A NEW BEGINNING
Memorise: And he that sat upon the
throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for
these words are true and faithful. Revelation 21:5
Read: Isaiah 43:19; Bible in one year:
Isaiah 1-2; Acts 1
When someone promises to give you a
gift, before you begin to celebrate, find out whether the fellow has the
wherewithal to fulfil the promise, or else you may be disappointed. The good
news is that the Almighty God, who knows no impossibility, said in Isaiah 43:19
that He would do a new thing for His children this year. I pray for someone
using this devotional that something pleasantly new and glorious will happen to
you this year in Jesus’ Name.
However, for something new to happen.
The old must give way. In Genesis 32:24-28, the angel said to Jacob that his
old name must give way for a new one. The Lord said this same thing to his
grandfather and grandmother-Abraham and Sarah, whose names were changed from
Abram and Sarai respectively. The old names that have brought misfortune and
agony to someone using this devotional will change this year in Jesus’ Name.
you must let go of your old ways of living if you want to experience a glorious
new beginning this year. Your old ways of thinking and your old ways of doing
things, especially your ungodly behaviour, must give way. You must change your
master if this master is not Jesus Christ. Jesus is calling all those who
labour and are heavy laden to come to Him. He promised to give as many as shall
come to Him a new beginning to joy and victory if they would accept His
Lordship, take His yoke upon themselves, learn of Him and keep His commandments
(Matthew 11:28-30)
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a
new
creature: old
things are passed away;
behold, all things
are become new.”
2nd
Corinthians 5:17
The implication of this passage of
scripture is great. It means that if you come to Jesus Christ, your sinful
living becomes history, because not only will you be forgiven, the power behind
“go and sin no more” will be your portion also. This was the experience of the
woman caught in the sin of adultery who was forgiven by the Lord (John 8:11).
My sincere prayer for you this New Year is that the abundant life in Jesus
Christ will be your portion, in Jesus’ mighty Name. Happy New Year!!!
Prayer Point
Father, I stand on your promise of
glorious new things for me and my loved ones, and I claim these promises for
abundant joy in this New Year in Jesus’ Name.
