Gradually,this year is grinding to a halt.Very soon,Xmas Carols will rend the airwaves.
How will you rememder this year?What will you remember this year for?
My intention is not to write off the year yet - I beleive that it is not over until it is over!
My aim is just to ginger up my readers to review their gosal for the year and analyse progress made- so far.
My prayer for all is that God who has seen you this far will see you ALL THE WAY!
Has the year been rough on you thus far?Dont worry;be happy! YOU have not devalued before God.Jesus knows about ALL our struggles;He will come through for us!
Consider the story of the N1000 Currency Note;
A well-known
speaker started off
his seminar by
holding up a N1000.00 note. In
the room of 200, he asked,
"Who would like this N1,000
note?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give
this N1,000 to one of you
but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to
crumple up the
N1,000 naira note..
He then asked, "Who still
wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the
air.
Well, he replied, "What if I do
this?"
And he dropped it on the
ground
and started to grind it into the
floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled
and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the
air.
My friends, we have all learned
a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the
money, you still wanted it
because it did not decrease in
value.
It was still worth N1,000.
Many times in our lives,
we are dropped, crumpled,
and ground into the dirt
by the decisions we make and
the circumstances that come
our way.
We feel as though we are
worthless!..
But no matter what has
happened or
what will happen, you will
never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or
finely creased,
you are still
priceless to those
who DO LOVE you.
The worth of our lives comes
not in what we do or who we
know,
but by WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST .
You
are VERY special-
Don't EVER forget it."
CHRIST BOUGHT US WITH HIS BLOOD.
Shalom.
