KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 28:20 KJV “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the WORLD”. Amen.

Our key scripture has a very important instruction to give us, yet I would want us to consider the second aspect of the verse, which says “lo l am with you always, even unto the end of the age”. This statement our Lord made is not a promise. If he had said I would be with you, then that could be described as a promise. In the scripture, he says,” I am with you”. This is a present continuous statement. It is a declaration of a fact not based on any condition. He is present with you. Never, never ask Him to be with you. That is a big sign of unbelief. Rather, affirm that He is with you always.

This should be your assurance for this new year. Jesus is always with you.

Jesus, the holder of tomorrow, says He is with you. Jesus, as the king of Kings, never walks alone. He has an entourage of angels accompanying Him. If He says He is with you, then you have angels all around you as well. These angels are ministering spirits called to minister or serve us the heirs of salvation. Hebrews 1:14. You will never walk alone. You are not facing any challenge alone. You have unseen beings with you to help you do your various assignments, studies at school, write your examinations, etc. They are there to protect you from danger. Approach every task with lots of confidence and with a mind to come out with the best output. Have an excellent attitude to produce the best works because, as a child of God, you are heavily assisted. Ask the Holy Spirit who is with you in the name of Jesus to always help you do your best. You would get the best from life by giving your best.

With the Lord‘s assurance of His presence, never speak of failure or defeat. Your thoughts, coupled with your words, create your experiences in life. With His presence, believe in the possibility of every good thing and call those things into being. You would get what you say in faith. Isaiah 44:26 KJV” That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; ‘God shall confirm your words spoken in faith. Your world is created by your words, according to Hebrews 11:3. You are a success. and has overcome every negative power. Whatever you engage to do shall be successful. You would not die but live to declare the goodness of the Lord. I declare you healed from any disease that has tormented you in the past years. Have a great year and put smiles on the faces of others.

CONFESSION.

Thank God for giving me a new year. The Lord Jesus is always with me. Nothing would evermore move me. In this year, the Lord’s name would be glorified in me. Satan’s kingdom will be depopulated through my witness.
