A NEW BEGINNING

TEXT: Lamentations 3:22–23. “It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.*   *They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness.” Today is the second day of the New Year, the first day is already behind us. This naturally raises an important question: what truly makes a year new? If you look around, you may realize that many things remain exactly the same as they were in 2025. The streets are the same. The people are the same. Responsibilities, work schedules, and life’s demands continue as usual. Any visible change may simply be the decorations or calendars we have replaced. So what really brings about change? What truly makes a year new is not the date on the calendar, but the newness you allow God to create within you and around you. Our text reminds us that it is only by the mercies of God that we are preserved. We did not survive the past year by strength, wisdom, or effort alone, but by God’s unfailing compassion. And the be...

A NEW GIFT

TEXT: Lamentation 3:22-23. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.  They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.*  Today is the first day of the year. God is not limited by time, but He understands our times and seasons. Today comes with lots of excitements. Amidst this excitement, know that it is important to be grateful for the gift of life. It is equally important to be grateful for the grace to see another year. But what is more important is to realize that each new day is a Gift from God. Each  day offers you a new plate to live a life that is pleasing to the Father.  *You have been given another opportunity to walk blamelessly before God. Seize the day. Don't be carried away with the excitement and celebration.*  Before you launch out today, take time to appreciate God for the gift of life. Thank Him for another opportunity to amend your ways and do things right. Ask Him for wisdom to navigate throu...

THANKSGIVING

TEXT: John 6:11. “ And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.” Thanksgiving must be intentional.  As the year 2025 draws to a close, you must deliberately choose to give thanks to God for the remaining days. Thanksgiving is not a religious ritual; it is a spiritual key, it is your passcode to entering the new year with stability, clarity, and strength. Look again at our study text and ask yourself: What exactly was Jesus thanking God for? From  human perspective, there was little or nothing to be grateful for. He was surrounded by a great multitude who had followed Him to hear the Word. They were hungry, and there was no food in sight. All that was available were five loaves and two fishes which was barely enough to feed one person, yet there were about five thousands  men in attendance, not counting women and children.  Human...

GOD STILL HATES DIVORCE

TEXT: Malachi 2:16   " For the LORD God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one's garment with violence," Says the LORD of hosts. " Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously. While I sympathise and empathise with some unbelievers and few believers who have divorced, it is worthy to emphasize that God hates divorce.  Some people have said that God only said that he hates divorce, and not that divorce is a sin. This only shows how twisted and hardened the heart of man could be. If you hate something, does it not mean that such a thing is offensive and detestable to you. For instance, as a parent, would you love to see your children do things that you hate? Whether for legit reason or not,  God still hates divorce, especially among his people.  Divorce tears apart the immediate people concerned, and all the relationships around them. No matter how genuine the reasons for divorce amongst believers (God's children) might s...

DON'T RUN IN VAIN!-2

TEXT: 1 Corinthians 9:26  *Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.*  Apostle Paul was very  determined never to run or labour in vain concerning his ministry that he was so certain about the crown and the joy awaiting  him in heaven over the souls he has laboured on. For instance in Philippians 2:16, Apostle Paul encouraged his followers to hold fast the word of life, that he may rejoice in the day of Christ so that he wouldn't have ran in vain or labored in vain. He also wrote about not receiving God's grace in vain in 2 Corinthians 6:1: "We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that you receive not the grace of God in vain." As you approach  year 2026, the Lord would have you know that every of your engagement must be very strategic, even the grace (favour) that God bestowed upon you must not be in vain. In 2026, there must not be labour lost, no wastage of the grace and mercy of God upon your life...

DON'T RUN IN VAIN!

TEXT: 1 Corinthians 9:26  Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. Our calling and election is not the one of uncertainty. Hence, we should run the race set before us with a deep sense of direction, commitment and certainty. As you prepare for the new year, you must make up your mind to run with intentionality.  As the year 2026 approaches, you must decide not to play religion. Don't go to  church for just going sake, but  for the purpose of true worship and fellowship. You must pray because you want to effectively engage the Lord in an intimate communion and not just as a religious exercise; you must study the word in order to believe, and apply it and not just for  reading sake. Every evangelism you do in 2026 must become purpose driven- to win soul and to disciple same. Do not participate in any activity that is not having a clearly drawn out end result.  Enough of doing anything for the sake of just keeping...

BOXING DAY

TEXT: Acts 20:35  * “…remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”*  Boxing Day is the day that follows the celebration of Christmas and draws our attention to one of the strongest expressions of Christ’s life on earth, *giving* .  While Christmas celebrates the gift of God to humanity, Boxing Day reminds us that true celebration is completed when we also give. Jesus lived a life of selfless giving. He gave His time, strength, compassion, and ultimately His life for the salvation of mankind.  In Acts 20:35, we are reminded of His words: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” This statement challenges the culture of accumulation and points us toward a life of generosity and sacrifice. Traditionally, Boxing Day is associated with sharing gifts with the less privileged. Spiritually, it is a call to open our hearts and hands to all within our circle. Giving is not limited to material things; it includes kindness...
