Just a few minutes to 12 o’clock AM, the fireworks at my local church began. We were all eagerly awaiting the dawn of the new year. Oh, how beautiful the fireworks were as the new year clocked in! God is set to glorify us in this new year, and we must remember that for everything we desire from the Lord, He will do it. But we have a role to play.
It is necessary for us to take charge of the new year from the start. Yes, you may have lost some opportunities last year, but thank God we didn’t lose our lives. It’s a new year, and the Lord is set to glorify us. For us to be in charge this year, the book of 1 Corinthians 16:9 tells us, “For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, but there are many adversaries.”
This verse reminds us that a great door has been opened to us this year for there are adversaries, so to get the adversaries off our part and take what's ours is the game plan. The Lord is ready to glorify and settle us. However, we must contend to claim what is ours,
Deuteronomy 2:24 tells us: Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Armon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite king of Heshbon and his land, begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
"Whatever we desire this year, the Lord, has given it to us" Life gives us what we demand from it. Whatever we watch, God allows to happen, but when we contend and demand what we desire, God gives us what we desire.
As we resolve to write our new year resolutions, let us remember that the Lord is set to glorify us, but we must play our part and contend for what we desire. I strongly believe that as the Lord lives, His word will not fall to the ground, and whatever we ask in the name of Jesus according to His will shall be delivered to us.
Amen.
Happy New Year!
