What Happened to You on December 18?

“Think about this 18th
day of December, the day when the foundation of the Lord ’s Temple was laid. Think carefully. I am giving you a promise now while the seed is still in the barn. You have not yet harvested your grain, and your grapevines, fig trees, pomegranates, and olive trees have not yet produced their crops. But from this day onward I will bless you.” (Haggai 2:18, 19 NLT)

Caught this verse from Haggai from Steven Furtick's post and it really interested me a lot that I pondered on it.
I wanted to makr every opportunity to note or post about God's promises not just so I can remind Him but so I could remind myself, too. Because between me and God, I'm a lot more forgetful!

Haggai speaks about December 18 year wayyyyy back then when God emphasized to remember the day and promised to bless His people.

To personalize this verse, I thought of what significant things happened to me on Dec 18 and I was amazed at how pivotal that day was. :)

First is the work related Proof of Concept that I was doing since December 16 actually came to completion on Dec 18! That's my 1st ever POC, I take note! I feel so fruitful that after months of studying in theory and practicing in demo environments, I finally got to configure successfully for an end user's network. Okay dont wanna get technical but the point is, just like what the verse says, after a long time of sowing and persistent waiting and hardwork, I will start to see the fruits! And I'm just claiming verse 19 which says that God will bless me from that day onwards!!! Bring it on Lord, You said it!

Another thing is Dec 18 evening, I got to meet with Harvie, Eizza and their brother Herald, just to hear wisdom on how to manage a business. Oh my word, can hardly believe I'm gonna manage a business soon! These guys just poured on me wisdom I wouldn't get from anybody else so personal! So aside from being blessed technically, I was blessed personally as the counsel I got doesn't just apply to career bit to dear life on general. And so I'm claiming too that God's blessing of wisdom will overflow from Dec 18 onwards.

Nah, I was emphasizing Dec 18 much because it was a KAIROS moment that a verse from the Bible described a day in my life. But the truth is I will and have always been blessed. God's so good all the time!
