LET IT BE A YEAR OF LIVING LIFE FOR GOD

The grace and mercy of God have brought you to be alive into a New Year, not because you know how to live life.
Make the right choice, and upgrade your life to live for God.
Live life doing what the word of God asks all to do.
At a wedding in Cana of Galilee where wine for celebration was out, Mary, the mother of Jesus, encouraged the servants with the solution for lack to obey “Whatever He says to you, do it.” (John 2:5) 
The servants obeyed, and water turned to wine, for the wedding celebration continued with the miracle of obedience, not mockery.
From today, make the right choice to live life by the word of God and not become a victim of the evil of a wicked world.
In your New Year, live life by the word of God. 
Whatever the word of God says to you, do it.
What kind of a believer are you?
Living life is giving self to the word of God, living life for God.
One that does not live life for God denies knowing God.
Why not have the desire to live life for God?
Determination is not enough to live life for God.
The desire with prayer will make one live life for God.
Peter was determined not to deny Christ.
However, Peter denied Jesus three times, but the prayer of Jesus worked out for Peter not to become a victim of not living for God, denial of knowing Christ. (Luke 22:32-61)
Living life for God demands giving self to the word of God continually and praying to walk worthy to the glory of God.
LIVE LIFE FOR GOD IS SEEKING GOD DILIGENTLY
Living life for God is seeking God diligently. 
With desire, live life for God to find Him.
Deuteronomy 4:29 states, “But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” 
“Jeremiah 29:13 records, “And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”  
If seeking God to find God is not possible, God would not have asked for seeking Him.
Live life for God, seek Him, and find Him. 
David is an example of such. 
1 Kings 14:8 records, “…My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes.” (1 King 14:8) 
Living life for God and seeking Him is possible. 
Ask God to enable you to seek Him diligently.
LIVE LIFE FOR GOD AS MANIFESTATION SON OF GOD
What kind of a believer are you?
God creates all for His glory. (Revelation 4:11)
Ask to be enabled to live life for the glory of God.
Living life for God is not a thing of mouth or religion but dwelling and abiding by the word of God.
To abide in God is the character of one that lives for God, which Jesus demands from all. 
John 8:31 records, “…If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.” 
Claiming to be a believer and not abide in Him is a joke, which is ceremonial religion. 
Today, live life before God, answer as manifestation son of God. 
The disciples of Jesus were testimony of manifestation sons of God by their way of life before God.
Manifestation sons of God are to be in place, living life before God with a mark of not being a pushover by the wickedness of this world.
What kind of a believer are you?
Nothing will bring you down living life for God if you do not look away from God.
One keeping by the word of God will live a life of testimony as a son of manifestation.
Romans 8:19 speaks to acclaimed believers, “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.”
However, the acclaimed sons of God could not be recognized as revealed sons of God because the world is yet to experience the evidence of sons of God.
One that does not live for God by not standing in His word cannot become victorious, manifesting as the son of God.
Search yourself continually to know if you are near to God by your way of living life.
God is always near, but with sin, living against the word of God is to become far from God.
Determination is not enough to live for God, but with desire, God will deposit for one to live life for His glory.
Proverbs 6:22 identifies what it becomes of one with a desire to live for God: “When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.”
If it is impossible to live life as a son of manifestation, the word will not point out the revelation of the sons of God
Live for God as a son of God.
Give yourself to the word of God, continually be upgraded, not become down and not stand out for the glory of God. 

KEEP ON KEEPING EYES ON GOD

It is not how long your Miracle is yet to manifest, but it is how far God has brought you that counts.
Just as worship is in opposition to worrying, so is a miracle to magic. 
The Miracle belongs to God, while magic belongs to the deceiver. 
Magic is a device of the enemy. 
Magic glitters, and it will only last for a moment. 
Seeking magic for the manifestation of expectation is seeking a substitute for God. 
It is wrong! It is wrong when likening God to another god. 
Isaiah 40:18 warns, “To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to Him?”  
God for today, just like in the past, seeking manifestation concerning expectation in the place of magic will provoke the judgment of God.
Gain understanding in the word of God to know that truly a miracle is not magic.
One expecting manifestation should give self with the expectation to the Miracle of God instead of magic. 
The Miracle is simply a wonder, and God alone is the wonder-working God. 
Miracles are of God, miracles last forever, and it runs deep. 
Psalm 138:2 testifies to the word of God, “For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.”
The word of God drives His Miracle.
Counting and courting on God is evidence of getting close to God to experience His Miracle.
One counting and courting on God is evidence of commitment to God.
The commitment to God is the character of waiting on God.
The word of God encourages all to wait on God that wait to act for waiting on Him.
Do not substitute the Miracle of God for magic. 
Anyone that does not liken God to any other god will count on God to gain and retain His presence.
Counting on God will keep one from courting other means that will always lead to self-disappointment, discouragement, or self-destruction. 
God is God that is incomparable to any other god.
Isaiah 46:5 said, “To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal and compare Me, that we should be alike?”
Counting and courting God is the only avenue not to be a victim of magic devices in this wicked world.
Disallow the magic and devices of the devil.
Magic will fail!
Ask God to keep you from the magical snares of this wicked world.
Days, weeks, and months have passed by, but the privilege of God is keeping you.
Have you been seeing God in His word?
Seeing God is encased in seeing Him in His word.
The word admonishes all in John 1:1, ” In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
One that is open for the entrance of the word of God will see God in His word.
Psalm 119:130 states, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
Revelation 3:20 informs, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me.”
Seek God to see Him in His word.
One that sees God is set to believe and do according to His word.
The word of God is to gain direction for deliverance and preservation, not to be a victim of the wicked world.
In the Old Testament, Psalm 107:120 states, “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
In the New Testament, Jesus confirms that He has come, not that He is yet to come. He came, and He is here to give all life abundantly.
John 10:10 mentions, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Have the desire to see God in His word.
Seeing in the word shall gain direction in God, to walk in Him, not fall or fail.
From this moment, strive, and make it a desire to see God in His word.
To see God is studying in His word that is true.
One that studies His word as the true shall believe in Him and not walk away from Him as an unbeliever.
John 8:45 points out the lack of unbelief in truth, “But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.”
Believe in the truth of God to see God and see all that is before you in the coming days.
One that sees God will hear to do according to His word.
From this day, have the mind to see and hear in the word.
John 8:47 points out, “He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.” 
With desire, prayerfully ask to be enabled with open eyes to live as one for God. 
The eyes that are open in the heart are where the word of God enters to set one to do according to the word of God.

STEPPING INTO A NEW MONTH

Taking uncountable steps this far is the grace and mercy of God.
Day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year is a great grace of God.
Grace alone means that God loves, forgives, and saves all, not because of who you are or what you do but because of the work of Christ.
No one knows to control the grace and mercy of God for all.
The grace and mercy that is certain to deliver, to preserve anyone belong to God.
Grace is the gift of God that produces, enhances, and develops salvation. The grace of God changes the life of one. 
The well-known song says it is Amazing Grace.
Indeed, it is grace to live.
Grace is an enabling power of God. 
It enables the recipient to do and be what one cannot become by their means.
The saving grace has brought you this far.
Ephesians 2:8-9 buttresses, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” 
To see this time of the year is not evidence of knowing God but the privilege of God.
David testifies the distance between life and death is a step. (1 Samuel 20:3)
You have taken uncountable steps not because you know the right step to take.
Taking uncountable steps this far is the grace and mercy of God.
Power belongs to God and is good and merciful.
Month after month, He has brought you this far.
In all your steps, you shall not fall.
Pray that the grace of God that has brought you this far shall not expire over your life.
This far, it is the grace of God.
The grace of God is much to experience.
Ephesians 2:8-9 states, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” 
The grace of God has brought you this far.
The grace of God is sufficient.
Grace is the power that God willingly gives to help to do what no one could ever do by themselves. When God said to Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you…” (2 Corinthians 12:19)
He gives Paul His power to be free from the thorn that was buffeting him.
The combination of mercy and the grace of God keeps all seeing a new day, week, month, and year.
The mercy of God has been consistent to see you this far, not to become a victim of the wicked world.
The mercy of God means God is compassionate and kind.
The mercy of God is with forbearance that does not run out.
The mercy of God is His loyal love; it is the conventional love of the covenant-keeping God. 
The mercy of God is not by merit but by the goodness of God to be received.
Just as power belongs unto God, mercy also belongs to God. 
God cannot be intimidated or manipulated by any of His creations to receive His mercy.
The mercy of God is not attainable through the work but by walking with God. 
God testifies to His mercy in Romans 9:14-16, “…I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion. So, then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.”
The mercy of God is in place for all, and nothing under heaven can displace or deny one that God will visit.
With mercy, God led the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years. The Bible records, “You in Your mercy have led forth the people whom You have redeemed…” (Exodus 15:13) 
In the given days that you have by the breath of life, understand and know to live life to attain the mercy of God as the Bible records His word.
God alone will have mercy on whom He chooses to, but He will also have for one that lives by His command.
With the grace of God, the mercy of God is attainable when the life of one aligns with the word of God.
One that lives life according to the word always receives the mercy of God. For example, Joseph lived life according to the word of God when he ignored the temptation to violate the word of God and not to fail before God (Genesis 39:7-15).
With repentance, one that asks before God for forgiveness will receive the mercy of God. The Bible records, “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God is good and merciful; no iota of evil can deny the mercy of God that is in place for one with the understanding that calls on God. 
Asking for forgiveness is a very sure way of obtaining the mercy of God, as it is glaring in the pages of the Bible. 
The Bible encourages, “He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsake them will have mercy” (Proverbs 28:13). 
With grace, God is merciful to respond with mercy for one that trusts God with hope.

TURN TO THE WORD!

This day, week, month, from this moment, turn to the word of God.
Turn more to the word of God!
To have lived this far is not because one knows how to live life but because the grace of God has brought you this far.
To be alive demands turning to God, giving Him all the glory and honor for keeping you this far.
Turn to God, and not be weary of the challenges you experience.
Are your challenges persist and resist taking long to cease?
Understand and know that not how long challenges exist, but it is how far God has brought you.
Always turn to the word of God.
God sent His word to heal, deliver, and preserve.
Psalm 107:20 testifies to God, “He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.” 
Know to cue yourself in the word of God.
The word of God is not a fable is not a story to a suit for personal gain or material.
Turn to the word of God for real!
Psalm 8:4-6 records how caring to turn to God: “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet.”
God is a caring God to create all for Him.
God creates all to exist for His glory and honor.
What or who are you turning to in this wicked world?
The word of God is God. 
One that gives self to the word of God turns to God.
All should turn to God.
There is no reason not to turn to God.
Among reasons to turn to the word of God are:
THE WORD OF GOD DELIVERS
Genesis 19:17 records the word of deliverance for Lot and his wife, “…Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.”
Lot turned to the word of God, but his wife did not turn to the word of God. 
Genesis 19:26 records, “But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.”  
One that turns to the word of God looks to God for deliverance.
The wife of Lot turned away from God to become terminated.
RESPONSIBILITY TURN TO GOD
The limitation of the relationship with God is the evidence of the limited time spent with God. 
One that studies the word of God is evidence of not turning from God. 
Romans 15:4 informs all, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” 
Why not give yourself to studying the word of God, to know and not turn away from Him? 
Turn from the world to the word of God to know the truth.
John 8:32 admonishes all, “…YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH.” 
It is the responsibility of all to know God, the truth.
LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD
Listen to the word of God, and turn to His word. 
Turning to the word of God shall lead to deliverance from shame to joyful celebration. 
At the wedding at Cana of Galilee, when the celebration ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus advised the servants of Jesus “…whatever He says to you, do it.” (John 2:5) 
In every way of life, turn to the word of God by listening to Him, and testimony shall not experience shame. 
Turn to God!
ASK TO BE TURNED TO GOD.
Running after a man in the place of not turning to God is not evidence of knowing God. 
Get to KNOW GOD by TURNING to Jesus!
Paul points out that Jesus is for all to turn away from iniquities to Him. 
Acts 3:26 records, “To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.” 
Today, pray the prayer of the Psalmist for yourself as:
Psalm 119:37 records, “Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way.” 
Turn to the word of God, and give yourself to Him in His word to live life by His word.
Again, remember always that it is not how long challenges exist, but it is about how far God has brought you.
Remember, despite your inconsistency in not living life by the command of God, God remains constant and consistent, responding with His care when turned to Him.
Turn to the word of God!
Ask God that His word shall become established in your life. 

WHAT GOD WANTS FROM ALL

God wants all to be responsible with a commitment to His word.
With no excuse, all should be responsible with a commitment to His word.
God magnifies His word above His name. (Psalm 138:2)
God sent His word to heal and deliver. (Psalm 107:20)
God has given His word that does not return void. Isaiah 55:11 records, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
All should be responsible for gaining from the word of God.
What thing is holding you back from giving yourself to live life by what God wants?
All should be responsible with a commitment to live life by the word of God.
Responsibility is the price for greatness when committed to the word of God in the heart, not just in the mouth.
Living a life of responsibility with a commitment to God will consign self to seek God with all heart, soul, and strength.  
Deuteronomy 4:29 records the consequence of being responsible for seeking God, “…you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.” 
By faith, and commitment to the word God, do not be discouraged by the surrounding world to find God. 
By faith is to be living (believe) the word of God by the mouth. 
What does God want from all? 
Deuteronomy 10:12 identifies, “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” 
One that fears God walks in His way, loves, and serves God diligently.
Do you fear God? 
AMONG WHAT GOD WANTS FROM ALL IS TO SEEK HIM DILIGENTLY ARE:
PATIENTS TO WAIT ON GOD
GIVE THANKS TO GOD ALWAYS
PRAISING GOD
PATIENTS TO WAIT ON GOD
LISTENING TO THE WORD OF GOD
LIVE TO BE TURNING TO GOD
PATIENTS TO WAIT ON GOD
Wait on God with no complaint to avoid becoming a failure to receive from God. 
God acts for those who wait on Him. Isaiah 64:4 points out, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.”
One not waiting on God will complain instead of complementing God evidence of the lack of commitment to God and will not arrive at the center of the calling of God.
GIVE THANKS TO GOD ALWAYS
Giving thanks to God is not thinking thanks. 
What thing is holding you back from giving thanks to God continually?
Ephesians 5:20 encourages, “Giving thanks always for all things to God…”
Is the delay of your expectation for manifestation shutting your heart of
thanksgiving to God? 
Are you engaging in worrying?
Know to give thanks for all things, to provoke God for all things to work for you. 
Romans 8:28 buttresses, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God…”
The character of love is thanking God.
Despise worrying but worship God with thanksgiving continually.
PRAISING GOD
Praise God with understanding. (Psalm 47:7)
To be alive at the moment of breath is a great grace, the privilege of God but not the right to be alive.
From the depth of the heart, all should know to praise God at every moment of breath. 
Praising God is not a show-off. 
Praising God is not only in noise-making the identity of knowing about God but not knowing God. 
Know God, gain understanding, to praise Him as Psalm 150:6 records, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!”
LISTENING TO THE WORD OF GOD
Listen to the word of God, and turn to His word. 
Turning to the word of God shall lead to deliverance from shame to joyful celebration. 
At the wedding at Cana of Galilee, when the celebration ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus advised the servants of Jesus “…whatever He says to you, do it.” (John 2:5) 
In every way of life, turn to the word of God by listening to Him, and testimony shall not experience shame. 
Turn to God!
LIVE TO BE TURNING TO GOD
Running after a man in the place of not turning to God is not evidence of knowing God. 
Get to KNOW GOD by TURNING to Jesus!
Paul points out that Jesus is for all to turn away from iniquities to Him. 
Acts 3:26 records, “To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.” 
Today, pray the prayer of the Psalmist for yourself as:
Psalm 119:37 records, “Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way.” 
Ask God that His word shall become established in your life. 
Pray to live life by the word of God.
