Happy New Year and Welcome to the Season of His Glory

Bible Reading in One Year: Genesis 1-2

On behalf of myself, my household and the entire leadership of the JAWOM family worldwide, I say HAPPY NEW YEAR to all members of our great Commission, partners, friends and all people of goodwill. It's a new year, therefore, Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing…: Isa. 43:18-19. This Word encourages you to let go the failure, pain, disappointment, sorrow and the like of 2013; let them go with the old year. Begin to work for and look forward, by faith, to new things in the New Year. What are the new things: Lev. 26:4-12 (NLT).

4 . I will send you the seasonal rains. The land will then yield its crops, and the trees of the field will produce their fruit.

5. Your threshing season will overlap with the grape harvest, and your grape harvest will overlap with the season of planting grain. You will eat your fill and live securely in your
own land.

6 . I will give you peace in the land, and you will be able to sleep with no cause for fear. I will rid the land of wild animals and keep your enemies out of your land.

7. In fact, you will chase down your enemies and slaughter them with your swords.

8. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand! All your enemies will fall beneath your sword.

9. I will look favorably upon you, making you fertile and multiplying your people. And I will fulfill my covenant with you.

10. You will have such a surplus of crops that you will need to clear out the old grain to make room for the new harvest!
11. I will live among you, and I will not despise you.
12. I will walk among you; I will be your God, and you will be my people.

Standing on these promises of God, 2014 is a season of His glory upon you in all areas of life. Old stories will give way to a new glory of God which will swallow up your reproach and pain until there is no single reproach left in your life. Your land shall overflow with blessings, your harvest will last beyond the next planting season, your land/destiny shall be fertile, you shall not cast your young ones, you shall not be feeble, silver and gold will serve you. You will be blessed and be a blessing. Negative end time prophecies will not overtake you. You will serve God; you will not serve sin or satan.

You will be a battle axe in the hand of God. With you God's purpose and plan shall be fulfilled. You will end 2014 on a glorious note. You are permanently in our prayers and care. We prophesy a happy year for you, in Jesus' mighty name.

Bishop and Rev. (Mrs.) David Bakare.

The Last Adam

Text: Rom.5:17-19 

More Lessons Isa.53:4-5

Every born again child of God is born to reign; not just in Heaven but even in this life. By our adamic nature, we are sinners and total losers because when the first man, Adam, committed high treason against the government and rule of God in Heaven, his sin brought judgment on the entire human race. Every human gene carried this judged and low nature. The life expectancy of man kept dropping from almost 1000years to about 70years now.

Man and all of creation began to experience dominion melt-down. Life according to the lineage and order of Adam only brought shame, sickness, sin and a low life because of the curse of sin. But several years later, Christ Jesus came on the scene, sent by God and paid the ultimate price by dying on the cross, shed His blood, saved us from our sins, rose again triumphantly after three days and now through Him we have received a higher life such as has never been seen before. This is our Holy Ghost birth or our second birth. Now you are a new creation in Christ Jesus, you are a winner and a champion forever, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God John3:3. Our new birth is a total paradigm shift from the principles and Our new birth is a total paradigm shift from the principles and demands of the old and cursed man to the power and wisdom of God by the one, Jesus Christ.

There is a higher life in Christ Jesus, higher than sickness and disease, higher than the fear of man or failure, and even higher than death itself, …and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Praise God forever more Eph. 2:6. No devil can stop a believer in Christ Jesus because he/she is seated far above all the wickedness of this world. The blessings of God are free for born again people. This is our grace story. We got what we did not deserve because we believe in Christ! You may say that's too good to be true, until you read the full account of what it cost Jesus Christ to take all the punishment for the sins of mankind, taking the full weight of God's wrath against us upon Himself just to save you and I from the curse of sin and give us a rebirth into uncommon favour and grace.

The life of God that we lost in Adam is restored in Jesus. Jesus is the only way out of trouble and to eternal joy and fulfilment. Jesus is the last Adam, full of grace and glory. Just believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord. Start living a new life. Jesus is Lord!

Prayer/Action

* Say, “Thank You Jesus for paying the ultimate price for my redemption”.

* Because Jesus has paid fully all that needed to be paid, I enter fully into my inheritance, my life shall no longer be void of anything good.

* Receive the mentality of a winner and a champion for all things today.

Help is on the Way II

Text: Psa.37:34

More Lessons Jam.1:6-22

To trust God means to take away your confidence from man and focus entirely on God alone because the arm of flesh will fail but the Word of God lives and abides forever. We cannot do God's part for Him. He alone is God. We can only do our part and wait on Him to move on our behalf. We cannot also ask God to do our part for us. Waiting on God is actually partnering with the divine to deliver the fulfilment of our destiny. Sometimes it could be tough waiting for God especially when you've prayed and prayed and He seems not to say a word about what you're going through.

The best way to handle such seasons and transitionary times is to remember that when a teacher sets an exam, he's quiet and says nothing until the exams is over. Sometimes those tough times are test times that the Lord is taking you through and like every good examination, He intends to use those circumstances to take you to your next level.

Waiting on God has largely been misunderstood to just mean fasting and praying endlessly on a pressing need or matter, but as much as those exercises form the bedrock practices for waiting on God, there is much more. Let's look at a few more things that we must get straight in trying and waiting times.

1. Never murmur or worry. Many people spend most of their waiting moments murmuring or worrying as though they have forgotten that the God we serve can never fail. So to get quick answers to your prayers, you cannot pray and worry; you must remain joyful at all times. You must depend on the joy of the Lord to strengthen you. Crying and weeping will only depress and keep you further away from taking hold of your miracle.

2. Sow seeds sacrificially. One of the principles that are binding on the universe is the law of sowing and reaping. Sowing provokes a harvest. Sow a prophet's offering to your pastor or make a vow to the Lord in your local assembly and bind it to your request. Look for people who God has blessed with the same thing you desire and sow a seed into their lives to connect to the blessing in their lives. Be involved in projects to help the needy or build the house of God. For when you put the matters of God's house first, He puts the issues of your house first. Between the promise and the provision is the process. Hang in there because Help is on the way for you!

Prayer/Action

• Ask for the unfailing help of the Lord for all that you do.
• Ask for direction from the Lord concerning the type of things to do for the particular help you need.

Meet a particular need of a member of your family or assembly today as a point of contact for your help.

Help is on the Way I

More Lessons 1 Sam.1:1-19

Waiting on the lord is one of the most discussed topics in Gospel articles, discussions, books and teachings across Christian denominations and pulpits because it is ever relevant. We all have one thing or the other that we are waiting upon the Lord for, at one time or the other. For this reason and more, therefore, we cannot be ignorant of the right or appropriate way to brace ourselves as we wait upon the Lord for a miracle or breakthrough. I believe that it is largely our ignorance of the subject that has cost us the delays in our breakthroughs and victories. There are a few basic but infallible truths about waiting on God for a miracle.

1. Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ is the first step in waiting on God. Let it be settled in your heart that the price for all your needs has been paid by the death of Jesus on the cross. No pain or sickness comes from God. The curse of sin is broken and the bounties of Heaven are available for us. Healing, provision, miracle, babies, favour in career and a blessed home are all our rights through Christ Jesus, Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree Gal. 3:13. We do not beg to be blessed; we.walk in the blessings that God has commanded over us as sons of God, And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you Luke11:9

2. You must find the promises of God in His Word that address your needs and wants and demand for them in Jesus name. The only things God will not provide for us are the things he did not promise us. If He said He will do it, you can believe that He fulfil His word, Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away Matt.24:35.

One thing you can always count on is that any request you make according to God's will and Word will not go unanswered, Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss…. James 4:3. One way to always be sure you do not ask amiss is to ask according to God's Word. Knowing that God will never ignore a request made to him from His Word and by the name of Jesus helps us maintain peace, rest and joy even in waiting and trying times. Our God is a prayer-answering God. It's your time for a miracle because help is on the way for you. Only believe!

Prayer/Action

* Receive the power of faith to be able to trust God for all you need in life.

* Declare that you will not desire without having, every of your good expectations will materialise, in Jesus’ name.

* Say, “Help of the Lord, come to me, in Jesus’ name” seven times now and you will see God in action.
