Welcome once again to another edition of winning word for the week. Its almost the beginning of another month - September. In Nigeria, where I come from, we call September and subsequent months, the "-ber" months. They signify that the year is rounding off. I am made to understand from the scriptures that the end of a thing is better than the beginning thereof. In other words, God is set to do great and mighty things more than the ones He has done in the past for us. You'd agree with me that in January, He was awesome; in February, He was fantastic; in March, He gave it all; in April, He was faithful; in May, He was all sufficient... all through the year, God has been good to us. Hence, through the month starting from this week, I'd be doing a series I title "...AND FORGET NOT!"
Often times we tend to easily forget the great and mighty things God has done in our lives; especially at times when things are not going the way we want. This season of the year, as its rounding off, God wants us to be more appreciating of His blessings; not forgetting the things He has done for us and in our lives. This week, He talks to us from Psalm 103v2 "Bless the Lord oh my soul and FORGET NOT all His benefits" All through this month, I'd be sharing with us short stories of great things God has done in my life. I'd begin with one this week.
On my day of birth, I was made to understand that I was not born alive like most babies. I did not cry out with the sound of a new born baby. In other words, I was born dead. But God in His infinite mercies, had a purpose for my life greater than what the world had for me. He had me in His plans and was not going to watch me die at birth. I was told the midwife of the Mission clinic I was born at took me in her hands and said "Lord, I have made a covenant with you that no child will die in this clinic" and she prayed and as soon as she was done praying, I cried out miraculously like every other baby. Isn't that amazing. That is one thing I always remember at every day I celebrate my birthday. God is awesome!
As you go this week, set it on your heart to be appreciating of His goodness. Set it on your mind to be thankful of the great things he has wrought in your family, academics, church, home, business, work, career - everything! Give Him thanks and FORGET NOT! As you do that, I am more than sure you are setting up yourself for the END of a thing that is EVER GREATER than the beginning. God will show Himself mighty on your behalf.
NB: If you want to encourage us with a testimony of God's goodness in your life too; do not hesitate to put it on the comment section of this note, on the wall of our group on facebook or if you want me to share your testimony in subsequent episode, you could flick me an email at samuel@dynamiqueprofesseur.com
