Then the Angel of God spoke to me in a dream, saying, ‘Jacob.’ And I said, ‘Here I am.’ And He said, ‘Lift your eyes now and see, all the rams which leap on the flocks are streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted; for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you
- Genesis 31:11-12 (NKJV)
To maximize new beginnings, God will bring you innovative ideas. For Jacob, the Angel of the Lord came up with an innovative idea, and he showed him how to become self-sufficient, right in his partnership with Laban. Jacob’s self-sufficiency came while He was still serving his uncle, Laban. God established him in his own stead, and he had the capacity to self-sustain his family and build up his own enterprise.
God, Himself, is an innovator – He keeps on doing new things and He works in us for new ideas through the Holy Spirit. “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (John 14:26). The Holy Spirit is our teacher and if we walk with Him, we will keep on innovating forward.
New seasons will require flexibility in our perspectives and approach. We should be willing to evolve and embrace the new. We should be willing to renew our minds daily and seek the face of the Lord for fresh wisdom.
Beloved, the Holy Spirit is your best friend and teacher. He will give you fresh ideas that will bring prosperity, recognition, health, favour and all good things to you, and help you to implement them successfully if you cooperate with Him.
