HAPPY NEW YEAR

Text : Exodus 12:2. 

“This month will mark the beginning of months for you. It will be the first month of the year for you.

All over the world, people are shouting *HAPPY NEW YEAR* around this time. We are greatful to God who made it possible for you to make it into this new year. 

Beautiful as this may be, nothing will be new in the year if you continue to do 'business as usual.' By man's calender, yesterday was last year, and in the next 365 days we will be talking of another new year. Yet, *if you continue to do business as usual,  nothing will be new, they can only get older.* 

The Isrealites cut a covenant with God some years back, which is known till today as the passover - the day the angel of death that passed through the land of Egypt passed them over by reason of the blood. That day became the beginning of a new year for the Isrealites even though the event took place within the middle of the year.

Everything became new for the Isrealites by reason of the covenant they cut with God and not by the reason of just shouting 'happy new year.'

Make this 2024 the beginning of new things in your life by cutting a covenant with God through the blood of Jesus. 

Regardless of whatever evil  speculations and prophesies that has gone ahead of this year, for you and your household, you shall receive abundant help of the Lord all through this year.

He said 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.
   
Bible Reading:

Exodus 12:1-28

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, in this new year, please do a new thing in my life.

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...

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...
