To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

Overview:

Time and time God want to incubate you before launching you into the deep for a greater result.

This result is base on the purpose of your calling. Know one thing everyone calling is different no matter how similar they might look.  The more time spent in your seasons on incubation the greater the challenges in the deep and more the grace to overcome it.

The Bible says: "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" - Ecclesiastes 3:1.

If anyone neglect or spend less time in the seasons of incubation, the same will suffer it the deep because the "DEEP" is the place of the mission that brings in the abundance.  And this is preceded by the seasons of harvesting, breakthrough and abundant.

Its like a life cycle [INCUBATION - THE DEEP - BREAKTHROUGH, HARVESTING - ABUNDANT].

Jeremiah 5:24 - Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
