SLP017 - Successfully Navigating Seasons of Change

On this episode, we will be talking about ‘Successfully Navigating Seasons of Change’.

•  Are you satisfied with where you are in your life today?
•  Does the idea of CHANGE frighten you?
•  Are you aware that your life has seasons, and that new seasons require us to make necessary change to enjoy the season?

Well, today, I want to share with you ’12 Questions That Will Help You Navigate Seasons of Change’.

Scriptural Principle:

Ecclesiastes 3:1-9

3 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven. ² A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. ³ A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up. ⁴ A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance. ⁵ A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. ⁶ A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away. ⁷ A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak. ⁸ A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace.

Intro:

There are few things are more constant than change.  Everything in creation is in a state of change. All growth requires change. In fact, anything that is not changing is DYING. Our lives are always in a state of change, and if we are to enjoy the benefits that growth and new opportunities present, it is imperative hat we EMBRACE CHANGE.

There are four types of change

1. Change that happens around us
2. Change that happens to us
3. Change that happens in us
4. Change we make happen 

Change is inevitable … what kind will you experience?
