Some Awakening As We Approach The New Year

 



“…and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)


Happy new year everyone. May this new year be our best one yet. I pray that we achieve all we genuinely set our hearts upon, In Jesus' Name. 


As we approach this new year, many of us are already planning to carry out the set plans for the year or the “traditional” resolutions, which there is absolutely nothing wrong with. However, beyond goals, plans, and vision, we always keep our bearing right. 


The above verses affirmed that we do not belong to ourselves: we are not ours. Yes, our visions, dreams, and goals are most probably for our benefit but we need to understand that what makes us living beings is more than these things. Our life is like a plane flying from Lagos, Nigeria heading to Florida, US. Yes, we paid for the flight, however, if we do not allow the plane to move in the set bearing by the pilot, we will never make it to Florida. We would keep flying randomly till we are eventually out of aviation fuel. 


The same applies to our lives, we could fly so high with our wisdom and strength, however without the right pilot setting our lives on the right course, we would get frustrated after flying so high but getting nowhere or eventually implode because we are out of aviation fuel


This is no religious or motivational talk: Let's get things real and personal, We need to set things right in our lives. This is an awakening as we approach this lovely new year. Get your bearings right, and get the pilot right on board. 


May God make this year super prosperous for us more than in previous years. Have a great day everyone.
