....AND WE GIVE THANKS


 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, His love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34 (NIV)

Dearly beloved, I welcome you specially to a new and glorious year 2021. It is a great blessing and privilege to see another year and all we can say is "Lord we are grateful".

Our scriptural text today admonishes us about the need to give thanks to the Lord for he is good and his love endures forever. Failure to be thankful is a sign of ingratitude and a display of ignorance. Even if the goals you had set for the previous years were not accomplished. You have every reason to be thankful to God for the life you have. 

The bible says; Anyone who is among the living has hope, even a live dog is better off than a dead lion! (Ecclesiastes 9:4). 

You thank God for three(3) reasons:

1. Thank Him for what he did and how far He has brought you.

2. Thank Him for where you are and what He is doing that you might not even be aware of.

3. Thank Him for where he is taking you to and what He is about to do.

Whatever you could not accomplish the previous year, begin this year thanking Him because in 2021 things will definitely change in your favour and all things shall work out for your good in Jesus name.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 Paul teaches, give thanks in ALL circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 

Both in good and bad times you give thanks to God. 

Psalm 124:1-8 Read and meditate on this.

PRAYER:

1. Father in the name of Jesus I thank you for the gift of a new year. Am grateful for your mercies and protection.

2. Thank you heavenly Father for the victories, good health and favour you granted us last year in Jesus name.

3. Our eyes have seen a new year in good health, sound mind and in glory. Thank you Lord.

PRAYER OF SALVATION: 

I believe you have been blessed by this devotional. I invite you to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life by praying this prayer now.

Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe you died for me and resurrected for my justification. 

Today, I confess with my mouth that I accept Jesus into my life as my Lord and saviour, I receive forgiveness of all my sins. I'm born again. Thank you Lord for the salvation of my soul. Amen

THE POWER OF FASTING AND PRAYER 2 DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE!

 "But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting". You may not know what the future holds and that is the more reason why you should hold unto the one who holds the future. God knows what lies ahead of us this year and as we connect with him through prayer and fasting he empowers us to overcome, prevail and win over every battle, challenges and attacks of the enemy that may come our way. From the Scripture above tells us about the response of Jesus to his disciples when they were faced with an impossible situation that has to do with a man whose son was sick. The disciples tried all they could but their efforts to heal the young man was not fruitful. When Jesus showed up, the seemingly impossible situation became possible. Jesus was able to heal the man's son. So the disciples were amazed and they asked Jesus why they couldn't do it.  I declare: May Jesus shows up in your marriage, shows up in your finances, family in the name of Jesus. Where your strength...

THE WIFE WHO WAS NOT CONDEMNED.

 A certain man married a beautiful lady. Somebody used to visit his wife everyday to give her advice. After some time, the adviser would also have sex with her. One day, the man discovered his wife having sex with the adviser. When I heard about this, I was expecting that the husband would condemn his wife and drive her away but he did not. He rather turned to her and said, "I love you and I want you to be my wife. It does not matter what has happened. You are the only wife I want." This was an amazing show of love to a wife he should have condemned. From where I come from, by now the woman would have been sacked from her home, and viral on social media, etc. This is how Jesus' love is. He sees everything but He does not condemned us!  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:17) halleluyah! He so much loved you, sent his only Son as substitute for your sins, that whoever believes in him will not ...

KEEP YOUR TONGUE AWAY FROM EVIL

As the Scripture says, “If you want to enjoy life and wish to see good times, you must keep your tongue from speaking evil and stop telling lies.  -1 Peter 3:10 (GNT) A lot of people desire not only to have a successful life, but also to enjoy life, but the reality is this; only few adhere to the principles that would eventually lead to having an enjoyable and productive life. From our scriptural text, we understand that one of the keys that guarantee access to an enjoyable life is to keep our tongue from speaking evil and to stay away from lies. Your life moves in the direction of your words. If you don’t like where your life is headed, then it is time to examine what has been coming out of your mouth. Any man that cannot have control over his tongue, cannot have control over his life as well. Proverbs 6:2 NIV says, “you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth". A lot of people have been trapped by the words they said. The struggle and ...
