THE LORD WILL HONOUR YOU!

Dearly Beloved, THE LORD WILL HONOUR YOU! “From them will come songs of thanksgiving and the sound of rejoicing. I will add to their numbers, and they will not be decreased; I will bring them honor, and they will not be disdained” (Jeremiah 30:19 NIV). “When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’ The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy” (Psalm 126:1-3 NKJV). Every year, my first message for the year to the recipients in my Internet ministry is always based on my prayer for the year. As I have prayed for you earlier this year from Jeremiah 30:19 that songs of thanksgiving will come from you; that the sound of rejoicing will come from your dwelling; that the Lord will add to your numbers, and you will not be decreased; that He will bring you honor, and that you will not be despised, so I am focusing deeply on the context of the verse. The people of Judah were captured and taken to exile in Babylon. Their affliction was so terrible that it seemed it was incurable. They felt so dejected that a formerly cherished nation had become ruined, and its people had become captives in a foreign land. Although, the sins of these Jews brought this calamity on them, yet, the compassionate God was ready to show His mercy on them and bring them back to their inherited land. The Lord was ready to restore their fortunes and make them to sing songs of thanksgiving. The Lord was ready to multiply them and bring them honour instead of disgrace. They would become the people of God, and God would be their God. The Lord even promised to punish the captors of the people of Judah! As you have crossed over the year 2018 into the year 2019, what do you consider as your incurable affliction that has been carried over into the new year? Do you consider yourself still in captivity of the previous year? Do you have little or no hope of making it this new year? The Lord has a word for you this year: He will honour you! The Lord will restore all your fortunes. The Lord will multiply you in all good things of your life. You will no longer be put to shame. It will seem as if you are dreaming when the Lord is doing this. You will sing a song of thanksgiving this year. Do you believe these? They will come to pass in your life. Only, do not indulge yourself in any sin this year. The Lord will honour you! In His service, Bayo Afolaranmi (Pastor). Prayer Point: Pray that you will not by your actions hinder God to honour you and make you sing song of thanksgiving this year.
