HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's the New Year! My friend, God delights in blessing you.

Behold, I make all things new - Revelation 21:5

God has placed this verse on my heart, and the spirit has revealed to me that this year will be different because He will do new things. Whatever the situation, come to the Lord in the hope that he will perform a miracle (I'm not talking about material blessings, but you may rest assured that he will meet all of your needs according to his riches—Philippians 4:19) this year. God might give you a new anointing, a new heart, a new mind, new ideas, fresh perspective, and new revelation as the new thing.

Take a close look at the text; the speaker is the one who sits on the Throne. This is God himself speaking. When God speaks, we must pay close attention to what he has to say. Behold, he says.

Behold is a verb that means "to look at" or "to observe."

Spending time in prayer, getting into his presence, reading the Bible, and waiting on him are all acts, not inert states.

God's role is to work a new thing in your life, but we also have a role to play. We need to take a closer look at him. Prayer is a two-way street. You and God. He can only change things in your life if you cooperate with him. This year focus on "the one sitting on the throne". Set your eyes on the Almighty God.

Putting your attention on the difficulties or issues will not help you. Additionally, seeking assistance from the world will only disappoint you. That is why I am pleading with you to fix your gaze on HIM. 'Eyes' was also a theme in my Christmas blog. The longer you gaze at him, the smaller your issues or challenges will seem.

An example: a plane in the sky will appear small, whereas a plane at an airport will appear large. Come closer to the Lord this year, and you will see how big your God is. When you realize this, all your troubles will seem smaller to you.

Please read my Christmas blog if you haven't already done so. You can be led astray by your eyes, so take a look at my Eyes and Heart blog.

In the New Year, let us turn our gaze to the one who created everything. We've all heard of blood and organ donation, but today I'd like to encourage you to give your eyes to Jesus, which means staring at Him all the time. Will you join me in giving your eyes to Jesus? When we open our eyes and surrender them to him, our view of things shifts dramatically.

How can you be so sure that God will do new things, you might ask? That is an excellent question. Let me give you the answer directly from the verse. These words are true and faithful, it says as we continue to read this verse. To put it another way, God is saying, "Mark my words, I will do what I have promised."

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 (KJV)

The words of God are true. It is truer than your issues and struggles. God's child, put your trust in him. 

Keep your eyes peeled for him!

Happy 2022! 


God Bless You!

Run for Jesus!

April 20, 2025, Easter Sunday. I woke up at 4:30 AM and, after freshening up, sat in prayer, seeking the Lord's wisdom to preach about His resurrection. God graciously placed this beautiful message on my heart, and I am grateful. “He is not here; He has risen, just as He said!” - Matthew 28:6 Let’s reflect on these powerful words. "Rise" (verb): to move upward, to become higher, stronger, or to increase. "Resurrection" (verb-like noun): refers to an action - physical, mental, or a state of being brought to life. Jesus died and rose again - He came back to life stronger and more powerful. The dead body of Christ was quickened by the Spirit and came back to life. We serve a living God - full of energy, strength, power, and action. That’s why, after the four Gospels, we have the Book of Acts - a book filled with action. We preach the Gospel of a living God. Speaking about Him is a blessing and a privilege. Today’s Theme: “Run for Jesus” When we en...

Rise Early, Pray First!

  “Early to bed and early to rise” - a phrase we all know too well. But let’s be honest: in today’s fast-paced world, early to bed is not always practical. Late-night work schedules, family commitments, and digital distractions often keep us up. However, this month, I want to focus on something we can control - praying first . For the past three months, God has consistently been stirring my heart with one clear message: Prayer . And this month, He reminded me again through this powerful verse: Mark 1:35 (KJV) “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.” Let us unpack the wisdom in this short but powerful scripture. Jesus Rose Early - So Should We Yes, Jesus is the Creator - He neither slumbers nor sleeps. But when He came in flesh, fully human, He modelled habits to teach and motivate us. And this verse clearly shows one of them: waking up early to pray . He rose a great while before ...

Building with Wisdom!

On June 14th , I went to a prayer meeting at one of my church member’s homes. The prayer request was for a marriage alliance for their daughter. I shared this verse in their home: Proverbs 14:1 (KJV) Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. It is through wisdom that one can build or construct a house. Building a house is not just about the physical structure—it includes nurturing relationships within the family. Anything that is to be built requires wisdom, and we all know that true wisdom comes from God—godly wisdom, not the devil’s cunning or destructive thoughts. This verse presents two opposites: one who builds and one who destroys. The first part of the verse says, “wise woman.” Let us look deeper. The church is the woman who is wisely building the house of the Lord for His second coming. No matter how many hurdles the world and the enemy impose, the church is wisely and quietly doing her work. Hallelujah! Remember: the chu...
