“Our Heavenly Father is the God of times and seasons. He determines the times and seasons of your life. As a child of God, nothing happens to you by chance. Th ere is nothing that happens to you that takes God by surprise. Naturally speaking, the moon and the sun were created to illuminate the Earth and to separate the day from night. They were to serve as signs to mark seasons, such as days and years.”

Life rarely moves in neat chapters. It spills, overlaps, rushes forward when you’re not ready and stalls when you are. Some seasons feel full and bright, almost generous. Others feel stretched thin, like waiting rooms with no clocks. And in between all that, growth, delay, confusion, small wins no one else notices, there’s this quiet question most people carry around without saying it out loud: Am I where I’m supposed to be? That question sits right at the heart of The God of Times and Seasons.
Author Bishop Simeon Agbolabori is the founder and president of Simeon Agbolabori Ministries International (SAMI) and the Setting The Captives Free Crusades (STCF). He is the founder and chairman Board of Trustees of Greater Houston Ministers Fellowship (GHMF) an umbrella for ministers in Houston Texas. He is the leader of the Nigerian Christian Association International (NCAI) Houston, Texas, former member, and chairman of the Mayoral International Advisory Committee.
Dr. Agbolabori doesn’t approach life like a straight line. He writes as someone who understands that things don’t always unfold when or how people expect them to. His perspective leans heavily on faith, but it’s not detached or abstract. It feels grounded in lived experience; watching time pass, watching people miss moments, watching others step into them.
The idea he keeps coming back to is simple, but it carries weight: life moves in seasons, whether you recognize them or not. The book itself doesn’t try to be overly refined. It’s not chasing literary flair or complicated language. Instead, it reads like a steady stream of thought, sometimes direct, sometimes repetitive, occasionally circling back to the same idea just to press it a little deeper.
And honestly, that works. Because the message isn’t complicated. It’s just easy to ignore. There’s a strong focus on awareness, understanding what season you’re in and, maybe more importantly, responding to it the right way. Not forcing things to happen out of time. Not sitting still when it’s time to move. That balance sounds simple until you try to apply it to real life, where everything feels urgent or delayed all at once.
Dr. Agbolabori leans on biblical narratives to unpack these ideas, figures like Joseph and Daniel, people who went through long stretches of preparation before anything visible happened. But the stories aren’t presented as distant history. They’re framed more like patterns.
Waiting isn’t wasted.
Preparation isn’t punishment.
Delay doesn’t always mean denial.
Still, the book doesn’t pretend those seasons are easy. If anything, it acknowledges how frustrating they can be, especially when nothing seems to be changing on the surface.
One of the more noticeable threads running through the book is the idea of preparation. Not the kind people celebrate, but the kind that happens quietly, without recognition. The kind where it feels like life has paused, but something underneath is still moving.
There’s a sense that a lot of people want the results tied to a season they haven’t actually gone through yet.
And that lands a bit heavier than expected.
Because it shifts the focus. Less about when will things happen for me, more about am I ready when they do.
