Better second half 2019 (2)


“It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23

Yesterday, I shared about fresh power, fresh wisdom and fresh grace as part of what is needed to make the second half of this year better. Today, I will be sharing the other four, which are new mercy, new helpers, new insights and new actions.

1.    New mercy. Psalms 90:14 says, “O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” The appearance of mercy is equivalent to disappearance of judgement. When mercy comes, it comes with two body guards: timely help and favour. Mercy precedes joy and gladness. May you enjoy new mercy in this second half.
2.    New helpers. Amos 7:2 says,” And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord God, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.” Helpers of destiny are needed for a change of status. The appearance of a right helper is the end of smallness.  You have eaten grass long enough, it is time for you to eat honey and drink milk. May the helpers that will make it happen for you appear in this second half.
3.    New insights. Acts 26:19 says, “Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:” May you receive fresh insights. You cannot act or grow beyond the level of insight you have in any area of your life. The way you handle your business and career will change if you have fresh insight. May you receive fresh insight this second half in Jesus name.
4.     New actions. Acts 26:20 says, “But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.” The moment Paul received fresh insight, his action changed. He stopped to kill Christians, he started to preach Christ. When you receive fresh insight, your corresponding action will change positioning you for better success in life and business.
In this second half, you shall recover all, your oppressors shall be subdued, God shall make crooked places straight and give you wealth and prosperity in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: Oh God, let me experience the best of you in this second half of 2019 in Jesus name.
