It has become a normal routine for many of us if not all of us to always count our losses concerning those things we were not able to accomplish in the year in focus. Just that we have proposed in our hearts and said to ourselves this current year ‘we are going to accomplish so and so thing’ and somehow along the line it is done on us that such dream and desire might not come to reality. The reaction from us has always been to put on a weary look and we feel dejected and the next thing is to start the blame game. And somehow, we think that if we can lay blames on people, government and even on God it will suit us and create a kind of relief in our lives. The only thing this kind of attitude helps to breed in our lives is the devastation of the relationship we have with people, government and God. The blame game will induce hatred and all of a sudden we find ourselves hating people, the government in power and God, thinking that in one way or the other they have contributed in our failure to achieve those desires and expectations.
Well, it may be true that people and the government in power might have contributed in the short comings you have experienced while pursuing your goals, after all if so and so person has done his or her part well you wouldn’t have missed that opportunity that came knocking on your door. And if the present government has the right policy put in place, your small establishment would have grown and the money that you borrowed from bank to start the project would have multiplied but now you cannot even give account of where the money is. The only reaction visible at the moment is anger and hatred, because according to your estimation, by now you would have gotten married to your proposed wife or husband. The building plan is there staring at you and nothing has been done concerning it, you expected by the middle of this year, it would have gotten to the roofing stage and at this time of the year you are gathering friends to come and ‘chop’ and ‘lick’ their fingers. Yet, you can’t believe it that it didn’t happen the way and manner you planned because you even took some time out and seek for a genuine business plan expert and the postulations he or she gave, you religiously followed every stipulations from his or her master plan and here you are still dreaming of the actualization of your expectations this year in focus! To you the struggle doesn’t worth it at all, you are weighed down with disappointments here and there and now you can’t even smile and for someone to see you laugh means that he or she has seen something precious as diamond.
What about God? God? That is a no go area for you. You can count how many times you fasted this year, not just fasting but serious ones indeed, I mean you spent several days in the Church, every night Virgil you are there and even you received a vision about the accomplishment of one of your expectations. Along the line you even received a prophecy about your expectation and there is this full assurance that it will work out the way you have planned. At this point in time, none of those ever took place and therefore to you is like the word God is a hoax and shouldn’t be mentioned anywhere near you. There is a big gulf between you and God, because what you expected Him to do for you this year couldn’t be done and there is no need following a God that cannot fulfill the desires of His followers. As it stands now you are contemplating not to believe in Him any longer, your prayer life has gone down to the lowest ebb and hearing a message of God from any preacher is very irritating to you. After all, some of your neighbors who didn’t commit themselves to much prayer and fasting and they don’t even know the way to any Church are having something to show for this year.
Well, I have good News for you and that is there is something you are having that is worth more than any achievement that eluded you this year! There are lots of people that had so many achievements to their credit today but they didn’t have what you have now. If those people were told that at this time of the year they will not be around to celebrate their achievements, they would have opted for what you have and forgo the achievements. This is because it only someone who has what you have now that can decide what to do next and follows it up. Therefore, the gift of life you have now is the greatest gift anyone can have on this planet earth because situations are subject to change and your situation is not different. Be informed that most of the moves that you made this year are just seeds you have sown and inasmuch as you are still alive 2018 will be the reaping year and you will see greater manifestation of the fruits of what you planted.
Those fasting and prayers you had and those visions and prophecies are coming into reality in 2018 if you can put up the right attitude. Therefore, shake off the anger and hatred, begin to laugh and be cheerful, go mend faces with your friends and stop blaming the government, and return to God because He is the safest place to be. Just because you are alive your good tidings are on your way. Believe it and receive it!
