Recently I saw a hilarious reply to a tweet, the question was "have you been kissed on New Year's Eve Night"? the reply was "NO, because I'm always in Church"
I'm sure this applies to so many of us, you should see this hilarious list; 10 things that are too real for any Nigerian who has attended cross-over service
And by the way, if you haven't seen by list, here my list
Before I get carried away in the excitement of New Year, I decided to drop this. Enjoy!
Ecclesiastes 3 verse 1 says "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven"
Verse 11 of the same chapter says " He hath made everything beautiful in his time; also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end".
As long as you are on planet earth, you are bound to time, you can't exceed the number of hours in day. There is only one person who isn't limited to time and that is God! The passage above says that 'He makes everything beautiful in his time; which means that it's not human time. God's time can not be calculated, can't be predicted. You also cannot see the end of anything, it is only him that knows for sure whatever would happen. He saw the beginning and end of 2015. In fact He has already seen the end of 2016, He knows who's not going to make the end of 2016.
Lots of people place so much emphasis on this day, sometimes its over hyped, yeah its a big deal to be alive at the end of year because so many people don't have this privilege. In fact my mom has gone for not less than one burial every month.
My point of view on this day however is; in as much as you reflect on the year that is passing away (because 2015 can never come again) its very important to project on the new year.
Nimah Anwah (Yasmine Elmasri) in Quantico (TV series) described new year as "the next day in a long line of days" during a conversation with Alex Parrish (Priyanka Chopra) who said "new year's eve is special".
Personally New Year signifies growth, it means I'm growing up; therefore more responsibilities, more challenges, basically more. lol.
However, the most important day that pushes closer as we step into new year is the LAST DAY aka JUDGEMENT DAY for us believers. (also the last day of your life). The judge of this matter is God. the question is "How is your relationship with Him"? "How do you plan on improving this relationship"?
I listened to Pastor Sam Adeyemi (of Daystar Christian Center) some weeks ago, he said your New Year's Resolution should be: "What is my purpose on earth?", He said "Ask God why am I here?"
See you in 2016 by God's grace.
Lemme be the first to wish you "HAPPY NEW YEAR" *big grin*
With love, theInspiredCutiee
