I wanted to write this short post just to wish my readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in advance. I pray that the joy and peace of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ fill your houses and hearts and remain with you into the new year. Wherever you find yourself at the end of 2014, I pray that you are content and may the year ahead be the best one yet. Thank you all for supporting this blog in 2014. I know that school keeps me preoccupied so I do not blog as often as I would want, but I thank everyone who has read anything I've posted online or has been printed in the newspaper Christian Entertainment News. The support and encouragement from people far and near has been overwhelming and I thank God for you all. You are appreciated.
As we look forward to 2015, I want to encourage you all to sit before God in the remainder of this year and ask the Father what He requires from you in 2015 and what He Wills for your life. It is so important not to enter a new year without first hearing from God. This year I remember really needing to hear from God about a certain situation and the Holy Spirit ministered unto me using this verse.
"Then they said, "Ask God whether or not our journey will be successful." -Judges 18:5
This passage showed me the importance asking God about my tomorrow. When you think about it, it is the only logical thing to do. Why would anyone want to miss the opportunity of knowing tomorrow from the One Who WAS, Who IS, and Who IS TO COME? The Creator of ALL things holds ALL things in His hands and knows ALL things. You should ask God not only about where your journey is taking you, but also what things and people you should take on this journey. It is also vital that you ask the Lord to equip you with the resources you will need along the journey. Going to God about your tomorrow is like going to the teacher and asking the teacher what is going to be on the exam that is coming up. Unlike the professors I have in school, God actually will reveal to you what is to come....if you ASK. He desires to let you in on the plans. The Scriptures tell us,
“For the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets"- Amos 3:7
You are the servant of the Most High God and the Holy Spirit is available to us and ready to reveal God's plan but we must take the initiative to start the conversation and seek the face of God. Do not enter 2015 in darkness. Do not enter 2015 confused about the direction God wants to take you. I know it may not be easy but let us start growing in the Spirit. I'm still learning how to sit quietly before God. I say quietly because it's important not to come to God with my plans already set because when I do that, I find that I end up attempting to force God into my will, my plans, and my timeline instead of yielding to His will and approaching His throne as a child who needs direction. I know that God is ready to speak so like Eli said to Samuel, I say to you
"Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, 'Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.''- 1 Samuel 3:9 (a)
The Lord will speak to the issues that are pressing you. He will speak to your anxious heart and give you peace. He will speak and reassure you of His presence. He will speak and do exceeding above all you can ask of think when you are still, ready to listen...in His presence. I will be sober and seeking God's face to end this year too and by God's grace, I will see you all in the new year. Until then, This is my heart's prayer for you and your household.
"The Lord bless you and keep you;
25
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”’
Amen. (Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV)
