The Power to Start Again 1

<p>Thursday 1st April&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Power to Start Again&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>The operation, mindset and values of the Kingdom of God are completely different from that of this world. What the world celebrates can be shameful in the kingdom of God and what is considered wise in the Kingdom of God can be considered foolish in this world.</p> <p><br></p> <p>“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.&nbsp;</p> <p>Is. 55:8 NKJV</p> <p><br></p> <p>When we receive an assignment from God and we encounter challenges or failure in the process, God doesn’t expect us to abandon the assignment, He expects us to press on and start again. In this world, to repeat could mean something undesirable or shameful. The earliest concept of repeating that most people have is that of repeating a class in school or repeating an assignment in class. The ideas of repeating in that context carried a sense of punishment but in the Kingdom of God, to repeat or start again is commendable.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>- It means an opportunity to start in a better way</p> <p>- It means the ability to stay focused and undeterred in the face of challenges.</p> <p>- It means having an opportunity the develop mastery&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>So, let go of every negative idea you have about starting again, especially when it’s in an area you are sure God has ordained for you. In this world, starting again can be painful and shameful, in the Kingdom of God is powerful and highly commendable.</p> <p><br></p> <p>I pray that the Lord will enable you to stay on course with your God given assignment undeterred and give you the strength to begin again if you have to in Jesus’ Name.</p> <p><br></p> <p>God bless you and enjoy your day!</p>
