Dear friend, Success and good fortune is your birth right as well as your responsibility and despite the recent economic trends, I am very optimistic that as a seed of Abraham, you have continued to wax great and have truly been blessed.
Allow me at this juncture introduce the subject of my article today and say; Mazel tov! Congratulations! do not wait to see your victory, declare it now with your words, its a done deal already its manifestation is awaiting your declaration.
'Mazal tov or Mazel tov (Hebrew: מזל טוב) literally means "good fortune" in Hebrew. This phrase has been incorporated into Yiddish as "mazal tov," and is now used in Modern Hebrew to express "congratulations" for a happy and significant occasion or event.
The expression comes from the Mishnaic Hebrew mazzāl, meaning "constellation" or "destiny." This in turn is thought to have derived from the Akkadian language manzaltu, mazzaztum. In Israel, "Mazal Tov" is used for all sorts of happy occasions, whether they be a new driver's license, a birthday, or the end of an IDF service. Another common use is to acknowledge a bad event or experience being over - for example, after a very hard test'.(Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia; 09/05/09 at 17:07)
Many of us have experienced new beginnings and many are on their brink of experiencing them. It could be passing your test/exam, marriage, having a child, becoming born again, bad ordeal over, starting your own business, whatever it is, I would like to say; Mazel tov!
And,
With new beginnings come new challenges, opportunities, excitement and also the unknown. God orchestrates our new beginnings and we simply have to walk in them. Be of good cheer, God is faithful and will never leave you nor forsake you.
I am very sure that you have or will arrive at this moment in your life with diligence, hard work, obedience to God and a quest for a better and more fulfilling life. your experiences, careful planning and action orientation have without a doubt also brought you this far and you rightly deserve it.
I also know that you are smart, focused and result oriented, this qualities have defined your progress so far and you should hold steadfast unto them, nurturing them further. There is nothing you can't achieve if you truly put your mind and heart unto it.
I am very sure most of you have received wise counsel and direction along the way, especially from your mentors and those who love and care about you; parents, friends, siblings, spouses to mention but a few, this is so because no one succeeds alone, we need each other.
With great success comes great responsibility. The Scriptures say that; 'to whom much is given, much will be required of him'. Let us embrace the spirit of excellence and be good stewards of the heavenly treasure in our possession and lets maximise every opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
Lets be salt and light in our communities, cease to listen to instruction that cause us to er from knowledge, edify each other and above all lets be our selves. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said:'To be your self in the world that is constantly trying to make you something else, is the greatest accomplishment'. Your true self is found in your relationship to God through Jesus Christ, You are a seed of Abraham.
In God, you will do great exploits, your life will be a wonder to many, you can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth you, nothing should be hard for you. Every day, expect the best and with Gods help you will attain the best.
In closing today, Keep this constantly in your mind; Psalm 118:8 and also remember that, its God who gives you the power to create wealth, keep your hand open and He will continuously make deposits in it as you allow withdrawals to be made by others less fortunate, through your open hand.
I love you and my prayer for you is that, you go and be the best you can be, live in abundance and in the fullness of Gods grace and Word. May the sun shine gently on your face and may God keep you safely in the Palms of His Hands. Till we meet again right here next time, be sure to look after yourself, I will not say good bye but see you later. Mazel tove!
Peace N Love
