Keys to 360 degrees turnaround
Turnaround is ‘an abrupt or unexpected change, especially one that results in a more favourable situation’ according to the dictionary. Turnaround is a positive, drastic and evident change. 360 degrees means a complete process. In summary, 360 degrees turnaround in my favour essentially means a complete and drastic change in my favour; a change to favour me. There are many business turnaround experts in developed countries. However, our God is the biggest turnaround expert in the whole world. He specialises in the business of turning lives around. God is interested in turning your life around for good in your favour.
What needs a turnaround? Something that is dead, dying or about to die. Something that is bringing continuous loss and no profit. Something that cannot be revived or resuscitated. Something that is not responding to solutions or treatment. Something that has become an embarrassment and insult. All of these require a positive turnaround. Many important keys are required to command a complete turnaround in life. Some of these are described below. The list below is not exhaustive but no one will achieve a complete turnaround without these important steps.
A strong desire for a turnaround
To achieve a 360 degrees turnaround in your favour, you must demonstrate a very strong desire and passion. You must demonstrate a passion and desire that no one or no circumstances can quench or kill. The desire and passion of blind Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52) are a good example for anyone who wants to achieve a positive turnaround. To get anything tangible in life, you must desire it. To get a 360 degrees turnaround, you must demonstrate a very strong desire.
Strong faith for a turnaround
Your desire for a complete turnaround must make you develop a strong faith that will birth your turnaround. Without faith it is impossible to please God and impossible to get any tangible thing from God (Hebrews 11:6). The faith of the woman with the issue of blood was so strong that she said ‘If I can only touch the helm of his garment, I will be healed’ (Matthew 9:21). Such great faith! The centurion described in Matthew 8: 8-10 had a strong faith that Jesus’s word is enough to heal her daughter. You need the kind of faith that will move God to get your complete turnaround.
Step of faith for a turnaround
A strong desire and faith may not get your complete turnaround until you take a step of faith. Desire will remain a desire until you make a move of faith. The four lepers outside the camp (2 Kings 7:3-20) took a big step of faith. The friends of the man with the palsy (Mark 2:1-5) took a big step of faith. In the two stories above, there was a 360 degrees turnaround. Sometimes, the impossible is often the untried. You don’t know what you can do until you make a move. Take a step of faith. Make the application. Speak to the person. Make the call. Attend the conference. Make the move in faith and you will get your complete turnaround.
Wait for your turnaround
Sometimes your turnaround may take longer than you expect. No matter how long it takes, you must wait for your turnaround. Anyone who knows how to wait knows how to be blessed. Those who wait on the Lord shall receive the renewal of strength (Isaiah 40:30-31). Don’t give up on God and don’t give up on your self too. Wait for your turnaround and don’t truncate the process of your turnaround. Your turnaround will definitely come: just wait for it. Naman had to bathe seven times before he got his turnaround (2 Kings 5:1-19). If he didn’t wait till the seventh time, he may not have received his turnaround. A pregnant woman must wait for at least nine months to have her baby. Any attempt to shorten the process could be dangerous for the mother and baby.
Wait for your 360 degrees turnaround, it will definitely come.
Grace is available for me again
You are warmly welcome to the month of May, the fifth month of the year. The number 5 represents grace and it is not surprising that the theme for the month is “Grace is available for me again and again”. May the grace of God be available to you again and again in Jesus name, Amen.
Grace is usually described as unmerited favour. This favour can be explained in two ways: the first is giving you the best things that you don’t deserve while the second is not giving you the punishment you deserve. It is important to understand that grace is a gift. (Ephesians 3:7). It is something we have received. ‘By whom we have received grace’ (Romans 1:5). We cannot earn grace by any standard (Romans 11:6) because we do not qualify for it.
The birth, death and resurrection of Jesus made grace available for everyone. ‘For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men’ (Titus 2:11). However, only those who have given their lives to Christ are the ones God makes grace available for. ‘And of his fullness have we all received, and grace for grace’ (John 1:12). It is only through Jesus that the grace of God is available. Jesus brought the dispensation of grace (Ephesians 3:2).
Grace is crucial for all believers to actualise their God given destinies. We are saved by grace. ‘For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God’ (Ephesians 2: 8). We are justified by grace. ‘Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus’ (Romans 3:24). We are made rich by grace. ‘For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich’ (2 Corinthians 8:9). We are what we are by his grace. ‘But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me’ (1 Corinthians 15:10). We receive gifts by grace. ‘Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith’ (Romans 12:6). No matter what our circumstances look like, God’s grace is sufficient for us. ‘And he said unto me, my grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness’ (2 Corinthians 12:9). Where there was once sin, grace abounds more than our sins. ‘Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound’ (Romans 5:20). ‘And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work’ (2 Corinthians 9:8).
Our God is the God of all grace (1 Peter 5:10) and from the riches of His grace God is able to make grace available to you again and again and again in this month. When you accepted Christ, God released grace for you. As long as you remain a child of God, He is able to make grace available for you again now and He is also able to make grace available to you in the future. God will always ensure that you are multiplied in grace (2 Peter 1: 2). God is able to bless you with grace after grace.
When you have grace in abundance what do you need to do it with it? You must grow in grace (2 Peter 3:18). You must be strong in grace (2 Timothy 2:1). You must not frustrate the grace of God (Galatians 2:21). You must not continue in sin and expect that grace will abound (Romans 6:1, Romans 6:15). In this month and beyond, my prayer is that God will make grace available for you again and again and again in Jesus name, Amen.
LET US PRAY
Oh Lord let your grace be available for me once again in Jesus name.
Oh Lord let your grace be sufficient for all my situations and circumstances in Jesus name.
Oh Lord help me grow in grace and be multiplied in grace in Jesus name.
Oh Lord help me not to frustrate your grace upon my life.
