A FRUITFUL NEW YEAR IN CHRIST JESUS
“So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.” Isaiah 61:3
Tissues in living organisms undergo constant change and renewal. The old gives way to the new and a new dawn arises. The night is overtaken by the daylight and joy comes in the morning. Life is about the search for rejuvenation and keeping up with it. As we enter the new year, endeavor to live the old self behind and search for ways to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul. Leave all malice, anger, hurts, disappointments, deceit, hatred, evil deeds, animosities, and all forms of vices behind you. The old self needs to be regenerated for the new year. If you do that, you are sure to launch yourself into a peaceful, prosperous, and a happy new year. A new you will eventually be unearthed and all your relationships and interactions will hit a new level of success. By pruning yourself of the things that set you back in the year 2019 and putting on the new garment of potential things that will bring success you set yourself up for the upward calling of your maker. You are destined for glory but you can only realize that if you remain connected and firmly rooted to your maker.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit” (Jeremiah 17:7-8).
“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither -- whatever they do prospers” (Psalm 1:1-3).
If our minds, bodies, and souls, are rooted in the Lord, He will take the difficulties, disappointments, grief, and illness in our lives and if we let Him, He will cause our “root system” to stretch and go deeper in Him. We will not be moved by any circumstances. When we are in Christ, we are connected to the source of all living water! We will be fresh and rejuvenated all the time. The Lord does not want the circumstances that surround us to affect or hinder our success or our perception of His goodness.
The Lord wants us to experience prosperity and fruitfulness in the midst of drought in the year 2020. Prosperity comes in many ways, it’s not always financial. It may come as a God-given insight, a creative idea, or wisdom that will eventually bring great abundance to us personally and corporately. As we remain in Him, according to John 15, we will bear much fruit in this new year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A NEW DAWN OF HOPE AND PEACE!
Easter has just past and many people celebrated it in diverse ways and for diverse reasons. Some people even don't know why they joined in the celebration. But for whatever reason there may be, Easter is truly about one man's sacrifice on the cross for the atonement of the sins of humankind. That man was Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He was God's only beloved Son who He willingly gave to the world to died for our transgressions.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
At the beginning of creation, there was an unobstructed access and intimate fellowship between man and God. God visited man in the Garden of Eden at the early hours of the day to commune with him. Man to talk freely to God like a father and son. But the disobedience of man to the commandments of God breached this fellowship and man became alienated from his maker.
"but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die." Genesis 2:17
"When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it." Genesis 3:6
Sin entered the world because of one man's disobedience. Sin leads to spiritual death because you become spiritually separated from the giver of eternal life.
"12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16

Sin entered the world because of one man's disobedience. Sin leads to spiritual death because you become spiritually separated from the giver of eternal life.
13 To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law.14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.
15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! 16 Nor can the gift of God be compared with the result of one man’s sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:12-21
Christ death on the cross made peace between us and God. He died for the ungodly to be made godly again. He reconciled us with God who poured His Holy Spirit into us so that we, who are saved by grace can now be called the children of God? Are you a child of God or a child of the evil one? If you confess your sins and accept the fact that Jesus paid the price for your sins through His death on the cross, and invite Him into your heart today, you will be saved.
"5 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation." Romans 5:5-11
The Easter message is very simple. Christ died to save humankind from condemnation and to bring us peace with God so that "whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Hi death represents death to sin in our mortal bodies. His resurrection indicates the hope that we have in Christ and victory over sin. It represents death to the old man and a new life in Christ.
May the death and resurrection of Christ bring you peace in your marriage, job, family, finances, and mental faculties. May His resurrection bring you hope and prosperity both physically and spiritually. May any dead issues in your life be brought back to life in Jesus' name. May sicknesses vanish and be put to dead, and may a new dawn of health abound in your life. May you experience the power of the risen Lord in all spheres of your life. Blessings!

A YEAR OF RESTORATION
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
5 Strangers will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
6 And you will be called priests of the LORD, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast.
7 Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.
8 “For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and wrongdoing. In my faithfulness I will reward my people and make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed.”
10 I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.
Isaiah 61:4-11
Do you feel devastated? Have you lost all hope because you have not had your prayers answered? Have you given up in life because you are unemployed? Are you having financial problems? Are you fighting a life-threatening disease? I am here to proclaim to you that this is your year of breakthrough. You must accept this by faith like a child who trusts whatever his/her parents say. If you have faith like the mustard seed, you can move mountains. It is your faith that will bring your deliverance and restoration. Meditate on this passage today and allow it to come to life in your life. The Lord has proclaimed and He shall perform it.
BLESSINGS!
