​​JULY 2023 | EVERYONE IS MOVING FORWARD, WHAT ABOUT YOU?

Greetings from The Mugisas! We love you, we pray for you and with you. We wish you well.

Praise, honor and glory be unto God who has made it possible for each of us to cross over into July, 2023. 

As far as this year is concerned, we will never go back to June, May, April, March, February or January. We are instead going forward into August, September, October, November and December. What we have seen, we have seen and what we are yet to see, we shall see. What we did, we did and what we are yet to do, we will do. Do you get it? I believe you do.

Think about this:

Everyone is moving forward just as time is. Please don't stay in one place. You might not have enough resources including fuel and energy to keep on moving but just keep going forward even if it means crawling there. Mark some spots for yourself so that you can clearly look back and recognize where you moved from, where you are and where you are going next.

I speak red-hot fire (hot to the tune of 7 times the hottest of fires) upon anything that is preventing you from moving forward. I know that some of us know how we have suffered to get to where we are at the moment. Unfortunately, the world does not care about our past but the present and future. If you are well off or fine, you will have many people around you whether they know you or not. But should you be "badly off or not good enough, then, you will only have just those who can stand with you for who you are and you must be grateful to God for people who are with you and will be with you for everyday.

One of the reasons I am really thankful to God is that He has lifted me from nothing to something; from grass to grace and from nobody to Somebody. We were ten lepers but I think I am that one who keeps coming back to give thanks to God and there is no pride in this. There is every drop of humility in what I am writing not that it squarely applies to me but to everyone who feels that they too, are thankful to God for whatever breakthrough they have in life.

Let me give a few insights into what will help us advance through the month and those to come:

1.   Let go and let God reign

There is no way you will advance if you are holding onto the deficiencies from/in your past. You, perhaps started a business and it didn't work out as expected. Let go. You entered into a relationship and it didn't last even a week, let go. You bought a new phone and it was stolen or snatched from you within a short time, let go. Your employment was terminated without any justification and nobody wanted to listen to you despite the fact that you have the right to fair hearing, let go. You lost a spouse or close relative whom you had so much hope in regarding your future, let go. Do you know why you should let go? The one who created you has your life inscribed in the palm of his righteous mighty right hand. He will never let you drop to the ground.

2.   Everyone else has issues, not just you

Believe me or not, everyone has issues. You think you have issues? We too have issues. An issue could be a problem or challenge that you are facing that makes you feel like giving up on life. Hold on. If possible, take a deliberate walk to a medical or prison facility... You will be amazed at how many people are in pain because they want to leave and live life but they cannot because those in charge think it is not yet time to leave. If they left, they wouldn't live a day. If they left, they would have more issues. Be grateful if you have some issues. There are those who have incomprehensible issues. And again, don't be proud. Just be grateful.

3.   Tomorrow is better than today

No doubt, by faith, tomorrow is better than today because today is better than yesterday. Positivity is the true driver of life rather than lamentation. The world keeps moving forward. We want to see progress and not retardation. What you see and perceive in your mind is in mot cases what you become. If you can look beyond your wage or monthly salary; rent for the month, transport to the next destination or food for your next meal, then you will never despair. It's all about faith, hope and love and the greatest of all is love. Let’s pray that the joy you had yesterday and today shall be multiplied or tripled today and the days to come and that the challenges you faced today or in the most recent past shall cease or be wiped away from your spirit, body and soul.

If I continue beyond this point, I will be participating in limiting your advancement to the next item. Cheers. Have a fulfilling and fruitful July.
