2026: MY YEAR OF GREATER TOMORROW

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Proverbs 4:18

Key Verse: “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” (Proverbs 4:18)

Supporting Texts: Jeremiah 29:11; Isaiah 43:18-19; Deuteronomy 8:7; Job 8:7; Romans 8:18

Description: A prophetic declaration that 2026 is a divinely ordained year of progress, increase, and a future that is better, brighter, and greater than the past.

INTRODUCTION:
The concept of a “greater tomorrow” is rooted in God’s nature as a progressive and purposeful God. Scripture reveals that God does not lead His people backward but forward, from glory to glory and from strength to strength. As believers step into a new year, they are not merely changing calendars but entering into a divinely designed season with new opportunities and higher possibilities.

Many people fear the future because of past disappointments, failures, or unfulfilled expectations. However, God assures His people that their future is secure in His hands. According to Jeremiah 29:11, God’s plans are for good and not for evil, to give His people a future filled with hope. This truth establishes confidence and faith for the days ahead.

Declaring 2026 as the Year of Greater Tomorrow is a statement of faith rooted in God’s Word. It affirms that what lies ahead is superior to what is behind, and that God is committed to bringing His people into better outcomes, greater testimonies, and higher dimensions of His purpose.

1. GOD IS THE AUTHOR OF A GREATER TOMORROW
A greater tomorrow is not a human wish but a divine intention orchestrated by God Himself.

After establishing this truth, it is important to understand that the future of the believer is guided and shaped by God’s sovereign plan.

a) GOD’S PLANS ARE GOOD AND INTENTIONAL (Jeremiah 29:11) – God designs the future of His people with goodness, peace, and hope, ensuring that what lies ahead is purposeful and beneficial.

b) GOD LEADS HIS PEOPLE FORWARD, NOT BACKWARD (Isaiah 43:18-19) – God calls His people to forget former things because He is actively doing something new that surpasses the past.

c) GOD ORDAINS PROGRESSIVE GLORY (2 Corinthians 3:18) – The Christian journey is designed to move from one level of glory to another, reflecting continual growth and advancement.

d) GOD ENSURES THE FUTURE SURPASSES THE PAST (Job 8:7) – Even when beginnings are small, God guarantees a future that is greater and more impactful.

Biblical Example: Joseph’s early life was marked by rejection and hardship, but God orchestrated a greater tomorrow where he became a ruler and a preserver of nations (Genesis 41:39-44).

2. A GREATER TOMORROW REQUIRES A FORWARD-LOOKING FAITH
Faith is essential to accessing the greater future God has prepared.

After recognising God’s intention, believers must consciously choose to look ahead with confidence rather than remain trapped in past experiences.

a) FAITH RELEASES YOU FROM PAST LIMITATIONS (Philippians 3:13) – Letting go of past failures and successes positions the believer to embrace new possibilities.

b) FAITH SEES BEYOND PRESENT CHALLENGES (2 Corinthians 4:18) – True faith focuses on unseen promises rather than visible obstacles.

c) FAITH ACTIVATES DIVINE POSSIBILITIES (Hebrews 11:6) – God responds to faith by opening doors that human effort alone cannot open.

d) FAITH SPEAKS A BETTER FUTURE INTO EXISTENCE (Mark 11:23) – Declaring God’s Word with confidence aligns the future with divine promises.

Biblical Example: Abraham believed God for a future he could not yet see, and his faith ushered him into a greater tomorrow as the father of many nations (Romans 4:18-21).

3. OBEDIENCE POSITIONS YOU FOR A GREATER TOMORROW
God’s promises are accessed through obedience and alignment with His will.

After believing God for a better future, believers must walk in obedience to sustain and manifest that future.

a) OBEDIENCE ATTRACTS DIVINE DIRECTION (Psalm 32:8) – God guides those who are willing to follow His instructions faithfully.

b) OBEDIENCE RELEASES COVENANT BLESSINGS (Deuteronomy 28:1–2) – Blessings are activated when God’s voice is obeyed wholeheartedly.

c) OBEDIENCE PROTECTS FROM AVOIDABLE ERRORS (Isaiah 1:19) – Willingness and obedience preserve believers from unnecessary losses.

d) OBEDIENCE SUSTAINS LONG-TERM SUCCESS (Joshua 1:8) – Consistent obedience ensures lasting progress and stability.

Biblical Example: Joshua obeyed God’s instructions diligently, and as a result, Israel entered into rest, victory, and possession of their promised future (Joshua 21:43-45).

4. 2026 WILL PRODUCE VISIBLE AND LASTING RESULTS
A greater tomorrow must translate into tangible outcomes that glorify God.

After faith and obedience, God ensures that the future manifests in visible testimonies and lasting impact.

a) EXPECT MEASURABLE PROGRESS (Proverbs 4:18) – Growth in 2026 shall be evident, steady, and undeniable.

b) EXPECT RESTORATION AND INCREASE (Joel 2:25–26) – God compensates for lost years and introduces abundance.

c) EXPECT DIVINE FAVOUR AND OPEN DOORS (Psalm 5:12) – God surrounds His people with favour that grants access to opportunities.

d) EXPECT A FUTURE THAT GLORIFIES GOD (Romans 8:18) – The glory ahead will outweigh every past pain and struggle.

Biblical Example: Job’s latter days were greater than his beginning, as God restored and multiplied all he lost, proving that God specialises in greater tomorrows (Job 42:12).

CONCLUSION:
The declaration of 2026 as the Year of Greater Tomorrow is a prophetic alignment with God’s eternal purpose. It affirms that the future is not uncertain but divinely ordered, filled with hope, growth, and visible advancement. What God has planned ahead is far better than what has been experienced before.

As you walk into 2026 with faith, obedience, and expectation, you will witness God’s hand producing progress, lifting limitations, and unveiling new dimensions of His grace. Your tomorrow shall indeed be greater, brighter, and filled with divine fulfilment.

PRAYER POINTS:

JANUARY: MY MONTH OF DIRECTION AND CLARITY

JANUARY: MY MONTH OF DIRECTION AND CLARITY

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 32:8

Key Verse:
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.” (Psalm 32:8)

Supporting Texts: Proverbs 3:5-6; Isaiah 30:21; James 1:5; Exodus 13:21-22; John 10:27

Description: January is positioned by God as a foundational month for divine guidance, clear vision, and accurate direction for the rest of the year.

INTRODUCTION
January is not just the first month of the year; it is a strategic spiritual gateway. What you see, hear, decide, and align with in January often sets the pace for the remaining months. Many people struggle through the year not because they lack effort, but because they lack divine direction and spiritual clarity from the beginning.

God never designed His children to walk in confusion, uncertainty, or trial-and-error living. Psalm 32:8 clearly reveals God’s desire to instruct, teach, and guide His people with precision. When God guides, He does not guess; when He leads, He does not mislead. Divine direction removes frustration and replaces struggle with confidence.

This message establishes January as your month to receive clear instructions from God, accurate discernment, and supernatural alignment. As you begin the year under God’s guidance, you will avoid costly mistakes and walk boldly into His ordained path.

1. GOD IS THE SOURCE OF TRUE DIRECTION
God alone sees the end from the beginning and knows the perfect path for your life.
Human wisdom is limited and often influenced by emotions and circumstances, but divine direction flows from God’s perfect knowledge and eternal purpose. When God directs you, He positions you for peace and progress.

a) GOD PROMISES TO GUIDE YOU (Psalm 32:8)
God personally commits Himself to guiding His children, showing that direction is a covenant benefit and not a privilege for a few.

b) HUMAN UNDERSTANDING IS INSUFFICIENT (Proverbs 3:5)
Leaning on personal reasoning without God often leads to confusion, delay, and regret, because human sight is limited.

c) DIVINE DIRECTION PREVENTS WASTED YEARS (Isaiah 46:10)
When God leads, every step is purposeful and contributes to His eternal plan for your life.

d) GOD’S GUIDANCE IS CONTINUOUS (John 16:13)
The Holy Spirit does not guide once and stop; He leads progressively as you walk with Him.

Biblical Example:
The children of Israel were guided by the pillar of cloud by day and fire by night, ensuring they never walked blindly through the wilderness (Exodus 13:21-22).

2. CLARITY COMES THROUGH A LISTENING HEART
Direction is received when the heart is attentive and sensitive to God’s voice.
God is always speaking, but clarity comes to those who are willing to listen, obey, and respond without resistance or distraction.

a) GOD SPEAKS CLEARLY TO HIS CHILDREN (Isaiah 30:21)
God’s voice brings certainty and removes confusion when you are willing to follow His instructions.

b) DISTRACTIONS CLOUD SPIRITUAL HEARING (Mark 4:19)
Worldly pressures and anxieties can drown out divine instructions if not carefully managed.

c) CLARITY FLOWS FROM FELLOWSHIP (John 10:27)
Sheep recognize the voice of the shepherd because of consistent relationship and intimacy.

d) OBEDIENCE SHARPENS DISCERNMENT (James 1:22)
The more you obey what God says, the clearer His next instructions become.

Biblical Example:
Samuel heard God clearly because his heart was positioned to listen, respond, and obey without delay (1 Samuel 3:1-10).

3. JANUARY IS A FOUNDATION MONTH FOR THE YEAR
What you establish spiritually in January often determines the quality of the remaining months.
The beginning of a thing carries power. When January is aligned with God’s direction, the year flows with order, focus, and divine advantage.

a) BEGINNING WITH GOD SECURES THE FUTURE (Psalm 127:1)
When God lays the foundation, the structure of the year becomes stable and productive.

b) EARLY DIRECTION PREVENTS LATE CORRECTION (Ecclesiastes 10:10)
Starting right reduces unnecessary struggle and costly mistakes later in the year.

c) JANUARY IS A SEASON FOR INSTRUCTION (Proverbs 4:7)
Wisdom received early determines the quality of decisions made throughout the year.

d) CLEAR DIRECTION BRINGS CONFIDENT ACTION (Habakkuk 2:2)
When vision is clear, movement becomes bold and purposeful.

Biblical Example:
Jesus began His ministry with prayer and fasting, establishing clarity, authority, and focus before public manifestation (Matthew 4:1-11).

4. DIVINE DIRECTION PRODUCES PEACE AND CONFIDENCE
When God leads, fear is replaced with assurance and stability.
A life guided by God is not free from challenges, but it is free from panic, confusion, and regret because God’s presence guarantees peace.

a) GOD’S DIRECTION BRINGS PEACE (Isaiah 26:3)
Clarity from God settles the heart and removes anxiety about the future.

b) CONFIDENCE COMES FROM KNOWING GOD IS LEADING (Psalm 23:1–3)
When God directs your path, you walk with assurance and rest.

c) DIVINE GUIDANCE BUILDS COURAGE (Joshua 1:9)
Knowing God is with you strengthens boldness to move forward.

d) PEACE CONFIRMS GOD’S WILL (Colossians 3:15)
God’s direction is often confirmed by deep inner peace rather than pressure.

Biblical Example:
David confidently faced Goliath because he was divinely guided and assured of God’s presence (1 Samuel 17:45-47).

CONCLUSION
January is divinely positioned as your month of direction and clarity. When you allow God to lead you at the beginning of the year, you eliminate confusion, reduce struggles, and walk with confidence into His perfect will. Divine guidance is not optional; it is essential for a fruitful and fulfilling year.
As you submit your plans, decisions, and desires to God this January, He will instruct you, teach you, and guide you with His eye. This year, you will not wander aimlessly; you will walk deliberately in God’s ordained path.

JANUARY – MY MONTH OF NEW BEGINNING

JANUARY – MY MONTH OF NEW BEGINNING

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Isaiah 43:19

Key Verse: “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.” (Isaiah 43:19)

Supporting Texts: Genesis 8:13; Lamentations 3:22–23; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Psalm 65:11; Revelation 21:5

Description: January marks a divine gateway into fresh starts, renewed opportunities, and God-ordained new beginnings.

INTRODUCTION:
January is not just the first month of the calendar year; it is a prophetic doorway into a new season ordained by God. The beginning of a year carries spiritual significance because God often initiates fresh moves, new instructions, and divine alignments at beginnings. What you understand, declare, and do at the start of the year largely determines how the rest of the year unfolds.

Scripture reveals that God is a God of new beginnings. From creation to redemption, God repeatedly demonstrates His ability to reset, restore, and renew. January represents a season where God gives believers the grace to start again with clarity, strength, and divine direction, regardless of what the previous year looked like.

This message establishes January as your month of new beginning, where old limitations are broken, new grace is released, and divine possibilities are activated. As you align with God’s purpose, this month will mark the beginning of visible progress, testimonies, and fulfillment.

1. JANUARY IS A DIVINELY ORDAINED SEASON OF RESET
January provides an opportunity for God to reset lives, destinies, and directions according to His perfect will.

a) GOD SPECIALIZES IN NEW STARTS (Isaiah 43:19) God intentionally creates moments where old cycles end and new realities begin, proving that no past failure can stop His plans for your future.

b) EVERY RESET COMES WITH RENEWED MERCY (Lamentations 3:22–23) God releases fresh mercy at new beginnings to wipe away yesterday’s errors and restore hope for tomorrow.

c) RESET BRINGS CLARITY AND DIRECTION (Psalm 32:8) When God resets a life, confusion gives way to divine guidance and purposeful steps.

d) DIVINE RESET DEMANDS ALIGNMENT (Romans 12:2) To experience God’s new beginning, the mind must be renewed to align with heaven’s agenda.

Biblical Example: After the flood, Noah experienced a divine reset as the earth was cleansed and God initiated a new beginning for humanity (Genesis 8:13-17).

2. NEW BEGINNINGS REQUIRE LETTING GO OF THE OLD
You cannot fully embrace God’s new work while clinging to old seasons, wounds, or limitations.

a) RELEASE PAST FAILURES AND REGRETS (Philippians 3:13) God’s new beginning demands that you let go of guilt, shame, and disappointment that can hinder forward movement.

b) DISCONNECT FROM OLD PATTERNS (2 Corinthians 5:17) A new season requires a new mindset, new habits, and new spiritual discipline.

c) BREAK OLD CYCLES AND LIMITATIONS (Isaiah 43:18) Dwelling on the past restricts faith and blocks perception of what God is doing now.

d) FORGIVE AND MOVE FORWARD (Colossians 3:13) Forgiveness clears emotional and spiritual space for God’s fresh work to thrive.

Biblical Example: Lot’s wife failed to enter a new beginning because she looked back, showing that attachment to the old can hinder divine progress (Genesis 19:26).

3. EVERY NEW BEGINNING COMES WITH FRESH GRACE
God never starts something new without releasing the grace needed to sustain it.

a) FRESH GRACE FOR THE SEASON (2 Corinthians 12:9) New beginnings come with divine empowerment to handle new responsibilities and challenges.

b) GRACE ACTIVATES STRENGTH (Isaiah 40:31) God supplies renewed strength to those who trust Him at the start of a new journey.

c) GRACE PRODUCES FRUITFULNESS (1 Corinthians 15:10) Divine grace ensures that efforts yield results beyond human ability.

d) GRACE PRESERVES AND SUSTAINS (Psalm 65:11) God crowns beginnings with goodness and sustains them to completion.

Biblical Example: Peter experienced fresh grace after failure and was restored to become a foundational pillar in the early church (John 21:15-19).

4. JANUARY SETS THE TONE FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR
What you establish spiritually and mentally in January influences the flow of the remaining months.

a) FOUNDATIONS DETERMINE OUTCOMES (Psalm 11:3) A strong spiritual foundation in January secures stability throughout the year.

b) DECLARATIONS SHAPE REALITY (Job 22:28) Speaking God’s Word at the beginning releases authority and direction for the year.

c) PRAYER IN JANUARY INVITES DIVINE ORDER (James 5:16) Early alignment through prayer ensures divine involvement in every step ahead.

d) OBEDIENCE UNLOCKS CONTINUITY OF BLESSINGS (Deuteronomy 28:1-2) Obedience at the start guarantees sustained blessings throughout the year.

Biblical Example: Jesus began His ministry with prayer, fasting, and obedience, setting the foundation for a powerful and impactful life (Matthew 4:1-11).

CONCLUSION:
January is your God-given opportunity to experience a new beginning filled with hope, grace, and divine possibilities. As you allow God to reset your life, release the old, and embrace His fresh work, you position yourself for a year of progress and fulfillment.

Do not approach January casually. Treat it as a prophetic gateway through which God ushers you into a new season of victory, favor, and purpose. This month shall mark the beginning of testimonies that will speak throughout the year.

BREAKING BARRIERS FOR NEW GROUNDS

BREAKING BARRIERS FOR NEW GROUNDS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Micah 2:13

Key Verse: “The breaker is gone up before them; they have broken forth, and have passed the gate, and are gone out: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them.” (Micah 2:13)

Supporting Texts: Isaiah 43:19; Joshua 1:9; Psalm 18:29; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5; Philippians 3:14

Description: Encouragement to start the year by breaking barriers and stepping into new spiritual, personal, and professional grounds.

INTRODUCTION
The beginning of a new year is a season of divine possibilities. Every believer has territories to possess, breakthroughs to experience, and new opportunities to embrace. However, barriers: spiritual, emotional, or situational often hinder progress. God, as the breaker, goes ahead to remove every obstacle in the path of His people.

Micah 2:13 portrays God as the breaker who leads His people through closed gates, ensuring they access new territories and opportunities. This teaches that no limitation is too strong for God’s power to overcome.

This message will guide you to identify barriers, align with God’s breaking power, take strategic action, and move confidently into new grounds prepared by the Lord.

1. RECOGNIZE THE BARRIERS BEFORE YOU
Understanding the obstacles in your path is the first step to overcoming them.

a) IDENTIFY PERSONAL LIMITATIONS – Fear, doubt, and hesitation often hold you back (Proverbs 28:26). Recognition allows you to confront them with faith.

b) RECOGNIZE PAST FAILURES – Past mistakes can restrict progress if not released (Philippians 3:13). Letting go ensures freedom for new opportunities.

c) ASSESS EXTERNAL OBSTACLES – Circumstances, opposition, and environmental factors can create barriers (2 Corinthians 10:4). Awareness allows you to strategize.

d) DETECT SPIRITUAL STRATEGIES OF THE ENEMY – Some obstacles are spiritual and need prayerful intervention (Ephesians 6:12). Discernment empowers victory.

Biblical Example: Daniel faced spiritual resistance through angelic opposition, yet God’s intervention ensured his success in fulfilling God’s purpose (Daniel 10:12-14).

2. ALIGN WITH GOD AS THE BREAKER
God goes before you to remove obstacles and prepare a path for progress.

a) TRUST IN GOD’S POWER – God fights your battles and breaks barriers on your behalf (Micah 2:13). Confidence in His power ensures victory.

c) POSITION YOURSELF IN FAITH – Faith activates God’s breaking power (Hebrews 11:6). Expect divine intervention.

d) RELY ON GOD’S STRENGTH – Human effort alone cannot break strongholds (Psalm 18:29). Divine strength guarantees success.

Biblical Example: David faced Goliath, a giant barrier, but trusted in God’s breaking power and achieved a miraculous victory (1 Samuel 17:45-50).

3. TAKE STRATEGIC ACTION TO POSSESS NEW GROUNDS
Divine breakthroughs require intentional, faith-filled action.

a) ACT DECISIVELY – Bold steps bring barriers down (Joshua 3:5). Obedience and action activate God’s plan.

b) STAY SPIRITUALLY DISCIPLINED – Prayer, fasting, and devotion align you with God’s power (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Discipline sustains victory.

c) RESIST FEAR AND DOUBT – Fear empowers limitations; faith empowers progress (2 Timothy 1:7). Courage enables breakthroughs.

d) DECLARE GOD’S PROMISES – Speaking God’s Word over your situation releases authority and accelerates progress (Joshua 1:8). Confession strengthens results.

Biblical Example: The walls of Jericho fell after Israel followed God’s instructions with faith, demonstrating that strategic action partnered with divine power ensures victory (Joshua 6:1-20).

4. EXPECT LASTING BREAKTHROUGHS
When barriers are broken, you step into territories of favor, blessing, and progress.

a) ANTICIPATE DIVINE OPENINGS – God orchestrates doors that no man can shut (Isaiah 43:19). Expect opportunities.

b) RECEIVE PROMOTION AND INCREASE – Breaking limitations brings elevation and progress (Psalm 75:6-7). Trust God’s timing.

c) WALK IN CONTINUOUS FAITH – Sustained faith ensures ongoing breakthroughs (Galatians 6:9). Perseverance maintains momentum.

THE NEW YEAR, THE NEW YOU: STEPPING INTO GOD’S BEST

THE NEW YEAR, THE NEW YOU: STEPPING INTO GOD’S BEST

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Philippians 3:13-14, Isaiah 43:18-19

Key Verse: “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14)

Supporting Texts: Ecclesiastes 3:1; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 12:2; Proverbs 4:18

Description: A message on embracing the new year as an opportunity to leave the past behind, renew your mindset, and step into God’s best plans.

INTRODUCTION
The start of a new year is a divine invitation to leave the past behind and embrace the newness God has prepared for your life. Many believers carry regrets, failures, and disappointments from previous years, which can hinder progress and limit the manifestation of God’s promises. God, however, calls you to a fresh start, a year of divine advantage, and breakthrough.

Isaiah 43:18-19 reminds us that God is doing a new thing, and it is time to perceive and align with His plans. Stepping into God’s best requires intentionality, faith, and the courage to move forward without looking back.

This message will guide you to let go of past burdens, renew your spiritual focus, and position yourself to receive every blessing and opportunity God has prepared for you in the new year.

1. FORGET WHAT IS BEHIND
Holding on to past failures, regrets, and disappointments limits your capacity to receive new blessings.

a) RELEASE PAST REGRETS – Letting go frees your mind and heart to receive God’s newness (Philippians 3:13). Forgiveness and acceptance are essential.

b) LET GO OF PAST FAILURES – Failures do not define your future (Proverbs 24:16). God’s mercy transforms your setbacks into testimonies.

c) STOP DWELLING ON PAST SUCCESSES – Resting on past glory can prevent growth (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Continuous progress requires forward focus.

d) FREE YOURSELF FROM OLD LIMITATIONS – Spiritual, emotional, and mental barriers from the past must be broken (Isaiah 43:18). Freedom is necessary for breakthrough.

Biblical Example: Peter denied Christ, but by letting go of guilt and focusing on his future calling, he became a powerful apostle (John 21:15-19).

2. EMBRACE WHAT GOD IS DOING NEW
God is always creating opportunities and doing new things that surpass what you have experienced before.

a) PERCEIVE GOD’S NEW WORKS – Open your eyes to opportunities He is bringing (Isaiah 43:19). Awareness is essential for alignment.

b) EXPECT DIVINE INTERVENTION – God can transform situations that seem impossible (Exodus 14:13-14). Faith positions you to receive.

c) RENEW YOUR MIND FOR PROSPERITY – Change your thinking to match God’s plans (Romans 12:2). Your mindset directs your outcomes.

d) PARTNER WITH GOD IN THE NEW SEASON – Engage with God through prayer, worship, and obedience (James 4:8). Partnership ensures participation in His plans.

Biblical Example: The Israelites stepped into the Red Sea, trusting God’s plan for deliverance, resulting in a miraculous crossing and victory (Exodus 14:13-22).

3. PRESS TOWARD GOD’S BEST
The new year is an invitation to actively pursue God’s high calling and divine opportunities.

a) SET SPIRITUAL AND LIFE GOALS – Define what aligning with God’s best looks like (Philippians 3:14). Goals provide direction.

b) MOVE FORWARD WITH COURAGE – Do not let fear or hesitation stop you (Joshua 1:9). Boldness triggers progress.

c) WORK CONSISTENTLY IN FAITH – Faithful action produces results (Galatians 6:9). Consistency activates God’s blessing.

d) REMAIN FOCUSED ON GOD’S PROMISES – Trust that His plans are perfect and will manifest (Proverbs 16:3). Focus sustains momentum.

Biblical Example: Paul continually pressed toward his calling despite persecution, setbacks, and imprisonment, ultimately fulfilling God’s purpose for his life (Acts 20:24).

4. WALK IN RENEWED IDENTITY AND PURPOSE
Stepping into the new year requires understanding that you are a new creation in Christ with divine potential.

a) RECOGNIZE YOUR NEW IDENTITY – You are a new creation; old things have passed away (2 Corinthians 5:17). Identity shapes destiny.

b) LIVE WITH PURPOSE – Each year brings assignments aligned with God’s plan (Ephesians 2:10). Purpose fuels motivation.

Main Text: Micah 2:13

Supporting Texts: Isaiah 43:19; Job 42:2; Philippians 3:13-14; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5; Psalm 18:29

Description: Encouragement to start the new year by breaking barriers, limitations, and every hindrance that has held back progress.

INTRODUCTION
The beginning of a new year is a strategic time for divine breakthroughs. Many believers enter the year with fears, limitations, and past setbacks, allowing the enemy to dictate their progress. God, however, promises that the breaker has gone ahead to demolish every barrier and prepare a path of victory.

Micah 2:13 depicts God as the breaker who leads His people through gates that were previously closed. This teaches us that no obstacle is too great when we align ourselves with His power. Starting the year without recognizing this can result in missed opportunities and stagnation.

This message will guide you to identify limitations, embrace God’s breaking power, and walk into the new year with courage, confidence, and supernatural authority to overcome every hindrance.

1. IDENTIFY THE LIMITATIONS HOLDING YOU BACK
To break limitations, you must first be aware of what is restraining you spiritually, emotionally, or physically.

a) RECOGNIZE PERSONAL LIMITATIONS – Identify areas where fear, doubt, or sin has held you back (Proverbs 28:26). Awareness is the first step to freedom.

b) ACKNOWLEDGE PAST FAILURES – Past mistakes can create mental and spiritual barriers (Philippians 3:13). Letting go is essential for breakthrough.

c) IDENTIFY EXTERNAL OBSTACLES – Circumstances, people, and environment can pose limitations (2 Corinthians 10:4). Awareness allows strategic action.

d) RECOGNIZE SPIRITUAL ATTACKS – Some limitations are spiritual and require divine intervention (Ephesians 6:12). Prayer is essential to overcome them.

Biblical Example: Israel faced walls, enemies, and natural barriers, but God identified and promised their deliverance, leading them into the Promised Land (Joshua 6:1-20).

2. ALIGN WITH GOD’S BREAKING POWER
God has already gone ahead to break every barrier that stands against your destiny.

a) TRUST IN THE BREAKER – God fights your battles and prepares the path (Micah 2:13). Trust guarantees victory.

c) POSITION YOURSELF IN FAITH – Faith opens the way for supernatural intervention (Hebrews 11:6). Expectation activates results.

d) RELY ON GOD’S STRENGTH – Human effort alone cannot break strongholds (Psalm 18:29). Divine power ensures success.

Biblical Example: David faced Goliath, a giant limitation, but aligned with God’s power and broke through to victory (1 Samuel 17:45-50).

3. TAKE STRATEGIC ACTION TOWARD BREAKTHROUGH
Divine breaking requires partnership with God through purposeful steps and obedience.

a) ACT DECISIVELY – Bold action brings barriers down (Joshua 3:5). Obedience accelerates breakthroughs.

b) MAINTAIN SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE – Prayer, fasting, and meditation align you with God’s power (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Discipline sustains victory.

c) RESIST FEAR AND DOUBT – Fear slows progress and strengthens limitations (2 Timothy 1:7). Courage positions for success.

d) DECLARE VICTORY AND BLESSINGS – Confession of God’s Word reinforces spiritual authority (Joshua 1:8). Words release supernatural outcomes.

Biblical Example: The walls of Jericho fell after the Israelites obeyed God’s instructions, demonstrating that breakthrough requires action (Joshua 6:1-20).

4. EXPECT LASTING BREAKTHROUGHS
A breakthrough at the start of the year sets the tone for continual progress and favor.

a) ANTICIPATE DIVINE OPENINGS – God prepares opportunities that align with His will (Isaiah 43:19). Expect favor.

b) RECEIVE PROMOTION AND ADVANCEMENT – Breaking limitations brings elevation (Psalm 75:6-7). Trust in God’s timing.

c) WALK IN CONTINUOUS FAITH – Sustained faith ensures ongoing victory (Galatians 6:9). Perseverance maintains progress.

d) GLORIFY GOD FOR EVERY BREAKTHROUGH – Acknowledging God ensures His continued intervention (Psalm 34:1). Praise sustains momentum.

Biblical Example: Daniel overcame limitations of captivity, persecution, and decree, ultimately being promoted and elevated by God (Daniel 6:10-28).

CONCLUSION
The start of a new year is the perfect time to break limitations and step into divine purpose. God has already gone ahead as the breaker to remove obstacles and prepare paths for your victory. Your awareness, alignment, action, and faith determine the level of breakthrough you experience.

As you embrace God’s breaking power, you shall see barriers fall, doors open, and limitations removed. Step forward boldly and walk into this year with courage, expectation, and the authority to claim every promise God has made for your life.

LEAVING THE OLD BEHIND AND PRESSING FORWARD (NEW YEAR SERMON)

LEAVING THE OLD BEHIND AND PRESSING FORWARD (NEW YEAR SERMON)

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Philippians 3:13-14

Key Verse: “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14)

Supporting Texts: Isaiah 43:18-19; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Lamentations 3:22-23; Joshua 1:9; Proverbs 4:25-27

Description: Encouragement to release past failures, regrets, and setbacks to fully embrace God’s plan for the new year.

INTRODUCTION
The start of a new year is a divine opportunity to leave behind what no longer serves your purpose and to press toward what God has prepared. Many believers carry the weight of past failures, disappointments, and regrets, which limit the manifestation of God’s promises. God, however, calls His children to release the old and embrace the new with faith and courage.

Paul’s instruction to “forget those things which are behind” reminds us that the past should not dictate our future. Holding onto yesterday’s losses or mistakes can hinder God’s best, but letting go opens the door for breakthroughs, favour, and divine alignment.

This message will guide you on how to release what is behind, focus on the promises ahead, and step into the new year with boldness, expectation, and purpose.

1. LETTING GO OF PAST FAILURES
Releasing past failures is the first step toward divine progress and freedom.

a) RECOGNIZE THE BURDEN OF FAILURE – Dwelling on mistakes creates heaviness and hinders faith (Psalm 34:18). Awareness prompts release.

c) STOP REPEATING OLD PATTERNS – Learn lessons, do not relive failures (Proverbs 26:11). Change ensures growth

d) FOCUS ON GOD’S PROMISES – Anticipate what is ahead instead of what is behind (Isaiah 43:18). Expectation fosters progress.

Biblical Example: Peter, despite denying Jesus, was restored and became a mighty apostle because he left the past behind (John 21:15-19).

2. FORGETTING THE THINGS BEHIND
To fully embrace God’s new season, you must intentionally forget what could weigh you down.

a) DISCARD BITTERNESS AND RESENTMENT – Unforgiveness blocks blessings (Ephesians 4:31-32). Release bitterness for freedom.

b) LEAVE BEHIND UNFULFILLED EXPECTATIONS – Disappointment can hinder faith (Psalm 37:23-24). Trust God’s timing.

c) LET GO OF FEAR AND DOUBT – Fear prevents stepping into God’s plans (Isaiah 41:10). Confidence enables action.

d) PRIORITIZE GOD’S PURPOSE OVER PAST HURT – Focus on divine direction (Jeremiah 29:11). Vision ensures fulfilment.

Biblical Example: Paul chose to forget past achievements and losses to gain Christ and the prize of his high calling (Philippians 3:7-14).

3. PRESSING TOWARD WHAT IS AHEAD
Forward motion requires faith, courage, and perseverance in God’s plan.

a) SET CLEAR SPIRITUAL GOALS – Define what God wants you to achieve this season (Habakkuk 2:2). Goals guide focus.

b) STEP OUT IN OBEDIENCE – Faith without action yields no results (James 2:17). Obedience demonstrates trust.

c) TRUST GOD’S TIMING AND DIRECTION – God’s plan unfolds at the right moment (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Patience ensures success.

d) MAINTAIN PERSEVERANCE – Pressing forward despite obstacles demonstrates faith (Galatians 6:9). Endurance secures victory.

Biblical Example: Joshua led Israel into the Promised Land, pressing forward despite opposition and uncertainties (Joshua 3:5-17).

4. EMBRACING DIVINE BREAKTHROUGHS
Letting go of the old positions you for God’s supernatural favor and new beginnings.

a) EXPECT NEW DOORS TO OPEN – God always creates opportunities when you release the past (Isaiah 43:19). Be ready to walk in.

b) RECEIVE GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS WITH FAITH – Divine guidance ensures success (Proverbs 3:5-6). Faith activates direction.

c) STAY ROOTED IN PRAYER AND WORSHIP – Prayer connects you to God’s power (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Worship sustains focus.

CROSSING OVER INTO GOD’S ORDAINED SEASON

CROSSING OVER INTO GOD’S ORDAINED SEASON

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Ecclesiastes 3:1

Key Verse:
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

Supporting Texts: Isaiah 43:18-19; Psalm 31:15; Acts 1:7; Habakkuk 2:3; Genesis 12:1-4

Description: Understanding divine timing and aligning with God’s ordained season for fulfilment, progress, and manifestation.

INTRODUCTION
Every transition into a new year represents more than a change of calendar; it signifies a potential shift in seasons. God operates by divine timings, and no season in a believer’s life happens by accident. Understanding this truth helps us move intentionally and spiritually into what God has ordained.

Many people struggle because they attempt to force outcomes without discerning God’s timing. When a person operates outside God’s ordained season, effort becomes stressful and results become limited. However, when one aligns with divine timing, grace carries what human strength cannot sustain.

As we cross over, it is essential to recognize what season God is bringing us into, what He is ending, and what He is beginning. This message reveals how to discern, prepare for, and walk confidently into God’s ordained season.

1. GOD IS THE AUTHOR OF SEASONS
God alone determines seasons and assigns purposes to each phase of life. Nothing in your life unfolds randomly when God is involved.

a) DIVINE CONTROL OF TIMES (Psalm 31:15)
God holds the times and seasons of your life in His hands, ensuring that nothing arrives too early or too late.

b) SEASONS ARE PURPOSE-DRIVEN (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
Every season comes with divine intent, whether it is for preparation, manifestation, correction, or elevation.

c) GOD DECIDES WHEN CHANGE OCCURS (Acts 1:7)
The authority over times and seasons belongs exclusively to God, not circumstances or human expectations.

d) UNDERSTANDING SEASONS BRINGS PEACE (Habakkuk 2:3)
Knowing that God works by timing removes anxiety and helps believers wait with faith and confidence.

Biblical Example: Joseph remained faithful through seasons of delay, imprisonment, and rejection until God’s appointed time for elevation arrived (Genesis 41:39-44).

2. EVERY SEASON REQUIRES SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT
Crossing into a new season without discernment can lead to confusion, missteps, and wasted opportunities.

a) DISCERNMENT PREVENTS MISALIGNMENT (1 Chronicles 12:32)
Understanding the times helps believers know what actions to take and what decisions to avoid.

b) PRAYER CLARIFIES DIVINE DIRECTION (Jeremiah 33:3)
Prayer opens spiritual understanding and reveals what God is saying about the new season.

c) THE WORD CONFIRMS SEASONS (Psalm 119:105)
God’s Word acts as a lamp, guiding believers through transitions into new seasons.

d) DISCERNMENT PROTECTS FROM PREMATURE MOVES (Proverbs 19:2)
Acting without understanding divine timing often leads to regret and unnecessary struggle.

Biblical Example: The sons of Issachar understood the times and knew what Israel ought to do, positioning them for leadership and relevance (1 Chronicles 12:32).

3. CROSSING OVER DEMANDS LETTING GO OF OLD SEASONS
You cannot fully enter a new season while clinging to what God has already concluded.

a) RELEASE THE FORMER THINGS (Isaiah 43:18)
God requires believers to disengage from past experiences, whether painful or pleasant, to embrace new works.

b) ENDING SEASONS IS AS IMPORTANT AS BEGINNING NEW ONES (Ecclesiastes 3:6)
Knowing when to let go preserves strength and prepares the heart for what lies ahead.

c) OLD MINDSETS CANNOT SUSTAIN NEW SEASONS (Romans 12:2)
Transformation of thinking is necessary to function effectively in God’s new season.

d) LETTING GO MAKES ROOM FOR GOD’S NEW WORK (Isaiah 43:19)
God cannot pour new wine into old wineskins without causing damage.

Biblical Example: Abraham left his father’s house and familiar environment to enter God’s ordained season of covenant and blessing (Genesis 12:1-4).

4. GOD’S ORDAINED SEASON COMES WITH GRACE AND EASE
When you enter a season ordained by God, divine assistance replaces struggle.

a) GRACE ACCOMPANIES DIVINE TIMING (2 Corinthians 12:9)
God supplies strength appropriate for the demands of every new season.

b) GOD’S SEASON PRODUCES FRUITFUL RESULTS (Psalm 1:3)
What is planted in the right season yields consistent and lasting results.

c) DIVINE SEASONS ATTRACT HELPERS (Ecclesiastes 4:9)
God aligns people, resources, and opportunities to support His ordained timing.

d) OBEDIENCE SUSTAINS THE SEASON (Deuteronomy 28:1-2)
Remaining obedient ensures continuity of blessings within the new season.

Biblical Example: Esther entered the palace at God’s appointed time and became the instrument of deliverance for her people (Esther 4:14).

CONCLUSION
Crossing over into God’s ordained season is not accidental but intentional. It requires understanding divine timing, discerning God’s voice, releasing old seasons, and embracing new responsibilities with faith and obedience.

As you align yourself with God’s calendar, you will discover that struggle gives way to grace, confusion gives way to clarity, and delay gives way to divine acceleration. This new season shall unfold according to God’s perfect plan for your life.

10. This season shall announce God’s glory in your life.

MAKING NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

MAKING NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Daniel 1:8

Key Verse: “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat…” (Daniel 1:8)

Supporting Texts: Joshua 24:15; Psalm 119:112; Proverbs 16:3; Luke 9:62; Philippians 3:13-14

Description: A call to make spiritually grounded, God-centered resolutions that lead to growth, discipline, and divine fulfilment in the new year.

INTRODUCTION
The beginning of a new year provides a divine opportunity for reflection, redirection, and intentional decision-making. Many people enter the new year with hopes and wishes, but without clear spiritual resolutions, those hopes often fade as the year progresses. God expects His people to be deliberate and purposeful in their walk with Him.

Biblical resolutions are not mere promises made in excitement; they are firm decisions rooted in conviction, obedience, and faith. Throughout Scripture, men and women who experienced lasting impact were those who “purposed in their hearts” to follow God regardless of opposition or convenience.

This message reveals how godly resolutions, when anchored in Scripture and empowered by grace, can position believers for spiritual growth, divine guidance, and lasting success throughout the new year.

1. BIBLICAL RESOLUTIONS BEGIN WITH A PURPOSED HEART
Godly resolutions start with inner conviction, not external pressure. A resolved heart determines consistent obedience.

a) INNER CONVICTION (Daniel 1:8) – True resolution begins when the heart is firmly convinced to honor God regardless of circumstances. Daniel’s decision was inward before it became visible outwardly.

b) PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY (Psalm 119:112) – Biblical resolutions require personal commitment, not dependence on others’ faith or choices. Each believer must take responsibility for their spiritual growth.

c) CLEAR SPIRITUAL VALUES (Joshua 24:15) – Resolution is strengthened when values are clearly defined. Knowing whom you serve eliminates confusion and compromise.

d) CONSISTENT DEDICATION (Luke 9:62) – Godly resolutions demand steadfastness and refusal to look back once the decision has been made.

Biblical Example: Daniel resolved not to defile himself and remained faithful, resulting in divine favour, wisdom, and promotion (Daniel 1:8-20).

2. GOD-HONOURING RESOLUTIONS REQUIRE COMMITMENT TO GOD
Resolutions succeed when they are surrendered to God and sustained by His grace.

a) COMMITMENT TO GOD’S WILL (Proverbs 16:3) – When plans are committed to the Lord, He establishes and stabilizes them for success.

b) DEPENDENCE ON DIVINE GRACE (2 Corinthians 12:9) – Human strength alone cannot sustain godly resolutions; grace empowers consistency.

c) ALIGNMENT WITH GOD’S WORD (Psalm 119:105) – Resolutions must be guided by Scripture to avoid error and spiritual imbalance.

d) PRAYERFUL DIRECTION (James 1:5) – Seeking God’s wisdom ensures that resolutions align with divine purpose and timing.

Biblical Example: Nehemiah committed his plans to God through prayer and fasting before rebuilding Jerusalem, leading to success despite opposition (Nehemiah 1:4-11; 6:15-16).

3. LETTING GO OF THE PAST STRENGTHENS NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
A new season requires releasing old failures, regrets, and distractions.

a) FORGETTING PAST FAILURES (Philippians 3:13) – Dwelling on past mistakes weakens resolve and drains spiritual energy. Letting go creates room for progress.

b) RELEASING REGRETS (Isaiah 43:18) – God calls His people to stop living in yesterday’s pain and focus on what He is doing now.

c) BREAKING OLD HABITS (Ephesians 4:22-24) – New resolutions require intentional abandonment of destructive patterns and lifestyles.

d) FOCUSING ON THE FUTURE (Hebrews 12:1) – Casting off unnecessary weights enables believers to pursue God’s purpose with endurance.

Biblical Example: Paul left behind his past as a persecutor and pursued God’s calling with unwavering focus (Acts 9:1-20; Philippians 3:13-14).

4. CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY TO FULFILLING NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
Resolutions only produce results when sustained with discipline and perseverance.

a) DAILY DISCIPLINE (1 Corinthians 9:27) – Spiritual growth requires intentional discipline to remain aligned with godly goals.

b) SPIRITUAL ACCOUNTABILITY (Proverbs 27:17) – Fellowship and accountability strengthen resolve and prevent spiritual decline.

c) PERSEVERANCE IN CHALLENGES (Galatians 6:9) – Difficult seasons test resolutions, but perseverance guarantees reward.

d) CONTINUOUS SPIRITUAL GROWTH (2 Peter 3:18) – Growth keeps resolutions alive and relevant throughout the year.

Biblical Example: Jesus remained steadfast in His mission despite temptation, opposition, and suffering, fulfilling God’s redemptive plan (Luke 4:1-13; John 19:30).

CONCLUSION
Making New Year resolutions is not about temporary enthusiasm but about making firm, godly decisions that honor God and shape destiny. When resolutions are rooted in Scripture, sustained by grace, and pursued with discipline, they produce lasting spiritual and physical transformation.

As you step into the new year, purpose in your heart to walk closely with God, remain consistent in obedience, and trust Him to establish every righteous decision you make.

1. Father, help me to make godly resolutions that honour You.
2. Lord, strengthen my heart to remain committed throughout the year.

CARRYING TESTIMONIES INTO THE NEW YEAR

CARRYING TESTIMONIES INTO THE NEW YEAR

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 66:8-12

Key Verse: “Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my soul.” (Psalm 66:16)

Supporting Texts: Revelation 12:11; Psalm 126:1-3; Luke 8:39; Isaiah 43:7; 1 Samuel 7:12

Description: A call to intentionally cross into the new year with tangible proofs of God’s faithfulness and victory.

INTRODUCTION
As the year draws to a close, God does not intend for His people to cross over empty-handed. The will of God is that believers carry testimonies—visible, undeniable evidences of divine intervention—into the new year. Testimonies glorify God and silence the voice of the enemy.

Many people enter a new year merely with hopes and resolutions, but God desires that we enter with thanksgiving and proofs. A testimony is not just a story; it is a spiritual weapon that confirms God’s power, establishes faith, and opens the door for greater miracles.

This message reveals how to position yourself to end the year with testimonies and step into the new year carrying divine evidence of victory, preservation, provision, and transformation.

1. TESTIMONIES ARE GOD’S INTENTION FOR HIS PEOPLE
God never planned that His children live from year to year without evidences of His goodness. Testimonies are proof that God is alive, faithful, and actively involved in the affairs of His people.

a) TESTIMONIES GLORIFY GOD (Isaiah 43:7)
God delivers His people so that His glory may be revealed through their lives, making testimonies a divine agenda and not an accident.

b) TESTIMONIES SILENCE THE ENEMY (Revelation 12:11)
When testimonies are declared, accusations, shame, and satanic narratives are defeated by the evidence of God’s intervention.

c) TESTIMONIES STRENGTHEN FAITH (Psalm 126:1-3)
Remembering what God has done fuels confidence and expectation for greater works ahead.

d) TESTIMONIES CONFIRM GOD’S FAITHFULNESS (Lamentations 3:22-23)
Each testimony is a reminder that God never abandons His people, even in difficult seasons.

Biblical Example: The Israelites consistently testified of God’s deliverance from Egypt as evidence of His power and covenant faithfulness (Exodus 15:1-21).

2. TESTIMONIES MUST BE INTENTIONALLY CARRIED FORWARD
Testimonies can be lost when they are not preserved, acknowledged, and declared. God expects His people to consciously carry their testimonies into new seasons.

a) REMEMBER WHAT GOD HAS DONE (Psalm 103:2)
Forgetting past victories weakens gratitude and reduces spiritual confidence for the future.

b) DECLARE YOUR TESTIMONY BOLDLY (Psalm 66:16)
Speaking of God’s works reinforces faith and invites further manifestations.

c) REFUSE TO DOWNPLAY GOD’S WORKS (Mark 5:19)
Minimizing your testimony diminishes the honour due to God and weakens spiritual impact.

d) TURN TESTIMONIES INTO PRAISE (Psalm 34:1)
Sustained praise preserves testimonies and multiplies divine encounters.

Biblical Example: The healed demoniac was instructed by Jesus to declare what the Lord had done for him, turning his deliverance into a lasting testimony (Luke 8:38-39).

3. TESTIMONIES POSITION YOU FOR GREATER WORKS
God often uses testimonies as foundations upon which He builds greater blessings and higher dimensions of glory.

a) TESTIMONIES ATTRACT MORE MIRACLES (John 5:14)
Gratitude and acknowledgment of God’s works prepare the heart for higher encounters.

b) TESTIMONIES OPEN DOORS FOR INCREASE (1 Samuel 7:12)
Remembering past help invites future help and sustained divine intervention.

c) TESTIMONIES CREATE MOMENTUM (Psalm 77:11-12)
Reflection on God’s mighty acts builds spiritual confidence to face new challenges.

d) TESTIMONIES BRING PUBLIC HONOUR (Esther 6:1-11)
God uses testimonies to announce His favour and elevate His people openly.

Biblical Example: David’s testimony of past victories over the lion and bear positioned him for triumph over Goliath (1 Samuel 17:34-37).

4. CROSSING INTO THE NEW YEAR WITH TESTIMONIES GUARANTEES JOY
A new year entered with testimonies is marked by joy, confidence, and divine assurance rather than fear and uncertainty.

a) TESTIMONIES TURN MOURNING INTO JOY (Psalm 30:11)
What once caused pain becomes a source of praise and celebration.

b) TESTIMONIES REMOVE FEAR OF THE FUTURE (Romans 8:31)
Knowing what God has done eliminates anxiety about what lies ahead.

c) TESTIMONIES PRODUCE LASTING THANKSGIVING (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Gratitude becomes a lifestyle when testimonies are preserved.

d) TESTIMONIES ANNOUNCE A BETTER TOMORROW (Job 8:7)
When God has helped before, it is a guarantee that the future holds greater glory.

Biblical Example: Job’s latter end was greater than his beginning because God turned his trials into testimonies (Job 42:10-12).

CONCLUSION
God’s desire is not only to bless you but to leave undeniable evidence of His goodness in your life. As the year ends, you must deliberately gather, preserve, and declare your testimonies, knowing that they are spiritual currencies for the future.

As you cross into the new year carrying testimonies, may your past victories become foundations for greater breakthroughs, deeper joy, and louder praise to the glory of God.
