1. Be thankful no matter what.
Job 37:5
God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; He does great things beyond our understanding.
What is that marvellous deed in your life that you cannot explain?
How has God’s voice thundered marvellously in your life ? So much so that you don’t even understand how it happened .
He thunders in your marriage perfectly
His direction is in the up bringing of your children perfectly.
What about that ability he has given you to put food on the table .
What about the family members he has protected in your lifetime ?
He does great things beyond your understanding.
Like the illness he has already found a solution for before you go through it.
Like the choice he helps you make that lands up to be the best decision in your life and you only realise that the hand of God was behind it when you reach the end of that decision .
What about the things he has prevented you from having for your own good and only in years will you realise that not having that was probably the decision of God for your own Good.
Job 37:23
The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;
in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress.
Pray :-
Let’s join in in thanking him for all the in’s and out’s in our life. That which has gone by and that which is yet to come .
2. Let go of your identity. Be identified in him.
The world identifies us in one way and sometimes we take that as the reality.
Look with you spiritual eyes and identify yourself with God. Who does he say you are?
Don’t beg in the wrong place , reach out to him who is your maker.
Is you identify a worldly pleaser
Is your identity melancholy
Is you identity pride
Is your identity fear
Is your identify shyness
Is your identity laziness
Is your identity worldly satisfaction
Is your identity in your bank balance
What is you identity that is holding you back from seeing the true picture of God in your life.
Let it go in 2024 and identify yourself in Jesus .
No longer a beggar but a Victor .
My Bible verse for the year : -
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
“My life is in You, Lord,
My strength is in You, Lord
My hope is in You, Lord
In You, it's in You.”
Pray:
Lord open up my spiritual senses to identify my self in you and your purpose. I throw away my earthly identity and put on the heavenly cloak you have prepared for me .
3. Psalms 13
Psalm 13
How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
Look on me and answer, LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him, ”
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing the LORD’s praise,
for he has been good to me.
Identify the person who is faithful and about to break . May be the Lord placed you there only to uplift their faith.
