In The Beginning Of The New Year

What is on top of your priority list for this New Year? How do you intend to start the year? The beginning of a thing has a tremendous influence on the ending of that thing. As such, how you start this year will determine how you will end the year. This post tells you what you would need to do in the beginning of this year to sail through successfully and end the year with great blessings.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it – John 1:1-5 (NKJV).

It is good to start the New Year on a good footing or foundation if you desire to experience the blessings of God all through this year. Psalm 11:3 says, “If the foundations be destroyed what can the righteous do?” If you don’t lay a solid foundation now, the year may be challenging more than you can manage. A right beginning will release the wisdom, knowledge and understanding (Ephesians 1:17-18) that you need to go through all the days of the year victoriously.

 

The scriptures in John 1:1-5 give us the building blocks for a solid foundation for a New Year. These include:

The word of God should come first in your life

The world started with the word of God. All we see created by God came from the word of the Lord (Hebrews 11:3) and they are still standing and obeying the laws governing their creation (Jeremiah 33:20-21). Therefore studying the scriptures and laying them in your heart and practicing them will cause the word of the Almighty to be made manifest in your life throughout the year. Start everyday with feeding your spirit man with word of God and you will see the day starting and ending for your good (Romans 8:28). Read more...
