My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The blessed word that God has given you for today is from the book of Psalms 65:11, “You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance.”
My dearly beloved, God will surely crown this year with His goodness. When you think of God’s goodness, it would be a great blessing because the blessing of the Lord makes one rich and does not add sorrow to it. God alone can give a blessing that does not cause sorrow. God says, By His goodness, He is going to crown this year. How many of you think that this year should be crowned with the goodness of God. The Bible says, Hereafter you shall not be hungry, neither shall you be thirsty. God is assuring you this New-year that you will neither hunger nor thirst. God promises that He will not leave you in famine or in thirst. You shall be fed and well watered. The Bible says, all the children shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water. There will be no drought. Because the Lord who is guiding you will lead you to a fertile land. He will lead you by the still waters. So, the Lord who crowns this year with His goodness, will hold your hand and lead you in order that you might enjoy His goodness, in green pastures. He will feed you with the finest of wheat, and drink the honey from the rock, God will lead you by the river side near springs of water.
The word of God says, because He is concerned about you, He will do all things well for you. God is not blessing you because of your talent, or because of your good works. God looks at you and is very gracious and merciful towards you. He knew that you had suffered a lot last year, due to various reasons. But it should not continue this year also and so He Himself is wanting to lead you by holding your hand to these springs of water. He will provide the source of living, the spring of your income, the spring of your power, and the spring of your faith, God will open for you in the coming year and help you to flourish in your life. Until yesterday you were suffering from all kinds of perils and dangers, you experienced a lot of fear and threat. But this year God wants to bless you with peace from all sides. In this New Year God will crown the year with His goodness. God will change everything for your tgood and benefit of your life.
In the Bible, we see how Joseph’s brothers caused evil to him by throwing him into the deep pit and later sold him to the Egyptian merchants. But God out of mercy changed the evil for his good. God made him the governor of Egypt. And through him, his father Jacob and his brothers were blessed. God who changed, the evil into a blessing for Joseph will also do the same for you. He will not allow you to suffer because of evil. He is a God without partiality. Will He not do for you as He did for Joseph. God will surely do for you. May God help you to live in faith.
Prayer: Dear Lord we thank You. Lord, You said, that You crown the year with Your goodness. According to Your promise please bless Your children and crown the year with Your goodness. Lord bless them with good job, with good life partner, and may they be well settled in life. May their business be prosperous. Help them to do good ministry. Let all barriers be broken, and let their lives be rebuilt and resurrected. Help them to see good days in life. May your children experience Your Presence and your love abundantly. I pray and bless them in the name of Jesus. Help them to see many wonders in their life.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
