....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...

GODS' PROMISES

The Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. (Genesis 21:1-2) Understand that our God is a Covenant Keeping God. Whatever God says He will do, that, He will surely do. He has the capacity and capability to do it. Jesus was speaking to His disciples and said; “And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible”. (Mark 10:27). Whatever promise God has for you in His word, He is able to bring it to pass. But the things that bring about the delays are; unbelief, doubt, fear, and sin (Mark 11:23). Make sure you deal with these four things and stop them before they stop you from possessing your possession. Do you also desire the fruit of the womb like Sarah? The word says…. “None shall be barren” (Deuteronomy 7:14). Therefore, in the name of Jesus, I decree God’s visitat...

THE BLESSING OF FRUITHFULNESS.

Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground." Genesis 1:28 NLT The first blessing that was released on man is the blessing of fruitfulness. What does it mean to be fruitful. Fruitfulness is the empowerment to bear fruits. Another word for fruitfulness is to be productive; to generate results; to prosper. God planted man on earth as a seed, expected man to bear fruits. When a man is barren, his prayer can be hindered. Why? Because man was designed to bear fruits in as much you're not bearing fruit your prayer can be hindered. You didn't choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce fruit that will last, so that my Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. ( John 15:16). In other words, the reason why you don't received whatever you ask for is because of your unfruitfulness. Because you were cho...
