NEW YEAR RESOLVE 2


Text : Psalms 147:11 

*The LORD takes pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.* 

Yesterday, we saw one important resolution we should make towards the new year. The resolve not to take pleasure in the strength of a horse or in your legs. This should be your resolve as the Lord does not take pleasure in your dependence on your own strength and effort. 

Today, we shall be looking at another resolve you should make towards the new year. *If your resolve is centred on God's pleasure, then God's pleasure will be centred on you as well.*  If you would want God to take pleasure in you in a special way in the year 2022, you must make up your mind to Fear Him and to walk in His FEAR. For God takes pleasure in them that fear Him. To fear the Lord is to *"....love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind" Matthew 22:37* 

 *Only those who fear the Lord can truly experience a deep love affairs with Him.* It is good to make new year resolutions. But the most important resolution you need to make that will see you through the year and beyond is; resolving to keep His commandments. 
You've got just two commandments:
Firstly, Love the Lord and secondly, love your neighbours. 
If you will do these commandments well, you will hear the Lord's voice as Jesus heard it saying: This is my beloved son/daughter in whom I am well pleased. 

And if the Lord is pleased with you, then He will make even your enemies to be at peace with you.
 *When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Proverbs 16:7*  

Let your resolve in 2022 be that you will LOVE the Lord and your Neighbours.

Let your resolve for 2022 be that: 
 
 *I am Christ Image, I keep the commandment of Love* 

 *I am Christ Image, I love my brethren fervently.* 

 *I am Christ Image, I forgive all my offenders.* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. LORD, give me the grace to walk in Love in the year 2022.

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 portray...

WAY MAKER-2

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. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
