Text : Isaiah 43:19

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

 *HAPPY NEW YEAR!* 

I pray that this year will speak so much volumes of God's mercies and Faithfulness in your life and family (Amen).

Christians all over the globe gathered and prayed into this year with great expectations and new resolves. They hope for new things in their lives. Hopes and Faith are high during the cross over night. Now, God has presented you with a new 365 days of open cheque, it is now your responsibility to carefully fill the cheque.

While God is ready to do a new thing in this new year, He would like you to cooperate in the following ways:

1. Remember NOT the PAST: The first thing God would like you to do is: “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Isaiah 43:18. Yes, it can be difficult to rob off your memories of the past failures and disappointments, but God wants you to forget all of these in view of what He is about to do in your life. 

2. *Embrace the future with great expectation* : The future you saw last year is right before you today. God wants you to engage yourself on a high expectation mode. Hope for the very best this year. Do not allow your past destroys your present.(the future you saw in the year(s) past is with you today. 

The Lord is announcing to you to BEHOLD(see), the new thing He is doing. He is not going to do new a thing, but He is already in the very process of new thing. What you need do is to BEHOLD it. Open your eyes and mind to see the new thing God is already doing in your life.

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?......(ESV)

Your expectation is one thing that will help you perceive the new thing God is doing. Once you see it with your inner eyes, then it is yours.

 *As you EXPECT great things this year, I also want to encourage you to ATTEMPT great things this year.* 

 *Prayer focus:* 

*Pray that God will open your eyes to see the new thing He is, doing in your life. 

*Pray that ways be made for you even in the wilderness this year 2021.

Bible reading: Isaiah 43:1-28.

 *WISHING YOU A GLORIOUS 2021 IN REALITY* .

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
