What if I told you that the results you get in 2024 depend on you?
What if I told you that the results you get in 2024 depend on you?
This time last year, I had some imaginations on how I would want to end 2023. I took note of them all and made them my prayers, took some steps towards them, and spoke about them as often as I could to those around me. Some of which sounded impossible to me, but I know that nothing is impossible with God.
2023 came with all its challenges. In some moments, I forgot about some of my plans because some issues were so engaging, and even in the moment when I had to take steps or make decisions towards one of my biggest desires for the year, I froze, and in a moment, fear came in and all kinds of thoughts from the devil of what could possibly go wrong. I thank God for the great community and people who stood by me in faith, encouraged me, and especially for the Holy Spirit, who held my hands in those moments and brought to pass God's counsel for my life.
In retrospect, I really spent time thanking God for bringing what was just my imagination to reality. I began to see some of the principles in God's Word that I had practiced. I will like to share some of them with you as we prepare again for another season.
The first principle I want to talk about is the principle of meditation. As we end the year with Thanksgiving and an inquiry for instructions for the next season, one way God begins to answer us is by planting thoughts in our minds. We begin to see the possibilities of a better year, and sometimes we begin to see with the eyes of our imaginations some things that may look impossible.
I want to challenge you to dare to believe in God. I dare to believe God last year, and even as the year ends, one of my favourite responses to the desires and thoughts the Holy Spirit is putting in my heart is, "Lord, I believe, I believe for it.”
I lifted those words from Minister Cece's song, Believe For It!
Faith is such a powerful force, and we can only receive from God to the level in which we have faith in his person and will for our lives.
I know the world is going through a lot and many predictions on how the economies of the nations are crumbling. Laws are changing rapidly, and it is almost like everyone is in survival mode, but you must reject survival and decide to live life on God's terms. Anyone who barely survives would not have the time to think about exploits.
Yes, the world is crumbling, but for us as believers, God's light is shining on us all the more. It is historically proven that the children of God prosper in famine.
This season requires faith for the impossible.
I don’t want you to despise the plans that God is placing in your heart for the next season because they look too hard, difficult, too much, or maybe, by all reasonable standards, impossible. Dare to believe God; don’t limit what God wants to do in your life by walking in fear.
Yes,there are challenges today, and there will definitely be challenges in 2024, but see God accomplish his word in your life.
The journey isn’t always linear, like I shared with you; there were times I couldn’t hold on, but God held me by his mercies, but at the end of this year, I got to learn that I received only as much as I was able to believe for this year.
Place no limits on what God will do in your life in 2024; only trust and obey.
I pray that the remaining days of 2023 will be filled with testimonies and praise.
Say with me today “ Lord I believe you for more, do the impossible in and with my life”
