The days ahead will be awesome, wondrous and glorious days but only to those who choose to follow God wholly. As we come to the end of 2011 and enter a new season called 2012, my heart is concerned that many others and even myself may not see the fullness of what God has planned. You might wonder why I have included myself, but that is because I also have to pay the price if I want to win the prize allotted for me in 2012. I have made the choice to pay the price to succeed in all areas of endeavour.
One key to victory that will separate those who succeed from the rest is the ability to listen and hear God clearly. The days of depending on someone to hear God for you are over. God desires relationship with us but unfortunately we have relationships with everyone and everything else apart from our Creator. Even when we say we have a relationship with Him too many times we have shallow relationships with Him that cannot sustain the new season we are about to enter. Too many of us know about God but don't know God. Too many of us have become second hand believers as we rely on others to hear God as we are tone deaf to what God is saying.
A second vital key is to seek first the Kingdom of God. Let your passions in life in 2012 be fuelled by your desire to see the Kingdom of God manifested everywhere. Let your mind, heart, actions be consumed by the zeal of God to see His Kingdom and purposes established. Be hungry and thirsty for Him like never before. Only those who are lit by God will shine brightly and the key to being lit by God is to be one who passionately pursues Him. Let your life be one of worship to God and soon others will chase you asking about your God for He will manifest Himself supremely, superbly, and superlatively in your life. Have a great 2012 and I hope to see you on the winning side. May every blessing of God come your way in 2012.
