YOU CANNOT BE FRUITFUL OUTSIDE YOUR SEASON.
It is not possible for a tree nor a human to be fruitful outside season.
Your life is not perpetual here on Earth
There is a definite season when certain things must happen
God can do anything, just believe Him.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under Heaven.
Everything under heaven has a time in which it must be done
You can’t take things forever in your pursuit of destiny
You cannot get pregnant anytime.
Understand the seasons and times.

The race is not for the swift.
The battle is not for the strong.

The opposite of speed is slowness.
After today, we should make radical changes.
We should be swift in doing things.
To win a race, there must be an element of speed.
