Ecclesiastes 10:15(The labour of the
foolish wearieth every one of them because he knoweth not how to get to the
city).
Life is a journey and Christianity is a
race; in every race there is a prize to be won at the end. Your preparation is
what will determine your outcome because you can only move as your strength
allows. That’s why there is a need for us to develop our spiritual muscle in
order to run the race of the year with an outstanding result. Apostle Paul ran
his race to the finish line and obtained his crown because he committed to a
lifestyle of prayer and fasting and the study of the word. Thank God for what
happened last year; even if you did not win any prize, the fact that you are
alive to witness this New Year shows that something good has happened in your
life. The bible says that in everything we should give thanks to God (1
Thessalonians 5:18). You are alive by His grace and not by power
neither is it by your righteousness (Zechariah 4:6); if you are
opportune to see this New Year; it is because God has a plan for you; there is
something you need to do; there is something you need to get right. Your
assignment here on earth is done yet. Perhaps He has given you another chance
to get things straight with Him; whatever reason He has in mind it is for your
own good. The question still remains the same; are you ready? Sometimes we need
to examine our lives and ask ourselves a sincere question. Ability to answer
well will determine whether we will run the race well or not. No athlete
appears in the field for a race without preparation; the reason why some of
them cry at the end of the race is because what they expected did not happen.
But that will not be you in Jesus name. Something happened to me at the beginning
of last year; after I had set my target for the year 2021 and presented it to
God. He said to me; your fathers Bishop David Oyedepo and Dr. Kenneth Copeland
whenever they set a target they make a plan and see it through to the end. It
was an eye opener; it means that I am missing something and that got me
thinking on what the Bishop has taught us on how to follow and pursue God’s
plan for our lives. What am I trying to say; I know you have a target, have you
made a plan on how to get it done? If yes, are you ready to see it through;
your response to the ready question is what will determine your outcome at the
end of the year. The first step is for you to get it right with God because
your plan without Him is a waste of time. He is the only one that can see you
through your journey because as you are planning your adversary is also
planning on how to frustrate you. 1 Corinthians 16:9(For a great door and
effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversary). It is their
job and delight; your adversary loves great doors; that’s why you need to align
yourself with God in order to overcome them. John 15:5(I am the vine, ye
are the branches: he that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth
much fruit: for without me you can do nothing). You will bear much
fruit this year in Jesus name. Friends, if Jesus is not yet in your boat, the
storm can be disastrous; please get Him in your boat and ride smoothly through
the journey of the year by accepting Him as your Lord and saviour. Whatever you
choose to do at the end it shall speak; my prayer for you is that it shall
speak loud in your favour for all to see and glorify your father in heaven in
Jesus name.
Lord
Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me
my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan
to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I
know I am Born Again, Amen.
