Mark the phrase ((For Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,). It carries an important indication for your harvest time. The banks of a river keep the river within its defined parameters. When a river overflows its banks, it moves beyond its expected limits and in most cases, people and properties along an overflowed river bank are likely to be evacuated.
Here is the million-dollar question: Why did Jordan overflow all its banks all the time of harvest? What message does it carry along? It carries a profound message. Harvest season doesn't usually appear as harvest season; at times, it is ushered by challenges, which have actually overstepped their boundaries. Thus, it is practically impossible to recognize your harvest season without a change of mentality and perspective. Ordinary mindset and perspective say; when situations out-step their boundaries, it is a sign of a difficult period ahead, but an extraordinary mindset says: Wow! My harvest is here!
You know the sons of God not by their dance in church, but by their perspective of life's challenges. God didn't lead Israel across the Jordan River in a season when the river receded, but when it overflowed its banks. Hear me and hear me well. If you have been encountering challenges on every front since the year began. Listen! Your harvest is here! This year will be the greatest year of your life. I speak as I hear! The seven month begins your transformation. It is time to change your perspective about the challenges, difficulties and troubles coming against you on every side. They are indicators of the imminence of your harvest season.
Don't sit back and mourn; step out and do the impossible. When the priest stepped into the River Jordan according to God's command; in the time when the Jordan River overflowed all its banks, the river parted. Listen! It is time to act a bit crazy; stepping into areas contrary to the situations around you. “The just shall live by faith and not by sight.” It is your season of harvest! WOW!
Someone needs to preach this message to his congregants; it will change their outlook and lift-up their spirit. I hear the sound of abundance of rain! It's my season!! It's your season!! Go and spread the word!! Cheers! DrBenard Etta
