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 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
