OUR YEARLY CROWN
Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. This is a New Year and most people have made many New Year’s resolutions. This is the Season people make many promises to change their life in some dramatic way. Unfortunately, by the middle of January, many have given up or forgotten all about their resolutions.
The Year of Commitment
Joshua 24:15
God’s Call to Divine Order!
What should we expect for a New Year? Many renew their commitments to Christ, which is wonderful. Some said they would strive to serve the Lord Jesus more fervently with Godly Fear. How do you Succeed and Fulfill your commitments to the Lord in the New Year? For one, you have to know who is in control of your life. God is in control of the times, seasons and years
The Bible says that God Crowns the Year with his Goodness and your path drop fatness. Fatness means abundance. Yes, God wants you to have Abundant Life. We do not know what a year will hold for us. But this we know, that God will crown (or anoint) our year with his goodness.
Does this mean we will not see trials or hard times? Of course not, but what it does mean is that God will be with us every step of the way, anointing (crowning) us with his Goodness. It does not say our Goodness, it says his (God's) Goodness.
God will also put abundance in our path. He will bring prosperity to our life. This is not just financial prosperity, although God has promised to prosper us, but this is abundance in every area of our life.
Jesus says, “The Thief (Satan) came to steal, Kill and destroy, But I am (God) has come to give you live and that more Abundantly (St. John 10:10). That’s right, abundant life is ours through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
God will crown (anoint) your year. He will give you abundant life. He says that he drops fatness (abundance) in your paths.
God watches over his word to perform what he has spoken (Jeremiah 1:12) , knowing his word never goes out empty or returns to him void, but accomplishes everything he sent it to perform (Isaiah 55:11). Now is the time for God to manifest his guaranteed Word without limitation, without hesitation, now more delay (Ezekiel 12:28).
We must settle/The Year’s Victory:
- Worship God with Joyful expectation, knowing He will faithfully bring it to pass (1 Thessalonians 5:24).
- Watch and Pray to see God’s Salvation as he defeats all your enemies and answers your prayer with overcoming victory.
- Stay in Faith by believing God with Thanksgiving and our confession of Faith.
- Mixing God Word with Faith (Hebrews 4:2).
Rejoice my brother and sister. Jesus is with us and no matter what we face this year, God’s Goodness Crowns and Anoints our year and he has promised us abundant life. God Bless You Beloved!

Our Daily Bread
Sunday
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.(2 Corinthians 12:9-10)
Monday
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (Matthew 5:11-12)
Tuesday
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2)
Wednesday
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. (James 1:2-3)
Thursday
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. (2 Corinthians 4:8-10)
Friday
Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.(Nehemiah 8:10)
Saturday
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. (Romans 8:36-37)
Salvation Call
Jesus says, Behold, I stand at the door and knock, If any man hear my voice and open of the door, I will come in to sup with him and he with me (Revelation 3:20).
The Scripture also say, that TODAY is the day for Salvation and God so Loved the World that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever, believes in him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life(2 Corinthians 6:2 & John 3:16).
It is important to know if you are saved and where you will spend eternity. There is a real heaven, praise God, that the righteous, those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior will live for ever and ever.
But the opposite is there is a real hell. A place that is dark, apart from every existence of light and God, a place that was not prepared for man, but for Satan and his Angels, a place where you will spend eternity in without God if you are not saved.
The Bible says, that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. There is a way out. There is a door out. Jesus is the Way, The Truth and the Life. He said, No one come unto the Father except through me (the Son) (2 Peter 3:9 & John 14:6).
You don't have to face this life alone, empty, with nothing or no one to turn to. Jesus died so that you can have forgiveness of sin and fellowship with him. He wants to be your friend. He wants to be apart of your life. The decision is yours. The Bible says, I have set before life and death, CHOOSE LIFE (Deuteronomy 30:19:)
You see, he wants you to choose life. You may asked, What must I do to be saved? The Bible Says a few things.
- Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved and your house
- Confess with Mouth the Lord Jesus and Believe in your Heart that God raised him from the Dead and you shall be saved.
- If you confess me before men, I will confess you before my father which is in heaven.
So, Let's pray right now. Now is as good as a time as any. Repeat this Prayer.
The Sinners Prayer
Lord Jesus, I know that you died for me and rose again, I repent of my sins. Come into my heart and into my life. I accept you now and will live for you. In Jesus Precious and Holy Name. AMEN.
Praise, God, Jesus said, that the Angels in Heaven Rejoice over, one sinner that repents. Now that you have accepted him, he has accepted you into the family of God. So what's next.
What do I do Now?
- Read your Bible Daily - A good place to start is the Gospel of John
- Develop a Prayer Life
- Find a good Bible Believing Church that teaches the entire Word of God - God will lead you, just pray
- Fellowship with other Christian Believers.
