Welcome to 2018, The Year of nothing, if you do nothing.
Today's most popular text trending on phones, whatsapp, Facebook inboxes is all about 'Happy New Year or Wish you a prosperous 2018'. Now, thank you but that is the most useless yet popular message all around the world. Its not about wishes, its about action.
Pastors will be busy dishing out all types of 'messages of hope to their respective congregants, The Year of Breakthrough, The year of Prosperity, The Year of Victory and whatever as their God tells them but listen, 2018 is a Year of nothing, if you do nothing! All the sweet sound messages will not mean anything until you do something yourself.
My message to you friends and folks is, Pray and Plan and then pursue. God will only bless what you work on according to His will. Do not be religious but be realistic. Take action and do not keep repeating the same things year in and year out yet you expect different results. Otherwise 2018 will be like 2017, 2016, 2015 or whatever or even worse. 2018 is just a number, it is not enough to just wish each other a happy one. It will not bring happiness unless you find something that will make you happy.
God has never rewarded idleness. Look at all successful people the Bible speaks about, they all had to do something, they never just waited and hoped. Set up your goals and then prepare then take up appropriate action. Do not fear failure. When you try and fail, be happy because you have just learnt one way of not doing things.
Listen to constructive criticism but do not underrate yourself. You are not useless. Everyone who is normal in the world can do something. It is not about your government always, it is not about God always, it is not about your friends and relatives, it is about you. The Bible says as a man thinks, so he is. Remember God told Abraham, 'Look North, South, East and West. As far as your eyes can see, I will give you and your children that land forever!'. Here God was giving you an open cheque. He says you can do anything as long as you believe. Only you can limit yourself.
So folks, I pray for all of you that God opens your eyes so that you will see limitlessly in 2018. I am not wishing you a happy 2018, I am praying for you instead. Walk in love, believe and be diligent in all you do. Start today, set your goals and move!
Again I repeat, Welcome to 2018, the Year of nothing..if you do nothing.
God bless Africa!
