Welcome

An interesting map is on display in the British Museum in London. It's an old Mariner's chart, drawn in 1525, outlining the North American coastline and adjacent waters.

The cartographer made some intriguing notations on areas of the map that represented regions not yet explored. He wrote: "Here be Giants", "Here be dragons", and "Here be fiery scorpions".

Eventually, the map came into the possession of Sir John Franklin, a British explorer in the early 1800s. Scratching out the fearful inscriptions, he wrote these words across the map: "HERE IS GOD".

As we bigin this new month, we must forget the impossibities of the past and focus on what God has promised to do in the future. He who keeps his focus on the past will either be stagnant or move backward.

The only thing that should make you look back is the quest to find out the mistakes you made in the past with the resolve to correct them, or checking back to improve on the things you've done in the previous months. This will help you to improve personally and in your work as a person.

Though we live in a world that is unpredictable and is filled with uncertainties, we have a God who knows the end from the beginning. The angry, bitter, and painful words spoken against us in the past month must be allowed to pass with it. None of them should be allowed or cross with us into the new month. Allowing them into the new month with you will not only make you stagnant but also constitute a channel of destruction and unfulfillment for the month. If you really want to have a fulfilled and successful month, you'll be doing yourself much good by dropping every negative vibe and thought as you enter the new month.

We must equally bury the old negative thoughts, speak positively to our future and allow God be in charge during the moments of our deepest fears. We must shape the month and future with positive words because words are very powerful.

Take up a new thought and mindset. The state of your mind determines how far you'll go. Position your mind and heart to only believe the good things and blessings you want to see come to fulfilment in this new month. Cheer up and stay on course in your heart, never derail from that posture of success. A negative mind will never achieve success because it does not have the posture required for success.

Outline your goals and ambitions for the month. Make sure you write them down, because this gives you a sense of urgency and seriousness. Then draw out a plan for how to achieve the goals set out already.

Then ACT. Plans without action will never be actualized. Start off with the adequate and accurate action required.

The failure, disappointment, distress, pain and destruction of the past month will surely give way to progress and success this new month.

Let me leave you with this verse in the Bible.

"Behold,I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert" (Isaiah 43:19)

You have nothing to worry about.

Happy New Month
