2Chro.27v6: So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.

Dearly Beloved, this year can be a different one for you than last year. You can have a wonderful and fulfilling Year, but you just need to pay attention to some essential key principles. These principles will make a lot of difference in your outcomes this year if you imbibe them into your life. This has been the basis of our discussion so far in this series and today, we will be examining another important one. So if you are ready, here we go!

CONDITIONS FOR HAVING AN AMAZING YEAR:

5. Develop your capacity to hear God. Yes, hearing God is so crucial to your success this new year. In fact, your sensitivity is key to your having an amazing year (Rom.8v14). My dear reader, your joy, prosperity and everything is even connected to this principle (Pro.20v24).

So how well do you hear God? Regularly, once in a while or not at all! You need to raise your game in this area! In fact, you ought to be able to:

– Discern God’s voice clearer this Year.

– Discern God’s voice better this Year.

– Discern God’s voice at any given time of the Year.

This is why you need to grow in your capacity to hear God. Your ability to hear God is one of your greatest assets that you need to treasure dearly. The stronger this ability in your life, the Better you become! This is one of King David’s strengths as you can see from the following scriptures (1Sam.23v2, 4: 30v8; 2Sam.2v1).

So my dear brothers and sisters, you need to be able to know what God is saying to you this Year and this consist of:

– Knowing what to do

– Knowing where to go

– And knowing whom to become.

May Jehovah shine his light on your ways this year. However, you need to make the following resolutions this year that:

– You won’t follow the crowd but follow his Leading (Ps.37v23).

– You won’t do things without his Approval (Jer.42v6).

– You won’t trust in the arm of the flesh (Jer.17v5).

Let your confidence be in his leading and instructions to you. In this way, you will be securing the New Year by his Wisdom.

And before I round up this conversation today, I want you to know that one thing that can greatly enhance your ability to hear God better is to Grow up in your walk with him. As you do this, hearing God would become a part of you. May this be your testimony in Jesus name, amen (Eph.4v14-16).

Prayer for Today: Holy Spirit, help me to hear God better and clearer this Year in Jesus name, amen.

CONFESSION: By the grace and mercy of God, I will hear God better this year. As I grow up in my walk with God, I will greatly enhance my capacity to hear God. This year, I will not walk in the dark nor will I be led astray. Jehovah will be my guide and leader. He will lead me to my pot of blessing and place of destiny. This shall be my testimony this year in Jesus name, amen.
