happy new YOU

JANUARY 1, 2014   happy new YOU

Colossians 3:1–4.  If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.  For you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.  When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Revelation 21:1-7  Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband; and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away.” And he who sat upon the throne said, “Behold I make all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.” And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the fountain of the water of life without payment.  He who conquers shall have this heritage, and I will be his God and he shall be my son.

YOU were created to Breathe Life.   God is a God of NEW beginnings.  This year, right now, you can celebrate a HAPPY NEW YOU!   Simple determination and will power without implementation will leave you short of your goal.  You have to make it happen.  The Time is NOW.

1.  a NEW spiritual and moral YOU  –  He will renew your mind and give you a new heart.   This means that you are a NEW CREATION.

2.  a NEW physical and bodily YOU –  He will make you new again.   When we choose to give our hearts to Christ and He changes us spiritually that comes with the promise of a physical new body in the future.   This world is no longer our ‘home’ we have a future in GLORY.   To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

3.  a NEW relationship with GOD  –   The GOD of the UNIVERSE, the CREATOR of the world, love YOU.   He came into this world and LIVED among us and then DIED in front of us, offering us not only HOPE of a future but a personal RELATIONSHIP with the very SON OF GOD.   Will you choose this year to journey with Jesus?

Ministry Action Plan

the “6 x6 x6” M.A.P.

The most difficult task of leadership is leading oneself.  Too many dreams are wasted due to the lack of goal setting and schedule implementation.   Sometimes the reason for little progress is that we don’t know how to do something.  The major cause however is lack of preparation and self-leadership.

I must plan for the success of my ideas.   I must sit down at the beginning of each week, month, year and organize my life so that my vision and goals will be implemented.
