Matthew 12:35-37. NKJV.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
The dictionary meaning of Impetus is force or energy with which a body moves.\” Something that makes a process or activity happen or happen more quickly.
2022 is right here before us and the clock is ticking already, before you know it the 2nd Month, February is gone and by implications some of us are gathering momentum to kickstart our year while some are set already to get running.
This year, you must have to be intentional and get yourself motivated learn to take charge of your day by the words of your mouth \”For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Words are too powerful they can build up or they can pull down the bible says in Proverbs 18:21 \”Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits\”. (ESV)
This year you must learn to command your days early before the enemy speaks their own words. Bless your day before going out in the morning; Job asked \”Have you commanded the morning since your days began and caused the dawn to know its place, So that [light] may get hold of the corners of the earth and shake the wickedness [of night] out of it?\” (Job 38:12-13).
Learn to speak positive words to yourself and all your immediate family members because if you don\’t speak words of blessings to your life and the lives of those who are under your care somebody is doing that against you using negative words to curse your day and you should know that the environment obeys the word Spoken for it is the spoken word that the world was created \”The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light; and there was light\”. (Genesis 1:2-3)
I know quite well that there are times when it looks as though you are trying but the cloud of delays hovers around you, that\’s when your mouth becomes your mean tool. Use your tongue frequently and positively in encouraging yourself no matter what the situation may be. Do not allow the words of your detractors to go ahead of your words to cause you pain, their motives of causing you pain is to make you lose focus and concentrate on your pains so that you will be terrified and be scattered not to lift up your hands according to the bible in the book of Zechariah 1:18-21
18 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were four horns. 19 And I said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these?”
So he answered me, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
20 Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen. 21 And I said, “What are these coming to do?”
So he said, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no one could lift up his head; but the craftsmen are coming to terrify them, to cast out the horns of the nations that lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”
Stop focusing on your pains, be in charge God gave your life as a gift to you. Stop allowing people to run your life for you. Don\’t allow your past to define your future. Do not consider the public lives of people to deceive you because is all about packaging, if you get to know their private lives you will know that your case is not worse. Be honest to yourself and stop poke nosing be in the area of your calling and do not be a hinderance to others. May the likes of ziba not go ahead of us before our David. The bible tell us about the character of ziba servant of Mephibosheth Saul\’s grand Son. Ziba lied against His master to curry favour so as to deprived his Master Mephibosheth his inheritance. That\’s the problem we face when the voice of our haters go ahead of us before our Divine Helpers
When David was a little past the top of the mountain, there was Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth, who met him with a couple of saddled donkeys, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, one hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine. 2 And the king said to Ziba, “What do you mean to do with these?”
So Ziba said, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who are faint in the wilderness to drink.”
3 Then the king said, “And where is your master’s son?”
And Ziba said to the king, “Indeed he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.’”
4 So the king said to Ziba, “Here, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours.”
And Ziba said, “I humbly bow before you, that I may find favor in your sight, my lord, O king!” (2Samuel 16:1-4).
\”casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you\”. (1Peter5:)ESV
When we have fears or anxieties, our natural instinct is to gather them close and keep them hidden from the world. We are inclined to carry them alone and not burden others with our cares. In this verse, however, Peter tells us not to carry our own cares, but to cast, or throw, them onto the Lord. He wants our cares because He cares. God cares for us. The things that concern us, concern Him and He would not have His children been burdened by anxieties of this world. It is not God\’s will that His children be burdened with load of cares. That\’s the Impetus we have as Children of God to cast all our burdens to Him for He cares for us and be prepared always.
It doesn\’t matter how many voices that are speaking against you, it matters about your own declarations about yourself and what God says concerning you. \”I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, neither is bread to the wise nor riches to men of intelligence and understanding nor favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all. Ecclesiastes 9:11. AMP.
Have A Pleasant Weekend and Remain Blessed 🙏
