Determining Your harvest size from the Lense of no Limits – Harvest is the product or result of any exertion or course of action, reward or consequences. In Farming Harvest means the season of gathering ripened crops; specifically, the time of reaping and gathering grain. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
[1] To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:
[2] A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted.
[3] A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break 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 cast away stones, and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.
[6] A time to gain, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to throw away.
[7] A time to tear, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.

The greatest gift that God gave to us is time. It doesn’t matter your color, your religious background, your ethnicity, your tribe. This gift of time is given to us all whether you are a believer or an unbeliever. gave Generously. Time is the inevitable progression into the future with the passing of present and past events. Time cannot be avoided or prevented, Time is measured by according to man seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, month, years, decades, millennium etc.
Colossians 4:5 Nkjv, [5] Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Colossians 4:5 Amp, 5. Conduct yourself with wisdom in your interactions with outsiders (non-believers), make the most of each opportunity [treating it as something precious]. Galatians 6:10, [10] Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
From these Scriptures above. It is revealed that Gods time is opportunity. God’s time is measured by days, nights (morning and evening) and seasons, and according to scriptures Time was the First day creation of God, Genesis 1:1-5,
[1] In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
[2] The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
[3] Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
[4] And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
[5] God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So, the evening and the morning were the first day.
This was so because God built His supernatural realm in accordance to his time known as opportunity. Genesis 8:22, [22] “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, and day and night Shall not cease.” By Wisdom we do not wait for the right time to act on an opportunity for an opportunity is God’s right time.
