Morning with Ebenezer

START WITH THE LORD

You crown the year with Your goodness,

And Your paths drip with abundance.

Psalm 65:11 NKJV

In this day of New Year, many people use it as an excuse to do every kind of evil and forget that it was by the grace of God they have seen the New Year. There are many things which take place in the night of New Year and God knows how many people end up in regrets when the day comes.

For us who are in Christ Jesus, this is the time to sit down and try to look back what we did in the previous year. What went wrong on our sides and what we need to fix and improve in this New Year. This is time to make it an agenda to increase our relationship with the Lord and continue building good relationships with our neighbors especially those who are household of faith.

Maybe there was a certain sin which kept on putting you down last year; or there is a certain behavior that you had less or no control over it. In this day of the New Year, is the time of you to sit down and ask the Lord to give you strength in this coming year to overcome that sin or behavior. This is the time of letting go people who hurt you in 2013 and ask that God to forgive them and give them grace to change.

This morning, I just want to encourage you to start the New Year 2014 with the Lord Jesus Christ. If He was Lord of your life in 2013, make sure to ask Him to continue holding your hand and ordering your steps in 2014. Ask the Lord that He may give you grace to change and grow in the love of Him in every new day.

Take a time to pray for your family, friends, and all people in your circle of influence that they may know the Lord. Pray for the Church of Jesus Christ in this world without forgetting praying for your government and nation as the whole. Ask the Lord to bring revival on this age, ask the Lord to send out ministers who will preach the Gospel with all humility. Pray that God may prosper you in every corner of your life in this New Year. May God bless you, Happy New Year!
