A New Dawn

Forget the former things, do not dwelling on the past. See, I am doing a new thing, now it Springs up, do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland”.

Isaiah 43:18~19

A new dawn connotes new things, experiencing a change of story or situation for the better. A new dawn is often pregnant with so many possibilities and what we should ask ourselves is, what do I need to do so as to key in, into these possibilities.

1. A New or a Renewed Vision.

A vision is a picture projecting a desirable future. It can be sourced from within oneself, from observing people we admire. To renew something is to refresh old and abandoned dreams. What was the beautiful dream you had in 2019, which you ended up abandoning? It’s a new year, a new dawn, pick it up, refresh it in 2020. How then can we refresh old abandoned dreams? A new approach.

2. A New Approach

What you and me should be asking ourselves in this new dawn is how can I do it differently so that I don’t get same results as in the last year but have the best results in this new year? Hannah tried a different approach in the yearly Shiloh program which she and her family attended for many years and Heaven responded. Try something different, try a different method and the results won’t be same. Do we only try a different approach ? No! A new perspective also matters

3. A New Perspective

How far can you see? What you see is what you will become. If you choose to see failure, impossibility, stagnation, dryness, that you will receive. Choose to see possibility even in impossibility, choose to see streams of water in the desert and that which you see, you will become. Let the report of others not influence your perspective but let what God says be your drive. Once you have a new perspective, you need a new spirit aswell

4. A New Spirit

An I-can-do-all-things spirit is very vital for a new dawn. No matter where you find yourself, no matter what lies ahead, we need a God inspired kind of determination to lead us into that vision we have. With a new spirit we can’t be disturbed but we have rest because we know strength comes from God and once we put in an effort, he blesses the effort, hence we need to be diligent aswell.

5. A New Diligence

Diligence is work directed towards a proper channel. We can have a powerful vision, change our approach, have a new perspective and have a new spirit but we need to put an effort manifest the newness. A great deal of effort is required. Take that step of faith, make an attempt to move into the new direction and God who is committed to blessing the work of our hands will definitely bless that effort and behold something new, something great, something better will be our portions.

May God grant us the grace to do something new and better for His glory
