The truth is that who you begin the year with, journey with and end the year with will determine whether you are victorious, successful and fulfilled or not. You must make God your Alpha and Omega this year. What does this mean? It means that you must accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. By so doing, God will become your Father and His Holy Spirit, your Helper. You must also seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all other things will be added to you. God and His kingdom must come first in your heart and priorities. You must prove that you love Him with all your spirit, soul and body. There is a saying that morning shows the day. How you start your day or year matters. Who you start your day, month or year with matters. If you start with satan and sin, you will reap a harvest of sorrow, pain, anguish and regret. I pray that this will not be your portion, in Jesus' name. However, if you start with God and continue with Him, you will be fruitful and experience all round fulfilment. The Bible records how Jesus began His day during His earthly life and ministry. He would wake up before day break and have quiet time in communion and prayer with His Father. Little wonder He was always having a great and wonderful day. Little wonder He was unstoppable! I counsel you to borrow a leaf from Jesus. To start the year with God is to attract supernatural power and grace to be triumphant, successful and unstoppable. I also encourage you to dedicate yourself, the new year, your family and all that concern you to Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. The mystery of dedication is that you and all you dedicate to Him become God's property and He will take special care of you throughout the year and beyond. *ℙℝ𝔸𝕐𝔼ℝ: My Father, be my Alpha and Omega this year, in the name of Jesus.*
