New Year Message - 2025 Welcome to 2025, Our Year of a New Beginning of Greater Glory as We Match Onward in the Lord’s Army Indeed, what shall we say unto the Lord, all we have to say is Thank You Lord. God indeed has been our HELPER, a present help in the times of need. I plead earnestly with everyone reading this message to kindly take quality time out to give the Most High gratitude. 1Thessalonians 5:18, Ephesians 5:20. There are a zillion reasons to be grateful to God. We need to be overflowing with gratitude for God confirming the theme He gave us for 2024. He indeed made 2024, Our Year of Overflowing Gratitude because of Divine Repositioning and Restoration. Please join the entire RCCG Faith Chapel, Orleans and Ontario-3 zone to say – “THANK YOU JESUS”. This year as I waited on Him for the Crossover Service, His message is simple to all Soldiers of the Lord. He says, “Take Care of Yourself.” Many Soldiers are fainting. Many have been battered in the battlefield of 2024. Many are contemplating quitting. The Lord asked me to tell all soldiers world-wide, please take care of yourself. Remember Self Love is not Selfishness. He put the emphasis on two areas to focus on. 1. Take care of your heart: - The heart is the engine room for our spiritual transactions. Hearts that are defiled and clogged with unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred, envy, and jealousy cannot receive from the Lord, who is our Commander-in-Chief (C-I-C). Jeremiah 17:10 tells us that the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. It was the heart that disqualified Eliab, when God wanted to choose a Soldier to replace Saul, 1Samuel 16:7. Romans 8:27a tells us that He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit. God is interested in the condition of your heart. How pure is your heart? Read Matthew 5:8, Psalm 51:10. If you need cleansing of the heart, there is a solution. The Most Potent Spiritual Weapon for cleansing the Heart is the Blood of Jesus, Hebrews 9:14. Ezekiel 36:26. 2. Take Care of Your Mind. The mind is different from the heart. It is the element of a person that enables them to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think, and to feel; the faculty of consciousness and thought. Summarily, your mind is the seat of your thoughts. And you know thoughts are powerful. A large percentage of your Soul is your MIND. Soul is the seat of your will, emotions, and intellects. That’s why Proverbs 23:7 tells us that “as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Do your very best not to allow negative thoughts in 2025. Imagine a brand-new EI Captain, the most powerful computer in the world today powered by a combination of AMD's 4th Gen EPYC CPUs. Imagine the incredible things such a powerful computer can do. What happens if it is filled with viruses. No matter how powerful the machine is, it cannot function effectively until it is cleaned and restored. Similarly, if our minds, cluttered with negative thoughts, worldly influences, and distractions. It cannot align with God’s purpose unless they are cleansed. Remember THE BATTLE OF LIFE IS WON OR LOST IN THE MIND. This popular quote from Walter D. Wintle drives home the point: - If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't, If you like to win, but you think you can’t. It is almost certain you won't. If you think you'll lose, you're lost. For out of the world we find, Success begins with a fellow's will. It's all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed, you are. You've got to think high to rise, You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go. To the stronger or faster man, But soon or late the man who wins. Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!” Elijah lost it when he began to give in to suicidal thoughts. Thank God for the mercy of God, 1Kings 19:4-5. The question you may ask is how do I cleanse my mind? 1. Confession and Repentance: Acknowledge ungodly thoughts and ask God for forgiveness. 1John1:9 2. Live with great faith in your heart. Hebrews 11:6, Matthew 9:21 3. Feed regularly and consistently on God’s Word: Replace negative and sinful thoughts with the truth of Scripture. Ps 119:11, Hebrews 4:12 4. Prayer and Meditation: Spend time in God’s presence, allowing His Spirit to transform your mind. Romans 12:2, Isaiah 40:31 5. Watch the gates to your Mind: - Avoid media, conversations, and environments that corrupt your mind. Once again, you are welcomed to Year 2025. May it be our best year ever. Our theme for January is "A NEW BEGINING", Isaiah 43:19. With Much Love!
