THIS OCTOBER, THE PAST MUST BE PAST

Post date: Sep 30, 2019 12:47:14 PM

God does not want us to continue in sorrows of the past disappointments, in sorrows of the past pains, in sorrows of the past wickedness of men against us, in sorrows of the past afflictions of the devil and his agents. he wants our past to e done with, He wants our past to be forgotten, He wants our past not to be our hindrance and He wants a new testimony from us that will surpass all of our past in glorious ways. When the past becomes a hindrance, life becomes painful, dreams and desires are stopped and we become weak and feel unfulfilled. The Almighty God has all the powers to do all things and He is always willing and able to take our past away irrespective of its nature, willing to heal us from their effects on our bodies irrespective of the pains we have in any way suffered, heal its effects on our spiritual lives, and heal our soul. He is willing to redeem us and restore us, and sustain us in His goodness.

Irrespective of our past pains and present status, this month, God has a better plan and a better future to unfold for us and He will do it. The past must pass for the future to begin. Shame of the past, hindrances of the past, humiliations of the past, loneliness of the past, fears of the past, abuses of the past, lack of the past, confusions of the past, uncertainties of the past and all the difficulties and disappointments of the past must give way this month for the blessings that will bring the brighter, the promised and the better future to begin. For the new to begin, the pas must be removed and this is what God said concerning the past, the proverbs and the new. “The word of the Lord came to me again saying, what do you mean by using this proverb concerning the land of Israel, the fathers eat sour grapes, they sin, but the children’s teeth are set on edge? As I live says the Lord God, you are certainly not going to use this proverb as an excuse in Israel anymore. Behold, pay close attention, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul who sins will die.” Ezekiel 18:1-4

The devil has been using excuses from your past and that of your parents past to harm, afflict and mistreat you; people close and far have been using excuses from your past to humiliate and hinder and accuse and deny you what you deserve and desire and pray for and expect, but from this month, every excuse used by men or the devil to afflict you, to hinder you, to punish you and to humiliate you will no longer be used. The past must be buried, should and will never be used as the source of your shame, of your pains and of your afflictions again. God does not want us to continue in your pst sin or in your past wickedness and He does not want us to be afflicted by the past or the present sins of your parents or family members. The main reason Jesus Christ came to the world was to give man new beginning, to give man new hope, to give man new vision, and to give man reason to trust the Almighty God for the new and the future destiny.

When our past, irrespective of its nature is taken away in our lives by the power of God’s love through forgiveness and mercy by Christ Jesus, the road will be cleared, the doors that had held us back will be opened and the grace that had eluded us from our future will be restored for the future to begin, for the testimonies of His goodness and faithfulness in our lives to be heard and the expectations of our hearts will be fulfilled. The past of Jabez’s parents did not affect him and the past of your parents will not affect you. Sin is a hindrance to God’s plans for our lives, it is a hindrance to the manifestation of God’s fullness and stopper of God’s special blessings in our lives. Every wickedness we are engaged in will be a destruction to our own good dreams and the best we can ever or will ever desire for ourselves. “Do not remember the former things, or ponder the things of the past. Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, now it will spring forth, will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, rivers in the desert. The beasts of the field will honor Me, Jackals and ostriches, because I have given waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen.” Isaiah 43:8-21.
