Where is He Who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east at its rising and have come to worship Him (Matthew 2v2).
Où est le roi des Juifs qui vient de naître? car nous avons vu son étoile en Orient, et nous sommes venus pour l'adorer (Matthieu 2v2).
Our Most precious family of God, we are wishing you a Happy entry into the year of great spiritual significance.
Having been blessed to experience the exchange of two Millennia a decade ago--the close of the one and the birth of the other--we now enter one of nature's historic moments. A moment that is not often recorded in history.
This moment provides us every reason for a fresh start in all area of life. For it's three times a New beginning.
This moment of the year 2011 is a beginning of a New Year, the beginning of a New decade and the beginning of the second decade of the new millenium. Not everyone gets to see such moment in the history of God's creative calendar. We are truly a privileged generation. Praise God!
We thank God for all of you who have and are relentlessly working hard during this Christmas season, in order to minister effectively to the body of Christ and all those He died for. In many ways you have shown yourselves worthy before the Lord.
Some avail themselves in praise and worship, organizing shows and worship projects with little rest; some are praying and interceding for the others. Some are in the streets ministering the love of Christ in its various ways. Some are just giving out leaflets outside the cold winter, informing and directing others to their various events. Some are ushering people to their comfort. Some keep standing for hours at the entrance guarding the buildings for security reasons. Some are on their desks preparing for sermons and teachings and for hours seeking the face of God for the good of His people .
All of these activities are but for one reason: To make the presence of Jesus felt on the face of the earth. And you all are making a collective impact. No! don't say you aren't doing something note-worthy, because your presence alone on that seat in the show or church pew means a lot. For I couldn't even imagine what the church would look like with empty seats. We appreciate your presence dearly. In whatever way you might have and are contributing, whether big or small, it has a great significance in the eyes of the Lord. Thank you, thank you for lovingly serving Him.
Again, let's say WELCOME! Welcome into a new refreshing spiritual climate that would bring understanding and clarity in our already advancing relationship with the Lord.
Many are still praying and fasting. They seem to sense the times, to flow with the plans of God. Yes, they are right for there would be clarity of visions and dreams in the year 2011. And an increase in sharing and love. An increase in prosperity. An increase in the sense of fulfillment.
Dead dreams and those that have lingered for long would be refreshed and given life again from the very first day of the New Year 2011. Spiritual vitality and meaningfulness will be imparted in the lives of those that seek God. And many possibilities would be made available to many Christians in the body of Christ.
God would strengthen many of His followers and lovers from within, teaming with many to accomplish eternal goals. There are some who are still praying about open doors, even now, the Lord has opened many doors for you to walk into, take advantage of them as soon as they become clear to you. The peace of God would guard you before the door opened to you. Don't wait, don't wait, take advantage of it, step into it, it is just a door not the destiny but a door which would lead you to your divine destiny. Don't delay much; don't ask too many questions; just begin to walk toward the door that is opening itself before you. It may not be opened for a long period so take advantage of it!
Some of the lovers of God who are artists will have a deal with major labels. That is the work of the Lord to set you before His bigger audience. Don't wait, don't question for too long before that door. Follow your hearts and take it.
Some of the Christian singers would discover mellifluous voices, redesigned by the anointing of God. A voice that would be irresistible to the hearts of men, paving way for the crowning of JESUS in the lives of the listeners.
Let me add to this, child of God, to consider and put the larger audiences of God first. Consider to bless God's people in a big way. Consider to reach out on a massive scale more important than our personal and selfish reasons. Reasons which in some cases have not only tied us down nor reduced the level of our exposure, but also have caused many to, some how, lose that opportunity to be ministered to by the Lord had they listened to that mellifluous voice. Take advantage and set yourself in the hands of God for the cause of men.
To all of our friends and family in the caribbean and the US; the latinos (our dearly loved family), and those in Europe and Africa, may the Lord bless you abundantly that all what you set out to do in the year 2011 be successful. May He help you realize the needed ability to rise up to any new challenge that is yet unseen and unknown to you in the Year 2011. And may the year 2011 be notably remembered for the joy and prosperity that it brings around your families and loved ones.
Those of you, beloved, who are fasting at the moment with us, you may pray for an increase in God's healing power and care in the lives of His people generally. The sick need healing, we need to love them more with the ability God provides. And our God is a prayer answering God who is not limited to geography. He can do it and He will do it. Yes, I know He will.
Thank you for your prayers and countless supports. We shall continue, for the sake of the Lord, to love and serve you even better this New Year 2011.
MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011.
