DATE: SUNDAY, 3 JULY 2022

So, let us look at few intentional actions that will provide us space to write on the pages of the new chapter of our life. We need to first reflect on ourselves. Spend time with just ourselves, clean out unwanted debris that’s blocking our space (Prov. 24:27). Draw a sync line between what we want, our thoughts, goals, and actions (Lk 14:28-30). This simple practice allows our priority to find expression. Often times what occupies so much space in our lives are the things we don’t need. Most of them are irrelevant and counterproductive. So, we must learn to do away with them and focus more on the things that do matter.

SCRIPTURE: Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? (Luke 14:28 NIV)

REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Again, we must learn to make peace with reality and work with it. You don’t open a new chapter of your life filled with unrealistic goals and ambitions. We often get stuck in life because we’re unable to match fact with reality. We relentlessly continue to indulge in fantasy and wishes, living in limbo where we create things that does not exist. But, beloved, the truth is, that kind of life doesn’t pay. You must learn to get real with yourself no matter how distasteful it is. Understand the situation you’re in now, and fashion out how you can work with what you have, and not what you wish you had. Stay Refreshed!

NOTE THIS: It’s never too late to build the life you want, but first you need to reflect on yourself, discover what you want in life and realistically set to make it happen.

RESPONSIBILITY: Be truthful to yourself as you sincerely pursue our goals in life.

PRAYER: O LORD, give me the grace to do whatever it may take for me to open a new chapter in my life, and make a mark in my generation, in the name of Jesus’ Amen! (Go ahead and pray for other intentions as the Spirit leads)

PROPHETIC WORD: Receive the grace for newness of life, in your times of need, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!

BIBLE TEXTS: Luke 14:28
