Happy New Month! It is that month of the year i call the "12th hour".
I don't know why i love the number 12' so much, maybe due to the significant attribution of it to various biblical events such as the twelve sons of Jacob that originate the twelve tribe of Israel, the twelve disciples of Christ and also 12 is the time that separate the morning into noon and the night into a new dawn. Isn't that number significant?
It is the last month of the year in 2016 but not the least, a lot happened from January to this point but what gave me happiness is that the one reading this piece is still alive and breathing at this point in time. It doesn't matter the things you could not achieved or where you have failed severally but the good news is that there is a guaranteed that you can achieve so much in this last month of the year. It is a month of perfection and surprises. That prayers, dreams and aspirations could be fulfill this month if only you confidently believe. I don't know the disappointment that has hit you this year, the setback and afflictions but hear this, the fact you are still alive is a sign and attestation that something good lies ahead of you.
When i was praying, the lord laid in my heart that a lot of people pray all the time for the things ordinarily they can handle and for a moment i pondered on those words and asked if they are things we can handle then why prayers all the time? Then i got the answer that most things we seek can be obtain from genuine actions and plan. At this point i understand clearly the message. Most times people pray for miracle job, contract and breakthrough but seems not to be getting result but on the contrary the man who doesn't even pray or go to church as often as you do have things working for him and you wondered where is God or why has God abandoned you? The answer is very right there before you. Check the things you have been doing wrongly all this while and correct them for they are far better than just praying alone, i didn't rule out prayer but most times it isn't all about prayers.
When life get a wrong turn on you always remember this four letter abbreviation W-H-H-W.
W- What really went wrong in my life that has shaped the way things are now. What did i do or supposed to have done but didn't do that got me this place?
H- How did i got here in the first place? Sometimes you may not know what you did wrong but it is imperative you know how you got into that mess. I used to tell people from my experience in life that it's likely that whatever challenges one has in life currently could have been avoided by some better decisions earlierly. I was a victim of bad decision but i never remained there for i always said to myself, even though i couldn't change my past deed i can at least always correct my present for a better tomorrow.
H- How do i get out of my present situation? You have seen and known what and how you get messed up with life, the next thought of action is how to get out of it. In this phase of reasoning, you begin to take stock of things that didn't work out for you in the past and drop them, also draw a strong line to succeed and soar high. Seek for advice from life coaches and mentor and quit any limiting factor and activity of stagnation.
W- Where do i really want to be. This is a powerful thought when given a good consideration, until you know where you want to be or head to you will never leave your present situation. A good number of people get lost here simply because they haven't or are yet to make up their mind of where they really want to be. When you know what you want and where you desire to be, no amount of force will hold you back from getting there. The reason you are still where you are is because you haven't decided where you want to be. This is the sole reason a lot of people give up on themselves and resign to fate. You must not depend on the predictions of others to succeed in this life, it is your life and if you made decisions on the bases of people opinion definitely you are heading towards failure and at the end you stand to be blame or hold responsible for whatever your life turns out to be.
Finally, this is a month of appraisal. Check your transaction so far and see where there is need for improvement. It is not always about prayers all the time, that thing limiting you from getting desire result could just be your attitude and negligence. Let this month be a month for you to adjust and plan ahead for a better future. You can make it, nobody is against you or bewitching you for when you do things rightly you will surely get positives result.
Shalom
Evang Tony.
