BIBLE TEXT: Luke 5:36-38
36 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
MESSAGE:
After Job lost all his possessions, children, and fame, God gave him a fresh start in the latter part of His life, A Yoruba adage says: “the palace that got burnt will be rebuilt in great splendour”. That unpleasant situation you have been through should not determine your end because there is a chance to start afresh now that you’re still young.
Jesus gave the adulterous woman a fresh start, and she became a vessel unto honour. Likewise, the thief on the right hand of Jesus at the cross also had a fresh start. Saul, who became Paul, had a fresh start. It is not possible to have committed a sin worse than these people, so you also can have a fresh start.
What you need may just be a new studying strategy from God. If you are tired of reading and not getting a pleasant result, God can turn it around and make it a new beginning for you.
Only God can give a fresh start, for Him to do so, surrender all to Him, obey His word, and be diligent in all you do.
KEY POINT
A fresh start is possible if only you give God a chance.
HYMN 6: I’m Pressing On The Upward Way
- I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining everyday;
Still praying as I onward bound
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
CHORUS
Lord, lift me up and let me stand,
By faith, on Heaven’s table-land;
Where love, and joy, and light abound,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
- My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise, and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My constant aim is higher ground. - Beyond the mist I fain would rise,
To rest beneath unclouded skies,
Above earth’s turmoil peace is found
By those who dwell on higher ground. - I long to scale the utmost height,
Though rough the way, and hard the fight,
My song, while climbing, shall resound
Lord, lead me on to higher ground. - Lord, lead me up the mountain side
I dare not climb without my Guide;
And, heaven gained, I’ll gaze around,
With grateful heart from higher ground.
