Feeding Season

By Manny Rivera | December 7, 2011 |

As you may well know, my writing has been somewhat infrequent this past month. I haven’t been writing as often as I used to in the past. The truth is that I believe I’m in a feeding season.

As people of the Kingdom and ministers in particular, we should always be in a state of pouring out to others. This is our calling and commission. On the other hand, I also believe that there are specific seasons when we need poring into. That’s where I am now. God is calling me to a feeding time of recovery and preparation for the future.

God fed Elijah two times for two different purposes in 1 Kings 19:1-7. The first meal was for recovery and the second meal was a preparation for the upcoming journey. I believe we live out this same pattern in our own lives. There are times when God calls away not just to recover but to also prepare us for the upcoming season of much work, warfare, intercession and harvesting.

Our feeding season has to first restore our spiritual health and then “carb load” us for the race that is set before us. That’s where I am now… It’s feeding time and I can’t seem to get enough of God and His Word.

I challenge you today, prepare for your next season of fruitfulness, enter your feeding season so you will have the capacity to steward what God has prepared for you.

We can’t run out of energy in this new race. We have to feed ourselves with the Word of God to be equipped for the race. We are in a new season, we have to count the cost and go with all our strength. God I pray that you will help me in this feeding season to be ready for the future.

Thank you Pastor for sharing. I do agree that we must stay focus and be in preparation to what is yet to come. God has promise us much and we must be ready to steward it all. Everyday has to be a day of more hunger for GOD’s Word and His Presence.

WOW! What a glorious time in our lives and our church. This is our
season which our Heavenly Father has given to us. This is my time
for spiritual feeding. Thanks to the awesome Christmas party that
you and your gracious wife provided for us. From my gift I have
plenty of spiritual food. Books, Bible and Hillsong C.D.
