ENTERING YEAR2020: Your FIRST Primary Call – Is To Be With The LORD – Then Be Empowered To Succeed With GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM And SPEED!
Beloved friend, you don’t need to be in a rush to enter Year2020 and start marking unfounded New Year RESOLUTIONS and PRONOUNCEMENTS that you can’t even 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 YEAR2019 that’s about ending, before taking on YEAR2020 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 be COLOURFUL? And not to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL? And to live in LEISURE and PLEASURE, and not in PRESSURE or STRESS? And noting especially all the HARDWORK instead of SMARTWORK you claimed to put in each day to make life WORTH LIVING?
SECONDLY, this is my take on you because I can’t help not to see you THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL instead of SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL as some have acclaimed to be their terms of living; also, my knowing 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 – YEAR2019 closure into YEAR2020 start up.
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 YEAR2019 go bye into YEAR 2020 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 MINISTERING to Him firstly – and Enjoying His presence. It is in this act THEN He can EMPOWER you and SEND you forth into YEAR2020 with His GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED. This will enable you to DO all your LIFE and GRACE endeavours without fail, stress and sweat.
I wants 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. 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 called or saved FIRSTLY to be with Father God in Christ Jesus, 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.
