A FRESH START
"BEHOLD, I WILL DO A NEW THING, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert."
Isaiah 43:19 (NKJV)
• If there is a need to stop what you are doing and start all over again, I will enjoin or admonish you to do it.
- God can stop a thing and start afresh or all over again (Exodus 32:10; Numbers 14:12).
- If God started a thing and is not going the way He wanted it, or the thing you are instructed to do is not being done the way He had projected it; He would not hesitate to stop or scatter it and start afresh or all over again (Genesis 6:7,8; 9:1).
- If what you are doing is dragging and had become a burden, you might need to consider stopping It and get back to God in order to know or receive a clear mandate or instruction from Him.
- Consider this, think of having a time to mend your net. It will make it easier for you in getting better results because being able to catch more fish requires the mending, thus, you would need to pay attention to your net (Matthew 4:21).
- To avoid toiling and dissipation of energy, you have to do the needful—put things in order to be able to produce maximally.
• Consequently, If you are being nudged or urged to make a U turn or stop and start all over again or afresh, on whatever you are doing; please do not hesitate to do that.
- God can stop or permit to be scattered or destroyed, in order to start afresh again; especially If what He projected is not materializing or becoming a reality.
- If what God saw before starting a thing is not transpiring, He would have no choice or option than to stop and start afresh or all over again.
- What God had in mind is what He gave as a vision to whoever He wanted to use for a particular Assignment: " . . . JUST AS MOSES WAS WARNED BY GOD WHEN HE WAS ABOUT TO ERECT THE TABERNACLE; FOR, “SEE,” HE SAYS, “THAT YOU MAKE ALL THINGS ACCORDING TO THE PATTERN WHICH WAS SHOWN YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN” (Hebrews 8:5 — New American Standard Bible).
- If the person assigned started and still not building according to what God had in mind before assigning the person, He would not hesitate to stop the person, him or her, and the work. God usually does such a thing that the sent one or the assignee might come back to Him and receive a clear direction.
• Whatever is called a vision was primarily a burden in God's mind, before He conveyed it to whoever; a person, a believer, who shares His view on it.
- To the person given the assignment, It was a vision, but initially, It was a burden in God's heart or mind.
- If whatever someone is building does not correlate or agree or sync with what God had in mind before given the vision to the person, the believer, such a person and the work would be stopped and called to order, and be redirected to the right path.
- This changing of a course or direction is usually challenging—a difficult phase in the life of a minister whom God is demanding to do it. Some who could not get it right are out of the ministry work completely because of it.
- In addition, do not be afraid of starting all over again. It is better to be on the right path, having God walking with you, than to be on a wrong path where you are on your own, without God's backing.
- It takes humility or meekness to accept that you are wrong, that you have not been on the right path; but If you did accept your mistake and cooperate with God to direct and lead in the right path, the latter end would be great and glorious and would be fulfilling: "HE LEADS HUMBLE PEOPLE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT, AND HE TEACHES THEM HIS WAY" (Psalm 25:9 GOD’S WORD Translation).
• You will not fail in Jesus' name.
- Should there be any ailment in your body, I declare your healing now, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
- Whatever is not planted by God, working against your health, is rooted out completely in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Peace!
STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. Ask that He will write your name in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).
- If you took the steps As highlighted above, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
