My beloved children in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. What blessed word does the Lord have for you today?
Let us read 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” In this New Year, declare that the old sinful life, the old life of poverty, the old life of debt, the old shame is gone. God says all things have become new!
You are expecting new blessings in the New Year. God places a question before those of you who desire new blessings. Have you become a new creation? If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. We can very well tell if a person is in Christ or not by his fruits. If a person is at the liquor shop , indulged in adultery, continuously finding fault with others and gossiping about it, we can clearly say he is not with Christ but is in the fault-finding spirit. This can be seen straight away without any need for investigation or inquiry.
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Today, your fruits will highlight your testimony to others. Many people pray, Give me the fruits of the Holy Spirit. That is not the right prayer. We can pray like God, give me the gifts of the Holy Spirit. That is the correct prayer. Those who receive the gifts should give the fruits of the Spirit.
We should give the fruits to the Lord. God won’t give us the fruits. The Lord will give us the gifts of the Holy Spirit, spiritual wisdom, spiritual words, and the anointing. You who have received all these should give the Lord the fruits of the Holy Spirit. It is with these fruits that we can recognize if you are with the Lord or with the devil. No one likes to be with the devil. There is no need to say that. They don’t like it but are not aware that they are with the devil. Today if you are involved in any sinful act, God desires that you come out of everything and experience a life of freedom. If you are in these sins, it indicates you are in slavery. Today commit your ways to the Lord. Ask the Lord to transform you into a new man. The Lord will work wonders!
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank You for your new blessings. Let my children adorn the characteristics of God. Let them take the new resolution to welcome you into their lives and become a new creation. In Jesus Name. Amen.
