I wish you a wonderful and prosperous New year .it is my desire to spell out what christians should prepare for in this New year .
We are in the endtimers and almost all the prophecies regarding the return of Jesus Christ has almost been fufilled.
However,the last one which is going to be the greatest event in human history (The rapture) is yet to be fufilled.
I write to you as this New year begins ,begin with a very closer study of the bible and prayer.
We eat physical food three times daily and drink three times daily.
The question is do we read the bible and pray the same number of times?
What takes our time away from GoD?
Of a truth if we don't take physical food ,we would get weak ,but the effect is much worse for spiritual side if we don't eat or drink spiritually.
Our spirit would get weak,we would not grow,we would remain spiritual dwarfs and be prone to satanic attacks which when it manifests turns out to be the temptation we fall into.
Job 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

Physical food is likened to necessary food,but spiritual food is necessary for spiritual growth.
Some christians think growth is measured by the large members,physical structures,large finances and all material increase.
They are totally wrong because all those things are vain and vanity.
They are going no where.
I challenge christians to read their bibles the same number of times they eat physical food this year and also pray the same number of times they drink physical water this year.
It is not a law ,but it is a good challenge.
We know that Muslims pray 5 times a day not to the true GOD ,but to a fallen god called Allah.
The amount of dedication, devotion,consecration,and meditation they put into it is so shocking and surprising.
How much more we christians by feeding on God's word shall be made spiritually strong and shall grow to the measure and stature of the son of God Jesus Christ.
Many christians don't even know their spiritual Birthday!!!
The physical birthday was the day you were born in sin,in iniquity.
Psalms 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.


The day you gave your life to christ was the day you BECAME BORN AGAIN.
it is the Spiritual Birthday.
John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Not of blood ie not of your parents,nor of the will of the flesh ie sometimes many parents born children out of wedlock,some women use pregnancy to hook a man,some born for kingship positions.
Some born children because of physical benefits,some are born in sin.
Nor of the will of man-family planning.
BUT OF GOD-born again,born in Righteousness.
[left]If you don't know the date but Know only your physical birthday,then there is serious problem of backwardness spiritually.
Let us think and remember that all the money we spent on food in year 2021 was large yet,majority of it went back into the dust.
Because of what the scripture says about food and the belly.

1 Corinthians 6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
I challenge you this year to cover the whole Bible.
The benefits of such is vast and cannot be emphasized.
David the psalmist knew the importance of the word of God.
By studying God's word we would also find answers to problems that Money can't solve.
Problems that Friends,families,business,Jobs can't solve.
We would prevail also over all the trials and temptations that Satan has planned for this year.
It is a shame if a Christian cannot quote the scriptures to fight spiritual dark powers.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,but against principalities and powers,spiritual wickedness in the High places,rulers of darkness of this world.etc.
Think about it,when christian are involved on a fight ,it is the word of God they are to speak back in any confrontation and not their Own words
Our own words have no effect,is not tried and tested ,cannot fight demons.
If we are having ambitions of pursuing anything out of God's will this year ,it means our belly would become our God and that way is destruction.
Philippians 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
The world is passing away and I tell you it is Heavenly things that would last forever.
Are you going to complete the bible reading this year?
This is the real challenge.
The second challenge brings spiritual victory.
Jesus Christ says we should deny ourselves daily.

Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

What does this mean?
Man loves pleasure ie entertainment,playing etc which the word of God terms as Idolatry.
When we abstain from such things we are denying our flesh which loves these things from pleasure.
By doing so we begin to move at quantum speed spiritually.
It is by the power of the Holy Spirit we can do so.
By seperating ourselves from the world.The lust of the eyes,(what we love to watch,) the lust of the flesh(what we love to feel,touch,taste,hear smell,see and Do) the flesh dies to sin and we are alive spiritually.
Since the flesh is from dust,we love thins of the dust ,but the spirit loves things of the spirit hence the struggle between spirit and the flesh.
So that we can't do what we wished to always do!!!
Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

James 4:5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
The pride of life(your achievement,your success inthis world,be it Academically,professionally or occupationally) outside of Christ is all nothing and is going no where in heaven.
Hence,it is only on this earth it remains and would perish there.
What else would you still be struggling for to achieve when Jesus Christ said I go to prepare a place for you,in my father's house are many Mansions?

Jesus Christ never lies,therefore let it be known,The only time christians would be entertained fully is in heaven where there is no sin.
All forms of entertainment on earth would have one form of iota of sin in it and people would not know they are sinning.
No wonder Job who first lived in luxury and was a billionaire feared if his children were cursing God when they were celebrating in their wealth.
Job 1:4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
1:5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Therefore many christians have misued heavenly blessings on earth and it has changed their direction to friendship with mammon.
May that not be your portion in Jesus name.
This month of january.
spend time with God ,forget church programmmes.
Have a personal relationship with God on your own.
Build a family altar.

Pray like never before for strength to run this year 2022 .
