Welcome to Episode 21 to say gratitude 👋 ✌🏽 to 2021 & welcome to 2022!
I don’t know about you but I’m feeling 22! Lol! Giving God all the glory for this work in 2021!
The way you leave one season is really important to how you enter the new one: don’t put new wine into old wine skin.
“Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins…” (Matthew 9:17 NIV).”
“what you leave in 2021 & what you take with you into 2022 really decides what your year is going to look like”@Real Talk Kim!
So as You’re about to take on the new year here are my 5 life Tips for success in 2022 & beyond:
ONE: Relationships: You must first have a relationship with God, if you don’t already have one, start now, if you do then stay connected! Matthew 6:33 33 But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.
A relationship with God will allow evidence of His kingdom to be added to your life in the earth! Which gives you great power to live this life abundantly as He intends for us.
Additionally, we are not alone in this world and we must have some sort of encounter with people from family to those in public. Decide how you will do it. For example; Be compassionate & tolerant first, Forgive quickly, share a smile, help where you can, move away when you should if you’re not improving the person’s quality of life or vice versa, be grateful & appreciate those who are there for you and bless & love those who oppose/ fight you! All scriptural!
TWO: Prepare: As mentioned previously in my podcast; Consider the cost of everything, plan if you can, even for emergencies & possible Senarios before they occur. The wise virgins were not caught off guard because they were prepared (Matthew 25) John prepared the way for Jesus’ arrival… so many events were successful because we planned and prepared for them. Your preparations may not always be perfect, as things can go wrong, but they help cushion the blow if you at least expect the possibilities!
We as believers are constantly preparing for when Jesus comes back for us; so that’s why Christianity is a daily lifestyle and not a seasonal act!
THREE: Learn: Look for the lesson in everyday and everything and learn them to make yourself improve always, do professional development trainings, courses, read books of value, learn a skill from YouTube videos if you may. What’s most important is that you KEEP ON LEARNING!
Live out proverbs 4:7 which says “
“The beginning of wisdom is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent]!
And with all your acquiring, get understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation].(A)”
FOUR: Stability: proverbs 11 states a false balance in an abomination…” 11 A false balance and dishonest business practices are extremely offensive to the Lord, But an accurate scale is His delight.”
Create structure and order in your life and balance all key areas so you’re not burned out or abandoning key areas of life such as family, finances, fun and leisure, career…at the expense of others.
FIVE: Lastly, Do everything you want to do to Avoid regret and envy, Just do it! This is my prayer; you may hesitate and waste time but later realize you have missed the opportunities and then you may look at someone who did the opposite (they Cape Diem-Ed)-my version- and seize the moments of life!
Psalms 90:11 states “So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.”
Which simply means to use wisely all the time we have! So go forth now and have a great year applying these tips!
C’est bon? Sounds good!
