THE GOOD, BETTER,\u00a0AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD: BE CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE AND READILY READY FOR THE NEW DAWN OF DOING LIFE DURING AND AFTER WHATEVER!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“For SURELY THERE IS AN END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF”\u00a0<\/i>Proverbs 23:18<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Surely there’s an end to everything under the sun – [whether it’s the\u00a0loss\u00a0of job, marital breakdown, relationship disruption, bereavement of\u00a0loved\u00a0one, infectious pandemic diseases and sicknesses, fatal accident, war, economic meltdown and such like] – for there is no different with God in WHATEVER.\u00a0It thus means\u00a0every\u00a0challenge\u00a0and difficult circumstance are certainly and surely TIMED to stop or come to an END point one day, irrespective of the days, weeks, months,\u00a0and years of that WHATEVER –\u00a0Proverbs 23:18.\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And life will always roll\u00a0into\u00a0a NEW action and motion again when\u00a0an end\u00a0has come\u00a0for WHATEVER betides one. It’s how much READINESS and PREPAREDNESS you are\u00a0making to forge ahead for yourself and all about you at the dawn day and dawn time when it comes – for therein is the very important thing to think and ponder through in the act of doing life and living godly by the grace in Christ Jesus\u2019\u00a0stead. To have a pragmatic and an intentional mindset setting for an onward and upward trajectory, it’s so important if you intend to be the one in charge, control and in DOMINON to reign and rule in your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead –\u00a0[Proverbs 21:31; Proverbs 16:1, 3, 7, 9].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s one scripture that I have known, that have kept me going, almost in every passing phase of challenging times in my life, in dealing with matters during and after WHATEVER in the path of the working of FAITH, the\u00a0labour\u00a0of love,\u00a0and the patience of hope in Christ Jesus stead. The scripture is this:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . 8 BETTER IS THE END OF A THING THAN THE BEGINNING THEREOF: and the patient in spirit is better than the\u00a0proud\u00a0in spirit. 9\u00a0Be\u00a0not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger\u00a0resteth\u00a0in the bosom of fools. 10 SAY NOT THOU, WHAT IS THE CAUSE THAT THE FORMER DAYS WERE BETTER THAN THESE? FOR THOU DOST NOT ENQUIRE WISELY CONCERNING THIS . . .”\u00a0<\/i>Ecclesiastes 7:7-12.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“We give thanks to God always for you all,\u00a0making mention of you in our prayers; [3] remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God”\u00a0<\/i>1 Thessalonians 1:2-4.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More so, I know that having a SCRIPTURAL perception of life, is an attitude that\u00a0makes one to perceive that their today is far better than yesterday, and that has helped and kept me going; and scriptural context in perception still helps me to stay strong and courageous, knowing that the best of anything\u00a0is\u00a0in the new start up and not in the old.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And the knowing that God’s act of faithfulness and steadfastness are NEW every morning – is an awesome plus on each passing day\u00a0(Lamentations 3:23)<\/b>; and by this confidence and assurance in SCRIPTURAL context in perception, there’s no reason why one should not live in the present tense of God to define\u00a0one’s\u00a0life for today and tomorrow.\u00a0Hence,\u00a0I can say that your GOOD, BETTER and BEST DAYS\u00a0have\u00a0come and\u00a0are\u00a0coming out of the WHATEVER\u00a0you are dealing with\u00a0at the moment\u00a0to advance in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just as I will always say that the New Testament, the New Creation which is of the New Covenant and such like, is far more superior testimony as in the fulfilment to the Old Testament of the Old Covenant and such like injunctions of the old – it beholds me as it becomes imperative, that one keep away and withdraws\u00a0from the concept of always looking back and thinking of the good old days instead of dealing with the present.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Regrets and living in the past will not\u00a0elevate\u00a0anyone, no matter the devotion to mourning,\u00a0murmuring,\u00a0and complaining\u00a0about\u00a0the past and\u00a0its\u00a0history – both in the bad or good terms. And dwelling in the past\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0indicate\u00a0a good sign\u00a0of being\u00a0innovative,\u00a0creative\u00a0and wise up to\u00a0make good of the present\u00a0in order to\u00a0ensure and endorse the beauty and glory so much desired of you – especially for your today and your tomorrow.\u00a0It’s\u00a0time for a NEW you to SPRING up for the NEW dawn day\u00a0that’s\u00a0about to come forth from you after the WHATEVER; because your world should not be the same again and you need not be – A LEFT BEHIND CHRISTIAN.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m\u00a0emboldened to inform you that the way you live and do life OUGHT to change whenever the WHATEVER is done away with in one’s life. And if you do not PREPARE and TRAIN yourself for the NEW you to emerge in order to\u00a0EFFECTIVELY\u00a0deal with the changes that will come up after your WHATEVER – you may live to regret\u00a0learning nothing whenever the WHATEVER shutdown or locked down or standstill moment is done and dusted.\u00a0It’s a wise decision for you to do life meaningfully and purposefully as a consequence of the preparation you’ve made for your emergence from the known and unknown WHATEVER you’ve been through.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just know that our ways of PRUDENCE – the\u00a0utilising\u00a0and managing of the resources – of TIME, FINANCE, EFFORT (Physical\/Mental Exertion), MATERIAL and PEOPLE, in order to earn a living may likely change in many ways after WHATEVER; and if you’ve not made yourself readily ready to adapt with the changes, there will be a left behind to catch up with, in the reality of change that may evolve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0want\u00a0you\u00a0whining,\u00a0crying\u00a0out loud\u00a0– saying\u00a0things\u00a0like\u00a0– THE FORMER DAYS ARE BETTER THAN THE PRESENT. This simply\u00a0means\u00a0you are not living in the NOW because the FORMER days have a grip on\u00a0you,\u00a0and\u00a0you’ve\u00a0forgotten that those\u00a0days\u00a0can’t\u00a0define your current and present day.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0time to look inward for your onward and upward trajectory\u00a0match\u00a0to the better and best of you in life and grace. Our God is the God of the now and tomorrow as He’s of yesterday; and He’s good and faithful to see us through life phase –\u00a0making the good and the bad to work together for our good Romans 8:28. But you must give God something to work with, to ensure you are\u00a0\u00a0through\u00a0with your inward (insight) and outward (foresight) plan, purpose and pursuit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I PRAY YOU KNOW WELL TODAY AND ALWAYS THAT – THE GOOD, BETTER AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD – THEREFORE, BE CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE AND READILY READY FOR THE NEW DAWN OF DOING LIFE DURING AND AFTER THE WHATEVER.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I pray you have a GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL days in the PRESENT TIME and in the TIME AHEAD that might evolve in\u00a0every way\u00a0in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Surely oppression\u00a0maketh a wise man mad; and a gift\u00a0destroyeth\u00a0the heart. 8. BETTER\u00a0IS THE END OF A THING THAN THE BEGINNING THEREOF: and the patient in spirit is better than the\u00a0proud\u00a0in spirit. 9. Be\u00a0not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger\u00a0resteth\u00a0in the bosom of fools. 10 SAY NOT THOU, WHAT IS THE CAUSE THAT THE FORMER DAYS WERE BETTER THAN THESE? FOR THOU DOST NOT ENQUIRE WISELY CONCERNING THIS. 11. Wisdom\u00a0is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and MONEY is a DEFENCE: but the EXCELLENCY OF KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM GIVETH LIFE to them that have it”<\/i>\u00a0Ecclesiastes 7:7-12.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“CAST NOT AWAY therefore your CONFIDENCE, which hath great RECOMPENCE OF REWARD. 36 For ye have need of PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might RECEIVE the promise. 37 For yet a little while,\u00a0and he\u00a0that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man\u00a0draw\u00a0back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; but of them that BELIEVE TO THE SAVING OF THE SOUL”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 10:35-39.<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
