Calvary Pointers Morning Showers 20 January 2024 Devotional by Reverend Ajisafe Opeyemi - "A FRESH START UP "
A FRESH START UP
Isaiah 40:19 - Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Starting the new year should start with a new you. Letting go your old failures and committing yourself to what lies ahead of you.
A fresh start up should start with these three components:
1. Personal vision. Habakuk 2:1 - "I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved."
You need to watch out and pay extreme attention to what God is saying to you this year. You cannot grow beyond your vision. Envision where God is taking you this year.
2. Strong determination. Have a strong determination like Nehemiah who went against all odds to rebuild the broken wall of Jerusalem. Be prepare to tackle and outsmart any form of obstacles that may try to make you stagger in your pursuit of excellence.
3. Self-worth and self -will. As a matter of fact, package yourself well and build the "I can do it" mentality. Don't allow low self esteem this year. Remember, you're wonderfully and beautifully made.
In this beautiful year, you must learn to:
1. Forgive yourself and forge ahead. Forget about your past failures. Apply the lessons learnt at such times appropriately. Complaining and murmuring about the past and your present won't take you anywhere. Rather, swing into action and do what is needed of a champion.
2. Forgive others and uproot bitterness. Those who have offended you should not be kept at heart. Forgive them and let life goes on. Nursing bitterness against someone could place your blessings on hold. Do the right thing today by letting go that fellow you've imprisoned in your heart.
I believe with the strength of God, you will excel this year in Jesus. Don't forget, START AFRESH. You will get there this year. Isaiah 60:1 - "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee."
Tell yourself, 'it's time to arise from my slumber and shine.'
It is your year of His goodness and mercy.
God bless you!
Good morning.
