BEFORE YOU CROSSOVER

BEFORE YOU CROSSOVER

Congratulations for reaching this milestone inspite of all the ups and downs in this year, it is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, thank God for His faithfulness and love. However, before you crossover to the New Year considered the following:

Crosscheck your plan – You cannot enter into the New Year with empty heart and expect God to make you a mighty man. Though God may have promised you an entry into the year flowing with milk and honey, without having a container (a business, a job, a goal in mind) , one may become dry bone in the midst of plenty. What is your plan for the New Year? What is your goal? What are you running after? What is your pursuit? Jesus said, “Watch and Pray”. Before you started bombarding God with your prayers during the crossover service and observe plenty days of fasting in the New Year, if there is no aim, you claim nothing.

Crosscheck your past – Will you take a moment today to look into how you spend this old year that is running to an end? Do you achieve your goals? Do you have great or little results? Where did you make mistakes? Who do you mingle with that slow your journey? Remember, the past was once the future you are waiting for. Therefore, critically examining your past to correct what your today.

Crosscheck your relationship with God – Remember God now in the days of your youth, while the evil days come not, when no man can work – Eccl. 12. Before this time, check your relationship with God this year, how did you fair? How many hours do you spend studying the Bible, communicating with God? In this (coming) New Year, let no man show you the God that you serve, know Him personally, desire to have an encounter with Him in the New Year. Let Him take you through the journey of life in order to have a perfect life.

Crosscheck your environment – Environment, location matters in all what one wants to do; an idea is to be taken to a place of appreciation. If you succeed in a location, do improve it and if not, maybe you move. Jesus was in the habit of moving from one location to the other, from Galilee to Samaria, Bethany to Jerusalem and he succeeds; John the Baptist was a man who lived his life in the wilderness and baptized at the Jordan River, yet he was killed.

Crosscheck who you are – You may have a New Year, if there is no New You, the same result(s) await you in the New Year. Have a change of mentality, even when things are looking fine, take a higher risk, improve on yourself. Know who you are, let not your environment change you, change your environment instead. How will you describe yourself? If you are to describe yourself in one minute, whatever you can pen down is not who you are but your limitation. But to God, you are more than what you think. Therefore, think about who you are with God before you enter into the New Year. Great Grace!
