VOMITED SAFELY AT DESTINATION 2023

VOMITED SAFELY AT DESTINATION 2023!

Brethren, we've been conveyed all through the thick and thin of the waters but now we've been vomited at the shore. 

That reminds me of a shocking narrative in the Bible. Prophet Jonah wouldn't go but after experiencing what it means to battle with the Lord, he willingly had himself offered so that the buffeting wind would stop. And it does stop. 

Meanwhile, as he was arriving into the waters (having been thrown into it), he was as well swallowed up by a waiting vehicle. This whale has been given directives on what to do with him. It's never to squash or eat him up but rather to keep him safe in itself and convey him from where he had dropped to where he should be. 

How many of us knows that in every journey there's always a destination? There is! Jonah had his and that was Nineveh. When his vehicle would drop him, it took him towards his destination and vomited him there. At the vomiting of Jonah, arrival was made. Imagine what the vehicle passed through in the sea before arrival. That submarine ship used three days and three nights before arrival at the shore. No wonder, you and I had to use a whole 365 days before we reached destination 2022 which was the border line and cross over into destination 2023.

God of Last Year is the God of this Year. What I promise you (as from the Lord) is safety. You may note that down. His mouth has spoken it. If today, there's a decree and a change in the counting of days but that 365 days has become 665 days, you'll still be conveyed, transported safely and vomited at the shore. It's not how long or turbulent the year is; it's about He in whose belly and mind you occupy. Have you stopped being the thought in God's mind? No, He's still mindful of you (Psalm 8:4). He watches each of your step to ensure at last, what happens is that you're vomited at the shore and arrival is made. 

Jonah 2:10, KJV

"...and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land."

What's the shore? Land adjoining a non-flowing body of water, such as an ocean, lake or pond. When a ship arrives at the shore, it sure has ended its journey and I can't but thank God that we've both ended 2022 together and arrive 2023 together. Meanwhile, our being vomited at the shore of the sea means an arrival at a New Year's gate that we have to summon and surmount. When Jonah made arrival at the shore, he didn't wait, sit, sleep or die there. He rather travelled from there into DESTINATION. He immediately went for NINEVEH. He climbed up to it and took it for God. There's a task to accomplish and that's why you've been brought into 2023. Don't die at the shore. From the shore, journey into the city and explore and conquer the numerous in 2023. When the battle line was drawn between the Philistines and Israel and the daring was fierce, we were told this below:

I Samuel 17:48, KJV 

"And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine."

You see. David ran to meet the Philistine just the way Jonah didn't delay to go to take Nineveh. Nineveh was three days journey but he began to enter it as one (Jonah 3:3-4). Please, be up to the task. Arise and take 2023. It has drawn near you, draw near it and pick it up and live it out to God's glory and man's benefit. 

Yours in the New Ship,
