- Praise God for bringing us into 2015.
- Reflect on all that you know happened in 2014 – the floods, earthquakes, typhoons, bomb blasts, stray bullets, armed robberies, fire outbreaks, plane crashes, kidnappings, suicide bombings etc, etc, etc……. yet God saved you and brought you to this new year.
- Praise Him for all the journeys you made (by land, air & sea) in the year, the blessings you received, answered prayers and surprises. The Lord is good.
- For all the blessings of 2014, we thank you Lord.
FIND THE ROOT OF YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT. ASK THE LORD FOR HEALING AND RENEWED JOY!
- When you get up each day, remind yourself, \”This is the day the Lord has made!\” Each day you could be distracted by lots of confusion, the needs of the day, and oh yes – people! You have expectations of how things should go, and then when they do not go that way, everyone around you becomes a disappointment. Out of disappointment comes lost time, sickness from hope deferred, bitterness, and judgments. But God says: \”I have determined your seasons — not you. I am the God of seed-time and harvest. Because you have strived to stay in a season that I have determined to end, you have lost the power of seed-time and miss the harvest. I am opening a window to reorder My blessings and set you in My timing. Submit today, and allow Me to determine the season ahead. For today, a new season has shifted upon you and if you will allow Me to be the determining factor of that season, your best will be ahead.\”
- ASK THE LORD FOR A NEW INFUSION OF GRACE!!!! 2 Cor. 4:15-18 says, \”Every detail works to your advantage and to God\’s glory: more and more grace, more and more people, more and more praise! So we\’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There\’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can\’t see now will last forever.\” (The Message)
