NOW…
NOW…
As the New Year has kicked off, I wanted to seek God on how to come forth with the FAMILY! We’re known to see on social media and in conversations about, “NEW! NEW! NEW!” That tends to go out the window by the 2nd week, right along with the New Year’s resolutions everyone tends to makes!
What if it’s not about the new, but about being obedient to what God has told you to do last year! What if you haven’t even walked into the new because you’re still full of your old self? As Pastor stated in his message, “It’s not a New Year, until it’s a NEW YOU!”
The work MUST begin on the inside! YES, on the outside we can make everything, and I mean everything, seem appeasing and fresh! But it’s the internal thermostat of our heart, mind, and soul that determines the foundation of us as being NEW!
What are we doing NOW to invest in our NEW? We’ve given our lives to Christ! We’ve been dipped in the Blood and in the Water for Baptism, but what are we doing and what have we been doing to have the freshness of Christ dwelling within us even NOW?
What changes are we implementing? How are we aligning ourselves in submission to Christ?
I recently started an intensive course called, “Do The Work,” and YAWL! I wasn’t ready! It’s tough! I made the decision last year to dive head first into investing in my natural and spiritual man! It’s a must! So this course is gutting it all out of me and it’s only day 4! Whew Jesus! Investing in me is a must because if I don’t, I know what habits will rise back up that I can give attention too, that aren’t conducive to my growth! I also know what strongholds are peeping its ugly head around the corner, ready to take hold of me again!
God has already spoken to me about the posture I am to take for the first 90 days of this year! There was no surprise when my flesh wanted to do what it wanted to do and put things off until a later time!
Instantly I knew what I wanted to share with us all! We tend to have this entitled attitude of thinking that we can come back to something later or that we can wait another day before we get to it! This type of thinking, I have found to be very DANGEROUS to my life!
What if there is no tomorrow? What if what we are required to do TODAY, has an expiration date of 11:59pm? What if someone’s life is depending on what you do NOW, instead of TOMORROW? We put off for tomorrow thinking that we control and rule our own lives!
God’s Word in Isaiah 46:10 states that ONLY God can tell the future before it even happens! Everything He has plans for will come to pass. He says He can do whatever He wishes!
Not moving when we’ve been instructed by God is Disobedience and detrimental to our lives!
We have so much pride when we believe and operate as if we know the full dynamics of how much time we have to contemplate on deciding when we will do something. Whew Jesus!
We put faith in ourselves and the world’s ways of maintaining when we are but vessels and made from dirt to fulfill God’s Kingdom Agenda! We leave God out of every equation, then expect Him to be okay with the decisions that we make! Better YET, we have the AUDACITY (Pastor’s Voice50 20 20 20 20 Recent
