GETTING READY FOR THE NEW

GETTING READY FOR THE NEW

Tomorrow marks the end of year 2020. It’s been a year of experiences different from other years but in everything we give God thanks because this is His will concerning us. As we appreciate God for this eventful year and cross over to a new year, year 2021 our year of Plenty, Taking New Territories, these thoughts resonates in me;

It’s time to get over fear by doing what you’re afraid of. Don’t be a victim. Victims blame, Victors learn. Victors figure out what went wrong and rearrange their life so that it never happens again. Otherwise life will just keep throwing the very same lesson at you until you ‘get it.’ 

Be a fast learner and do more of heart learning. Heart learning is transformational learning while head learning is informational learning. It’s time for total transformation. Rom12:1-2

See the future, the new territories you are about to take with the eyes of faith. Don’t let the past haunt or limit you. Nobody puts a new wine in an old wine skin. It will burst it and waste the wine. Your efforts in the new year will not be wasted.

Engage the power of leverage. Use everything you have to maximum advantage. Big doors swing on little hinges. A tree does not make a forest. You will need people to work with to enhance your assignment because what God wants to do is very great. If you shut people out, you will be shutting yourself in. When Jesus told Peter to throw the net, he caught a net breaking harvest, he couldn’t carry it alone. He had to beckon to other people to help.

Be sensitive to divine direction. It is only God that knows where the Plenty and the new territories He has promised is, so let Him lead you. He led Peter to the fish that was carrying the coin. He directed him to where he should throw the net for a great harvest after working all night without results. Great results and restoration will come your way in Jesus name. May the Lord crown our year with goodness and drop fatness in our path. Compliments of the season.

Shalom

Uncontrollable Circumstances of life

I woke on the 4th of June which was my birthday with a heart of thanksgiving. I honestly have so many reasons to thank God looking at the goodness of God in my life. It was a Sunday and the church celebrated me, coupled with the fact that the day before was our 28th wedding anniversary. So it was double celebration characterized with so much singing and dancing, giving glory to God.  Usually my parents will call early to sing and pray, which was their custom for all their children and grandchildren, but they didn’t call me. I assumed it was because it was a Sunday and they knew we will be getting ready for church.  After service I called to ask why they didn’t call me, my mom said I should put that aside. They prayed for me. I spoke with my mom thrice that day, the last was 6pm when she called saying she will be going to buy something. I said I’ll come the following day to take since she prefers I drive her instead of her driver, but she said I shouldn’t bother. My dad called me at 8:3

DON’T GIVE UP

  Challenges and dificulties are unavoidable. They come whether you are walking in God’s will or not. Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth had to contend with barrenness. We all have to contend with one challenge or the other at every point in life.  When you are faced with difficult situations, do you give up or walk through? A very good example of a person that persevered is Abraham Lincoln. He failed some many times but he pushed past his failures and eventually became the 16th president of the United States. His name is known till date because he didn’t give up. Life is full of experiences that will make you swim or sink.    Don’t wait to learn to swim when the boat is at verge of capsizing. God is always willing to walk us through every difficult situation. Build a strong relationship with God before crises.  Faith believes what it can’t see which is contrary to the world standard. People can easily relate with what they can see that is why they state the obvious. Always see the light at t

COUNT IT ALL JOY

  James 1:2-3 KJV - My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Contrary to the normal human mindset, we are instructed to count our trials and temptations as joy. This is kingdom mindset, not the world’s. God’s plan is to use our trials to make us grow and to strengthen us.    This looks impossible to the natural man. That is why the scriptures the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Those trials try our faith and produce patience in you. Faith is built as you hear the word of God, but trials reveal how much faith you have. Faith is tested through trials but not produced by trials. Counting your trials as joy is a way of expressing your faith and it shows whether you are focusing on the trial or on God. When you focus on God, it depicts your trust in Him and empowers you to giv
