Crossing Over, See the Beauty of the New Year and not eat of it!!!

“Why are we sitting here complaining, broke, hungry, and afraid yet prayerful until we die?” ~ The Four leprous men (2Kings 7:3) paraphrased

Today I add another year to my age. However, this is also the day that the entire world celebrates as a hallmark of the new things expected to happen in the unfolding season. The religionists also come alive with themes to denote the entry into a new year. We hear themes like “Crossing over with Power” “Night of Destiny” “My year of prosperity” etc. Some circles even go into fasting prior to the New Year’s Day. Is there anything wrong with doing all these? I don’t think so, its part of the choices that we make being men and women of free will. However, people have been doing these things from time immemorial and the majority are still wallowing in poverty and lack. It’s seems the New Year has always been like any other year looking at the monotony of events that results in no change. Critical life’s decisions must be made every day of one’s life and not wait for the New Year. Wealthy people are not made on New Year’s Day but are made in the everyday decisions that people make. Wealth is hidden in ideas and not in events. Everything we see such as infrastructure, products, works of Arts are all people’s ideas, which are exchanged for cash that goes into the idealist’s bank accounts. Anyone can proclaim and declare all they want but proclamations and declarations devoid of underlying million dollar ideas are just as empty as an empty tin. Ideas come only to those who think. That is the reason why the so-called “believers” are broke and eat each other’s children (2Kinga 7J) while the “Chinese” are counting cash and smiling all the way to the bank. The believers are praying and fasting but the revelation of million-dollar ideas are being revealed to the so-called “Out Casts” just to borrow unfounded descriptions used by Christian to describe non-Christians which in essence is being so narrow-minded. Just to refresh Christians' minds, was Steve Jobs a Christian or is Dangote a Bishop? If you can find the reasons why these people are wealthy and innovators, you would have discovered the secrets of being a Multi-Billionaire.

I submit to you today that as you enter into the New Year, think of the year like the man or the woman of year dreams. Describe the beauty you hope to see and experience. Put detail and color to what you hope to achieve, the people you wish to meet and connect, the new skills you want to explore. Explore your deep Imaginations of the things you have never done but you hope the magnificence of the New Year would help you explore. Describe and document what you hope to do every day, week and months because it’s only what is planned that usually gets done. Don't let your imagination down because it is the only place where you can fashion your destiny or you can forge the weapons to destroy your own life. Develop the habit of reading books on personal development to help you build skills including mental readiness for an expanded life. This will help you to get ready for big opportunities that you have built the capacity to manage.

If you want the New Year to be your best year, color the year with your best idea and be determined to execute no matter how crazy the idea sounds. If you have problems in getting ideas, just look around you and the communities you live in and find problems that need solutions. The problems you are seeing hold new million dollar ideas for you.  Remember, if anybody laughs at your dream, just know that you are on to something. Just talking about an idea does not make the idea work but document the idea and be willing to die for it in the New Year.

Happy and Blessed New Year to you all
