A fallow ground represents obstacles to overcome and opportunities to explore.
In today’s world, where the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our lives in unprecedented ways, Pastor Otabil suggests four key strategies to break up our fallow ground in his sermon titled Break Up Your Fallow Ground.
- Embracing Innovation: The first strategy is to pioneer new ideas and concepts that have never been explored before. By seeking God’s guidance and tapping into our creative potential, we can revolutionise the way we think and act, just like the pioneers who have shaped our world’s history.
- Taking Calculated Risks: The second strategy involves stepping out of our comfort zones and attempting new ventures that we have never considered before. In a rapidly changing world, it is essential to adapt and explore uncharted territories to stay relevant and competitive.
- Embracing Change: The third strategy encourages us to embrace change and explore new horizons, even if physical travel is restricted. With the power of technology, we can connect with people, cultures, and opportunities around the world, expanding our knowledge and experiences.
- Taking Action: The final strategy emphasises the importance of taking action and starting new endeavours, even if it seems daunting or challenging. By starting small and growing gradually, we can achieve our goals and make a lasting impact.
In conclusion, Pastor Mensa Otabil reminds us that challenges are opportunities in disguise. By embracing innovation, taking risks, embracing change, and taking action, we can break free from limitations and achieve great things.
His message serves as a powerful reminder for individuals, families, businesses, and nations to rise above adversity and seize new opportunities for growth and success.
