JOURNEY UNTO NEW EXPERIENCE (article)

Beloved!, At the end of this journey to your new experience, you shall begin to live a life of impact, visibility, prominence, a life that commands attention, flying higher than your colleagues, reaching the zenith of your life with the glory of the lord surrounding you, excelling and distinguished in your God chosen career or purpose. Just bear it in mind that God is not a respecter of persons, anyone who fears Him He shall honour, bless, favour, lift, promote, prosper and take to the table of Greatness.

STEPS TO TAKE WITH BIBLICAL EXAMPLES IN YOUR JOURNEY TO NEW EXPERIENCE WITH GOD.

1.Righteousness: Prov 14:34. Joseph started his journey from the pit, to Portiphar’s house, to Prison and eventually to Palace where he became the prime minister with the CV of righteousness and dream interpretation. No education, no training, only his God given abilities led him into a new experience of God’s blessing, upliftment, Favour, Breakthrough, grace, glory, miracle, healing, happiness, mercy, etc. Whatever your experiences are in your life journey, stay on with God, stay righteous even when nobody is seeing you, God is keeping records. You are closer to the palace than you know. Do not join the multitude to do evil. Do not be discouraged when you see the wicked prospering. Their time is short, God will soon displace them. Whatever you have lost in your journey through righteousness will lead and place you into a new experience of God’s promotion. Just wait!

2.VOW: Gen 28:11-22. We see Jacob making a vow to God; He said “If God will help me and protect me on this journey and give me food and clothes and bring me back safely to my father, then I will choose Jehovah as my God! And this memorial pillar shall be a place of worship and I will give you back a tenth of everything you give me! Beloved, God is waiting for you to make a covenant vow you can fulfil in this your journey into new experience of lifting. Remember, in the case of Jacob, God fulfilled his part and Jacob also fulfilled his own part. In making vows, you are motivating and Putting God to test, but mind you he never fails, so you must not fail on your own part too for the equation to be balanced.

3.Sacrifice: Gen 8:20. During Noah’s journey in life, Noah gave a sweet smelling sacrifice to God and this provoked a new experience of covenant blessing. God said in gen 8:20 “I will never destroy the earth with water again because of your sacrifice. As long as the earth remains, seed time and harvest time shall not cease. In other words, the earth will be orderly for man to achieve . Beloved! Do what Noah did by sacrificing the best of the things you have in your possession In this journey and see if God will not struck you good and lasting covenant

4.Obedience: God instructed Abraham to sacrifice his long awaited miracle child and he did without murmuring or questioning. This provoked God to lift him in his journey as the friend of God and father of faith. In Gen 22:16-18 God said “Because you have not withheld your only son from me, in blessing, I will bless you and in multiplying, I will multiply you. What is it God has blessed you with that you are withholding from him? Abraham pass his test and God led him into a new experience of becoming the father of all nation. It Is not too late to obey the voice of God, Do not waste your life, Let God beautify the remaining days of your life, no matter how short it is. Abraham enjoyed a sworn blessing because of his prompt obedience.

5.Humility: Humble yourself while undertaking your journey to your new experience and God will lift you in due season. James 4:6 & 1peter 5:5, God resists the proud, but he gives grace to the humble. Pride displace, demotes, and devalues a person. The more broken you are in heart, the more fruitful you become in your life journey. God entrusted the largest church to the meekest pastor Moses. Num 12:4

6.          Endurance: Phil 2:5-11. In Jesus journey  to his new experience as the name above every other name, He was tempted by the devil and constantly battled with the Pharisees  and Sadducees who were always blocking the message of the gospel with their tradition. He had it really rough with them, but he did not stop working. The more they resisted him, the more souls he won to God’s kingdom. Beloved, your journey could be rough, but your experience with God shall be great. The same Jesus who was dragged in the mud during his journey has now become the highly exalted name that every knee and tongue both in heaven, earth and beneath are bowing and confessing him as the lord. You may have been blacklisted because you are a born again, never mind, do not worry about who accepts you or not. Just endure all because God will soon turn the table to your favour. Amen.

7.Do not forsake God: From the beginning of Job’s journey, he was known and seen as the richest man in his days with chains of businesses, properties, good health with a big happy family, but suddenly, everything turned sour. Despite all the adversities and calamities in his journey to his new experience was double of everything he had before. God turned his loss to double. Are you in a terrible state of your journey Do not be overwhelmed,  God is coming with a double portion of favour. Do not give up! God is watching. Remain calm and praiseful for your delay, you shall have double in Jesus name!

8.        Do not be afraid of Afflictions: David’s Journey to his new experience through Goliath, King Saul, the Philistines and his sons but God delivered him from them all. Among all the kings that ever ruled Israel, David was the most celebrated amongst them. What a great honour for a man who suffered many affliction on his journey to his experience as a king in Israel. Beloved, in your journey to new experience, you need to go through to breakthrough, do not be afraid of affliction, God is with you on that journey. He will not let you down. Let his word comfort you in your hour of trials. You are coming out triumphant! Amen

9.     Tenacity: Tenacity is about courage and determination, these are vital tools in your journey for promotion, lifting and progress. God instructed Joshua to be strong and courageous, if he really wanted good success. Discouragement paralyses faith. Do not be intimidated by failure because bad times will come but every turbulence will work together for your good. Amen.

10.       Service: in your journey to new experience just bear in mind that honour comes to those who serve him diligently (Jn 12:26), Also guarantee blessing, longlife, fruitfulness in the place of service Ex 23:25-26. And prosperity comes only to servants too ps 35:27.
