Title: A New Year, A New Beginning.

-
Happy New Year, dear friends!

As we step into 2026, I want to share a heartfelt message with you on the theme: A New Year, A New Beginning.  

Scripture focus: Isaiah 43:19 KJV Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

Reflection: You have completed another year of life, and for that we give glory to God who spared us from dangers and perils. Just as the Psalmist declared, “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer” (Psalm 18:2), we acknowledge His faithfulness in carrying us through 2025.  
  Now that we have entered a new year, it is time to briefly reflect on the pitfalls of the past and rise from its ashes. Remember the story of Joseph: though betrayed and imprisoned, he rose to prominence in Egypt because he trusted God’s plan (Genesis 50:20). Likewise, your setbacks in 2025 are not the end—they are stepping stones to greater victories in 2026.  
  This new year is a fresh beginning. As Isaiah 43:19 reminds us, “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” God is opening new doors, creating new paths, and setting you on course for divine breakthroughs.  
  So, earnestly begin to implement your plans for the year. Commit them to the Lord, for “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans” (Proverbs 16:3). If you remain steadfast, by this season next year you will finish big and give glory to God for the wonders He has done in your life.  
  My prayer for you is that 2026 will be a year of restoration, growth, and testimonies. May you walk in wisdom like Solomon, in faith like Abraham, and in courage like David. May your new beginning be filled with joy, peace, and divine favor.  
  Happy New Year once again! May the Lord crown this year with His goodness and cause your paths to overflow with abundance (Psalm 65:11).

Title: Divine Acceleration.

-
Genesis 41:40-41  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. Devotion: Have you ever felt like your dreams are taking too long to come true? Like you're walking a slow path while others seem to be racing ahead? Take heart—God is a God of acceleration! When He steps in, He can take you from waiting to walking in His promises in an instant.   Consider the story of Joseph. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit—it seemed like his dreams were slipping further away. But when God's appointed time arrived, Joseph was promoted from the prison to the palace in a single day! (Genesis 41:14-41). Years of waiting, hardship, and ...

Title: Wisdom from God.

-
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Devotion:  If you’ve ever gone on a trip somewhere you’ve never been, you know how important it is to have a map. Maps help us navigate the unknown areas ahead. Similarly, God’s Word helps us navigate through the unknown seasons of life. It reveals God’s wisdom, which can be essential in guiding our lives.  The book of Proverbs is filled with wisdom and knowledge that helps people live according to God’s purposes for their life. It starts by acknowledging that everything begins with God.   Because God is the creator of life, He knows what direction our lives should go. Our role, according to Proverbs, is to seek Him and trust Him. Trusting God means having a relationship with Him and believing that He knows what's best for us.   The more we trust in God and submit our lives to Him, the more we wi...
