ODM TOPIC: REAR MIRROR VIEW IS SMALLER! – 2
CLICK HERE TO READ Scripture for Today Prayers and Declarations
Oh! Welcome! The Holy Ghost wants you to know that: There’s a reason why your windshield is bigger than your rearview mirror. Where you are headed is much more important than what you left! No matter how 2024 or your past life has been, forget the PAINFUL PAST OF MISTAKES AND MISSED OPPORTUNITIES! The LORD is saying to someone: Forget the past! Look to the future! Progress lies ahead! Leave yesterday’s baggage behind! Release yesterday; seize today! All the past can do is hold you back! What does not kill you makes you stronger! You’re stronger today because of your past. There’s no reason to go back! KEEP MOVING! Now is the first moment of the rest of your life! WHO HAS NOT MADE A MISTAKE? Even I, Bishop Chris in this my almost 50 years of running this race, have made many mistakes! AND THEY ARE ALWAYS “BIG” ONES! So, wipe your tears, stop feeling inferior and MOVE ON! WELCOME TO THE CLUB WHERE ALL GREAT MEN/WOMEN PASS THROUGH – a place of delays, betrayals, disappointments, great mistakes and sometimes, losses! The past is an anchor; cut it free and set sail to a better tomorrow. Be an arrow (it fires forward always), not a boomerang (whatever fires backwards)! Close the book on your past and start a new novel adventure! You didn’t leave anything behind that will help you to move on! This was the emphasis of today’s scripture Verses 18– 19: “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” Always remember: Your windshield (front glass) is always bigger than your rearview mirror! Where you’re headed is much more important than what you left! Hold on and hold out! You will sing a new song! November 15th is my Birthday! Your Eleventh hour miracle is my Birthday gift. Look up!
PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 1: What a friend we have…
- In your own words, pray about today’s word as led.
- The windshield (front glass) is always bigger than
the rearview mirror! Where I am going is much
more important than what I left! I choose to focus on
my tomorrow! - Declare Isaiah 49: 18-19 now! LORD, do a new thing, despite
my past or delays! I SCATTER depression and REGRETS over
the past! (Pray it seriously now). - Pray about the remaining days of 2024! PRAY IN TONGUES!
- Pray about any other issue(s) affecting your peace.
HYMN
1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge–
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he’ll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.
