Topic: RUGGEDLY FORGET THE PAST!!
BASIC SCRIPTURES:
ISAIAH 43: 13-21; NAHUM1:9
13 Yes, and from ancient days I am he.
No one can deliver out of my hand.
When I act, who can reverse it?”
God’s Mercy and Israel’s Unfaithfulness
14 This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“For your sake I will send to Babylon
and bring down as fugitives all the Babylonians,[a]
in the ships in which they took pride.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,
Israel’s Creator, your King.”
16 This is what the Lord says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,
17 who drew out the chariots and horses,
the army and reinforcements together,
and they lay there, never to rise again,
extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:
18 “Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
20 The wild animals honor me,
the jackals and the owls,
because I provide water in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosen,
21 the people I formed for myself
that they may proclaim my praise.
NAHUM1:9
Whatever they plot against the Lord
he will bring to an end;
trouble will not come a second time.

It is easier said than done: FORGETTING THE PAST! Millions of men/women are trapped in the fear that anything familiar is safe. The past seems familiar, while the future looks risky. But today’s Basic Scripture says we should forget the past. Yes, tomorrow is a promissory note, but it’s a promise based on the God who owns the future and the past.
Robert Browing, a mighty writer, wrote many years ago that, “A MINUTE SUCCESS PAYS THE FAILURES OF YESTERYEARS.” Success awaits you in this year 2023. In 2023, SULTS of your past! Determine to map out a new plan of action for your life. Determine to TURN and (K) forward, no matter the past!
May God give you fresh determination to disconnect yourself from the shame and pain of your past! This is a New Year! That you failed in the past does not mean that you will fail again this year. Face your future with a greater determination. Don’t die in your past mess! RUGGEDLY DETER-MINETOMOVEON!
Today’s 1st Word in Verse 18 says “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider (think about) the things of old.” God will do NKW THINGS in your life/family/ministry this year. You shall be comforted from every side. Men shall call you blessed. Be mindful of tomorrow without being anxious.
Learn from the [i.isi, because those who cannot remember the lessons of the past are condemned to repeat them, However, don’t dwell in the past inn’ be satisfied with the past. Affliction shall not rise again a sec-mid lime concerning you! Finally, never forget that every ceiling when reached becomes a floor to higher ceilings. Yes! Fear not! Dream, think, talk about and be expectant daily of the new and great things God has for you this year! Our Daily Manna Devotional (ODM) Wednesday 4 January, 2023.
If you can think it, say it and see it(imagine it) daily, then it is yours. 1 see you dancing a new dance this year! Forget the past.

PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 1: Higher ground…
- I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
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 Canaan’s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
2. My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
3. I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.”
PRAYER POINTS
- In your own words, pray generally on today’s word.
- Root out any plan to torment you with the past.
- Lord, give me fresh ideas for possessing my Canaan this year! Change every INSULT of the past to RESULTS!
Lord, turn my mistakes of yesteryears to miracles for me and my family in Jesus name. Affliction shall not rise again! Our Daily Manna Devotional (ODM) Wednesday 4 January, 2023
