyes will be open by Your Spirit to recognise my opportunities and what I should do so I can maximise my seasons, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
