Healing Your Land

Everyone has a land for themselves. Now you’re thinking that I’m sucking up wind. Yes, we all have our own lands. Our lands are our businesses, our places of work, our families and possessions, and much more. Our “lands” could be crumbling around us right now, somewhere where you do not want to be right now. But unfortunately you are busy losing everything. Why? Your ways of living and your wrongful and sinful lifestyle may be destroying everything you have lived for. Satan has been ruling your heart, your mind and your soul for years now. How do you turn this all around? 2 Chronicles 7:14 offers us a great answer, the best answer ever – “If my people, who are called by my Name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Wow! What an answer! Only God can offer us such an answer, and a way out of our “land’s” destruction, whatever it may be.

Your business may be in dire straits, your marriage could be hitting the rocks, and so on… this is your land. How do you mend it before total disaster kicks in and destruction ends it all? By being transformed and renewed. How? Repenting of your past and present sinful life and humbling yourselves before God, and becoming new creations as pleases Him, striving for righteousness and becoming believers in Jesus Christ. In this way you can save your land or lands which you have been given; your business, your marriage and family, and whatever else you have been blessed with. A few years ago I lost everything and my “land” was gone. My marriage remained intact though and my family remained together. My lands were cut in half, a failed business and partnership that turned disastrous and completely ruined me financially. And today? I am living a wonderful life again, running a new business and blessed by God.

Somewhere along the path of life I lost touch with my first love, allowing the world to draw me in. I was still a believer and a Christian, but I allowed my life structures to be weaken by other things; and the devil found a way in. I was hurt, paining and disappointed with myself, and God. But I realised what happened and discovered the truth. What was my response? I humbled myself and turned to my Creator, asking forgiveness and turned back to Him in a big way, which is still my lifestyle today. He healed my ”land” and restored me once again. I became totally transformed in His ways and allowed God to take me on this new journey; and Jesus Christ was my most important goal in my life – the best relationship grew from it all. My relationship with my loving and graceful God. My heart, mind and soul were transformed forever. In Romans 12:2 I discovered my new me; “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world; but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.” That’s me today.

My life is blessed today. Is yours? Are you feeling your “land or lands” crumbling around you right now? Make that decision today and turn it all around. My priorities in life are as follows… first my God, then my family and lastly my business. Many think I’m crazy! I know better though. God provides! He provides the food for my mind and soul, my spiritual growth. He provides my needs to see my family as a blessing from Him; love, strength and support. He provides my business with everything I need. I’m still in the growth process, now five years later. Where do you stand right now? Need more support or help?
