The Lord's Theme For The Year

The Lord has crowned the year (2011) with His goodness and caused us to walk in His paths that drips with His fatness (Psalm 65:11)

2009 - A Dektos Year

Since my last post on Feb 07, so many good things had taken place.
1. I have been kept busy in my business - running two project concurrently and doing training courses
2. more business opportunities have opened up
3. Great news on the family side of things

At the end of December 2008, Pastor Joseph Prince of New Creation Church, my senior pastor, heard from our Lord Jesus and proclaimed that this year will be the acceptable year of the Lord and he went back to Isaiah 61:1-2 and Luke 418-19 to check out the original text to find out what exactly was meant by the phrase 'acceptable' and he came across the Hebrew "Ratsah" which simply means 'be pleased with, to be favorable to' (as in Isaiah 61) and in the Greek "Dektos" as in Luke 4.

Now the Greek word is more amazing. In 'dektos' one gets the meaning of "the most blessed time when the salvation and the free favors of the Lord profusely abounds". And so when I heard that, I told the Lord that I want to be in that dektos position to be able to receive His super-abounding profuse blessings for my family and I for this year. And I am already beginning to see this taking shape and form in my life, to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

A New Believer's Prayer

Thank you Father for loving us so much that You sent Your precious Son Jesus Christ to this world to die for all our sins. I receive Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior.
Thank you that all my sins have been nailed to the Cross on Jesus at His death and because He died in our place, I am now saved forever. I have been made righteous in Your sight because of what Jesus did and I can now enjoy Your blessings over my life. Thank you for the privilege of being called Your Child and for the Gift of Your Holy Spirit in my life. AMEN
