Sermon Tone Analysis

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

What time is it in your life?

Where are you in your walk?

Have you set goals for yourself and developed a plan for how you are going to achieve them?

Do you have a timeline?

Have you set smaller goals that lead you to your big goal?

And then have you considered what’s next.

Solomon, God said there would never be one as wise as him and he’s telling us there’s a season for everything, not only that, there’s a time for every matter under heaven.

Solomon, God said there would never be one as wise as him and he is telling us there is a season for everything, not only that, there is a time for every matter under heaven.

He didn’t say time for every matter, there are some things you just need to leave alone.

He said, a time for every matter.

There are some things we are going to experience here on this side of heaven.

So you need to know that, in due time some things are going to come your way.

Your time is coming to do and be what God has called you to be.

Your time may already be here.

Seven years ago, you could not have told me I would be standing here.

Seven years ago you could not have told me I would be a licensed real estate agent, a doctoral student and the co-pastor of a church.

But God has plans for us we can’t even imagine.

No eye has seen, no ear heard, nor has it entered the heart of man, what God has prepared for those who love Him.

You see, when your life is all about Him, things start to happen, opportunities come you don’t expect, opportunities you’re not even looking for—But God.

In the next eight verses of this Scripture Solomon gives us a lists of opposites.

He begins with “a time to be born”.

Now when we think of a time to be born, we typically think of a baby.

Can I give you another picture?

There are times when God has given you a vision for your life, He gives you an assignment; and when it has fully come to maturity, when you have prayed, when you have done your research, when you have investigated, when you have spoken to those who may have the knowledge or experience for the tasks, and you have prayed some more, there comes a time to birth that vision—there comes a time to open the doors of the church, literally.

There comes a time to enroll in the class, there comes a time to leave the house and go to your first day of work, or to the bank to apply for the loan, or to the landlord to rent the building.

There comes a time when you have push through for your vision to be born.

When a woman is pregnant, she carries that baby for 40 weeks, she eats healthy, she exercises, she takes care of herself because she has someone else whose life depends on what she does.

When God gives you a vision you have to nurture it, you have to take care of it, you have to take care of you and when the time comes, when the child has reached maturity, the woman has to push out the baby, if she doesn’t push, the baby could die, if she doesn’t push the baby could have brain damage, if she doesn’t push the baby could be oxygen deprived, if she doesn’t push… When you’re this close to your goal, sometimes you may have to push to get through, you may have to push to realize the dream.

You’re almost there, you almost see your baby, you can almost see your goal.

PUSH…your vision is about to be born.

Then there is a time to die.

Yes, “Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble”.

When a baby is born they begin to die.

We were all born and unless Jesus returns first, we will all die.
