For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring. Acts 17:28 (NlV)

I congratulate and welcome you to this new and wonderful year in which we are focusing on Christ like never before and as a result, experiencing great productivity, fruitfulness and increase like never before. You shall continue to experience the tangible glory of God in every area of your life and this shall be an awesome year for you. Your mouth shall be filled with great joy, laughter and testimonies.

Now, the year has changed but your place in God has not changed. Because of your realities in God, this year will be crowned with glory and awe. Like our text above says, you must continually declare to yourself that because your entire life, essence and existence is in God, your year and your entire future is secure.

In our text above, the Message Bible assures us that we are God-created, but actually We are not just created like every other creation of God, we are the New Creation and we are God's own children. We are bona fide members of His family. As He is, so are we in this world.

The reason why a thousand shall fall by your side and ten thousand by your right hand but it will not come near you is because you are in Him. He is our dwelling place.

ln Psalms 105:13-15 (NKJV), the Bible says, “when they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people, He permitted no one to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.”

Beloved, stop wondering what the year holds for you or what will happen to you this year. Start rejoicing because your life is secured in Christ and in God you are moving forward, you are secure, you are untouchable, you are blessed, your path is shining brighter and brighter and your life is evolving from glory to glory.

Prayer Focus: Thank God for bringing you into this wonderful year and bless Him because as you are in Him, your year is secured and blessed.
