Today in church (Streams of Joy, Owerri), I was richly blessed by the word of God as we dived into the concept of the NEW with the theme: THUS SAITH LORD, I WILL DO A NEW THING.
Here are some key things I learnt:
📍GOD has an agenda, and it is clearly stated in His word. The more you are aligned to God’s agenda, the more the new will burst out in your life.
📍 Don’t be too fixated on what God can/will do for you this new year. Rather, find out what God wants to be done this year and align yourself to it.
📍 Every new thing comes with peculiar instructions. (Luke 1:1-17) Don’t expect to have different results in 2025 if you are not ready to take instructions that you’re not used to.
📍 Everything God does, He does in the spiritual (Ephesians1:3, Luke 1:80). You need to build spiritual capacity to download and access what God is doing.
📍 Building spiritual capacity is as simple as reading your Bible and praying daily, intentionally practicing the presence of God, singing and listening to songs that glorify God and surrounding yourself with people who hunger and thirst for God.
📍Christianity is a walk of the Spirit. The stronger you are in the Spirit, the more of the NEW you can access. How much of the word of God are you consuming? (James 1:25) If you’re not spiritually strong, you will be a victim.
📍 The new comes in a tray called discomfort. If you cannot endure, you will not carry the new. Until you embrace discomfort, you will not see the new.
📍 Most importantly, without the grace of God, you will never embrace the new. Intentionally pray and ask God for grace daily.
I hope this blesses someone today.
Happy first Sunday in 2025!!! 😍😍😍
Never forget that God is a responsible father. He loves you more than you could ever love yourself. He cares about you more than you can ever care for yourself.❤️
