YOU
MUST READ THIS!
2012 will soon become
history. The question is: Will this history be one that will count positively
in the eternal legacies of your life? 2012 may pass away, but what echoes will
it offer you in the coming year.
We are often encouraged
to forget the past and proceed to the future...BUT, friends, there are some
pasts that if not made right, could be of eternal disadvantages. There are
restitutions you should not forget to make; there are debts that you should
never forget to pay. Time does not heal everything, just a few...BUT, the blood
of Jesus heals everything, including our sins. Please do not wait to reach the
gate of Heaven only to be re-directed to the other side. Should you need to
right some wrongs, pay up some debts, cancel someone’s debts they owe you,
forgive someone, apologize to someone...whatever it is, try to maximize the
remaining hours of the day to put a positive mark on your eternal drive.
Perhaps what you need
to open up the wells of your salvation is not the prayer you will pray this
night, but a forgiveness you will give to someone who had hurt you. Remember
Isaac; he was hurt by the actions of the herdsmen of Gerar because they kept
collecting/claiming his wells he dug. Then he dug another well and they did not
strive for it because there was no water in it (Gen. 26:22). Unforgiveness had
shut up the waters of the wells in Isaac’s life...and it became like a ‘well
without water’ (2 Peter 2:17).
From Genesis 26:26;
Then the people came to make peace with Isaac, but he did not accept initially.
And when Isaac eventually agreed to forgive them for hurting and wronging him,
something happened in his life: “And it came to pass the same day, that
Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged,
and said unto him, We have found water” (Gen. 26:32).
The very day Isaac
forgave and made peace with those people, the well he dug and there was no
water, that same well brought forth water. His story changed from being a well
without water, and thus with joy, he started drawing waters from the wells of
salvation.
It was not prayers that
brought the water, it was forgiveness and peace. “Follow peace with all men, and
holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14). If
you must see the goodness and the glory of God in 2013, you must make peace
first with God, live in holiness, embrace Heaven and escape Hell, prepare for
rapture. You must forgive everyone and live in peace with all.
It is good to be
involved in the “rituals” of today where many pray their lives out for the
coming year...and you will find in church praying those who never went to
church throughout this year...and those who never had God in their thoughts
throughout will join one church tonight for the “rituals” of entering 2013.
But, I tell you the truth, what many need first is peace with God...others need
to forgive others, only then can 2013 yield her increase. Many prayers that
will be offered today will amount to abomination before God and won’t be heard,
because “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the
prayer of the upright is his delight. The LORD is far from the wicked: but he
heareth the prayer of the righteous” (Prov. 15:8, 29).
As we get ready for
2013, it is my prayer and desire that you shall “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
and His righteousness, and every other thing (Miracle, Prosperity, Blessing,
Victory, etc) shall be added onto you” (Matthew 6:33). It is only when
this is done that the year 2013 shall yield her increase.
I wish everyone Happy
New Year in advance!
