When you consider all the pains, trials and turbulent life experiences that have taken hold of our world in this past decade ending with 2009: The economic crunch and meltdown, business magnate and tycoon closures, unpredictable job losses, marital and relationship breakdown, various forms of natural disasters, domestic and regional unrest and terrorist terrorism and the arising of various new sicknesses and disease epidemics, political and climate instability and many others. There is a great need to thank God continuously for you being alive to make amends for a better tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prophetic Declaration<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Isaiah 60:1-3<\/strong><\/span> <\/em><\/strong>\u201c<\/em>Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising\u201d.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 36:9<\/strong> <\/em><\/strong><\/span>\u201c<\/em><\/strong>They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Proverbs 4:18<\/strong> <\/span>\u201cBut the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Isaiah 60:19-20<\/strong> <\/strong><\/span>\u201c<\/em>The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended\u201d.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

2 Peter 1:19<\/strong><\/span> <\/strong>\u201cWe have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the DAY STAR \u00a0arise in your hearts:\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Matt 2:1-2<\/strong><\/span> <\/strong>\u201c<\/em>Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship him\u201d. <\/em> <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you skip through the various channels on TV, radio stations, go through the World Wide Web \u2013 all the news, discussions, debates, comments that you hear are opinions on the way the world and national economy, politics and even the climatic condition or prediction will go as we turn into this decade beginning with year 2010. Some of the analyses are negative, while some with both negative and positive connotations and others with undecided conclusions.<\/span><\/p>\n

People tend to lean towards these debates and declarations of their leaders in government, business, employers and financial statements of fact through the various media and analyst, while others might lean towards the dictates of family circumstances, natural laws and dictates of colleagues or self made intuitions<\/em><\/strong>. But the Holy Scriptures enjoined us to attend to God\u2019s word and incline our ears to His sayings, because they are Life and health – medicine –<\/em>to our destiny \u2013 Proverbs 4:20-22<\/span><\/strong> <\/span>\u201c<\/em>My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Beloved, hear the Word of the Lord. There may be \u2018facts\u2019 to prove how our circumstances will turn out \u2013 the good Lord wants you to ARISE and SHINE<\/strong> for your light is come to shine in the midst of the darkness that has befallen the world. For this is the year 2010<\/strong>, and each day that the Lord has made for you to arise, shine and celebrate \u2013 be glad in it. Enter the year 2010<\/strong> with gladness no matter the darkness you tend to see or the enemy of our faith tend to remind you of, in the events of last decade which is behind you and not before you.<\/span><\/p>\n

The word of the Lord came to me saying – \u201cSay to my people, as the wise men saw the star of Christ to guard and guide them, so shall my people be led to their place of salvation by my Spirit. That as every star above in the sky shines, so shall every one of my people shine in the midst of the confusion in this world. For the light is superior to darkness, so shall they reign supreme for the daystar is come in their hearts to cause them to shine and glory in the Lord \u2013 Therefore, ARISE, SHINE and walk in the path of the daystar \u2013 the Word \u2013 to lighten you up as a star. For I the Lord am the fountain of life and in my light you will find the true light that will guide to your destiny and places of rest\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Beloved, your response by faith to the negatives and facts you see and hear determines how much of God\u2019s word you will walk in and how the Lord can crown the year 2010 for your good as you serve Him in spirit and in truth. Triumph and victory is available to you if you incline your ear to the saying of the Lord for the year 2010.<\/strong> Crowning the New Year with goodness is God\u2019s plan, therefore ARISE and SHINE.<\/span><\/p>\n

Year 2010 \u2013 \u201cA More Than Conquerors\u201d Year!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Romans 8:35-39<\/strong><\/span> <\/em><\/strong>\u201c<\/em><\/strong>Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 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<\/strong>. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.\u201d.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

2 Corinthian 2:14<\/strong><\/strong><\/span>\u201c<\/em><\/strong>Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The scriptures of Romans 8: 35-38 <\/strong>sums up the event of the last decade ending with year 2009. When you section the scriptures by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, you will discover to recover that all aspects of life troubles and happenings and their resultant as we witness in the past decade in terms of – Physical, social, emotional, spiritual, mental, financial, security, natural disasters etc are all summed up in that verse. And this is true to an individual or to a family or a nation.<\/span><\/p>\n

And these life challenges in Romans 8:35-39 <\/strong>are the things that have made many to give up their faith in God and some tendency to either believe the mere fact of life rather than the truth that the scripture offers us in Christ Jesus our Lord and saviour. The scripture in context is not questioning about Christ loving us madly and ravishing His glory upon us but question is directed towards and about us loving Christ. It is a call for us to be able to see life through the mirror of what Christ\u2019s love has made us become so that we can be able to turn tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, wars etc inside out as in the scripture.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you walk into year 2010 with the concept that God has made you through Christ – MORE THAN A CONQUEROR \u2013 <\/strong>you will not let what will come your way as in 2009 determine your destiny and your daily joy. Because God has said you are more than conquerors and you are made to triumph not just in one place or situation but in every single place or situation that comes your way. For success is failure turn inside out. That means you determine the atmosphere you want to enjoy as a thermostat and not a thermometer. God is in the know to perfect and complete all that concerns you \u2013 Philippians 1:6<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Beloved, year 2010 is a year of awesome, amazing and majestic opportunities and surprises for all God\u2019s people. You need to brace up your faith, get set to ride on the great opportunities and majestic surprises the Lord will bring your way. This is the year to see through the mirror of who God has made you become. I pray that you will know how much love Christ has lavished on you that nothing will limit you to ridicule the love of Christ. You are more than conquerors through Him that love you, amen<\/span><\/p>\n

YEAR 2010 – Incline to God\u2019s Sayings<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Prov 4:18-22<\/strong><\/span> \u201c<\/em><\/strong>But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. My son, attend to my words; INCLINE thine ear unto MY SAYINGS.\u00a0 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.\u00a0 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh\u201d<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Isaiah 55:8-9<\/span> \u201c<\/em><\/strong>For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jeremiah 29:11<\/span> <\/span>\u201c<\/em><\/strong>For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Beloved, year 2010 is a year of great possibilities, opportunities and majestic surprises for God\u2019s people in spite of what news you hear, see and feel. The scriptures above indicate one prominent statement of faith \u2013 Our God is faithful consistently consistent towards His thoughts and plans about us. He is a God who will keep to His sayings even in the midst of life\u2019s mess-ups \u2013 if only you will incline your ears and attend to God\u2019s sayings and keep them in the frontlets of your eyes. I compel you to own a diary or notebook to write down every single instruction God will minister to you, for the words if you obey them, they will shape your daily joy and destiny. Give your ears to the voice of the Holy spirit speaking into your spirit being to shape and mould destiny and your life on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

The scriptures in context simply indicate that:<\/span><\/p>\n
