If we are going to stop life from
withering us, we have to stay full of praise, when you give God Praise, it’s
just like you are watering your seed, when you go through the day, thanking God
that he is in control, thanking him that he is working behind the scenes,
thanking him, that he is arranging things in your favour, that seed, that
dream, is constantly being nourished. If you know God has put something in your
heart, even if you have to pursue it your whole life time, you should never
stop trying, keep pressing forward, get your mind going in the right direction,
you need to keep fertilizing your seeds, You need to keep Dreaming those dreams.
Gods word is alive and full of power. Psalm
1:3 says, if you will meditate on Gods promises, you will be like a tree planted
by the waters, your leaf will not wither..,
and whatever you do, will prosper. This
means you will outrun every attack, you will overcome every challenge, you will
defeat every enemy, you will see every dream come to pass. And if your leaf has
withered, I believe today, it’s starting to come back to life, fresh vision is
being planted on the inside of you. God is birthing new dreams, things you may
have given up on, things you taught are too far gone, He is going to restore,
what you once taught, was impossible, you need to draw that line on the sand
and say, this is for me, I am shaking off every disappointment and set back, I
am not settling where I am, this is my year to step into Gods favour in a
greater way.
It’s interesting to me, how many
of the great accomplishment we have seen in the world today, came from people
that will refuse to get discouraged, people that refused to give up. Henry Ford
went bankrupt five times, after the first bankruptcy, he was tempted to be
discouraged and up to the fifth time, he didn’t give up. He may have gone
bankrupt five times, but his sixth company turned out really good. Don’t let life wither you, if
one dream dies, dream another one. You are only a failure, if you quite
trying that means if you get knocked down nine times, all you need to do is to
get back up the 10th time to be the victor.
That’s why Jeremiah says, blessed is the person who makes the lord is
hope and confidence, he will be like a tree planted by the river banks, with
its root reaching deep down into the waters. It’s a tree not bothered by
the heat nor worried by long months of draught, its leaves stay green and it
goes on to produce good fruits. Because we have got our trust and confidence on
Jehovah Jireh (Our Great Provider), even though we may go through some dry
seasons, because our roots go down deep, it’s not going to affect us, our
leaves are going to stay green, that means they will not wither. Other people
may be going around complaining, but we got a song of praise in our hearts,
why, because we are connected to the vine, we get our mind renewed and we are
meditating on Gods promises.
