INSPO || 2018: THE REAL-DEAL GOAL, ALL YEAR LONG.

Hello Royalty!

I haven’t had the chance to say a happy new year here on the blog, so I use this first post of the year as an opportunity. HAPPY NEW YEAR! What a time to be alive, right? Of recent, I was talking to a friend about how 2018 feels so different. I observed that a lot of people are more positive about this year, than they were in 2017, both offline and online. Did you observe same? And are you more positive about the year?

As 2017 drew to a close, I sat, as usual, to make some plans for 2018. After making all of those plans here and there, I heard an instruction in my spirit to build greater intimacy with God this year.  I also read Psalm 63 as led. When I went to church on the 31st for the Crossover Service, the same thing was preached, with emphasis on the importance of studying God’s Word. Before then, I had compiled my reading list for the month of January, and my first book is Guidelines to Effective Personal Bible Study by Faith A. Oyedepo. Just yesterday, I was checking my mailbox and one of the newsletters I received, from one of my favourite blogs, focused on studying God’s Word as a key that will unlock a new us this new year. Because guess what? None of those goals to grow in deeper intimacy with God will happen by accident.

So, I kicked off my conscious study of God’s Word this morning, and I can already see the light at the end of the tunnel. It might not be so easy. But you know what? Nothing of value comes “so easy”, so we better get to work, right?

Do you already know what you want in 2018? And how you are going to get them? It’s not just to have a goal; it’s wiser to know how to achieve it, and it’s wisest to do all that the goal requires of you.

Apart from all other goals and plans, my real-deal goal isn’t perfection, my real-deal goal is to grow in deeper intimacy with God this year. What’s your real-deal goal? What are your other goals? Do you also know what to do to achieve them? If you don’t, have you prayed about how to? Have you sought counsel? It’s already 362 days left. Let’s kick off and do the best we can!

 

PS: My new book, Deep Roots Devotional, is still up for grabs! Check it out HERE. If you live outside Nigeria, you can simply search “deep roots devotional” or “alexandra zion” on Amazon to grab a copy. Happy New Year again!

 

Goodbye Royalty,

With Overflowing Love,

Alexandra Zion.
