STEPS TO RESET

 STEPS TO RESET


Gen 8:1-22

Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in

the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided. 2  The fountains

of the deep and the windows of heaven were also stopped, and the rain from heaven was

restrained. 3  And the waters receded continually from the earth. At the end of the hundred and

fifty days the waters decreased. 4  Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth

day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat. 5  And the waters decreased continually until the

tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were

seen.

6  So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark

which he had made. 7  Then he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters

had dried up from the earth. 8  He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had

receded from the face of the ground. 9  But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her

foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth.

So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself. 10  And he waited yet

another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark. 11  Then the dove came to him

in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that

the waters had receded from the earth. 12  So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the

dove, which did not return again to him anymore.

13  And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the

month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the

ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry. 14  And in the second month, on

the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.

15  Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 16  “Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons

and your sons’ wives with you… 20  Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean

animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21  And the LORD smelled

a soothing aroma. Then the LORD said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s

sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy

every living thing as I have done.

22 “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day

and night Shall not cease


Gen 9:1

So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth

Gen 9:20-21

20  And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard. 21  Then he drank of the wine and

was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent


1. Remember that you are remembered.

2. Open the window. (Vision – What you see)

3. Follow the Dove not just the Raven

4. Take your family with you

5. Sacrifice unto your God

6. Don’t get drunk in the day of reconstruction

7. Take Advantage of the Universal Laws.

  1. The last 2 weeks of RESET is a masterclass on Living life to the Full. My prayer is we all internalize these lessons and apply to our lives. Thank you Bishop.
