Christian friends,
The new year is almost here. I can say that for me, 2013 was a year of series of events but I thank God that I have made it into another year. I am indeed grateful to God but however I am still not where I want to be. I have a hunger that is stirring inside me for the deeper things of God and I can't wait to see what else God has in store for me. I believe that as we forge ahead into the future (2014), we have to reexamine ourselves, to look deeper and search our hearts to see how we have progressed so far. What are the things that has kept us back from God? What were our major distractions? What have we replaced God with? These are idolatry. As the book of Hebrews 12:1 says, Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
So Christian friends let us continue to run the race. Put away idolatry. Pick up the Word of God and redeem the time because the days are evil.
In Jesus,
Stephen Ibeh.
