Topic: SETTLED BEFOREHAND
Memory Verse: Isaiah 45:2 – I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
Bible Reading: Exodus 15:22-25
Message: In our Bible reading for today, long before the children I of Israel got to Marah, there was a tree growing by the pool of water. The implication of that is this: before your problem started, God had provided the solution. Whatever may be the nature of your problem, the solution is already waiting. All you need from God is guidance on what the solution is and how to use it. Psalm 90:2 says: “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.”
God has been there before whatever mountain might be blocking you, so He can uproot it easily.
The good thing is that God is not only the Alpha, He is also the Omega (Revelation 1:8), so He knows the future as well as the past. He knows the things that the devil may be planning for you in 2024 and so will provide all you need to overcome him in the new year, even from now, in Jesus’ name.
He has already put in you all that you need to overcome in 2024. Fear not. Before Goliath started terrorising Israel, the stone that would kill him had been formed, waiting for when David would pick it up, put it in his catapult and shoot it at the giant. Before the Philistines came for Samson, the jaw bone of the ass was already there, waiting. Before 2024 arrives, the things you will need to overcome in the new year are already available to you. The tree that would turn bitter water to sweet had been there before the Israelites got to Marah; all that happened when Moses cried unto God is that light shone on a particular tree and God told Moses what should be done with it.
Isaiah 30:21 says that when you find yourself at a crossroads, you would hear a word behind you, showing you the way. I pray that the way you will walk successfully through 2024 will be revealed to you today, in Jesus’ name. God will show you what to do to succeed in the new year, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Hymn: Blessed Assurance
Points: Father, please cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning; for in You do I trust. Please Lord, cause me to know the way I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto You (Psalm 143:8)
Bible in one year: Revelation 15, Revelation 16, Revelation 17
Title: Blessed Assurance, Jesus is Mine!.
Chorus: This is my story; this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day. Long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long..
1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His spirit, washed in His blood.
2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight,
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
3. Perfect submission, perfect all is rest,
I in my saviour am happy and blest
Watching waiting looking above
Filled with his goodness lost in His love.
