A NEW BEGINNING

-

Genesis 8:21-22

And the Lord was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will never again destroy all living things.

As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.”


As we go on in life we get the opportunity of starting afresh, a new beginning to help us start again. How we take advantage of it matters.


An Igbo proverb says that the time a man wakes up is his morning. This implies that your starting point may not be the same as your neighbour, however how well you use it will determine how far you will go and how much you accomplish.


Ecclesiastes 3:11

Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.


All is not revealed to us, only the Heavenly Father has the full script of all events and how every man's times goes. He also allows us decide how we go for we are yet given the burden of time. So as each time unfolds the question is if we are ready to move on to the next phase!


The story of Noah continues with a new beginning, he and his family were coming into a new existence, the people in their generation were destroyed because of sin, they had to set the course going forward.


Noah had a good start by sacrificing to the Lord. Appreciation for the opportunity to be preserved to see this new dispensation.


Do you remember to give thanks? It is easy to forget that you have prayed and sought for where you are now from the Lord when He finally takes you to the next stage. Instead, we are quick to begin to ask for the next phase.


Remember that you prayed for where you are now from where you are coming from. Give God praise.


He who did this one will yet do the next. He is faithful.


Someone said, enjoy the journey as you move to the destination!


What is your next phase? Are you making good use of the present one? Are you sure that you are not the one delaying your promotion?


Lord help us move smoothly from one level of greatness to another.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
