Topic: GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY (Part 1)

Bible Text: “A dog eats what it throws up. And a foolish person repeats his foolishness.” – Proverbs 26:11, ICB.

One of the major reasons many are not living well is that they have refused to break free from the mistakes and errors of yesterday.

Many of us have allowed the mistakes we made yesterday to define what we can and should do today. We keep seeing ourselves and our possibilities through the eyes of our mistakes.

We are supposed to learn lessons from our mistakes and become wiser. They are not supposed to be scars in our lives, whereby each time we remember them, we become deflated and lose our joy and passion. God is saying to you today, rise above your mistakes. There is so much God wants to do with you, don’t become a captive of your past. God is not focused on your past, no matter how horrible it was. He is with you now, and his interest is in your future. So choose to see what God sees and walk with him every day.

1. If you are afraid to make mistakes, you will never grow.

Topic: GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY (Part 2)

Bible Text: “I am the one who forgives all your sins. I do this to please myself. I will not remember your sins.” – Isaiah 43:25, ICB.

Until the past losses its controlling power over your life, you deny yourself the many awesome things God wants to do with you and in you. If your yesterday negatively controls your today, it will be difficult to discern or identify the will of God for you now. (Romans 12:2). This is because while you are using yesterday’s experiences to define your life today, God uses his understanding of your future to speak about your today. So, when your perspective doesn’t align with him, even when he is speaking clearly to you, you can not discern or understand.

Until God can bring you to his level of thinking, there is so little you can profit from him. So this is one of the assignments of God’s word; to bring us to God’s way of thinking so that we will begin to see ourselves, situations, and others from God’s perspective.

WISDOM PUSH

1. A key difference between great and average people is how they see mistakes.
2. Don’t be ashamed of your mistakes; they contribute to your success.
3. You are not your mistakes; you are your possibilities.
