ENTERING YEAR 2018: Your FIRST Primary Call – Is To Be With The LORD – Then Empowered To Succeed With GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE & SPEED!
Beloved friend, you don’t need to be in a rush to enter Year 2018 and start marking unfounded New Year RESOLUTIONS and PRONOUNCEMENTS that you can’t keep beyond few days or weeks or months afterwards.
FIRSTLY, It’s a high time you need to take STOCK and INVENTORY of your life in year2017 that’s about ending, before taking on Year 2018 in these wise as an example:
*All those your self-willed power of rushing hours into your day before its dawn, has it made any difference in you without stress instead of God’s promised rest?
*Those your lengthy days of unending fasting to prove how spiritual you are, has it made any remarkable difference in you? Or was it a statuesque to keep though its a hunger strike, but you just called it fasting to make it seem spiritual?
* Have you not wonder that God wants you to THRIVE, BLOSSOM and COLOURFUL? and not to SURVIVE or SURVIVAL?; to live in LEISURE and PLEASURE, and not in PRESSURE or STRESS? especially with all the HARDWORK you claimed to put in each day instead of living on the SMARTWORK end of life with God.
SECONDLY, this is my take on you because I can’t help not to see you THRIVE, BLOSSOM and COLOURFUL instead of SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL as some have acclaimed; also, knowing that from your first primary call, you can be EMPOWERED to succeed and triumph, especially as such a time as this – Year 2017 closure.
It’s your TIME To Be With The LORD to receive what it TAKES to make LIFE WORTH LIVING instead of DOING Nothing and just watch the day or year 2017 go bye into year 2018. All I am saying is that it’s a good time NOT to start asking or making demands, but to just be with Father God in the name of Jesus – by ONLY MINISTERING to Him – and Enjoying His presence. It is in this act THEN He can EMPOWER you and SEND you forth into year 2018 with His GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE and SPEED to DO all your life endeavours without fail.
I want to promise you, you’ll live in REST and LEISURE, that is – stress free, pressure and worry free, as you are SENT from His presence than when you are a mere wishy-washy GOER on self designed and proclaim ambitions.
I sincerely beg you of the need to learn and apply this scriptural principle to all you do in life: You are called or saved FIRSTLY to be with Father God, therein He EMPOWERS you to SUCCEED and be FULFILLED in life.
This is what Jesus did in humanity and left us as example to learn of Him towards the Father God.
“And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. 14 And he ordained twelve, THAT THEY SHOULD BE WITH HIM, and that he might SEND them forth to preach, 15 and to have POWER to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils” (Mark 3:13-15).
“Thou wilt shew me the PATH of LIFE: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalms 16:11).
“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed” (Mark 1:35).
“There remaineth therefore a REST to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief” (Hebrews 4:9-11)
Firstly Called, – To Be With Him! #SecondlyEmpowered, – To Thrive, Succeed In God’s Speed
Grace And Speed – Makes All The Difference With God
Rest And Pleasure – We Are Promised, not Stress And Pressure (Isaiah 28:9-13).
