What can we say today??? You and me are reading this because we made it…We have “entered” the eleventh month…God did it…he allowed us in….
On the first day of a new month like today; it is a day of great joy but also a day to acknowledge that we have been given yet another chance …
To start afresh by “laying” down a new foundation if what you were “building on” is faulty and “everything” is crumbling….This might mean shutting down a business you have been struggling to “keep” that has put you in debts…
This might also mean “looking” at the people in your “circle”….While you meet and talk; is your time “spent” or “invested”…Is there gain to it!!!
How does your family dynamics looks like!! Is there unity!! What role will you play to bring family together….
What are you going to do to make your life “count”!!! Are you thinking of others…
As you continue thanking God for this opportunity; these verses will be helpful…
Philippians 3:12-14… I don’t mean to say that i have already achieved these things or that i have already reached perfection …So i keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize…
No, dear brothers and sisters, i have not achieved it, but i focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead….I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us….
1 Corinthians 9:25-27a… All athletes are disciplined in their training…They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize…So i run with purpose in every step…i am not just shadowboxing….
I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should…
Even as you plan to “advance”…do “things” in a new way…etc…expect “opposition” …battles aimed at stopping you…You must remain focused and disciplined…Don’t just aim at “winning” only that which is useful and beneficial here on earth; aim at also winning eternal prize …the heavenly prize….
It is a new day….a new month ….Arise and Shine!!!!
