MY WALK WITH GOD IN 2015

MY WALK WITH GOD IN 2015
Luke 2:40-52

Hallelujah! It is a great thing to see you in the year 2015. This year will birth great and miraculous things into your life in Jesus’ name (amen). It is always the best to start the year with God and that is why we are starting the year with the topic MY WALK WITH GOD.

Shortly after the birth of Jesus, his earthly parents (Joseph and Mary) went together with him to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover. On their way back after feasting and merry, they left Jesus behind. Meaning that, they had forgotten about Jesus. To show that they had out-rightly forgotten about Jesus, it took them a whole day before they realized that Jesus was no longer with them. Guess what, this careless act caused them a lot of trouble. They had to go back to Jerusalem to look for Him, having almost completed their journey back home. As if that was not enough, they spent three days looking for him. What a waste of time and energy!

What lesson can we therefore learn from this account? Quite many lessons of course. Having ended year 2014 with feasting and merry, I really hope you have not forgotten Jesus. Hope you have not left him behind in the last year.

Why do you have to have Jesus with you in this New Year? One, to avoid the type of trouble Joseph and Mary found themselves after they carelessly forgot about Jesus, there is a need for you to ensure Jesus is with you in your journey in 2015. Otherwise, the journey would be tantamount to a waste of time and resources, unnecessary stress and perpetual retrogression. Do not forget He is the Alpha and Omega. He knows the ending from the beginning. He knows every bit of events that will unfold in the year.

You remember the first miracle Jesus performed in John 2:1-10, during the wedding in Cana of Galilee? You can imagine how the wedding would have ended in a total mess save for the presence of Jesus there. Therefore, to avoid shame and disappointment in this year, you need to let Jesus be with you consistently even as you go about your daily endeavours.

In Mark 4:36-41, when storm arose against the disciples in their boat, they were sore afraid and thought an end had come for them. But thank God for the presence of Jesus, the Prince of Peace Himself stilled the storm. Definitely there will be storms in the year 2015. But guess what? Be rest assured that when Jesus is with you, He will calm every storm for you.
As you make your work and walk with Jesus consistent this year, I pray that your new year start with Sweet Sundays, Marvellous Mondays, Tasty Tuesdays, Wonderful Wednesdays, Thankful Thursdays, Friendly Fridays and Successful Saturdays. May all your dreams turn into reality and all your efforts into great achievements in Jesus’ name.
