CREATING A NEW BEGINNING.

The reason God created days,weeks,months, and years is for demarcation:so that we can have opportunity for a fresh start,in order to change or improve on the previous.God is a God of new beginnings.He gives us the opportunity to push the mistakes and failure of yesterday behind us and embrace the bright future that is set before us.Why do we have night for instance?It is so that you can sleep over the failure of the day and wake up with a refreshed mind for greater achievements.Why does the sun rise every twenty four hours?It is to give you hope that you are face to face with new opportunities.Why do we have a new year very twelve months?It is to close the chapter of the previous year,and open a new one.At every new beginning,God is saying to you "FORGET THE PAST AND CREATE SOMETHING NEW".He said in Isaiah 43:18-19,"REMEMBER YE NOT THE FORMER THINGS,NEITHER CONSIDER THE THINGS OF OLD.BEHOLD,I WILL DO A NEW THING,NOW IT SHALL SPRING FORTH;SHALL YE NOT KNOW IT?I WILL MAKE A WAY IN THE WILDERNESS AND RIVERS IN THE DESERT".So,if you enter a new day or new year with the mentality of the past,you are only cheating yourself.Every new beginning is an opportunity to create something new. One major experience that stagnates people in life is failure.Failure is not strange to human existence.God is aware of it and He has made provisions for it in case it occurs.Scriptures makes us to understand that beyond every failure is success,beyond an end is another beginning and beyond every disappointment is an appointment.The bible says "FOR A JUST MAN FALLETH SEVEN TIMES AND RISETH UP AGAIN(PROVERBS 24:16).In the race of life,it is not strange to fall as there is no one who has never fallen before whether physically or otherwise but it is unacceptable to remain in that fallen position. Failure is never final!You can always succeed again if you have failed.People who remain failures are not so because they have failed but because they have buried their success in past disappointments and mistakes.It is refusing to rise up from your fall that makes you a reproach and announces to people that you have fell.Everybody is busy pursuing something.If you fall and get back on your feet immediately,no one will notice it.They may think that you simply bent down to pick something from the ground.But when you sit down on the same spot,nursing your wounds and crying:people would begin to sympatise with you.That is when it seems difficult for you rise up on your feet again. One good thing about failure is that it teaches you how not to fail again.It is unfortunate to see many people suffer the same predicament over and over again because they won't learn lessons from the past.They don't sit down to consider what led to their fall or look for the areas where they need to make some adjustments so as not to fall again,so they keep failing.If you have failed in any area of your life,sit down and ask yourself,"WHERE DID I MISS IT?" look over the happenings of the past and pick your lessons so as to move on! No matter how bad the past has been,you can create a new beginning for yourself.You can put an end to the undesirable event in your life and introduce constructive changes that would lead to better results.You can move on from your sad past into a bright future,from the floor to the top,from the tail end to the fore front.But it does not just happen."FOR EVERY HOUSE IS BUILDED BY SOME MAN"(HEBREWS3:4).IF YOU WANT A NEW BEGINNING,YOU MUST CREATE IT.Whatever existed in your life before now that looks like failure,setback,confusions,depression or oppression will only come to an end when you refuse to remain in the past and take steps to create a new beginning for yourself. You don't wait for a change,you

create the change that you desire.Most people claim that they are waiting not knowing that they are wasting.Waiting without doing something is wasting without knowing!The longer you wait without doing something,the more failure overtakes you.You have waited long enough,start doing something."......THE EARTH WAS WITHOUT FORM AND VOID...AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD M0VED...."God is a mover.He does not watch situations.He moves.Creation resulted out of that movement.You have folded your hands long enough;it's time to MOVE!
