“While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat,
Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22 (NKJV)
What are you sowing into this New Year?
As the year has just started what are your expectations?
You need to sow into what you want this year to be.
It can’t just happen with wishful thinking.
You need to take practical steps each new day to achieve your goals.
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7) KJV
Everyone knows that a man reaps what he sows.
If a man sows cucumber, he will get cucumber, or nothing else.
If he plants carrots, he will get carrots, or nothing else.
The truth is this: A man reaps what he sows.
Please don’t forget that the law about reaping what we sow runs throughout all aspects of life.
It is not only in the gardens and the fields.
With clarity of thoughts and purpose take daily action towards your dreams.
You know where you are and where you desire to be.
Act and plan accordingly, just as the farmer does in his fields.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said this: “Sow a thought, and you reap an action; sow an act, and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny.”
“And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.” (Exodus 3:2-4)KJV
You start the New Year knowing God is calling you to a Purposeful life in Him.
God who knows you before you were formed calls you by name.
• God called Moses using his name.
• God called Samuel using his name.
• God called Paul/Saul using his name.
When God is calling people to serve Him, He is talking to them.
• After God called Moses using His name, the next step was to send him a message to deliver His People
• When God called Samuel, He had a special message for the home of Eli and showcased Him as incorruptible.
• When God called Saul, the purpose of that revelation was to bring a message which was going to impact the body of Christ and reach out to then neglected Gentiles.
He is calling you too.
How?
His Word rooted in the Scriptures.
Putting in you a big desire to serve Him.
Confirming His calling through different people,
His Holy Spirit who lives in you bears a witness in You.
Are you willing to submit to His call?
HE will tell You your distinct and unique assignment in life.
Live this New Year Knowing and Doing what God has called You to do.
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations..” Jeremiah 1:5 KJV
The New Year 2019 brings the hopes and dreams of You becoming more of what God has purposed You to be.
Before You were conceived in your mother’s womb, there is a laid out Purposeful life which God then assigned you to fulfill as you become a living being here on earth.
Occasionally like a movie trailer HE shows you what that life is about in a little bit.
Remember how Joseph had his dreams of the sheaves, eleven stars, the moon and sun bowing to him.
Eventually, it all happened.
Who are You?
I don’t mean just the names You are known with.
Who are You before God?
Yes, Ask God for what HE has purposed you to be in this life’s assignment.
Therefore as you start this New Year reflect on Your Purposeful life and know that as you become more knowledgeable about God, you will continue to discover who God has really purposed You to be.
By His Grace, You will attain and be fulfilled this New Year.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you …” Jeremiah 1:5 AMPC
Do You Have a Plan? Even as You Prepare for 2019 ???
“ And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.” (1 Kings 17:13)
Do you really have a plan that God can use to bring about your miracles in this 2019 that is a few hours away?
It is evident from the story above that the widow of Zarephath did not just sit and wallow in the misery surrounding her. She kept thinking even when it was difficult to think through. She looked at her little resources and had small tasks of what to do.
God always shows up to bless our rightful thoughts, which are essentially our plans.
Do you have definite ideas that could lead you out of the situation you are in or increase you to higher levels of abundance?
Or you are just blank, negative, blaming and “cursing” everybody you think is responsible for the position you are in?
Today don’t just “pray through” into the New Year.
Sit down and have concrete, practical steps of what to do better or something new that will make your dreams come through.
Engage yourself in thinking through and turn over your thoughts to the WORD of God.
The woman in our text above diffused her plans with the Word of God from Elijah, and she lived in abundance for the rest of her life.
Saturate your plans with Real Promises from the Word of God.
Don’t just make it up and say a New Year Resolution.
God always blesses what is in your hands, your ideas, your thoughts.
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us“ (Ephesians 3:20).
What are you asking or thinking of today as the New Year approaches?
God is able to come in and perfect those plans for HIS Glory
Enter into 2019 with a God-Approved Plan for your Purposeful life.
My Lovely wife Olutoyin and I encourage you to position Yourself for 2019 that has No Limitations for God’s Purpose in Your Blessed Life.
We thank you for allowing us to share with you throughout 2018 the God-given Empowerment words.
“And it will be said, “Build up, build up, prepare the way, Remove every obstacle out of the way of My people.” Isaiah 57:14
The Bible encourages us to remove every obstacle that will hinder our Christian journey through life.
“Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,” Hebrews 12:1
What are those things that are hindering your victorious Christian life?
You need to consciously remove those habits, traditions of men that does not allow you to be who God has purposed you to be.
To attain your goals, you need to drop everything that is hindering you, and sometimes it’s the good things that keep you away from being better while the better keeps you from becoming your best.
The Apostle Paul demonstrated this focus with his life of commitment which purely emulates what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ did by doing only what the Father has sent Him to do all the time.
Will you also focus only on the assignments God has given you so that you can consistently fight just the good fight of faith, which implies that some weights may be the wrong and unnecessary fights?
“The Messiah will lead you out of exile and bring you through the gates of your cities of captivity, back to your land. Your King will go before you—the Lord leads on.” Micah 2: 13
As you prepare for the new Year 2019 Jesus Christ, the Author, and Finisher of our faith will enable you and empower you to remove every obstacle in your way of success in Jesus Name.
“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.” (Luke 2:10-12)KJV
How should the message of Christmas affect you and me?
1. It Stirs The Soul. It awakes our soul!!!
Our soul was deadened by our sin. The birth of Christ is telling us that Someone came to rescue us from the bondage of sin!
2. It Simulates Our Devotion. Remember the shepherds?
They were the people who saw and heard the message from the angel. After they listened to the news, they went to verify it, if it was true.
Understanding the message of God should simulate our devotion to Him!
3. It Substantiates His Love.
This is how much God loves mankind! He sent His Son on our earth.
To be one of us. ( To have fellowship with the Trinity)
4. It Seeks His Glory. The message of the Christmas is God’s glory!.
Jesus came to the world to seek and restore God’s glory that man lost. Don’t ever forget this!
5. It Strengthens Our Hope.
Do we really need hope?
What kind of hope?
The hope that we can be reconciled with God.
This implies the truth that we have PEACE with God.
It’s incredible how impactful is the message of Christmas!
