Text: Isaiah 1:18-19; 3:10-11

Exhortation:
We may not know the future but we know the God who owns the future. Through the lens of His Word, we can see into the 2024. The coming year may be new to us but it is not new to God who is the Beginning and the Ending; the Alpha and Omega; and the First and the Last. He is the Controller of times and seasons. Therefore, we have no reason to be anxious or worried because our times are in his hands.
Isaiah 3:10-11, says, “Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.”
Also, the word of God says, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.” Isaiah 1:18-20.
Everybody, irrespective of his spiritual status, has the opportunity to get the best of God in the New Year. The Sinner, if he will be willing to repent and obey God, will eat the good of the land. The righteous, if he will not be tired of obeying and doing the will of God, will see God’s glory in a new dimension.
God’s plan for you in the New Year is big and glorious. You only need to cooperate with Him every step of the way and you will enjoy all-round divine favour in 2024. Throughout the New Year, the sound of salvation, celebration, joy and victory will be heard in our homes in Jesus name.
Prayer Nugget: Father, please, help us to walk with you steadfastly in the New Year in Jesus name.
