It’s a new year, make it awesome!

By God’s hand, 2012 has left the Calendar and 2013 is here... Happy New Year family! I’m glad we made it to 2013 and it is my prayer that 2013 will count for good in our lives.

Stop and think about this for a second! I don’t know about you, but about this time last year, my life was totally different. But for the grace and mercies of God I couldn’t have imagined that I would be where I am today. God keeps blowing me away with His goodness.

One question I will like us to ask ourselves is; what am I going to do with my life this year? 2013 is here and however the year turns out largely depends on us.  The year can be a good year or a bad year. It’s all depending on us.

The question is not; will my life work this year? The question is, will you work hard at your life and make it count for something? A lot of people are already proclaiming that the year to be this and that and making different resolutions.

Well, the fact that it’s a new year doesn’t mean that things will work out so easily or that it will be challenges free. LIFE WON'T GET ANY EASIER THIS YEAR OR ANY OTHER YEAR IN PARTICULAR.

The uncomfortable truth is, life will get tough and situations will get hard; but we must not fret, give in or give up. We have GOD on our side and one with God (scripture says) is majority. HOLD ON TO GOD- THE ONE WHO KNOWS AND HOLDS THE YEAR IN HIS HANDS.

It’s a New Year, let nothing hold you back. Make this year special. Let this year become the year you become that new you. Let this year be the year you stop doing those same old things that have gotten you nowhere.

Let this year be the year you stop being sorry for yourself and stop making excuses for being at a place you know you shouldn’t be. If your life needs a turn around, it must start with you.

Do you desire to be knowledgeable? I realized that IGNORANCE IS NOT HEREDITARY. Wisdom is available to anyone who chooses to seek it. And there are over a thousand and one good read books you can lay your hands on and get informed.

This year, we need to establish what's important to us and what's not so we don't waste time, energy and resources on things that are of no benefit to us. And don’t be afraid to give up on things that are not beneficial to you.

A New Year offers an opportunity to look back, and see how far we have come, review and take inventory of our lives, redefine our priorities, set goals, dream dreams and to look forward to a wonderful year.

Perhaps 2012 was not so great a year for you! Well don’t sweat. Whatever it was that didn’t go well last year, let it go! Leave 2012 in 2012. Don’t carry over baggage from last year to this year. It’s a new year, it’s a clean slate, and it’s a fresh start. Give it to God.

Isaiah 43 tells us “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old”.

Did someone hurt you last year; don’t carry it over into this year. I know the situation may seem difficult to forgive, but forgive anyway! If not for anything so your Heavenly Father forgives you. Let there be no ill will in your heart. Forgive those who use you, curse you, and gossip about you.

In life there will always be critics who will criticize you, people who are going to talk about you and slander your name but don’t let it get to you.  Their criticism should make you better not bitter.  And since people are going to talk about you anyway, make sure YOU GIVE THEM SOMETHING WORTHWHILE TO TALK ABOUT.

Let’s make 2013 the best year of our lives by laying everything into the hands of God. Let’s ask Him to direct our steps and give us His heart...why? Because when you think about it, ONLY God will never leave us, never forget about us, never give up on us. And if we have given our lives to Him, He will always be there working things out for our good and His glory.

This year, never put anyone before GOD. People come and go but only GOD remains. Scriptures says He is a friend that is closer than a brother so depend more on God, rely less on people.

This year, we must not be afraid to stand for righteousness at all times even if it means us standing alone. In a world filled with so much confusion and uncertainty, Jesus Christ remains our only true hope.  And it’s in our best interest to stay with Christ.

I talk about my faith a lot not because I’m a religious freak but because I have a relationship with God made possible through Christ Jesus and God is too good that I can’t help but talk about Him.

I have seen God do phenomenal things in my life and the lives of others. God has never failed, He never will and He will not start with you. He has a flawless track record. He has never lost a case, never lost a battle, never lost a Patient.

If you desire to have a relationship with God, just ask Jesus to become Lord over your life and place no one before Him. It’s that simple.

If you are committed to living for the Lord this year and beyond, I will love to partner with you. Inbox me lets pray together, encourage one another and grow together. The best investment you can ever make is eternal investment.

In conclusion, I want to say, don’t get left behind this year, the world is moving, people are moving so move and get going.  2013 must not drift by!  THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS YEAR SHOULDN’T BE BETTER. It is my prayer that the year counts for good in your life.

It’s a new year; make it awesome…
