NEW BEGINNINGS


Genesis 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
 John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

It’s time to leave again, time to begin afresh again; sometimes the past builds a bridge to the future. Sometimes we make a clean break. The key is never to forget where you’ve been and what you’ve learnt along the way (it will always come in handy, one way or another). New friends, new environment, new food, new culture, new languages, a reorientation! Isn’t that what we so badly need? A reorientation! We become so adapted to the world and its people (Mr B’s line) and we forget that we are different! We are not of this world.
Rom 12:2  Don't become like the people of this world. Instead, change the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God really wants-what is good, pleasing, and perfect.

Least I digress, I was talking about new beginnings. Some of us are afraid to begin again, some of us are afraid to step out, some of us are too comfortable with the familiar, the known. Oh how we love our comfort zones – small they might be, but we love them all the same. We become soo used to the familiar, we forget that we are meant to be supernatural!
So in this official first blog of mine, where I’m meant to whine about how I find this strange place really strange! How the food is strange! (oh Lord how will i survive on bread only!), where I’m meant to complain about how I almost fell down the escalator, and how I almost missed my train! Almost got into the wrong train! Almost ....
I find myself rather challenging whoever’s reading this blog (it might only be me and D!) NEVER BE AFRAID OF NEW BEGININGS! Don’t hold back! Step out! There’s the world before you! There’s so much of God to explore! His depths are unsearchable and unimaginable! You haven’t even begun to understand half of what He has in store for you! Don’t limit yourself to the present! Don’t limit yourself to your current knowledge! Dig deep, find out more! Discover God, Discover life! Discover truth. Above all, LIVE! Live the life He’s called you to live!
This is another beginning, a new beginning! And I’m not about to mess it up with clutter and baggage from the past. I’ll make good use of the lessons I’ve learnt along the way. But all the unnecessary baggage and clutter get thrown out! I’m LIVING! Leaving you guys behind, I’m off to find destiny and fulfil it!

"And blessed  is  she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord." Luke 1:45 (KJV) "Now therefore, O LORD God, the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house, confirm it forever and do as You have spoken," 2 Samuel 7:25 (NASB) Has the Lord given you a word?  Has it been fulfilled?  Hold on to His word in faith until it is fulfilled.  Give Him praise for fulling his word in your life. Be thankful and bless his name until you see it come to pass.  Mary heard the angel speak to her and he informed her of things to come. She believed, and there was a performance of the words that were spoken. David heard the words of God spoken to him through God's prophet and revealed to him by prophecy. He believed and prayed for its fulfillment.  Many times we receive a word from God, through revelation or through prophecy. What do we do with these words? Let's hold on t...

DIRECTIONS

I've been thinking about the paths that i'm meant to take in the coming months. Decisions, directions; I've been planning and praying. I've tried to explain my decisions to close friends, but some times, they aren't on the same frequency with me. Don't get me wrong, their questions are borne out of genuine care and love; but I know what I've heard, I know what convictions I have, I'm certain about these decisions and I'll follow through with God's leading and stick to the plan. It might not make sense in the immediate, but with God, I trust that he will illuminate the path ahead of me.  And in concurrence with my situation, my devotional couldn't have said it better! STREAMS IN THE DESERT They were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the Word in Asia ( Acts 16:6 ). It is interesting to study the methods of His guidance as it was extended towards these early heralds of the Cross. It consisted largely in prohibitions, when they atte...

Song Alert: Kind - Amanda Cook

"For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." (Psalm 84:11) "The LORD is gracious and merciful; Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness." (Psalm 145:8) NASB "The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy." (Psalm 103:8) "Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth;" (Exodus 34:6) I've been thinking for a few years about doing blog posts on songs that I'm listening to at a particular time; songs that have ministered to me in a particular season and helped me walk through some though times - but it's just been a thought.  Today, I decided to start that first blog post on these songs. For lack of creativity or bursting ingenuity, I'll call these posts 'Song Alert'. So to...
