WHERE DO YOU CAMP? IN THE PAST OR THE FUTURE


I met a guy whom I contested election with, but the election did not have a conclusive end because of election malpractices that was being perpetuated by unknown people he was working with. He knew that the election result will not go his way, so he used the unknown bodies in his favour, but still yet things did not go his way which then resulted to cancellation of the election.
When I met him recently, he told me that the next time he would go in for election he will kill anybody that will stand on his way.
So, you could see that this fellow life is still trapped in the past and believes and even want it to remain that way. God has said in his word that: “while the earth remaineth, seed and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22 (KJV) that means “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7 (KJV)
It is very necessary for us to know that if we sow in the good old days, in the past we are going to reap the past. Jesus Christ did not come to change the past laws (laws of Moses) but to improve on these laws to respond to present and future realities. It does not mean we should discard the past but don’t remain in your past.
Do not also labour in your past but use your past as a reference point for self-examination for future success. What have you planted in the past and still watering till now? If it does not conform to future realities, then it is time to uproot and replant futuristic realities that will affect humanity and give glory to God. For Paul said that: “...and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour” 1 Corinthians 3:8B (KJV)
What you start doing from this point will determine your reward and the kind of reward you will receive at the end.
