....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

START WITH PRAYER.

 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Psalm 90:14 Starting the year in prayerlessness is a very dangerous move to make. From the scripture above, we see David placing a demand on God in the place of prayer for early satisfaction. He is asking God God to satisfy him early with mercy. Why was he specific by adding "early" and not just saying oh Lord satisfy us with your mercy? The mistake most of us make in our prayer, is failure to be specific and detailed in our prayer. The demand for earl satisfaction will result to early accomplishment and achievements. Now is the time for you to learn this wisdom from David and tell the Lord that you desire to be satisfied early in 2021 with his mercy, favour, goodness, presence, wisdom, success and vision. Halleluyah! Lateness and delay is when the achievement of January is accomplished in December. May you not be found sleeping while your mate are succeeding, maximising their year and prosperin...

LISTEN TO GODS' VOICE TODAY

"Today if you hear God’s voice speaking to you, do not harden your hearts against Him, as the people of Israel did when they rebelled against Him in the desert.” (Hebrew 3:15). God speaks to his creation at all times. As we read the bible we see instances where God spoke to unbelievers, example; Saul,  Nebuchadnezzar etc. Jesus spoke to the wind and it obeyed him, He also spoke to the fig tree. How much more you his child. It is an error for you to say you can’t hear his voice.  Jesus speaking in..…John 10:27 said; “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”  As Gods' children, we have the capacity and the ability to hear His voice. But the challenge is; a lot of us do not pay attention and listen to what God is saying. Probably because we are waiting to have the Saul’s encounter of a voice speaking from heaven (Act 9:4). God speaks to us in our spirit with a small still voice. Prophet Elijah had an encounter with this voice… II Kings 19:12 -13 “...and ...

THE POWER IN YOUR TONGUE

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. (Proverbs 18:21) Your words decide your fate. If you confess starvation over you life, God will not overrule it because you have what you say. The power of what you say cannot be overemphasized. When the world is speaking its own language, learn to speak from heaven because you are from above and you are above all. When you learn to speak God's word over your situation, you are superimposing what God has said over every contrary situation in your life. When you do this, the lesser power is bound to bow. Beloved, when we make confession of God's promises, it is not a play of words. As you make these confessions, you are speaking life to yourself. And your situation is obligated to change for the better. " Keep saying what you want until the things you see becomes what you are saying". Always remember that the strategy of the devil is to put you under extreme pressure so th...
