HAPPY NEW YEAR, friends!!!
As we begin the first week of this new year, its important to make changes in the places that whatever is it that we've been doing it has not work. In case you do not know, GOD MUST be the CENTER of your life, because HE CREATED YOU! And just like we want our children to mind us when we are trying to rule and teach them about life, HE as our heavenly Father, is actively seeking our attention to help us direct our lives according to HIS will. Two things are essential for HIM to be the center, you HAVE to accept that HE IS THE RULER of ALL, and you must desire to be under HIS authority. Because you can know about HIM, but if you do not desire to be ruled by HIM, is not going to work, you'll not mind, in other words, you'll ignore HIM.... that's not good or convenient!
For this you just have to call upon HIS name, ask HIM to forgive you of your sins, because truly NO ONE can forgive sins but HIM. Recognize that HE sent JESUS to die for your sins, and accept the gift of Salvation by allowing HIM to become the Master of your life.
Then for your life to experience a change of order, for us to see things the way GOD sees them, we MUST
determine to start every day not only in prayer but READING HIS WORD! We want HIM to open our eyes to lift a prayer
for the hurting around me; whether is in an ambulance, stranded in side of the
road or those that make the news on TV.
And HE will wake up our senses when we ask HIM, but in order to train
our minds to actively engaging on that focus, we HAVE to READ HIS WORD!!!
In a conversation one person speaks and the other one
listens. When we pray, we are speaking
and GOD IS LISTENING! Then is HIS turn to speak to us! And how do we hear HIM
that visibly we cant see? I’m glad you asked! We READ HIS WORD, that’s a way we
can HEAR HIM SPEAK. Very often I encourage
you to READ THE WORD aloud, because it does make more sense. It’s like hearing God actually speaking to us
because we can hear a voice with a message that will apply very well to our
lives. God knows what we need, and how we need it, so as we read HE will shift
whatever need to be shift inside our mind for us to understand the message HE’s
giving us. But it IS A MUST that we make that daily appointment with HIM.
Therefore, HOW ABOUT A NEW PLAN TO READ our Father’s Word,
The Bible:
·
In 90 Days?
·
Perhaps read it in Chronological order?
·
Or how about read the books of the Bible as they
were written historically, according to the estimated date of their writing?
·
Read through the four Gospels--Matthew, Mark,
Luke, and John--in 40 days?
·
How about a reading plan that walks through the
entire New Testament in 24 weeks of daily readings?
·
Maybe reading through the book of Proverbs every
month of the year?
And these are some of the options that you can get online
(follow the link at the end of this message); but are many other ways to read
our Father’s Word daily, it’s a MUST!!! For a successful life! I’m sharing with
you today this plans because I’ve used many times, and I KNOW as long as we
commit to it, is effective! Just a quick prayer before starting it and GOD will
bless you, for your desire to spend time with HIM, for HE LOVES that!
“This Book of the
Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it
day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with
all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then
you will be successful.” Joshua 1:8Amplified Bible (AMP)
I pray you choose to start this new year, with the
perspective that ONLY GOD can give, and I pray this for the glory of God in
JESUS name, AMEN!
