The year 2019 has come and gone and God has preserved us alive to crossover to the year 2020 is an indication that he has not finished with us.
Having crossed over to the New Year 2020 is an indication that His plan and purpose for our lives are still on course. Have you known the plan and purpose of God for your life?
Before saying anything further, please join me as we sing this hymn of praise to God.
Stanza 1
To God be the glory, great things He hath done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.
Refrain
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He hath done.
Stanza 2
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
Stanza 3
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our rapture, when Jesus we see.
What the year 2020 will be to you, you determine it by ensuring that you play your own part while God does the rest. In other words, we all have personal responsibilities towards making the year 2020 memorable and glorious.
Having said that, the book of 2 Chronicles 27:6 it was said “So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God. What this place is trying to bring out is that we need to prepare our self before the Lord if we wish or intend the 2020 to be fruitful to us.
Practically, some churches, as part of the preparation engaged in prayers and fasting, some has started while others are yet to start. Some engaged or are engaging in 21 days fast, some 14 days fast. Please my candid advice is that you avail yourself the opportunity to participate in the fast.
I said this because nothing good comes for nothing. You must pay prize if you achieve greatness. Preparing yourself in prayer and fasting helps secure your future against the onslaught of the devil. Don’t be left out. Shalom!
