IN 2019 ... AIM HIGH ... STOP MAKING EXCUSES

Hallelujah ! Join me to give thanks to the Lord for the last day of the year 2018.

= IN 2019 ... AIM HIGH ... STOP MAKING EXCUSES ... TAKE RESPONSIBILITY =

7 advices to close the year before you cross the next year 

1) When you have committed sin, don't make excuses by accusing others or the circumstances but take responsibility by repenting. Then, you will be forgiven and free. (Read *Proverbs 28:13*)

2) When you have wronged someone (spouse, colleague,...), don't make excuses but take responsibility of your mistakes by saying sorry. Reconciliation is more important than your explanations.( Read *Hebrews 12:14*)

3) When you are rebuked about a bad habit or a bad behaviour, don't be proud by making excuses but take responsibility by receiving humbly the rebuke and allowing yourself to change. (Read *Revelation 3:19*)

4) When you have failed, don't try to make excuses by looking for who to blame. Take responsibility. Admit it. Learn from it. Try again. Do better. ( Read *Luke 5:5*

5) Don't look for excuses to get out of your marriage by yourself. Take responsibility by submitting not to your feelings and emotions but to the authority of  the Word. Allow yourself to be taught by your pastor and let God show you the way forward. (Read *Matthew 5:32*)

6) When God instructs you, he expects obedience not excuses. ( Read *1 Samuel 15:22*)

7) When you are weak in a specific area (prayer, reading of the Bible, commitment to spiritual endeavours, sexual, financial, ...), don't make excuses. Take responsibility by working things out. Talk to your pastor. Ask for advice, guidance and prayer. Partner with someone who is stronger than you in that specific area and work to become stronger.  (Read *Proverbs 27:17*)
