Is.45:1-3
”Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to
subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him
the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; I will go before thee, and
make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut
in sunder the bars of iron: and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden
riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by
thy name, am the God of Israel.“
According to Amos 3:3, it is impossible for two people to walk together if they are
not in agreement, in the same vein, it is impracticable for one person to hold the
hand of another and use it for great things except they both agree to work together.
In taking stock of happenings in 2023, how much can you boldly declare what God
achieved through you, and how much did you achieve for God? Was your best
good enough for God in the year, do you feel God sees you as an approved
individual before Him? How eagerly did you seek God’s approval throughout the
year?
As we go into the new year 2024, bear in mind that God seeks the diligent in faith
and works for Him to pour His grace into. A man who is approved by God is a man
who is unstoppable by any powers that be, he has the authority of God to subdue
and dominate, to stop the onslaught of the enemy. The word of God for you as you
go in 2024 is that He will go before you and level the mountains. He will smash
down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. He will give you treasures
hidden in the darkness— secret riches. These will be done so you may know that
He is the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.
That God has the capacity to do all these and more for you is not in doubt, the
challenge is, does He know you by name? Our God will not give the bread of
children to dogs, the quality of your relationship with Him is the basis of which God
will do anything for a man. Therefore, see to it that you eagerly seek to, and
develop robust relationship with God in the new year, doing so starts by becoming
a member of the family of God and being yoked to together with Jesus in
discipleship.
The new year holds great promises for those who will be on the side of God, for
they are the ones he will hold in His hands and give power and authority to, with a
view to becoming unstoppable success story. Do everything within your ability to be
known and recognised by God as we go into the new year
