Bible verse: Isaiah 40:28
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

Message
Beloveth, it is few hours to the new decade.
Have you not known? Have you not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary?
Yes! God is never tired of you, of your nagging concerning those unanswered prayers, of your backsliding habits because He knows that He has a people tempted to be impatient, forgetful and of little faith.
God is aware of that which befalls His people from day to day - all manners of un-sympathizing hostility, false and deadly rumours, false accusations and deadly gossips.
He is ready to do a new things. He is available to renew the strength of those who honestly wait on Him.

Beloveth, when you are tempted to walk out of the way, or you are discouraged, or you feel rejected and abandoned, or you lose your way and confusion blurs the destination or you are forced to sit back and impatiently wait, or you are trapped in a tunnel of misery, God is available to renew your strength and to lift your spirits.
You are to rest on His unchanging grace.
Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His steadfast love.

Congratulations! you made it till this last day of the year.
May the new year be a spiritually prosperous and productive year, year of progress, year of praise, year of gladness, year of leaning, year of confidence and boldness, year of trusting the Lord and year to witness God's love.

Prayer
For the new year, I decree and declare upon my life; new joy, new hope, new inspiration, new goals, freshness and new achievements with new taste of life in Jesus mighty name.
Our Lord shall manifest Himself powerfully to glorify Himself in every aspect of my life in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Exodus 33:9
And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

Message
God is the original definition of good.
In modern dictionary, goodness is the simple word for the general quality recognized in character or conduct.
God is love, powerful, infinite, sovereign, extravagantly bountiful, morally excellent, essentially and absolutely good.
You are the object of His affection and He is there, plotting to do you good and show you mercy.

If you have ever experienced anything good in your life then you should be able to point to God's kindness, His mercy, His steadfast love, His generosity even when sometimes, it happens that God's good plan for you means going through trials and losses and heartache and disappointments.
Beloveth, God is look at you with all your baggage, all your junks, all your hang-ups, your unfaithfulness, your disobedience, and He says, "I want to be gracious, merciful and generous to you".
But then it is your duty and obligation to provide a conducive atmosphere so you can be one of the chosen ones.

Prayer
Dear Lord, I have no power of mine and therefore I am strictly dependent on You, on Your grace, mercy, favour and love.
I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that my vision for the coming decade be successfully accomplished-
May my labour in the Lord not be in vain in Jesus name.

Bible verse: 2 Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Message
Have you honestly waited on the Lord and leaned on His promises?
Have you walked according to His rules with praises and appreciation for His goodness been part of you?
No one wait upon the Lord and goes empty handed. Surely you will not be the first example.

Beloveth, everyday may not be good, but there's good in everyday because God is always with you, taking care of you, watching and protecting you in the time of troubles and challenges.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise for you and He is never late.
Yes! He is waiting on purpose.
Those things He has in the pipeline for you will surely surfaced at His appointed time.
But you need to repent if you are still living in sin.
Look ahead at what God is going to do in your life.

Prayer
Oh my Father in heaven, let Your angels of peace go ahead of me in the new decade, reveal my truly value and guide me to overcome every temptation and every doubt that has become strongholds in my life in Jesus name.
I will praise thee for ever oh Lord, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

Bible verse: Proverbs 8:34-35
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

Message
Have you been turning deaf ears to the warnings of the Lord, from His Ambassadors, and those truthful and dedicated ones that represent Him?
Do you think it necessary or right to wait at His doors seeking counsel and wisdom?
Do you prefer loving the treasures of this world than the treasures in heaven?
Do you seek God each day of your life, or only on Sundays?
Are you patient enough to knock and wait until the door is opened and and will not depart until something is given?
Do you eagerly anticipate each opportunity when your destiny helper may appear to offer further understanding?

Jacob wrestling the whole night with the strange man, seeing he prevailed not and without giving up said: "I will not let thee except thou bless me."
Are you like Jacob who will not let any defeat, or temptation, or failure or lack of focus derail him from holding tight to his destiny helper?

Beloveth, you should wait at the throne of grace, and upon the word and ordinances of the Lord, for answers of prayers and performance of promises of God upon your life.

Prayer
I pray that I may learn how to wait on You, to quietly rest in Your will, to live a life that is led by the Holy Spirit, a life that waits in patient expectation on You and to obtain favour of the LORD.
Renew my strength oh Lord, so I can mount up with wings as eagles; run and not be weary, walk and not faint in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Matthew 2:12
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

Message
Herod's intention was to search, find and destroy the young child Jesus.
And he sets his machineries into motion - not scared to use lies, insincerity to achieve his purpose.
He went to the extend of killing all the children that were in Bethlehem.
The method of the devil is the same, to find faults, fabricate rumours and lies, blindfold his victims and set up fear into their thinking process and kill their dreams and visions.

The wise men from the east to Jerusalem did not fall victim of Herod. They did not allow them to be an instrument to destruction, or aiding and abetting of killing the saviour.
Yes! the wise men refused to cooperate with Herod. They ignored him and any possible resulting consequences.
They obeyed the warnings of God and went a different way.

At this end time, many believers still fall victims of Satan. They allow his agents to woe them with information, rumours, outdated issues. They see the tree for a forest and instead of focusing on the plan of God in their lifes, in their relationships, instead of keeping their eyes on the road watching carefully every pothole and every danger hanging around, all they can see are faults, success of their neighbours with nagging and un-contentment.
They ignore warnings while expecting God to come down from heaven.

Satan will continue to keep you in captivity unless you reject to dance to his tone and his canny methods.
His agents will still continue to spread the word concerning what had been told, reveal some amazing stories to keep your heart jumping so you can misbehave and provoke anger in yourself.
Beloveth, what are you looking for in the new decade - news that will enroll you into depression or news that will uplift your mind, grant you peace of mind, allow you to focus on the promises of God for you, to have opened eyes and mindset and be able to locate your destiny helper?
The choice is yours.
It is few days to a new decade. Enough time for transformation and see things in God's perspective.
Your plans will not fail, your destiny will not be aborted, the desires of your heart will be granted if you like the wise men depart from allowing the devil to manipulate you.

Prayer
Dear Lord, let Your presence bless my life and cause Your face to shine upon me in Jesus name.
Renew my strength, Lord, and fill me with Your supernatural power to overcome each obstacle in my path.

Bible verse: Luke 1:68-69
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;

Message
God's promise of liberation and redemption - salvation - was all wrapped up in swaddling cloths placed under your Christmas tree labelled "God's Christmas gift".
You have unwrap all your Christmas gifts and surely find out just a few of the gifts that God gave to you through Jesus Christ.
With God's given Christmas gift, you no longer have to follow and obey Satan's design, no focus on him and his methods of going a fishing for the treasures of this world.

Now that you have received and unwrapped your God's Christmas gift, understood and decided to follow Christ, don't let the yoke of sin and wickedness run your life again.
Don't get entangled with serving Satan and/or doing his will, instead, dump those things that are obstructions to the will of God in that grave, keep a clean mindset, and enter the new decade with preference for heavenly treasures.

Prayer
Thank You Lord, for those wonderful Christmas gifts.
Unwrapping, I read in one of them of Your promise to provide me life that is worth living.
Life that is lived not for self, or Satan but for You my God, free from bondage of sin and Satan and without the fear of the unknown.
As the year is going to an end, my life shall be accompanied with those good things and my heavenly Father shall grant me refuge from every storm of life in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Luke 1:28,30
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

Message
Had Mary been a brawling woman, contentious woman, she wouldn't have found favour with God and be chosen to be the mother of our Lord Jesus.
Christmas, therefore, is expected to be time to recount your obedience, your holiness and faithfulness to Christ. Time to check and compare your lifestyle with the teachings of Christ, time to recount your blessings, speak of the gift of life, express appreciation and thankfulness of the good tidings.
It is the time to vow unto God that your unguarded mouth, any wicked and evil thoughts, provocating attitude deceit will end as you celebrate Christ.
It is time to expect God to send His angel to declare unto you "thou art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee".

Christmas, beloveth, is for purity and it is about the incarnation of Jesus Christ and therefore your celebration is to value Jesus, you to join the angelic host and proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem and NOT to focus on the commercialized aspects of the season.

Jesus came on a deliverance mission, to save sinners, in order to destroy the works of the devil.
Beloveth, Christ is to dominate more of your heart as you repent of your sins and having fun so that His coming shall not be in vain.

May this Christmas end the present year on a cheerful note and make way for a fresh and bright new decade.
Have yourself a very merry Christmas.

Prayer
thank You dear heavenly Father because You satisfy my mind, satisfy my emotions, satisfy my every desire, satisfy my soul in drought, satisfy me with Your loving-kindness, make fat my bones, make me like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Let me be counted one of those to be highly favoured, and find favour with God in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Proverbs 21:9
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

Message
A a brawling woman is one who causes strife and makes a home unpleasant and undesirable.
One who upon every occasion, and often upon no occasion, breaks out like a volcanic rock, splitting out ashes indiscriminately without an afterthought of the dangers of her actions or what comes out of her unguarded mouth.
Yes! it is better to stay in the workshop making another piece of worthless furniture than to try to have any pleasure with that contentious woman that has taken over the home.

The scriptures says: "it is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop", out of the hearing of her nagging and clamour, where you can at least have peace and quietness rather than in a spacious home with that argumentative, contentious woman.

Beloveth, it's easier, it's more comfortable, it's more peaceful to just go up on the roof and get away from this nagging and quarreling wife. Pull back from your post and assess the situation, and if need be, engage yourself with what best can give you relaxation, concentration and focus and hope in the Lord.

Hmmmm!!
All these might be better in many ways, but it's not to be chosen over your turning unto God who is able to make out of a quarrelsome wife a helpful and prudent wife.
Keep your eyes on the Lord Jesus without looking at your problems and ask God for patience and humility.

Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, keep me from frequent distractions f brawling woman by a sustained attention in reading, from all disquietude by great patience, from all unclean thoughts by holy meditation in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Psalm 107:28
28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

Message
When there is no more hope, God answereth. He will hear us amid the thunder and answer us out of the storm
When God freed His people from Egypt, they have in front of them the sea and behind chasing them the mighty army of Egypt. In their troubles and frustrations God bringeth them out of their distresses.
When Jonah ran away from the duties of God and was thrown out of the ship unto the sea God saved his life by positioning a fish to swallow him.
Daniel was thrown into the lion's den and God brought him out of distress.
When there was a big storm on the sea and Jesus was sleeping while his disciples were caught in panic and fear, God brought them out of their distresses.
Hagar was proud in Abraham's house, but humbled in the wilderness and God brought her out of her distresses.
In the days of Christ, there were many miseries of blindness, lameness, palsies, fevers, daemons but with His miraculous power Jesus brought them out of their distresses.
Peter. a professional fisherman went fishing the whole night but came with empty net but brought him out of unfruitfulness.
When you become trapped on the waves in your little boat of your life, look at the storms of life and assume that God forgotten you, never you loose hope and focus. God wants you to continuously seek Him, to trust and obey Him completely and joyfully.
God moves in mysterious ways He is covenant keeping God.
As you are entering the new decade, know and have the faith that God is bringing you out of every distresses.

Prayer
When it seems like my world is crumbling around me and I am thrown around by the storms of my life, when I feel surrounded by pressures on every side take away my fear and bring me out of my distresses.
When I don't have the strength to deal with the situation I am facing, please uphold me with Your righteous right hand in Jesus name.

Bible verse: Proverbs 1:8-9
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother
9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

Message
Parents are expected to be lecturers and mentors to their children, giving them adequate training on purity, gentleness, openness, truthfulness, forgiveness, obedience, impartiality and sincerity.
The family therefore, is God's basic school for instructing children how to live in the world.
Without this training, they will lack graciousness, humility, perseverance, mercy, and ruling of the spirit and of the tongue.
Do not forget that parents will give an account to God for how the minds and hearts of their children were shaped and molded.
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.
On the other hand, God calls sons and daughters to be submissive to their parents and He ordains a reward for those children who do not forsake the teachings of their mothers and fathers.
Don't forget that obedience will give them the grace and wisdom that gloriously enhance young reliable and faithful people and abundant of life as God's shining lights.
Their lights shall shine and they shall understand what brings truth value and worth to their lives.

Beloveth, if you have failed or gone astray from what God requires of you as a father or as a mother or as a son or as a daughter, you can still turn to the stronghold of the most high God for mercy and transformation.
Whatever be the sad combination of disaster which has overtaken you to neglect your God ordained duties, God is bound by His holy covenant, sealed by the blood of Jesus, to spare no effort till your soul is escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowler, until the snare is broken, and you are escaped and free indeed provided you seek God's grace and mercy.

Prayer
Thank You Lord that You have offered me forgiveness and the gift of new life in You.
I declare that I will make Your desires my desires so that my thoughts will be more pure, holy, and righteous.
I give, therefore, my will to You, Lord, so that You can turn my heart in whatever way You desire and grant me the spirit and characteristics of mentorship in Jesus name.
