Spiritual Wellness: Staying Focused

Greetings in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Happy New Year! Happy New Year!

This is the year we been doing a countdown for and we were so excited about it that a new season is coming as we’ve been praying for it to come swiftly. Happy New Year! Believe you had a wonderful cross over and you didn’t get hit by fireworks, as for me with my family- we had a wonderful crossover, it was so beautiful, loved every moment of it.

Let’s thank God for us meeting in this new year, let’s pray: Father Lord Jesus Christ, king of kings, Lord of lords, we thank you this morning in this new year for opportunity you’ve given us to meet once more , Lord we thank you for a safe and wonderful crossover and Lord Jesus Christ we pray that Lord may you in this year keep us in your presence so may be aligned to your will so we can testify about your Greatness, Lord Jesus we just ask to be in your presence Lord, Lord we thank you this morning, you alone are God and we say amen and amen.

Well we are here now, a new part of reality kicks in as some of us are going back to work and some have been at work throughout the festive season and school kids will be going back to school and parents still need to finalise school registration for their kids, it’s a lot happening in this new chapter. This is a chapter that requires you to have a clear mindset as to how you are going to navigate the year by planning and strategizing as to how you going to achieve your goals and how you are going to stay focused, here your mind needs to be at ease and be able to do the things you have planned to do.

You see before I start planning things for the year that I need to do, I start letting go of things that distract, disturb or hold me back by writing them down so I can be able to desal with them then after doing so I’m then able to receive/do everything planned. Remember last week I said write things down so can be able to track yourself, yes that was preparing you to use to use your diary more frequently as it will help you put things in order.

Knowing the things that held you down is an advantage to you because you’re able to pull yourself out by means of letting go, Letting go means to release something from you that you been having in or it’s been with you. Letting go is hard because you ask yourself so many questions and besides the questions the time spent with what you’re about to let go is what hurts the most. We need to let go of everything that has held us down, distracted or has hurt us and by doing so we’re then able to have a clear mind so we can work on new things that require our inner most being. Letting go helps clear your faith so you can be able o trust again, your faith gets re-invented to trust God more with your whole heart.

In the book of “Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
the verse makes use of former things meaning old things have to pass but me and you are still holding unto the former things while expecting new things from God and God cannot give us new things while we holding unto the old things. With being said will pause here for now so you can have time to write down things you want to let go in your life and next week we are going to deal with them together.

Prayer : Lord Jesus Christ, we ask in your name that Lord may you reveal unto us more things that we need to let go off so we can you do new things in our lives, Lord reveal all that we need to let go of and Lord Jesus please help to let go of everything you are revealing to us, Lord Jesus Christ, We thank you-thank you Lord for having us in your thoughts, and we say Amen and Amen
