2025: A year of superabundant grace!

What does the Lord say for the year 2025? 

2025 - A year of superabundant grace! 

The Lord says: "This is a year of superabundant grace for you. Look to Me and count on Me. My grace is very rich for you to walk into the new that I've prepared for you. My grace is very rich for you to see a change to the better in your life. My grace is very rich for you in the endeavors that I've called you to do. My grace is very rich for you to see your victory and breakthrough. Make this declaration by faith. Call it and declare it into being this year. Whatever the power of darkness or the enemy tries to do against you, it will backfire against them. For I will know how to overturn it for you. I am your shield, your refuge, your vindication, and your defence. So, fear not. Head into this new year with confidence and trust in My ability and My supply for you." 

To begin with, what is 'superabundant'? 

According to the Oxford Dictionary, it simply means 'much more than enough of something'. 

The word 'grace' is 'charis' in Greek, which can mean 'being acceptable', or in our context today, 'having God's favor'. This word 'charis' can also mean 'gift, benefit or favor bestowed upon you joyfully and with all liberality'. 

In the context of what God is saying to you today, it is 'His supernatural ability and supply for you'. This can apply in any area of your life. Your part is to continue to walk with Him, commune with Him, look to Him, and trust in Him. 

Let's look at the Scripture now. We always want to back up what we hear from God with the Scripture. 2 Corinthians 9:8 (NKJV) says, 'And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.' 

See the word 'all grace' there? See the word 'abound' there? This verse also says, 'always having all sufficiency in all things'. 

I know this verse has been taught regarding your giving to God. But it's more than that. Notice here, 'all sufficiency in all things'. So, it is more than about God's supply of provision or finance. It is about every area of your life that you look to the Lord and trust the Lord for. 

Psalm 46:4-5 (NKJV) says, 'There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle (i.e. the dwelling place) of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.' 

At the beginning of this year 2025, you can meditate on these verses. Let the river that brings superabundant grace of God flow into your life, as you dedicate yourself to the Lord for this new year. Even though this is talking about the city of God, this can apply to you too. Why? Because you and I are the temple of the Holy Spirit, the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, where God dwells. 

Don't get me wrong here. Not that for other years, there's no superabundant grace in your life. But what God is saying is this year is especially so for you. So, tap into this 'kairos' time of yours (i.e. this opportune time of yours). The window is now open for you. 

Tap into this 'kairos' time of yours to see your victory and breakthrough in your life. Tap into this 'kairos' time of yours to make a leap into better things in your life. Tap into this 'kairos' time to see a change to the better in your life, in any area of your life that you present before the Lord. 

Yes, even your health. If you need divine healing, this is your time to tap into His 'kairos' time for you. Receive His supply of divine healing. He is more than able to heal you. He is more than able to set you free from your yoke or bondage, whatever it may be. 

That's what it means here by His 'kairos' time for you is NOW! 

As for me and my family, we want to believe and receive all that the Lord has spoken today. So, you can too, beloved. Believe and receive it, and you will have it. Amen! 

Wishing you a Happy and Blessed New Year 2025!

A new chapter!

I released these words from the Lord on June 4, 2017 (Pentecost Sunday):
"Many of My people are entering into a new chapter in their lives. There'll be empowering, enabling, and anointing from on high. Receive by faith! This is a time to declare and proclaim that your new chapter is greater than your old chapter!"

The word 'chapter' here can mean 'a (numbered) division of a book', or 'a period of time'. Therefore, the words from the Lord here denote 'a leaving behind of an old chapter' and 'a moving on into a new chapter'.

Like someone reading a book, the Lord is at the moment opening a new chapter for you. So, look not behind you, but look ahead of you. Forgive yourself. Forgive those who have hurt you. Let bygones be bygones. Begin to bless, and not curse. And that's when you'll begin to see a new dawn beckoning for you. Psalm 46:4-5 says, 'There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn'. This is God's promise for those who are willing to walk into a new chapter.

By the way, 'at the break of dawn' is when 'the earliest light of the day' begins to unfold. It speaks of 'a brand new start'. And I declare that it's going to be a greater one for you. Because the Lord has said so!

People of God, that's exactly what happened on the Day of Pentecost some 2,000 years ago, when the Holy Spirit came upon those who waited for Him. Acts 2:1-4 says, 'When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance'.

Just before Jesus ascended to heaven, He had commanded the apostles not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, which He said, "...for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." (Acts 1:4-5) Then He went on to say, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." (Acts 1:8)

And on the Day of Pentecost (the fiftieth day after the resurrection of Jesus), the Promise of the Father (i.e. the Holy Spirit) came! And that was to be a new chapter in God's book - the birth of His church!

Some days earlier before the Day of Pentecost, the Lord had indicated to the apostles that without the Holy Spirit (and the empowering of the Holy Spirit), the church cannot start! But that day of empowering had finally arrived! And as a result, the church era unfolded!

Peter stood up to preach the very first sermon in the church era (Acts 2:14-40), and on that day, many were baptized, and about three thousand souls were added to them (Acts 2:41). The Lord then added to the church daily those who were being saved (Acts 2:47).

People of God, as you look ahead in this brand new chapter, receive also the empowering, enabling, and anointing from on high. Declare and proclaim in Jesus' name that the best is yet to come for you! Declare and proclaim in Jesus' name that your new chapter is greater than your old chapter! Believe for it, and begin to walk in it. Amen!
