Happy 2016-His Domain

Friday 1 January

Congratulations, through it all, you have made it to the new year, 2016.

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. 
17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul. Psa. 103:1-22

Looking back, it is clear that only God could have brought us into 2016. Therefore, Bless the LORD, all his works…. : Psa. 103:22(a). Note the next word, …in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul. Wherever you are at home or abroad, hospital or cinema, in or out of prison, in pleasure or pain, celebrating or mourning, Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

And not only in all places but in all places of his dominion. The phrase “places of his dominion” is the reason why you can bless the Lord no matter your state or location. Whatever is happening in the places of His dominion must end well, even if it is not well presently. His dominion is the place of His domain and nothing that makes for sorrow, defeat, affliction, delay, dejection, darkness or evil can ever prevail in His domain. Make 2016 a complete season of His domain and a year of moving forward will be yours in everything.

1. When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 . Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 . The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 . The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6. Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

7. Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8. Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. Psa. 114:1-8.

Because Judah and Israel was His dominion, “the sea saw it and fled”: Jordan was driven back. That is the power of His dominion and that is why the power of His domain is the reason why everything in His domain must bless Him.

Make God your priority this year and don't be an absentee church member. Pay your tithes, offerings and give seeds; live holy, evangelise and let God be seen in all you do. In that way you will be God's domain and I guarantee you, in God, that this will be for you a year of moving forward and the best of all years. Congratulations and welcome to 2016!

Now pray that:
* You shall be a place of God's abode this year.
* As God's domain all seas and mountains shall skip before you this year.
* By the reason of being God's domain, no one, born of a woman shall be able to stop you this year. You will move forward, in the name of Jesus.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
My Father, the Owner and Creator of times and seasons, thank You for the gift of 2016, in Jesus mighty name.
