Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Greetings to you in the matchless name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
We are into a new year and many of us might have set plans and goals for the
year. I would like to give you Eph.4:1 as motto for the year. “Lead a life
worthy of your calling for you have been called by God”.
Every year we all are usually have a feeling of incredulity at the expedience
by which another year has come and gone. So, with a new year upon us and
quickly becoming history, how do we make it more "successful" than past
ones? How do we accomplish those things we want and strive to do what we
are called to do?
Let me tell you this, every year isn't just a new calendar on the wall or anumerical change in a date. It is an opportunity for transformation, a chance
to do away with improper behavior and a time to have a revolutionary year.
Let us re-evaluate our relationship with God, our actions toward others and
the path we are walking. Some of us may be struggling with our "old" self
which hampers our effort to grow in the Lord. Maybe our "old" consists of
friends who encourage us to stumble, maybe they are habits we haven't
completely given up, or maybe they are ways we continue to act or improperly
react. And these may be stymieing your growth or plans (no matter howsmall or big it may seem) and we are unaware of that.
Let every moment be a time of spiritual growth. Jesus said to the young man
who came to Him, you lack one thing. (Lk.18:22). When many of us first
heard or read this verse, we probably flinched. I know I did. In order to follow
Jesus, I had to sell everything I had and give the money away? For the rich
young ruler, to whom Jesus was speaking, it was exactly what was meant.
Jesus' lesson and desire for us is to purge our lives of anything and everything
that stands in the way of our relationship and our devotion to him. This versemay be literally speaking to some of us, needing to rid ourselves of all worldly
possessions, however, there are likely other areas in our life Jesus want us to
free ourselves of.
If this was re-written specifically for us it may say, "Break off that relation-
ship (or unrelenting search of one) and follow me," "Quit your endless quest
for ‘more' and follow me," "Stop that behavior and follow me," or "Give up
living for yourself and follow me." It is so easy to get caught up in everydaylife, placing "God" on hold (or pushing Him to the side), while we seek for
"something" with our own power, mind and worldly desires.
Lead a life worthy of our calling, let this be our
motto for the year. May God bless you.
George Joseph Achen.
