RHAPSODY OF REALITIES FRIDAY 10TH JULY.
LOOK BEYOND YOUR PAST BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing⦠(Isaiah 43:18-19).
Many gripe and grumble about their past, weighed down by the mistakes of yesterday, instead of looking at the future with the hope and opportunities it presents for greater success. It makes no difference what was said, done or written against you yesterday; see your bright and glorious future ahead. Focus on the present and the future.
Those who live in yesterday are often frustrated and canβt experience true joy. In your relationships, refuse to focus on the mistakes and misgivings of yesterday. Thereβs no beauty or glory in yesterday; therefore, refuse to live your life on the basis of yesterdayβs experiences.
Someone may say, βNow that I have this new job, I donβt want what happened to me in the past to happen again. Iβm going to be very careful.β Then, as a result of being too careful to avoid whatever negative experience they might have had in the past, their productivity falls short of their actual capacity. Their best is unseen and unheard because theyβve allowed their past experiences to guide their lives.
Let the Word of God, not your past experiences, guide you. Be inspired by the joy and inspiration of a better and more glorious tomorrow. Our theme verse says, βRemember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old….β Whatβs that terrible experience that wouldnβt leave your mind? Let it go!
Neither the accomplishments nor failures of yesterday should make you a captive of your past. Rather, armed with the Word and with faith in your heart, apprehend the glorious future the Lord has ordained for you, and Heβll do new and greater things through you.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for renewing my mind through your Word and enlightening my spirit to see and walk in my glorious future. I refuse to be held back by yesterdayβs experiences, for my path is as a shining light, shining brighter and brighter, for your glory, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.
