Uhmmm we are 1year and a day old today lol that’s just me refusing to get over the fact that Yielded is still here maybe because l know what it took to build to this point. “What do we have to reflect on, we just started the year.” Well, any wise man will tell you, that the beginning of every season, particularly a new year requires a lot of self-introspection, reflection and meditation. Nobody falls faster than the one who never prepared for the journey. Nobody fails as much as the one who never committed to the process of planning. The Lord already has a plan for The Yielded Center in 2025, a plan for you and a plan for me. The Lord is a planning God. He makes this known to us in Jeremiah 29:11.
Because of this, l would like us as The Yielded Family to, by all means find out the plan God has for you in 2025 and to YIELD. What caused me to fail in the previous years? I made plans and invited God into those plans. In other words, l just sought The Lord’s help for plans that most probably were not in alignment with His plans for me. That is the most time consuming, delaying strategy and wise people should never do it that way. Where did that get me? To the prayer about the locusts that ate the years. While restoration is a great great blessing to us, we can never downplay God’s system of restoring what was lost but, l believe that Kairos is always the best possible way to navigate through life. Knowing what to do, at the right time, no delay.
I am pleading with us all to sit with the vision and allow Holy Spirit to expand, explain, and give us instructions. People of God we need to know the instructions. This is not the year to just run with no vision, shooting arrows in the air, walking like the drunk. If it takes studying sermons, watching YouTube videos, taking up challenges, do that! If you are actually looking to be motivated daily, you are not serious about your vision. The angel only told Mary once about the vision, he didn’t have to come daily to say it, because she had the capacity to hold onto the vision and embrace it. This year you will need to hang onto the vision, no matter what. You will have to be your own motivator, be your own cheerleader, because if you wait for people to keep saying how proud they are of you – how wonderful you are, you will be stuck when they stop saying it.
I can’t wait to hear your testimony. I know that if we follow The Lord closely, we will not only prosper, but we will also have rest on every side. You know l love you and I’m praying for you. Alone we can fail, but we can never fail with God.
Selah.
