LET THE NEW YEAR BE

Let the New Year be a year that you become a ride for God that His presence occupies you to become established in you.
Ask God to make you become a rideable one for His presence.
A tied donkey became a rideable one for Jesus.
Matthew 21:1-3 documents, “Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
Jesus needed a ride for His glory.
A donkey tie had to be released for Jesus to ride for His glory.
Matthew 21:7 confirms, “So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.”
For the Year 2024, Meditate in prayer that whatever is tying you down, to deny your availability as a ride and fill by the presence of God, shall release you by the Word of God that asks for your release, in the name of Jesus.    
NEED TO GIVE YOURSELF TO THE WORD OF GOD 
Let the new beginning become a season of fulfillment (realization) of God in your life.
All it takes to live a life of the fulfillment of God is to become constantly filled and full of the Word of God that was in the beginning with God. 
John 1: 1-2 describes, “…the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.”
The realization of God in your life will be the evidence of light that shines in the darkness of the wicked world.
Spending time on the Word of God is a time of listening to the voice of God that speaks for all to obey. 
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 records for all, “If you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you because you obey the voice of the LORD your God.”  
Give self to the Word of God.
Gain and retain the presence of God to have rest in the promise of God. 
New Year resolution will not give the rest as the Word of God will. 
Let your resolution be in the presence of God. 
The presence of God is in the Word of God. 
Through the journey, the children of Israel were being led constantly by the presence of God,
giving the Israelites direction and leadership that always resulted in rest when they were obedient. 
NEED TO KNOW THE NEW YEAR
The Old Year is gone while the New Year is on.
Interestingly, the enemy remains the same but operates differently. 
By prayer, God will see His people through the journey of a year.
The year is full of promises of God. 
The promise of God is a blessing. 
His promises do not have sorrow embedded in it. 
Proverbs 10:22 informs all, “The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.” 
The blessings of God come with condition.
The conditions of His blessing can be uncomfortable and inconvenient, exceedingly challenging. 
The conditions of claiming His blessing cannot be compromised.
In the journey of a year, know to claim the blessing of God, and with desire, pray that God will enable you to live for Him.
NEED TO PRAY
Pray before God to see you through the journey of a year. 
Ask God to wake you up from sleeping physically or spiritually, not to become a victim of evil. 
Ecclesiastes 3:1 informs all there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven. 
In the place of praying, sleeping will cause one to miss the visitation of God.
Jesus and some of His disciples went to pray on Mount Gethsemane. 
At the time of prayer, Jesus rose from prayer and came to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow (Luke 22:45).
In the New Year, desire to become prayerful.
Acys 6:4 encourages, “But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
Let prayer be your way of life in the New Year. 
Understand and know there is no reasonable excuse for the consequence of not spending time in prayer. 
Today and in the coming days, be watchful and prayerful as 1 Peter 4:7 mentioned that the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.
Be awake and not miss to gain and retain the presence of God.
