Message for Saturday the 31^st of Dec. 2016 Cross over into the New Year Service

Theme: Understanding the power in Appreciating the Lord

Topic: Appreciating God’s goodness this year as a whole

Introduction: As this year comes to an end, a scripture that would not leave me is Ps.65:11 which tells us that the Lord crowns the year with His goodness! What a joy to know the Lord and be given the privilege of walking in His ways. At the close of last year, the Lord graciously announced to us that this year shall be our year of divine exemption from all evil. He told me then that the circumstances in the world would get worse for the lost but for us and especially for the Kingdom Heirs family, it shall be a year of DIVINE EXEMPTION FROM ALL EVILS! He made an analogy with the story of the children of Israel in Goshen when God decided to put a difference between Israel and the Egyptians and said when the world would be crying for hunger, we shall be feeding the hungry. The Lord brought all of these to pass for us as a Church family and as individuals.

FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY: As I reflect back on how this year has gone, I must admit that I have never seen God’s action this way before. I must say like Joshua and Solomon respectively (These men lived in different centuries):

“… and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.” Jos.23:14

“Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.” Solomon in 1Kings 8:56

For us as a people, God did much more than He said. He fulfilled His word to the letter. He enabled us to plant a Church in Nigeria and build it on our own property. Service in the Church started on the twelfth of June this year and today, the baby branch has graduated leaders from our bible school through our Nehemiah project – a 52 days bible school. Many of the grandaunts have found their voice. One of them has gone on to plant a branch of our Church in another area of Badagry.

We have experienced various testimonies to the good hand of the Lord upon our lives this year. We have seen God healing the sick and raising saviours from Zion who are arising to take responsibility for the harvest the Lord spoke to us about.

More can be said concerning the Church in Ghana but I will leave that to the Senior Pastor of the Ghana Churches.

In republic of Benin, through our seminars to leaders in that country, we saw live transformed and testimonies of healings and divine exemptions.

WHAT NOW? As this year winds to a close, the Lord has graciously spoken to us again concerning next year. He has declared next year to be REHOBOTH unto us; for now the Lord hath made room for us and we shall be fruitful in the land. This is in fulfilment of His word to us to receive some portion of the harvest for this end times.   

This is therefore a great way to finish the year as we engage gratitude for all the Lord has done for us and been to us. It is indeed going to be a night of celebration for us as we celebrate the goodness of the Lord into the New Year.

For anyone here now who is still unsaved, you can express your appreciation of the goodness of the Lord today by receiving the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ and therefore make Him your Saviour and Lord. If you want to do so right away, please say the following prayer out loud in faith and you will be born again and commence this glorious journey with the Lord:

Heavenly Father,

Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the fatherhood of Satan and embrace Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name! Amen.
