MAKE
A RESOLUTION!
(Take
action and make each day count!)
Special
New Year edition for 1st January 2016 by Ndimofor Aretas
HAPPY
NEW YEAR!
Did you hear that? A NEW YEAR...! Another God given opportunity!
I
feel very privileged to be among the chosen ones to see the start of yet
another year! You too should be. I heard of a lot of deaths and accidents, but
I am very grateful that I am still able to be here to give you deliver my
talks.
Imagine
that you had a daily amount of 43,200 frs which you must spend completely and
you are not supposed to leave a franc because it will be taken back!
What
will you do? I am sure you will develop ways
to exhaust that money to the last franc!
For some people, it is much and for others it is too small! All depending on WHAT they have in mind.
This
is the amount of daylight time that you have to spend each day! Yes you have about 43,200 seconds of daylight
hours each day to exhaust! WHAT are you
going to do to make sure that each day counts this year?
Last
night, I thought all about 2015. I tried
to remember all my achievements, all that God had inspired me to do. I also reflected upon my mistakes and this
was how I came up with my NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS.
Have you made yours? If not, it is not too late..... START NOW...
MAKE EACH DAY COUNT!
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR YOUR SUCCESS
THIS 2016…..?
Remember
that in my first write up, I said it is not enough to say that you have it in
your head….NO….
WRITE IT DOWN….! Something happens when you get serious enough
to write down your goals. Write them
down and put them in front of you… on your wall or on your mirror at home or on
the first page of your book….!
Set clear targets for this New
year; The clearer the goals and
objectives, the higher the probability for you to attain them.
Learn from the mistakes you made last
year! Be motivated by your achievements
so far!
Don’t be discouraged by your
blunders! Pick up yourself and say:
“This is the day which the LORD
hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it”
(Psalms: 118:24 King James)
This New Year is like a new blank
book. You have the pen and the
responsibility of filling up the pages.
Remember that the very fact that you are
still alive means that there is something you still have to accomplish... God
still has a PURPOSE for you; it is your duty to find out what it is... You and no one else can do it! Something or somebody somewhere is waiting
for you to HAPPEN to it....!
There are tests and exams and classroom
activities and clubs and national day celebrations that are waiting for you to
happen to them! How do you intend to do
that?
Here are a few things I did before I
made plans for the New Year. I believe
they will also be of great help to you;
1. I
started by asking for God’s FORGIVENESS
and then FORGIVING both myself and
others; for if you want God’s forgiveness then you should be ready to forgive
others (Mat. 6:14) and when you forgive yourself, you mind is free.
2. Next
I ASSUMED TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY over my actions and thoughts; I resolved not to
justify, rationalize or blame others for what is happening to me. I said to myself that “I am responsible!”
3. I
promised myself to always listen to God; because I believe He knows it all and
He has plans to prosper me this year.
The
above steps where enough to free my mind from negativity and open up the doors
to all my objectives for the New Year. The
next step is setting goals, planning and implementing the plan. That will be the subject of my next write – up.
For
now, just remember that you are only limited by your imagination because there
is no limit to what you can.
Even
if you don’t see how possible it will be, just begin in Faith and the God who
put that Good dream in your heart will do extraordinary miracles to see you
through as He says in Phil.1:6.
Decide
what you want to achieve this year, find out what it will take for you to
achieve it and then start doing it.
Remember that you are going to face challenges and adversity; be fast to
learn the lessons and continue positively.
Know that;
“Success
is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out”. Robert
Collier
Above
all remember that;
God
created human beings, making them to be like himself (Gen 1:27) and so you are fearfully
and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and therefore can do all things through
Christ who strengthens you (Phil. 4:13).
Therefore,
make your NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION, start acting on it now and make each day count. As you do that, the Lord will guide your
step.
IN
JESUS’ NAME,
AMEN.
HAPPY
NEW YEAR 2016 !!!
