Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 Peter 1:3-5 (NKJV)
To God be all glory again as we are privileged and endowed with His grace and mercy to witness the beginning of another year, 2008. Like, Apostle Peter in the above scripture, we bless the Lord whose mercies have bequeath to us a living hope through our risen King and an inheritance that is incorruptible, and tamper-free from the elements and value system of this world. We have great hope in 2008 that the Lord will perfect that which concerns us and as such it is important that we do not cast away our confidence which has great reward.
Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1 Peter 1:13 (NKJV)
The promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. So as we come boldly to the throne of grace and mercy, I pray that every walk, talk and action of ours in the new year will edify the body and bring glory to God's name in all nations. Let the pursuit of God's Kingdom and all righteousness drive our path through this year. For this new beginning, this is great wisdom to work with.
Be encouraged,
Afolabi
