GLORIOUS SUNDAY SERMON OF 4TH JANUARY 2026 LESSON: ISAIAH 40:28-31 TOPIC: RESET; STARTING AGAIN WITH GOD TEXT: But those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV). INTRODUCTION: The first Sunday of the year is a sacred threshold. Behind us lie last year’s victories, delays, disappointments, and unanswered prayers. Ahead lie unknown days, untapped opportunities, and God’s fresh purposes. And today, heaven is speaking: “Those who wait on Me will be renewed. They will rise. They will not grow weary. They will not faint.” Waiting on God is not idle. It is spiritual alignment. It is the soil from which a divine reset springs. As we embark on this new year, Isaiah 40:31 reminds us: God’s strength is made perfect in our patience, trust, and obedience. This year, we are called to start again with God, renewed in spirit, focused in purpose, and fortified for every challenge. EXPOSITION: [1]. GOD WELCOMES NEW BEGINNINGS: The God we serve is a God of restoration. When Peter fell, Jesus restored him (John 21). When the prodigal son returned, the Father ran to embrace him (Luke 15:20).Waiting on God positions us to receive His fresh start. It aligns our hearts with His timing and renews our strength for the journey. Heaven is saying: “No matter how last year ended, I have new purposes for you. Stand still, trust Me, and watch your strength return.” Psalm 103:13, Lamentations 3:22–23, Micah 7:18 [2]. RESET REQUIRES HONESTY: A divine reset cannot thrive in deception. David prayed, “Search me, O God” (Psalm 139:23). Waiting on the Lord demands transparency: confess the hidden sins, the compromises, the wounds that block renewal. When we wait honestly, God breathes strength into our weaknesses. He lifts burdens, restores hearts, and makes our steps steady. Waiting without truth is wasted time; waiting in honesty activates God’s power. Scriptures: Psalm 51:6, Psalm 51:10, Proverbs 28:13, 1 John 1:9 [3]. WALKING FORWARD, STEP BY STEP: Renewed strength does not always come as a leap—it comes in faithful steps. “They shall walk, and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31). God orders every step, protects every path, and empowers every effort. Small, consistent acts of obedience—praying, reading, serving, trusting—become supernatural when coupled with patience and dependence on God. This year, we refuse backward living. We press forward. We rise on eagles’ wings. Psalm 37:23, Joshua 1:8, Hebrews 12:1–2, Philippians 3:14 CONCLUSION: A DIVINE PROMISE Isaiah 40:31 is not just a verse—it is a divine promise. This year, waiting on God will renew your strength, lift your purpose, and align your destiny. Old cycles will break. Delays will end. Dormant callings will awaken. If you allow Him, God will reset your heart, your life, and your ministry. This is a year to start again with God… boldly, faithfully, prophetically. 2 Corinthians 5:17. PROPHETIC PRAYER: Father, renew our strength. Lift us on wings like eagles. Help us run without weariness and walk without fainting. Restore what was lost. Heal what was broken. Align our steps with Your purposes. Let this year be marked by Your presence, Your power, and Your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen. NEW YEAR PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS (Isaiah 40:31) This year, I wait on the Lord, and my strength is renewed. I shall mount up with wings like eagles; I shall rise above every limitation. I will run, and not grow weary; I will walk, and not faint. Every old cycle is broken in Jesus’ name. Every delay over my destiny is lifted by God’s mercy. I walk in purpose, purity, and power, guided by the Spirit. By His grace, I start again, and I rise again. Jesus is my anchor, my strength, and my testimony this year. So shall it be, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen. GOODWILL MESSAGE: May the Lord’s strength renew you daily. May His fire rise within you. May your destiny unfold in His perfect timing. This year is yours for GREATER TESTIMONY and GLORY. HAPPY BLESSED FIRST SUNDAY OF THE YEAR HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK, MONTH & YEAR. THIS WEEK YOU ARE FINANCIALLY RESTORED, SHALOM. JESUS LOVES YOU; AND, HE TRULY CARES FOR YOU. RESTART WITH GOD OR NOT! JESUS IS COMING BACK AGAIN!!

GLORIOUS 2026 NEW YEAR SERMON 1ST JANUARY 2026 LESSON: Malachi 3:16-18 TOPIC: 2026: YEAR OF GREATER TESTIMONY TEXT: Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him. Malachi 3:18 (NKJV) INTRODUCTION: Some years feel ordinary. You live them, you move on. But there are other years that arrive with a sense of divine weight. I honestly believe 2026 is one of those years. A year that will remember people. A year that will wipe tears. But also… a year that will expose wickedness. Like a two-edged sword. So maybe the question we should all quietly ask ourselves is simple: Where do I really stand with God? May the message bring joy and happiness into your life in Jesus name. [1]. GOD REMEMBERS HIS OWN Mordecai served faithfully. He did the right thing. He protected the king. And then…. No reward. No recognition. Nothing. But one night, the King could not sleep, and the Book of Remembrance was opened. Esther 6:1-3. That is how God works sometimes. He watches. He records. And then, at the right time, He remembers. In 2026, many who have loved God quietly… prayed quietly… given quietly… obeyed quietly… will discover that nothing was wasted. The tears. The sacrifices. The seasons that felt forgotten. God says, “I remembered.” And when God remembers, He doesn’t whisper it. He makes it visible. He brings honor where there was neglect. He restores dignity where there was delay. I think that’s hope for someone who has waited a long time. Malachi 3:16 [2]. THE FAITHFUL WILL BE CELEBRATED There are people who have walked with God sincerely, even when it cost them something. In 2026, many of such people will be openly lifted. God delights in turning quiet obedience into loud testimony. He will cause righteousness to shine like light… not because anyone fought for recognition, but because God Himself steps in and says, “It is time.” Psalm 37:5-6 Unfulfilled dreams. Abandoned projects. Long prayers that seemed unanswered. This is a year where God breathes again on what looked buried. It will not be by human push or manipulation, but by divine remembrance. Many will simply say, “This can only be God.” [3]. A WARNING TO THE WICKED ( Revelation 22:11-12) But God also speaks with a sober voice. To those who delight in evil… who oppress, destroy, manipulate, and mock His name… He says, “Repent.” Because the days of wickedness are numbered and vengeance is mine. Romans 12:19. Also, Revelation 22:11-12 reminds us that the Lord is coming with reward and judgment. If people insist on wickedness, this same year that blesses the righteous will confront the evil-doer. It is still mercy that God warns before He judges. But judgment is real. CONCLUSION: 2026 A YEAR OF DIVIDING LINE! So, 2026 stands as a dividing line. A Year of Greater Testimony for those who love God. A Year of Vengeance for those who hate His ways. The choice… is ours. PRAYER: Lord, remember me in 2026. Let my life enter Your Book of Remembrance. Help me walk sincerely with You. Deliver me from every path of wickedness. Amen. GOODWILL MESSAGE: I believe this will be a beautiful year for those who cling to God with truth in their hearts. Stay faithful. Stay steady.
