It is good to be back. Just missed one week’s of blogging. I pray that you had a great holiday. I did. Went down to Penang to be with mum and dad, had a great time. And a miracle took place – did not put on any weight.
Lots of things have happened over these few weeks – the Allah issue, the challenges of 2009., etc.
I just want to encourage you with something that God put in my heart for 2010.
2010 is a Year of New Beginnings and we need to expect the Favor of God
Is.43:18,19 “ Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
This is what God is going to do in 2010.
New things
New things are going to spring forth – sudden outbursts of God’s favor
New things – road in the wilderness, rivers in the desert
Amidst your lack, you shall experience God’s abundance
Amidst you sorrow, you shall experience God’s joy
Amidst your sickness, you shall experience God’s healing
Amidst your confusion, you shall experience God’s peace
Amidst your despair, you shall experience God’s purpose
Amidst your darkness, you shall experience God’s light
Get ready for God to intervene. We have a God who is able. We have a God who is on our side. “If God is for us who can be against us,”
Step out of your past
Learn from your past but release it to God. Confess your sin. Your past must never prevent you from moving into your future. Your past is a good rudder to guide but now an anchor to keep you back
Step into God’s promises
Hold to God’s Word whatever your circumstance. God will fulfill His Word.
Stay focused on God
Have a greater passion for God. It is only God that can bring these new things to pass.
Start expecting God’s Favor
Dwell in an environment of faith and expectation. Dare to believe God
As a Church, this year is going to see some unprecedented things take place as God releases His favor.
Hooray,I'm the first in 2010 to post a comment.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though it was a great comment and an uplifting sermon last sunday on the matter. As the year beckons, we should put our faith in God and I for one am looking forward to a lot after a horrendous year in 2009. Keep up the good blogging.
