PREVAILING VOICE DAILY.
2nd October, 2024.
Topic: EXPERIENCING NEWNESS.
Text: Philippians 3;13,14.13: Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14: I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Many people think God is responsible for all that happens to them, it’s really not so. In the affairs of a man’s life, his input is needed for things that happen to him. For instance God is not responsible for a man’s ignorance.
Man is expected to seek adequate knowledge for his well being, prosperity and eternity. It takes consciousness to make significant progress.
Permit me to come out this way; not all occurrences are acts of God, most times, they are man made.
One will remain static until he or she takes necessary steps to move forward. From our scriptural text, Apostle Paul discussed steps to move forward, though his emphasis was on his walk and relationship with God. The same principle applies in others areas of life.
The first point he made is ‘ forgetting those things that are behind ‘, this is the reason many people don’t move forward: holding on to past failures, past successes, past breakthroughs, dwelling in past glory, still applying old methods, still associating with people they ought to have discarded out of their lives.
Many people are still dwelling in yesteryears because they still apply old methods in the affairs of their lives. It is like sending letters through post office while you can simply send an email.
My mum always prepare for every new year by discarding old wears, old utensils, things that are no longer relevant two weeks into every new year. You will hear her say, ‘ this one must not follow me to the year ‘. We must discard somethings if we must experience newness, bad lifestyles, reckless spendings, negative attitudes, bad friends, bad relationships, bad habits, memories of negative experiences, hurts, hatred, bitterness, grief, strife, memories of failures, past glories, memories of successes.
The best athlete keeps his position only if he keeps improving himself than others. You can’t keep to old methods and expect new experience, your methods, approaches, your strategies determine your experience. Wrong package attract wrong audience, everyone is attracted to new things, old method bores everyone. If you must command new experience you must apply new methods.
It will shock you to know that God himself can’t cope with old midset, how do I know? Isaiah 43:18 Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old.
19: Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Why was God telling his people to forget the formal things? Why can’t he just do the new thing without informing them? The reason is because their old mindset will not allow for new experience. Discard the old and embrace the new, discard a bad lifestyle, discard a bad eating habit, discard ungodly things and lifestyle, God is set to launch you to a new realm. God bless you.
PRAYER.
* Lord, I am set for new glorious experience.
* Launch me to new realm in Jesus name.
