Dear brothers and sisters,
Happy New Year! Wishing you a blessed Year of the Ox!
Job 12:7 “Ask the beasts, and the beasts will teach you. Ask the birds in the sky and the birds will tell you.” This year is the year of the ox, let us learn some lessons from the ox.
The ox has a gentle temperament, hardworking, and bears heavy burdens. With fearless perseverance and courage, step by step, go all out to move forward. The life of an ox is a life of servanthood, service, sacrifice, and dedication. Your willingness to be a servant will demonstrate your maturity in character. Presenting your body as a living sacrifice is holy and pleasing to God. It is only natural for you to serve this way. (Romans 12:1) The time is now, forget what is behind and strain toward what is ahead!
God is blessing you, He is calling you, and His calling to you is to lift you up and to bless you!
This is the time to recover what you have lost, and God will restore what you have lost in the past. To regain lost passion, to regain lost relationships, God desires a new beginning with a complete restoration. Many promises will fulfilled, what is coming ahead is the beginning of a brand new cycle, and all the withdraws are to be brought back.
You are the person God wants to raise up, and God is raising up the passion in you. Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past. Behold, God is doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? God is making a way for you in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. (Isaiah 43:18,19)
2021 is a year of God’s favor, God will release new blessings and new anointing to you. New favor has arrived, God will build you into a new person, God will perform new miracles in your life, and God will lead you into a new blessings. New wine and new oil will be poured upon you, and the spiritual fire of God will keep your passion for Jesus burning in your heart.
God wants you to experience His glorious manifestation, and the river of the Holy Spirit will flow in your life. God will bless you with His peace and joy, God will surround you with His grace and love, and God will bless you with a bountiful year. The abundance of God has come upon your family, and the healing anointing of God will heal you, to make you complete, and to enter the year of jubilee acceptable to God!
Your lamp stand is lit and anointed by the Holy Spirit. Your life is full of energy, strong, committed, and able to pass on life to others. It is full of God’s glory and power, it is never ending in the kingdom of God. You will become a “Passionate Vessel burning for the Lord!”
Amen! May God bless you abundantly!
