NEW YEAR RESOLVE

Text : Psalms 147:10 

*He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.* 

As the year comes to an end, many people and organisations all over the world are excited about the unfolding opportunities of the year ahead. 

Many have made several plans and strategies towards the year ahead. There is so much excitement in the air. Lots of resolves are being made to attain a better life, achieve new goals and accomplish giant strides. 

While all these and whatever efforts that are being made towards the new year are good and okay, there's one thing we must keep at the back of our minds - God takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

Legs of a man herein refer to man's efforts outside of God. If all your plans for the new year is drawn without God at the center, you may be taking pleasure in the strength of the horse and in your Legs.

The best preparation you need to make for the year 2022 is simply setting your heart aright with God. You must prepare your heart to trust the Lord more in the year ahead. You must committ to trust God for each day of the year, you must prepare to acknowledge Him in all your ways and trust Him with all your heart in the year 2022. (Proverbs 3:4-6).
 
As you prepare for the year 2022, let it be your resolve that you will trust and hope in the Lord.

 *The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. (Psalms 147:11)* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. LORD, I commit all my plans in the year 2022 into your hands,  cause all of my ways to bring you pleasure.

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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
