Ezekiel 16:62 I will renew my covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD.
The Lord God pushes the refresh button at the end of every year to give us a brand new start. God gives us new beginnings to relinquish the old ways and habits to start afresh. We look forward to receiving a promise at the beginning of every year but to inherit the promise, our covenant with the Lord must be renewed.
It is like renewing our marriage vows on our wedding day every year. On the last day of the year we must renew our covenant to live lives holy and acceptable to the Lord. We must recommit not to be conformed to the ways of the world but be transformed to the likeness of Him who has called us. We must submit to live purposefully, fruitfully and passionately for the Lord.
Prepare in fasting and pray to start 2025 with expectancy, consistency and persistency. Entrust the New Year to the Lord. “But I trust in You, O Lord; I say, ‘You are my God’. My times are in Your hand.” (Psalm 31:14-15a). Receive wisdom, strength and diligence to enter into the New Year.
Prepare for 2025:
1. Expectancy: Expect God to speak to you in a personal way. Don’t just rely on your pastor or the prophets to give you a promise. Personalized promises are available to those who seek His face diligently. Expect a personalized promise and divine wisdom and guidance for 2025.
2. Consistency: Be consistent in your discipline and decisions. Consistency is the key to success and progress. Reorganize your schedule, recreation and routine to remain consistent to your goals and prayer routines.
3. Persistency: Make a resolute decision to remain faithful and persistent. 80% of the people forget about their New Year resolutions within the first 3 weeks of the year. Be the 20% who persist. Perseverance is richly rewarded in God’s economy.
The best is yet to come. Prepare to receive a personalized promise from the Lord. Make a resolute decision to remain consistent and perseverant.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for carrying me through 2024. Speak to me with a specific personalized promise for 2025 and give me the tenacity to remain consistent in my prayer and persistent in my godly ways. Make the year 2025 fruitful and purposeful. Amen.
