TAKE A HOLIDAY – IT’S HEALTHY AND NEEDFUL

TAKE A HOLIDAY – IT’S HEALTHY AND NEEDFUL: YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE TO STOP WORKING – AND TAKE A BREAK!

“The apostles [who had been sent out on a mission] gathered together with Jesus and told Him EVERYTHING that they had DONE and TAUGHT. 31 He said to them, “COME AWAY BY YOURSELVES to a SECLUDED PLACE and REST [LEISURE] a little while”—for THERE WERE MANY [PEOPLE who were CONTINUALLY] COMING and GOING, and they COULD NOT even FIND TIME to EAT. 32 And they WENT AWAY by themselves in the boat to a SECLUDED PLACE” Mark 6:30-32/AMP.

This morning I notice my ISP WiFi was not transmitting fully or very well because most of the in-house and office devices that uses WiFi where not responding as expected. I notice a frozen state indicating that I have to shut the mains down for some couple of minutes and then reset (reboot) the mains and devices again. Lo, behold, each of the devices just retain full strength and back up again, then I remembered that the ISP main hub has been working for a very long time in months without a time or space for rest though it’s a working material or device as designed.

How much more for you and I to see the need to REST and have LEISURE in order to regain a full strength instead of waiting until our body, soul and spirit breaks down as I almost experience few days ago. Hence I can say thanks to God for some good government in governance and employer’s of labour that ensures and assures holidays day as sets by the state and international body are honoured; and as I have equally leant to discipline myself to take a work time break for break and not for anything else irrespective. It helps to rejuvenate, refresh and synergies your wellbeing with wholeness.

Jesus knew how important it means to REST and have LEISURE after a while as He exhort the disciples to do likewise in Mark 6:30-32. Much more, there’s the spiritual rest of your triune-being, which is a consequence of praying in the Spirit as enjoined in the Bible book of Isaiah 28:9-12 and Ephesians 6:18 and Jude 1:20 and 1 Corinthians 14:18-22, 39 respectively; It’s indicated and expressed by the Isaiah scripture especially, the very vitality and importance of spiritual rest; it’s a very refreshing medicine to your wholesome being – spirit, soul and body [1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13].

Therefore, TODAY, THIS DAY, begin to create and take time to rest, have leisure, for many have come and gone working so much hard and HARDWORKING as they claimed and are short-lived in the midst of their time without fulfilling purpose, instead of them working by being smart and SMARTWORKING, in taking time off-work and working overload, knowing and seeing the act of the wisdom of God for their good and goodness, and as a wellbeing medicine that’s needful as Jesus enjoined – to take a get away HOLIDAY in order to EAT, REST and have LEISURE. [Mark 6:30-32].

I pray you will be wise enough to live by the wisdom of God, in taking time to have rest and leisure; and to create opportunities for holidays and to take work time break for holidays and to ensure it in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

YOUR HOLIDAY TIME IS FOR REST AND LEISURE – DO ENSURE IT FOR YOUR GOOD AND HEALTHY LIVING.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“The apostles [who had been sent out on a mission] gathered together with Jesus and told Him EVERYTHING that they had done and taught. 31 He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a SECLUDED PLACE and REST [LEISURE] a little while”—for there were many [people who were CONTINUALLY] COMING and GOING, and they could not even FIND TIME to eat. 32 And they went away by themselves in the boat to a SECLUDED PLACE” Mark 6:30-32 AMPLIFIED.

“Walk in WISDOM toward them that are without, REDEEMING THE TIME” Colossians 4:5.

“. . . 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11 for with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the REST wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:9-12.

” To whom will He TEACH KNOWLEDGE? [Ask the drunkards.] And whom will He make to UNDERSTAND the message? Those who are babies, just weaned from the milk and taken from the breasts? [Is that what He thinks we are?] 10 For it is [His prophets repeating over and over]: precept upon precept, precept upon precept, rule upon rule, rule upon rule; here a little, there a little. 11 No, but [the Lord will TEACH the rebels in a more humiliating way] by men WITH STAMMERING LIPS AND ANOTHER TONGUE will He SPEAK to this people [says Isaiah, and TEACH them His lessons]. 12 To these [complaining Jews the Lord] had said, This is the TRUE REST [the way to TRUE COMFORT AND HAPPINESS] that you shall GIVE TO THE WEARY, and, This is the [true] REFRESHING—yet they would not listen [to His teaching].” Isaiah 28:9-12/AMP Classic Edition.

“But you, beloved, BUILD YOURSELVES UP [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], PRAYING IN THE HOLY SPIRIT; 21 Guard and keep yourselves in the love of God; expect and patiently wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)—[which will bring you] unto life eternal” Jude 1:20/AMP Classic Edition.

“I thank my God, I SPEAK WITH TONGUES more than ye all: 19 yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an UNKNOWN TONGUE. 20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 21 In the law it is written, With men of OTHER TONGUES and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. 22 Wherefore TONGUES are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe . . . 39 Wherefore, brethren, COVET to prophesy, and FORBID NOT to SPEAK WITH TONGUES” 1 Corinthians 14:18-22, 39.

“PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication IN THE SPIRIT, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” Ephesians 6:18.

“And the very God of peace sanctify you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

“But by the GRACE of God I am what I am: and his GRACE which was BESTOWED upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the GRACE of God which was WITH me” 1 Corinthians 15:10.

“And WHEN THEY HAD PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they spake THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

There’s enabling GRACE accompany with God’s POWER to do exploit for you, in doing life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead; and now for YEAR 2024, same enabling GRACE accompany with God’s POWER in Christ Jesus is readily available for you and should be your PRIMARY and PURPOSEFUL stand to usher in the New dawning YEAR come 2024. It thus mean, that your utmost urgency now is for you to set out a special moment, to be WITH the LORD – to be in His PRESENCE – wherein you will be engrossed with Him to release you with His enabling GRACE and POWER, in order to ACHIEVE, SUCCEED and be FULFILLED with MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

Our Lord JESUS CHRIST, knows what it means to abound in the PRESENCE of our Father God in order to do life in His humanity in the earthly affairs for the cause of the kingdom. He ensures that all His doings are as LED by Holy Spirit and Father God is in the know, in every step to ensure the POWER to function was there in fulfilling His cause and purpose of God for humanity.

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness . . .14 And Jesus returned in the POWER of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being GLORIFIED of all . . . 22 And all BARE HIM WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 1-22.

“And in the morning, RISING up a great WHILE before day, he (Jesus) went out, and departed into a SOLITARY place, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to PRAY. 29 And AS HE PRAYED, the FASHION of his COUNTENANCE was ALTERED, and his RAIMENT was WHITE and GLISTERING” Luke 9:28-29.

Beloved friend, you don’t need to be in a rush to enter YEAR 2024 and to start marking unfounded NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS and  PRONOUNCEMENTS that you can’t even keep beyond few days or weeks or months afterwards because they are not SCRIPTURALLY based. For these reasons, herein are some matters to consider carefully to curb these unnecessary ARTIFICIAL display that makes no impart and impact to your well-being in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

FIRSTLY, It’s a high time you need to take STOCK and INVENTORY of your life in YEAR 2023 that’s about ending, before taking on YEAR 2024. This you do in these wise as an example:

** All those your SELF-WILLED man-made and make-believe POWER of rushing your hours into your day before its dawn, has it it made any difference in you without stress and anxiety 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 and pride in disguise, but you just called it FASTING to make it seem spiritual?

** Have you not wonder that God wants you to LIVE, THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL and meaningfully FULFILLED? And He doesn’t want you to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL? He does wants you to live in LEISURE and PLEASURE through His grace and power, and not in PRESSURE or STRESS?

** And God is about DILIGENCE in all sphere of doing life and living godly? And it’s not about just HARD WORK instead about SMART WORK through innovating exploring creating and initiating? And there’s the need to be PRINCIPLED in taking responsibility and accountability for your cause without blaming someone else?

** You need to ask yourself if the claimed you put in so much effort each day, and yet doesn’t add up, if it does make life WORTH LIVING after all? or you need to change your course into YEAR 2024 of needing God’s GRACE and POWER for His BLESSEDNESS?

SECONDLY, this is my take on you because I can’t help not seeing you LIVE, THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL in God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS; more so, not wanting to see you SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL as some have acclaimed to be their terms of living;  also, to help you to know full well, that from your first primary call to SALVATION in Christ Jesus, you are being EMPOWERED to succeed and triumph, especially as such a time as this with YEAR 2023 closing down and YEAR 2024 starting up.

Know full well that your TIME to have a set out COMMUNION moment is now with the LORD. This is in order to receive what it TAKES to make LIFE WORTH LIVING instead of DOING nothing and just WATCHING aimlessly and armless into the dawning YEAR 2024.

All I am saying is that it’s a good time NOT to start asking or making demands as some are consumed about, but to just be in the presence of Father God in the name of Jesus – ONLY and SOLELY – there MINISTERING to Him and Enjoying His presence. It is within this act that Father God can EMPOWER you and SEND you FORTH into YEAR 2023 uniquely with His GRACE, POWER, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. This will enable you to DO all your LIFE and GRACE endeavours and biddings, without fail, stress and sweat.

I wants to let you know that by God’s grace and power, you’ll live in REST and LEISURE, that is – stress free, sweat free, pressure and worry free, as you are SENT of God’s PRESENCE into YEAR 2024 rather than when you are a mere WISHY-WASHY GOER on self designed and proclaim ambitions outside God in His Christ Jesus. You need to DERIVE strenght from the Lord and in the power of His might to make life a LIVING WORTH.

I sincerely beg you of the need to learn and apply this SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLE to all you do in life:

** You are saved and called PRIMARILY and PURPOSEFULLY to be with Father God in Christ Jesus; it’s therein He EMPOWERS you to SUCCEED and be FULFILLED in life. This is what and how Jesus Christ did life in grace with Father God in humanity and has left us as example for us to learn of Him towards the Father God. Amen.

This means in Summary that:

** We ARE SAVED and CALLED – To Be With Him.

** We ARE then EMPOWERED – To Thrive, Succeed and be Fulfilled by God’s Speed.

** We are then ENDOWED with Grace, Wisdom And Speed – to makes all the DIFFERENCE with God.

** We have the RESULTANT effects with Rest, Leisure And Pleasure in Christ Jesus – just as we are PROMISED and the not Stress, worry (anxiety), pressure people experience while they walk in their own effort to make things happen.

IT’S STOCK-TAKING MOMENT – TAKE TIME TO CHILL

By Leave a Comment

IT’S STOCK-TAKING MOMENT – TAKE TIME TO CHILL: FOR LEISURE IS GOD’S AND IT’S GODLY TOO!

EBENEZER: Hitherto Has The Lord God HELPED Us – 1 Samuel 7:12.

LEISURE and REST are good after labour – a diligent work; and labour is the physical and mental exertion of man to earn a gracious reward – in cash and or kind. And one good, gracious and graceful reward of labour – after a DILIGENT workloads in the year – is by taking a time out to have a relaxing and leisure moment, outside your norm, especially with your BELOVED, among your CHERISHED friends – just to eat, drink and laugh.

“And the apostles GATHERED themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had DONE, and what they had TAUGHT. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and REST A WHILE: for there were many coming and going, and they had no LEISURE so much as to EAT” Mark 6:30-31.

“Go thy way, EAT thy bread with JOY, and DRINK thy wine with a MERRY heart; for God now ACCEPTETH thy works . . . 9 Live JOYFULLY with the wife whom thou LOVEST ALL THE DAYS OF THE LIFE of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, ALL THE DAYS of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun” Ecclesiastes 9:7, 9.

The essence of STOCK-TAKING MOMENT and TAKING TIME TO CHILL is to have REST and LEISURE as it’s of GOD’S will and it’s GODLY too. For in reality:

WE LIVE TO EAT AND NOT EAT TO LIVE – FOR LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING. THEREFORE, THINK.

It’s a gracious and graceful time to EAT, LAUGH, REFLECT, TAKE STOCK and BELIEVE again for the Days, Weeks, Months and Years ahead. God REWARDS DILIGENCE; and they that are DILIGENT will have a STAND in the MIDST and PLACE of kings – noble,  honour and dignity. Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 11:6.

And most importantly, STOCK TAKING is a time to review and assess one’s situation and options; and to count, account and share the enabling that will synergise you in PURPOSE; such that you can THRIVE MEANINGFULLY and in FULFILMENT; and to move FORWARD –  ONWARDS and UPWARDS – in LIFE and GRACE, and in the abounding love of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY); he shall not STAND before mean (OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“And the apostles GATHERED themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had DONE, and what they had TAUGHT. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and REST A WHILE: for there were many coming and going, and they had no LEISURE so much as to EAT” Mark 6:30-31.

“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.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he RESTED on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had RESTED from all his work which God created and made” Genesis 2:1-2.

“Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to EAT and to DRINK, and to ENJOY the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion” Ecclesiastes 5:18.

“There is nothing better for a man, than that he should EAT and DRINK, and that he should make his soul ENJOY good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God” Ecclesiastes 2:24.

“I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to REJOICE, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should EAT and DRINK, and ENJOY the good of all his labour, it is the GIFT of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him” Ecclesiastes 3:12-14.

“Then I commended MIRTH, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to EAT, and to DRINK, and to be MERRY: for that shall abide with him of his LABOUR the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun” Ecclesiastes 8:15.

“Go thy way, EAT thy bread with JOY, and DRINK thy wine with a MERRY heart; for God now ACCEPTETH thy works. 8 Let thy GARMENTS be always WHITE; and let thy HEAD lack no OINTMENT. 9 Live JOYFULLY with the wife whom thou LOVEST all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest” Ecclesiastes 9:7-10.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to HIS PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

STOCK TAKING – TAKE TIME TO CHILL

By Leave a Comment

STOCK TAKING – TAKE TIME TO CHILL: LEISURE IS GOD’S AND IT’S GODLY!

EBENEZER: Hitherto Has The Lord God HELPED Us – 1 Samuel 7:12.

LEISURE and REST are good after labour – diligent work; and labour is the physical and mental exertion of man to earn a gracious reward – cash and or kind. And one good, gracious and graceful reward of labour – after a DILIGENT workloads in the year – is by taking a time out to have a relaxing leisure outside your norm, especially with your BELOVED, among your CHERISHED friends – just to eat, drink and laugh. Mark 6:3031; Ecclesiastes 9:7, 9.

WE LIVE TO EAT AND NOT EAT TO LIVE – FOR LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING. THEREFORE, THINK.

It’s a gracious and graceful time to EAT, LAUGH, REFLECT, TAKE STOCK and BELIEVE again for the Days, Weeks, Months and Years ahead. God REWARDS DILIGENCE; and they that are DILIGENT will have a STAND in the MIDST and PLACE of kings – noble,  honour and dignity. Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 11:6.

And most importantly, STOCK TAKING is a time to review and assess one’s situation and options; and to count, account and share the enabling that will synergise you in PURPOSE; such that you can THRIVE MEANINGFULLY and in FULFILMENT; and to move FORWARD –  ONWARDS and UPWARDS – in LIFE and GRACE, and in the abounding love of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business?he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY); he shall not STAND before mean (OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“And the apostles GATHERED themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had DONE, and what they had TAUGHT. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and REST A WHILE: for there were many coming and going, and they had no LEISURE so much as to EAT” Mark 6:30-31.

“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.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he RESTED on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had RESTED from all his work which God created and made” Genesis 2:1-2.

“Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to EAT and to DRINK, and to ENJOY the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion” Ecclesiastes 5:18.

“There is nothing better for a man, than that he should EAT and DRINK, and that he should make his soul ENJOY good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God” Ecclesiastes 2:24.

“I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to REJOICE, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should EAT and DRINK, and ENJOY the good of all his labour, it is the GIFT of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him” Ecclesiastes 3:12-14.

“Then I commended MIRTH, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to EAT, and to DRINK, and to be MERRY: for that shall abide with him of his LABOUR the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun” Ecclesiastes 8:15.

“Go thy way, EAT thy bread with JOY, and DRINK thy wine with a MERRY heart; for God now ACCEPTETH thy works. 8 Let thy GARMENTS be always WHITE; and let thy HEAD lack no OINTMENT. 9 Live JOYFULLY with the wife whom thou LOVEST all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest” Ecclesiastes 9:7-10.

ENABLING GRACE FOR YEAR 2022

By Leave a Comment

ENABLING GRACE FOR YEAR 2022: ENSURING GOD’S GRACE IS YOUR PRIMARY AND PURPOSEFUL CALL TO DO LIFE AND LIVE GODLY!

The enabling GRACE for you to do life and live godly in YEAR 2022, should be your PRIMARY and PURPOSEFUL call to usher in the New dawning YEAR 2022. Meaning, that your utmost urgency now is for you set out a special moment, to be WITH the LORD, be in His PRESENCE, wherein you will be EMPOWERED in Him, in order to ACHIEVE, SUCCEED and be FULFILLED with His GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED.

“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 (Jesus) went out, and departed into a SOLITARY place, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to PRAY. 29 And AS HE PRAYED, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering” Luke 9:28-29.

Beloved friend, you don’t need to be in a rush to enter YEAR 2022 and start marking unfounded NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS and PRONOUNCEMENTS that you can’t even keep beyond few days or weeks or months afterwards. For these reasons, herein are some matters to consider carefully to curb this unnecessary ARTIFICIAL display that makes no impart and impact to your well-being in Christ Jesus stead.

FIRSTLY, It’s a high time you need to take STOCK and INVENTORY of your life in YEAR 2021 that’s about ending, before taking on YEAR 2022. This you do in these wise as an example:

** All those your SELF-WILLED power of rushing your 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 and pride in disguise, but you just called it FASTING to make it seem spiritual?

** Have you not wonder that God wants you to LIVE, THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL? And He doesn’t want you to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL? He does wants you to live in LEISURE and PLEASURE, and not in PRESSURE or STRESS? And taking this note especially – of all the HARD WORK instead of SMART WORK you claimed to put in each day, does it make life WORTH LIVING after all?

SECONDLY, this is my take on you because I can’t help not seeing you LIVE, THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL in God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS; more so, instead of seeing you SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL as some have acclaimed to be their terms of living;  also, by helping you to know full well, that from your first primary call to SALVATION in Christ Jesus, you can be EMPOWERED to succeed and triumph, especially as such a time as this with YEAR 2021 closing down and YEAR 2022 starting up.

It’s your TIME to have a set out COMMUNION moment with the LORD in order to receive what it TAKES to make LIFE WORTH LIVING instead of DOING nothing and just WATCHING the day or YEAR 2021 go bye into YEAR 2022 new start.

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 and SOLELY MINISTERING to Him and Enjoying His presence. It is within this act that Father God can EMPOWER you and SEND you FORTH into YEAR 2022 with His GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. This will enable you to DO all your LIFE and GRACE endeavours and bidding without fail, stress and sweat.

I want to promise you, you’ll live in REST and LEISURE, that is – stress free, sweat free, pressure and worry free, as you are SENT from God’s PRESENCE than when you are a mere WISHY-WASHY GOER on self-designed and proclaim ambitions outside God in His Christ Jesus. You need to DERIVE strength from the Lord and in the power of His might to make life a LIVING WORTH.

I sincerely beg you of the need to learn and apply this SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLE to all you do in life:

** You are saved and called PRIMARILY and PURPOSEFULLY to be with Father God in Christ Jesus; it’s therein He EMPOWERS you to SUCCEED and be FULFILLED in life.

This is what and how Jesus Christ did life in grace with Father God in humanity and has left us as example for us to learn of Him towards the Father God. Amen.

In Summary – We are

** We are SAVED and CALLED – To Be With Him!

** We are then EMPOWERED – To Thrive, Succeed and be Fulfilled by God’s Speed

** We are then ENDOWED with Grace, Wisdom And Speed – to makes all the DIFFERENCE with God

** We have the RESULTANT effects with Rest, Leisure And Pleasure in Christ Jesus – just as we are PROMISED and not Stress, worry (anxiety), Pressure in walking in our own efforts.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
