Today marks the beginning of many things. This is the 8th day of the 8th month of the year 2008 – 888. Olympics start today. Many couples are going to get married today. Vows are made today. Pledges will be made today. Also many Chinese will be going to be wearing all red today and praying to their god of prosperity for good luck and fortune. This is a very significant day for almost every inhabitant of planet earth. It is much more significant to the Chinese because they believe that the number 8 is a number of prosperity because in the Chinese language 8 is pronounced as “fhat” which can mean “prosperous, lucky of full of fortune”.
The Biblical number for the number 8 is the number of NEW BEGINNINGS. The number 6 is the number of incompleteness, the number 7 is the number of completeness and fullness, 8 is the number of new beginnings. This year’s theme for the Grace Assemblies churches is New Beginnings and New Trends in Taking Dominion.
I was just sitting in my room last night and reading the Bible and thinking. I was looking back at the past 7 months of this year. “What have I done?” I thought to myself. What have I achieved so far? I knew some things in my life have to change or else I won’t be able to move on. I have taken dominion over quite a few things in my life so far but there are still more things which I need to conquer. This may be surprising to many but I want to be transparent to you, I have not been consistent with my walk in God this year. In fact I think my walk with God last year was stronger. Having said that, I am still hot for Jesus. I haven’t grown cold for God and the ministry. One thing that I want to take dominion in is my walk with Jesus.
There are things in your life which you need to take dominion over. Thoughts, plans, habits, wrongdoings and those of the like needs to be captured and placed at the foot of the Cross. Start something new, do something in your life to take dominion over such abominations.
How are we to take dominion over the world for Jesus if we have not even taken dominion of our own life? When I say take dominion I am not saying that you have full control of your life but I am saying that you train yourself up to listen not to the voice of the world but to the voice of God and willingly and lovingly do what God commands. If we are still so caught up in the offers of this world, we have not taken dominion of our desires. If we are still not having a constant prayer life, we have not taken dominion of our prayer time with God. Look at yourself and see to the things that needs to be changed and taken dominion over.
You can only start anew once the old has gone. There is no other time better than today to reconsider your life. Pray for a new beginning in your life. Pray for a renewed relationship with God. Pray for a new and burning passion for the Lord Jesus. Pray for a new hunger and thirst for the Word of God. Pray for a new burdened heart for the lost.
PRAY FOR A GREAT AWAKENING.
O, Lord... Open up our eyes...

The Watchmen
www.zlwin.comWatchmen watches what no one watches and does what no one does. They would lay down their lives watching and protecting. They stand guard over the people that needs them but do not want them. They take up responsibilities which otherwise no one would want. Do you want to be a watchman? "What does it matter..." you ask.
