We are here!!! We woke up!!! As we “wait” at the Gate of the eleventh month; we are not silent…We are singing…We are dancing….We are declaring what we want to “see” in the eleventh month….We are thankful …
We are also remembering what Jesus did for us….the ultimate sacrifice…death on the cross for our sake…And so we are also saying…We can’t go back to the “old” ways of doing things….
We are not just reflecting on how he saved us…but also how he has continued to protect and provide for us….
Psalm18:1,2,3,6,9,13,16… I love you, LORD; you are my strength…The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom i find protection…He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety…
I called on the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and he saved me from my enemies…
In my distress i cried out to the LORD; yes, i prayed to my God for help…He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears…
He opened the heavens and came down; dark storm clouds were beneath his feet…The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded amid the hail and burning coals….
He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters…
Don’t each one of us have a “rescue story”….the one that reminds you that if it were not for the LORD; you will not be “here” today!!!…Don’t these “rescue stories” remind us of God’s unconditional love towards us!!!
Today is a good day…We will rejoice and be glad in it…Besides rejoicing; be a blessing to another by meeting their needs…”Show” mercy and kindness to the those who are “undeserving”…the haters …the gossipers…
Uplift, encourage and “show” the love of God to those who are on the verge of giving up…It is a greater sacrifice and more impactful to “show up” by visiting someone rather than just sending them money or making a call…
How and where are you going to “invest” your time today???
Finally; let this song …”NO TURNING BACK” by Gaise baba & Lawrence Oyor set the “mood” for thankgiving and celebration…It is a good day!!!!
