Happy New Year World!!!!

          I decided to pause a bit before I started writing. I wanted the whole frenzy of the New Year to subside a little and in deed it has subsided with most people facing the realities of life once again as we strive to make our lives count.

         I sincerely hope that this piece inspires you even more as the year grows.

     2015 wow! In my wildest imagination, I did not think I ever put the year 2015 in mind. It was like thinking too far but here we are counting seconds, minutes, hours and days to God be the glory forever! Amen.

    I often wondered what hinders a man from achieving something he truly desires to get in the previous year or years that have gone by. Of course, there maybe multiple factors surrounding situations but one controllable one is attitude. Have you ever dared to confront your attitude towards yourself, others and life in general? People often have this misconception that God is only concerned with the spiritual aspect and nothing more but this couldn’t be farther from the truth.

    Let’s be imaginative here, imagine you as a seed and God with the responsibility of bringing the best from that seed. We never can tell what physically makes up a seed, all we know is you bury the seed and a plant sprouts sooner or later.

      In God's vineyard, He is even more intricate in the production of His seeds. He has made us good seeds with the capability of bringing forth good and beneficial products. God doesn’t give less than His best, He gives His best. So in each seed lies the power to make the right decisions, do right and productive things, have the right attitude towards life, letting go of harmful behaviors that are self destructive.

       We need to move a step higher and do a proper self examination, an appraisal. It is quite easy to see the faults in others, maybe this time see the faults in yourself for a change and decide to be a better person. Do I live in love? Do I get angry like a ragging bull? Do I procrastinate? Am I that lazy? Do I manage my time well? Did I really have to drop that juicy gist about so and so behind their back? Do I really need to get that bag or shoe or hair extension only to be broke the next hour? After you have self evaluated yourself and seen where you have fallen short ask God to heal you 2nd Peter 1:1-8. I heard a man say "the minute you have someone else to blame for your situation, that’s the moment you became a failure"

    So in this New Year 2015, let each of us do ourselves a big favor and have the right attitude towards God, those around us and ourselves. Peradventure that change maybe in waking up one hour earlier or helping more with house chores or letting go of all the worries and stress. Do the right things at the right time with the right intentions.

    

God bless Us All

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Work!!!
