THIS IS A CRUCIAL MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE

And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment (I Chronicles 12:32).
The men of Issachar had a gift that is crucial to anyone who will fulfill his or her destiny. They had understanding of the times, they knew what Israel ought to do. Do you know what to do to fulfill destiny? Faithfulness to God and unconditional obedience to His commands.
This ability to discern the time and to know what Israel ought to do is the secret behind doing the right thing at the right time, which is critical to your success in life.

This is a very crucial moment of your life and it is critical for you to understand this season of your life and to know exactly what you ought to do. It does not matter what happened in your life yesterday. By yesterday, I mean the day you were born right up to this moment. My friend, yesterday is gone and there is nothing you can do about it. Rather than sitting down, bemoaning what happened in your yesterday – what you ought to have done and what you ought not to have done – you should rise up and face the glorious tomorrow that God has set before you.
Yes, God has a glorious future ahead for you, no matter what happened in your yesterday. He said:
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11). However, if that glorious tomorrow is going to be, it is up to you. You have to take 100% responsibility for your life and stop blaming anybody: your spouse, friend, pastor, children, any person, any government, any employer or employee for what is happening to you. Until you take 100% responsibility in taking charge of your life and begin to chart your course towards the glorious tomorrow God has for you, nothing will change. But the moment you take 100% responsibility and begin to take decisions based on your fellowship with God, things will begin to look bright.
This is what God says in His Word.

Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 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 43:18-19).
God wants to begin to do a new thing in your life. Would you begin to discern it? Would you begin to take responsibility for it? Would you turn away from the man whom you have blamed for so long and begin to follow God’s direction for your life? Step out by faith into your better tomorrow, for now is your day of grace. Tomorrow may be too late.

Four Other Things

1. Theme for May 2021.
   Righteousness Exalts; Sin Diminishes: Proverbs 14:34.
2. Positive Mindset is a Grace from Heaven.
   The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads;  and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac;  and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
   (Gen.48:16)
   In life, you have various options: to think like a winner or think like a loser. To be a giver or a hoarder. To labor or to be favored. To make God or man your first priority. Life is a matter of choice. The choice you make today will determine your tomorrow.
   I have tried various options but now I know that: thinking like a winner, make God #1, be a giver, and to experience daily Divine favor are the best options. May you receive such grace in Jesus precious name.
   God will lift you up and set your feet on the high places. The angel of the Lord will redeem you from all evil. Winds of favor will rise from all corners of the world and locate you and favor you. Angels and men will compete to favor you. All your endeavors will yield bountiful harvests. All your delayed or hanging blessings will be released to you. The Holy Spirit will give you comfort. The hand of God will be on you for good. The grace of God will be sufficient for you. All your adversaries will be put to shame in the precious name of Jesus.
3. CHOOSE JOY & PEACE
   “Do everything without complaining.” Phil 2:14
   CHRONIC COMPLAINERS are almost impossible to be pleased/helped. You can never satisfy them but they won’t let you stop trying, so you end up feeling trapped. Once you get a reputation as a chronic complainer, people avoid you like the plague, and you end up feeling lonely and unappreciated. And chances are you’ll never really understand why! Attitudes don’t just happen—you choose them. Paul writes, “Rejoice in the Lord always” (Philippians 4:4) Joylessness is something many church folks are prone to indulge in, and it’s usually not the kind of problem that gets you tossed out of the choir or removed from the church board. The psalmist writes, “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24). Notice that he doesn’t say, “Yesterday was God’s day, how happy I was then.” Or, “Tomorrow will be God’s day, I’ll endure until then.” No, this day is a gift from God! Complaining is often self-centered; it’s about what you like and don’t like. It is self-focused. It is about me. It is ME, I, MYSELF MENTALITY
   Real joy is a choice. It comes to those who devote themselves to something greater than their own happiness. There are decisions you get to make every day, like what you eat, the clothes you wear—and the attitude you project. Paul was in prison with no hope of release when he wrote, “Rejoice in the Lord always.” His circumstances didn’t dictate his joy, his focus did! And the same goes for you. “Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Never Stop Giving. Never Stop Helping Others. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you because you belong to Christ Jesus”
