NEW YEAR RESOLUTION I

Memorise:
While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.  .. Psalm 146:2

Read:
Psalm 67: 4-5

Message

One of my sons while preaching some time ago said Jacob laboured for 14 years to get the woman he wanted to marry (Genesis 29:18-30) while isaac simply took a stroll and came back with a wife (Genesis 24:63-67). One had favour, the other exerted labour. The moment he said that, I made up my mind that I am going to enjoy God's favour in every area of my life. This decision led me to make what you will probably call 'New Year resolutions'. These resolutions are deliberate steps I will take towards basking in divine favour for the rest of my life. I am going to share these steps with you over the next six days and I want to encourage you to take them very seriously. Please do not treat them like the typical New Year resolutions that are often quickly forgotten in the course of the year.

This year, like never before, I am determined to praise and worship God with all my heart and strength. Whenever you eulogise someone from the bottom of your heart, you can get that fellow to volunteer to help you. I will worship and praise God so much that He will volunteer to help me like He did for Paul and Silas in Acts 16:25-26.

My biological father was so poor that whenever the time came for school fees to be paid, he will pick quarrels with his two wives so that they wouldn't be able to ask for the children's school fees. However, my mother knew how to get my school fees. She would go into my father's room and eulogize him to the extent that he would ask her, "What can I do for you today?" My mother would promptly ask for my school fees and he would immediately promise to see to it that my school fees are paid.

This year, I am going to praise and worship God more than ever before. Like David who also enjoyed divine favour all through his life, I will bless God at all times and His praise shall continually be in my mouth (Psalm 34:1)I will never stop praising. His holy name. I will be intentional in praising Him at all times. I will praise Him with everything within me (Psalm 103:1). I will speak of His greatness at all times and He will cover me specially with His favour all through this year and beyond. I will praise my God forever (Psalm 145:1-2). What about you?

Bible In One Year:
Genesis 5-8

Hymn:
Praise My Soul The King of Heaven

Action point:
Spend quality time praising God today and make this a daily practice going forward.

King James Version

Psalm 67: 4-5

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah. [5] Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
RCCG Hymn

Praise my soul, the king of heaven

  1. Praise my soul, the king of heaven,
    To His feet thy tribute bring;
    Ransom'd, heal'd, restor'd, forgiven.
    Who like thee
    His praise should sing?
    Praise Him! Praise Him!
    Praise the everlasting king.
  2. Praise Him for His grace and favour
    To our fathers in distress;
    Praise Him, still the same for ever
    Slow to chide and swift to bless:
    Praise Him! Praise Him!
    Glorious in His faithfulness.
  3. Angels, help us to adore Him!
    Ye behold Him face to face:
    Sun and moon, bow down before Him:
    Dwellers all in time and space,
    Praise Him! Praise Him!
    Praise with us the God of grace.
