Ecclesiates 3
1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
11He hath made every thing beautiful in his time:
It is common knowledge that in this world, women are tasked with the delivery of babies. However as christians, when operating in the realm of the spirit, most of our achievements share a strong correlation with the “birthing process”. As such, we begin to understand that it is not just women that go through the birthing process, but men also. We all have visions, ideas, plans, and purposes that need to be birthed at one time or another – depending on the time or season we are currently in, in our lives. Missing the God-ordained timing or season for a particular purpose planned for us may mean having to wait again for the next window of opportunity or the season to come around. This, is an quick synopsis of the knowledge Apostle Michael Adefarasin intimated to us on Thursday – Day 5, Glory Cloud 2009, which he built upon for the remainder of his sessions during the Glory Cloud convention.
Birthing Correlations
Many similarities exist between the spiritual and physical realms. Before there is a manifestation in the physical, there has to be a birthing first in the spiritual.
In his message, Apostle Adefarasin taught that when we have a dream, a vision, or a purpose, it comes to us as a seed – just as a woman is inseminated. No dream or purpose comes about fully grown. There has to be some form of incubation, a development process.
- When we have a seed within us, we begin to go through changes to adapt to the growth requirements of the seed. For example, we may begin to get irritated with the present circumstances.
- Like a woman’s body stretches during pregnancy, we find that we also need to stretch ourselves to keep a vision alive.
- As her taste buds change during pregnancy she must adapt to eating new food, while being careful to nuture and feed her body and her baby. In the same way, to nuture the seed given us, we must feed on the word of God that relates to the seed.
This is a very minute snapshot. Pastor Adefarasin was very indepth with his teaching, and to fully capture the beauty and the power of the message, you would have needed to be there!
