Let there be light!

Devotional Reading: Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light, ”Genesis 1:3 Hi There, and Good morning, day or evening. I hope you are good and ready to get into the creative power we spoke about yesterday. Yesterday we established that just like God in the beginning of time, we have also entered another beginning in the form of this new year. 3 days in, and it is still blurry what this year is all about or how it will look like. But we have the creative power in us, through the Holy Spirit to envision and authorize through our speech, the activities and the blessings of the year ahead. We do not plan amiss. We do not just thumb-suck our goals and plans. Our vision for our lives and the year ahead is based on the purpose or counsel that God gives us for this year. This is because we can plan all we want, but if God has not put His stamp of approval on our plans, we are wasting our time.Proverbs 19:21 says, “There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel—that will stand”. This is what it means: Firstly, you need to get counsel from God about the year ahead. Secondly, you will need to start to see it as God says it. Envision it, meditate on it, ponder on it, build it in your mind, let it be established on the inside of you. The 3rd step is automatic but you can also put a lot of intention into it. That is, to speak it into life. Once you have worked on step 2, and all the members of your body, as in your mind, your thoughts, your heart, your body are in agreement with the counsel that God has given to you, your tongue will follow suit. You will find yourself speaking it because you believe it. But even if you do not yet believe it, a tongue can be trained through conscious speech to align it to the vision you have from God. Tomorrow let’s explore the first step on how we can obtain counsel from God, not just for the year ahead, but life in general.
