Have you noticed what we say to each other when the Year ends …? We wish you all a Happy and prosperous New Year!
To prosper is to advance, to grow, to move forward. So, when we think about prosperity, we think about the future.
Do you think 2021 can be a prosperous year in your life?
Do you think, want or need?
In fact, the distance between being prosperous and wanting to be prosperous is not wanting too much or needing too much … who doesn’t? Many need it!
It is also not to have a hunch or even a feeling.
The difference is in finding, finding the path to prosperity!
So I want to leave here some tips of what we learn from the Word of God about it:
“Forget the former things; do not dwell 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 wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
Isaiah 43:18-19
“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.“
Philippians 3:13-14
- Anyone who wants to prosper cannot look back
- Whoever wants to prosper, has to focus on the target
- Whoever wants to prosper, must learn to recognize the new
If to prosper is to move forward, how then do we live looking back? Don’t let the marks of the past trap you!
If to prosper is to succeed, we must achieve goals; and for that, we have to be clear about what our target is. As has been said a lot; “For those who do not know where to go, any place is a destination …”.
If prospering is growing in the future, we cannot restrict ourselves to the comfort zone of what we already know how it works, and venture into the new of God for us.
Take the opportunity to really declare a Happy New Year in the lives of your brothers and friends!
And a Happy 2021 to all of us…
