Insisting for What You Desire: A New Year's Reflection
It's the second day of the year, and I want to remind us of the power of insistence. I recall the last day of the previous year when I wrote down everything I no longer wanted to see in the new year. One scripture that came to mind was Nahum 1:9, which says, "What do you imagine against the Lord? He will make an utter end; affliction shall not rise up the second time."
For every setback we faced last year, the Lord declares, "No more!" The struggles will not resurface, just as we wrote in our list. I remember quickly skimming and scanning the list before I tossed it into the bonfire—symbolizing the end of the old and the beginning of something new.
As we continue this year, we must hold on to our faith and insist on the desires we’ve placed before the Lord. When God said, "Put me in remembrance," He called us to contend for what we want. We are to ask God to bring forth everything He has promised, trusting that He will help us triumph over life's challenges.
2024 might have thrown its blows but God wants to walk in the fullness of his person. There are so many personalities of God, and these realities cannot be unveiled until we insist on seeing God reveal himself.
This year let's remain persistent in prayer. Keep asking for what you desire, because when we rise up in prayer and insist on change, that’s when revival begins.
As we press forward in prayer, may our desires be granted according to God's will, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Stay revived and keep insisting!
