Bible verse: 1 Peter 3:3-4
3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

Message
God gave us the inner desire for beauty, designs and order in nature; a heart that is not easily ruffled by the cares and concerns of life, full of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

Yes! the hidden man of the heart has no corruption in it, nor cleaving to it unless we refuse to make it clean and dwellable by the Holy Spirit allowing our carnal desires and worldly affections to take absolute control of it.

Brethren, we can put on all the cream, cosmetics, expensive clothings and golden jewelries we want to, have face lifts or whatever, but if we lack a meek and a quiet spirit we shall loose self-discipline, self-control, dignity, happiness, joy, fruthfulness and everlasting life.

Therefore, we must be careful not to adopt the ways of the world, its attitudes, moral code, language and its values such like lust, greed, jealousy, covetousness, anger, arrogance, strife, profanity, selfishness, pride, unforgiveness etc.

Prayer
Oh gracious God, I pray that I live in humility of spirit and meekness of mind, so that I may reap the divine benefits of Your gift of grace, which You have promised to bestow on all who humble themselves before Your holy presence in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Job 22:21
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee

Message
Without the knowledge and understanding of your partner it will be very difficult to live happily and in peace. Your joy, happiness and peace on this planet is dependent on your knowledge of God.

The knowledge of God gives peace, because in it we find the satisfaction.
We are therefore to have a competent knowledge of God regarding His:
- goodness and mercy,
- perfect purity and holiness,
- peace that comes with salvation through total surrender to God in all things,
- almighty power,
- will and promises,
- infinite wisdom,
- justice and faithfulness,
- determination to punish incorrigible wickedness and disobedience.
We are to disengage our hearts from earthly pursuits and fix them on God, know Him as our source of joy and have Him to be the first in our life.

Surely, deliverance from temptations and evil ones, pardon of sins, peace, triumph and unmerited blessings shall be our inheritance.

Prayer
Lord, I long for a greater knowledge of You and a closer relationship with You; give me a heart of deeper understanding of You and covered me with Your robe of righteousness in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Isaiah 55:12
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Message
God wants you to enjoy yourself, to be happy and not be burdened down with worries that rob you of vigor, life, and purpose.
We want to be able to enjoy ourselves and not be burdened down with worries that rob us of vigor, life, and purpose.

But what do you do to get real joy and peace in your life?
What are your laid down criteria to archive this goal? and
Where do you start?

Beloved, the best place to start is with God and the best criteria is walking in holiness and allowing the Spirit to empower you to be faithful, to trust and to yield to the will of God.

If things do not go or as fast as you expected do not let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God, trust Him for everything, pray to Him for anything and meditate on what is holy.
Before you know the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you because God is interested in your pain and He is ever present in your pain.
He will provide in your pain both materially and spiritually.

Prayer
I thank you, Lord, for holding me tight in your embrace, for making me stronger than the challenges in my life for making the mountains and the hills break forth before me into singing and for your protections.

With the Spirit I will be able to trust God beyond your ability, oh heavenly Father, let the Spirit empower me to be faithful, to trust and to yield to the Your will in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Psalm 81:6
I removed his shoulder from the burdens: his hands were delivered from the pots.

Message
With you crossing over to the new year with faith, in obedience & loyalty, in truthfulness, with expectation and positive mindset, all those things that you have been denied and/or been deprived of, those closed doors, those failures and disappointments are declared over by the Lord.

God has seen you through your life time, has been good to you, has kept you and has prototected you, what is it then that He cannot do in this year of liberty and all possibilities?

Our Lord has removed your shoulder from every burden therefore rejoice and praise His Holy name.
Yes! According to His riches in heaven God has prepared the delicacy (all your needs) and commanded His angels to supply them and they are set on the table.

Have you taken hold of your cutleries - knowledge of the Word in you, your walk in righteousness, your lifesytle, the words of your mouth, and your expectations; and really anxious and ready to use them in pocessing your possession?

Prayer
Thank You heavenly Father for holding and delivering my hands from the pots.
As I step out into the future and wait on You Lord, I place my trust in You, I claim my freedom and my possession in Jesus name.
Lead me oh Lord, on the right path that is best for me in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Micah 7:18
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

Message
Have you realised that there is no one like our God?
Yes! God is beyond compare because of His unfailing love, His redeeming power, His forgiving love and grace, His kindness.
God does not just pardon our sins; He deals with our sin, tramples them down and extends to us mercy.

Your friends, families and neighbours can leave you and in times of troubles even forsake you but God will never leave His people or forsake His people.
When God says He will do something, unlike man, you can be sure that He will. He is always faithful.

Beloved, the only things God requires of us is simply to act justly, to be obedient, to love mercy and to walk humbly with Him.

Prayer
Thank you Father for Your unmatched in love, mercy, and faithfulness.
Let Your grace be sufficient for me and let Your strength make me perfect in all my weakness in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Ecclesiastes 2:24
There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God

Message
It is God's desire that we should make our soul enjoy the labour of our hands.
If you are married, enjoy life with the wife/husband whom you love but above all enjoy the work that God has given you to do and do it with all your might.
Living your life in accordance to God's law is the only way to find true satisfaction in this universe and to enjoy everlasting life.

Beloved do not satisfy your appetites at the expense of those around you.
Stop looking for what you can get out of others, stop consuming each other in your relationships, let your love and care be bidirectional.
Nothing in this world really matters because nothing lasts for God has ordered things so that all things done here on earth is vanity.

Prayer
Oh everlasting Father, I pray that I shall eat and drink out of the labour of my hands.
Remove from me, O Lord, every circumstances that will make me to satisfy my appetites and heart's desires at the expense of others in Jesus name.
Let Your favor be upon my life as a cloud of the latter rain in Jesus name

Bible verse: Psalms 112:1-3
1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Message
Thank God that because of Jesus Christ, the love, grace and mercy of God we landed successfully into the new year 2017.
Last year is behind us and now we are on the threshold of a wonderful new year - year of all possibilities.
The old year with all of its problems, with all of its mistakes, all its failures and turbulence, and even with all of its victories is gone.

The fact that God is reaching out to us with His love and kindness whatever has happened to us in the past can be put behind us.

Let us therefore raise our voices and clap our hands to praise the Lord for He has given to us a brand new year.
Celebrate Him with your dances, for you are one of the generation of the upright to be blessed.

Beloved remember that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, knowledge and the key to heavenly wealth and riches.
Whatsoever you are undertaking in this year of all POSSIBILITIES and in whichever situation let the fear of the Lord reign in your life because the fear of the Lord leads to hatred for sin and a strong desire for holiness and an assurance of walking in the light of God.

You will walk in the light of the Lord and you will be celebrated this year in Jesus name.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
