I woke up yesterday with this song below:
Count your Blessings, name one by one,
Count your Blessings, see what God has done,
Count your Blessings, name one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done. (Repeat as many times possible)
I know at this time of the year, many people including Christians begins to look back into the year to see how far they have GONE and DONE. True!
Now, while,
1. Some are grateful enough to be grateful to GOD for how far they have gone and done despite that they did not achieve all their expectations. Good!
2. Some are not grateful enough to be grateful to GOD for how far they have gone and done because they did not achieve all their expectations. Bad!
But the Spirit of God is calling all genuine Children of God at this time of the year to start COUNTING their BLESSINGS and NAMING them one by one TO SEE WHAT GOD their loving and caring Father has done for them in the past months of the year. (1 Peter 5:6-10).
Will you be grateful at the end of your count?
Now know and note that:
1. Whatsoever you do not BECOME in 2018 is not the Will of God in Christ for you for the year. True! Take note, take heed!
2. Whatsoever you do not ACHIEVE in 2018 is not the Will of God in Christ for you for the year. True! Take note, take heed!
How do I know that because the Bible says that:
In EVERY THING GIVE THANKS: for this is the WILL OF GOD in Christ Jesus concerning you. (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
This is because the Lord will always make His Will to come to pass for you because He is FAITHFUL and ABLE as long as you are COMMITTED to His Word, Will and Way in Christ for you par time par your situation throughout the year. True!
Therefore, if you missed any of His Will during past Nine (9) months of the year, it is not because God is not faithful, but because you are not committed enough to KNOW and DO His Word, Will and Way in Christ for you par time par your situation when you missed His Will. True! (Romans 12:1,2; 1 John 5:14,15).
However, the Bible admonish us to GIVE THANKS TO GOD IN EVERY THING because God can still make the opportunities we missed to show up even in a better form to compensate our lost opportunities. True! (Romans 8:28-39; 1 Peter 5:6-10).
So, DON'T GIVE UP on God and yourself because BETTER DAYS AHEAD. Rather, it is time to COUNT your BLESSINGS for the year (not your disappointments), NAME them ONE BY ONE to SEE what the Lord has mercifully and graciously done for you. True!
Don't be deceived by the Devil because there will always be something to be THANKFUL TO GOD FOR if you look very well. Yes, there will starting from the fact that you are STILL ALIVE among the living and not among the dead. And because you are still joined to the living by God, there is still HOPE for you in Christ. Halleluyah!
The Bible says that:
For to him that is JOINED TO ALL THE LIVING THERE IS HOPE: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God now accepts your works. Let your garments be always white; and let your head lack no ointment. LIVE JOYFULLY with the wife whom you love all the days of the life of your vanity, which He had given you under the sun, all the days of your vanity: for that is your portion in this life, and in your labour which you takes under the sun. WHATSOEVER YOUR HAND FINDS TO DO, DO IT WITH YOUR MIGHT; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither you goes. I returned, and saw under the sun, that THE RACE is not to THE SWIFT, nor THE BATTLE to THE STRONG, neither yet BREAD to THE WISE, nor yet RICHES to MEN OF UNDERSTANDING, nor yet FAVOUR to MEN OF SKILL; but TIME and CHANCE happens to them all. (Ecclesiastes 9:4-11; Colossians 1:27).
That you have gone and done this far is by the MERCY and GRACE of God. It is because of His Mercy and Grave you are not consumed by the wickedness of Satan, demons and men. Take note, take heed because your better days ahead of you and not behind you. True! (Lamentation 3:22-25; 1 John 5:18-21; Ephesians 5:15-18).
Welcome to the week of I THANK GOD I AM STILL ALIVE and ALERT. Halleluyah!
God bless you.
