Memorise
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
And he said unto me, Write : for these words are true and faithful.
Revelation 21:5
Read ISAIAH 43:19
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.
Message
When someone promised to give you a gift, before you begin to
celebrate, find out whether the fellow has the wherewithal to fulfil the
promise, or else you may be disappointed. The good is that the Almighty
God, who knows no impossibility, said in Isaiah 43:19 that He would do a
new thing for His Children this year. I pray for someone using this
devotional that something pleasantly new and glorious will happen to you
this year in Jesus Name.
However, for something new to happen,
the old must give way. In Genesis 32:24-28, the angel said to Jacob that
his old name must give way for new one. The Lord said this same thing
to his grandfather and grandmother- Abraham and Sarah, whose names were
changed from Abram and Sarai respectively. The old names that have
brought misfortune and agony to someone using this devotional will
change this year in Jesus' Name. You must let go of your old ways of
living if you want to experience a glorious new beginning this year.
Your old ways of thinking and doing things, Especially your ungodly
behaviour, must give way. You must change your master if this master is
not Jesus Christ. Jesus is calling all those who labour are heavy laden
to come to Him. He promised to give as many as shall come to Him a new
beginning of joy and victory if they would accept His Lordship, take His
yokes upon themselves, learn of Him and keep His commandments ( Mathew
11:27-30 )
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become
new." 2 Corinthians 5:17
The Implication of this passage of
scripture is great. It means that if you come to Jesus Christ, your
sinful living become history, not only will you be forgiven, the power
behind " go and sin no more " will be your portion also. This was the
experience of the woman caught in the sin of adultery who was forgiven
by the Lord( John 8:11). My sincere prayer for you this New Year is that
the abundant life in Jesus Christ will be your portion, in Jesus mighty
name. Happy New Year!
Prayer Points
Father, I stand on
your promise of glorious new things for me and my loved ones, and I
claim these promises for abundant joy in this New Year, in Jesus Name.
