DATE: THURSDAY, JANUARY 2ND 2025


TOPIC: PRAYERS FOR 2025


MEMORISE:

“And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.” - (Genesis 12:2)


READ: ISAIAH 35:1-10 (KJV)


1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.


2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.


3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.


4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.


5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.


6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.


7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.


8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.


9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:


10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.


PRAYERS:

1. Thank you, Lord for the blessings, lessons, and experiences of 2024. Thank You for being faithful to me throughout last year.


2. Father, in this new year, I need your guidance and wisdom like never before. Please help me make the right decisions all through this year.


3. Father, I want to be closer to You this year. Please birth a hunger and thirst for You in my heart like never before, in Jesus' name.


4. Father, please make me a vessel unto honour, and help me to work for You this year more than ever before to win souls into Your kingdom.


5. Father, I don't want to engage in fruitless efforts this year. Please bless the works of my hands, in Jesus' name.


6. Father, please help me to grow spiritually, emotionally, financially, and in all areas of my life in this new year, in Jesus' name.


7. Father, please protect me, my family, and my loved ones throughout this year. Don't let any harm come to us, in Jesus' name.


8. Father, please nullify every plan of the enemy against me and my family this year. Every weapon that is fashioned against us shall not prosper, in Jesus' name.


9. Father, please rebuke the devourer for my sake this year. Don't let the devil steal from me and my loved ones, in Jesus' name.


10. Father, please help me and my neighbours to live in peace and prosperity throughout this year, in Jesus' name.

HYMNAL: 22 - SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER! SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER!

1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

that calls me from a world of care,

and bids me at my Father's throne

make all my wants and wishes known.

In seasons of distress and grief,

my soul has often found relief,

and oft escaped the tempter's snare

by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!


2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

the joys I feel, the bliss I share

of those whose anxious spirits burn

with strong desires for thy return!

With such I hasten to the place

where God my Savior shows his face,

and gladly take my station there,

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!


3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!

thy wings shall my petition bear

to him whose truth and faithfulness

engage the waiting soul to bless.

And since he bids me seek his face,

believe his word, and trust his grace,

I'll cast on him my every care,

and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

TOPIC: GOD HAS HELPED YOU


MEMORISE:

There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. Deuteronomy 33:26


READ: PSALMS 124:1-8


1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;


2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:


3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:


4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:


5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.


6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.


7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.


8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.


MESSAGE:


It is a new year, and you have every reason to thank God. You may think that last year did not go as you planned, but believe me, if not for God's mercy, you wouldn't have survived the year (Lamentations 3:22). This is why you shouldn't make the mistake of complaining to God and grumbling about things that didn't go as you wanted.


Rather, you should thank Him for bringing you this far. If you go into the year with thanksgiving, you are assured of access to the One who can make you have a great year (Psalm 100:4). However, if you go into the year with complaints, especially complaints against the only One who can help you, you are treading dangerously. Numbers 11:1 says:


"And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp."


In 1 Samuel 7:12, Prophet Samuel said, "Hitherto you have helped us." In other words, this means, "In the journeys thus far, we have received help from you." This is a statement of survivors – those who say, "Thank God I have made it thus far." Today's Bible reading says that if the Lord had not been on our side, we would not be where we are now.


You can never tell how many battles God has fought for you. You may not even know how many victories He has given you. As for me, thus far in my journey of life, God has helped me. Despite everything the devil has tried, l am still here. If you are a survivor, you should really spend some time thanking God for all He has done for you.


If you passed through tough situations last year and you are alive now and reading this, then you have indeed been helped by God. If last year went smoothly for you, despite all the troubles in the world, then you have also been helped by God, for without Him, you could not have achieved anything (John 15:5). Whichever your case was, you should be very grateful to Him for all the help He rendered to you (1 Thessalonians 5:18).


Beloved, go ahead now and sing praises to the Lord. Spend the day thinking about His goodness to you, and ensure you enter into this new year with thanksgiving. It is the foundation for receiving more from Him.


KEY POINT:

Give thanks to God for all He has done for you, and be prepared to receive more from Him this year.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  GENESIS 1-4

TOPIC: PRAYERS FOR 2025


MEMORISE:

“Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.” - (Psalm 65:11)


READ: ISAIAH 45:1-3 (KJV)


1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;


2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:


3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.


PRAYERS:


1. Father, thank You for keeping me throughout 2024. It is by Your mercy that I was not consumed. I am truly grateful Lord.


2. Father, please help me to move forward in fulfilling Your purpose for my life in the coming year. Please make 2025 far better than 2024, in Jesus’ name.


3. Father, please go ahead of me into 2025 and make all crooked paths straight. Please give me victory throughout the year, in Jesus’ name.


4. Father, please help me to draw closer to You than ever before in 2025. Give me the grace to study my Bible and pray more than ever, in Jesus’ name.


5. Father, please help me to walk in Your perfect will for me in 2025. Help me not to walk outside Your plan for my life in the new year, in Jesus’ name.


6. Father, please bless the works of my hands more than ever before in the new year, in Jesus’ name.


7. Father, please do not let me and my family experience any sorrow in 2025. We will rejoice from the beginning of the year until the end of the year and beyond, in Jesus’ name.


8. Father, please help me to walk in Your wisdom throughout 2025. I will not walk in confusion or make costly mistakes in the new year, in Jesus’ name.


9. Father, I ask for a special miracle for every month of the new year. Please do something great and special for me every month, so that everyone can testify of Your goodness in my life.


10. Father, please help me to walk in a higher level of Your anointing in 2025. Use me to perform miracles and win many souls to Your Kingdom, in Jesus’ name.


11. Father, please, let your peace reign in my life, family, church, nation, and all that concerns me in the coming year. Please let me experience all round peace in 2025, in Jesus’ name.


12. Your personal prayer points for 2025.

HYMNAL: 19 - ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME


1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

let me hide myself in thee;

let the water and the blood,

from thy wounded side which flowed,

be of sin the double cure;


save from wrath and make me pure.

2 Not the labors of my hands

can fulfill thy law's demands;

could my zeal no respite know,

could my tears forever flow,

all for sin could not atone;

thou must save, and thou alone.


3 Nothing in my hand I bring,

simply to the cross I cling;

naked, come to thee for dress;

helpless, look to thee for grace;

foul, I to the fountain fly;

wash me, Savior, or I die.


4 While I draw this fleeting breath,

when mine eyes shall close in death,

when I soar to worlds unknown,

see thee on thy judgment throne,

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

let me hide myself in thee.

THEME: FORGET THE THINGS OF THE PAST


MEMORISE:

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. Philippians 3:13


READ: ISAIAH 43:18-19


18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.


19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.


MESSAGE:

We have come to the end of another year, and I believe that many people are thinking about how the year turned out. Many may even begin to feel that there are certain things that they should have done better. It is normal to have such feelings, as they can help a person to make better decisions in the future. However, it is unfruitful to dwell on the past. There is nothing to gain from living in regret about the past.


Beloved, it is time to put the past behind you and begin to look forward to the glorious year that is ahead of you.


First of all, no matter what you have or do not have yet, you must always give thanks. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says,


"In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in  Christ Jesus concerning you."


Yes, the year has come to an end and you wish you had done better, but if you look closely, you will discover that you have many reasons to thank God. If you had died in the course of the year, you would not even be here to reflect on the past. There are so many things to thank God for. Show God that you are grateful because when God sees a grateful heart, He always visits that fellow with a blessing (1 Kings 3:3-15).


Secondly, note that God can make all things work together for your good (Romans 8:28). God can turn whatever you count as a loss into profit for you. When Joseph was thrown into prison in Genesis 39:20, it seemed like a bad experience for him; little did he know that the prison was his steppingstone to becoming the Prime Minister of the greatest nation in the world at that time.


Don't ever write yourself off; always put God in the will equation of your life. When you do this, you experience a complete turnaround and His tremendous blessings will follow.


If, however, you have been living in sin, do not expect God to help you turn things around. He said in Isaiah 3:11, "Say unto the wicked that it shall be ill with him." This means that it shall not be well with anyone that is living in sin. On the other hand, the Bible says in Isaiah 3:10, "Say unto the righteous, it shall be well with him."


Beloved, if you want to experience God's blessings in the year ahead of you, make up your mind to live according to His will daily.


ACTION POINT:

Live according to God's word every day in 2025, and all will be well with you. Happy New Year in advance.

HYMN 16: TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS


1 'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus

Just to take Him at His Word

Just to rest upon His promise;

Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord"


Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him

How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!

Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!

Oh, for grace to trust Him more!


2 O how sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just to trust His cleansing blood;

And in simple faith to plunge me

'Neath the healing, cleansing flood! 


3 Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just from sin and self to cease,

Just from Jesus simply taking

Life and rest, and joy and peace.


4 I'm so glad I learned to trust Thee,

Precious Jesus, Saviour, Friend,

And I know that Thou art with me,

Wilt be with me to the end

TOPIC: HANDLING CRITICISMS


MEMORISE:

“Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.” - (Hebrews 12:11)


READ: PROVERBS 15:31-32 (KJV)


31  The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.


32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.


MESSAGE:

A lot of people think that being a leader means that whatever they say or do is final and should not be questioned. If you are making any progress in life, criticisms will definitely come. When The Redeemed Christian Church of God was just a small church with headquarters in a small corner of Ebute-metta, no one criticized us. Now that we have branches all around the world, criticisms come in from everywhere. This is a sign of growth, and rather than being sad about it, I am happy that we have grown.


Some people will criticize you out of love because your success means a lot to them. Some will criticize you out of spite because they are envious of you and want you to fail. Either way, your attitude to criticism is what will determine if you will succeed or fail. Proverbs 1:5-7 says:


A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.


Beloved, be open to suggestions from your subordinates or people who you consider younger or less experienced than you. When they tell you that you are not doing something right, listen to them without getting defensive or aggressive. If you grumble and sulk for days because you were criticized, you need to speak to yourself so that you can last. No matter what people say about you, you must never give the impression that you are above correction. Moses was the anointed one who was called by God. He spoke to God mouth to mouth (Numbers 12:8), yet the solution to the challenge he had in ministry was with his father-in-law who did not have the same intimacy with God as he did. You may be the head of your home, Chief Executive Officer or pastor, but that does not mean you know it all.


Believe me, every criticism is an opportunity for you to become a better person. If you take it well, you will become better. The choice is yours. Some of the decisions we made that helped us become better were responses to criticism. I know some of the critics meant harm, but God used them to show us how to do things better, and we are growing stronger for it.


KEY POINT:

Always see criticism as an opportunity to grow, not an opportunity to fight the critic.

DATE: SATURDAY DECEMBER 28TH 2024


TOPIC: EXAMINE YOURSELF


MEMORISE:

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” - (2 Corinthians 13:5)


READ: 1 CORINTHIANS 11:31-32 (KJV)


31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.


32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.


MESSAGE:

In Isaiah 6:1-5, Isaiah beheld God’s glory and holiness, and he cried, “Woe is me!” Before then, he had been prophesying, and everyone saw him as holy. However, he looked at himself in the light of God’s glory and holiness, and saw the real state he was in.


Beloved, it is important to have a self-reflection every now and then. Don’t rely solely on what people say about you because they might not know you as well as you know yourself. They might not know the thoughts of your heart or what you do behind closed doors. Therefore, you need to look closely at yourself and perform an honest evaluation of the real state of your heart.


Don’t judge yourself by your own standards; rather, judge yourself by God’s standard. The Bible says in (2 Corinthians 10:18) that it is not the fellow who commends himself that is righteous, but the one that the Lord commends. Isaiah might have been judging himself by his own standards, but when he encountered God’s glory, he saw that he was not in the state he was supposed to be. Judge yourself in the light of the truth in God’s word; this will tell you whether you are on the right track or not. Do not judge yourself based on your feelings, what the society is saying, or on your achievements. Use God’s word as a mirror, and let it show you the real you. After weighing yourself according to God’s word, surrender completely to Him and ask Him to help you to live right.


After Isaiah’s experience in Isaiah 6:1-5, he knew that the only way he could truly be holy was by God’s help. You cannot be righteous by your own power; you need God to help you. Psalm 20:1-2 says that you should pray that the Lord sends help to you from the sanctuary. Until you know that you need help, help won’t come from the sanctuary. You must remain in front of the mirror of God’s word until you receive help to become righteous. Do not be like the man that was described in James 1:22-24; continue steadfastly in God’s word.


(1 Corinthians 11:31) says that if you judge yourself properly, you will not be judged. This means that after examining yourself, identifying your faults, and making the right adjustments, you will not be condemned when the time of judgment comes.


Beloved, I pray that as you make a habit of examining yourself using the standard of God, you will receive a commendation from the Master on the last day, in Jesus’ name.


PRAYER POINT:

Father, please help me to live by Your standards at all times, in Jesus' name.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: REVELATION 15-17


AUTHOR PASTOR E A ADEBOYE 


HYMNAL: 23 - TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE 


1 Take my life and let it be

consecrated, Lord, to thee.

Take my moments and my days;

let them flow in endless praise,

let them flow in endless praise.


2 Take my hands and let them move

at the impulse of thy love.

Take my feet and let them be

swift and beautiful for thee,

swift and beautiful for thee.


3 Take my voice and let me sing

always, only, for my King.

Take my lips and let them be

filled with messages from thee,

filled with messages from thee.


4 Take my silver and my gold;

not a mite would I withhold.

Take my intellect and use

every power as thou shalt choose,

every power as thou shalt choose.


5 Take my will and make it thine;

it shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart it is thine own;

it shall be thy royal throne,

it shall be thy royal throne.


6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour

at thy feet its treasure store.

Take myself, and I will be

ever, only, all for thee,

ever, only, all for thee.

Some of the prayer points are deep spiritually and may not be understood by carnal minds.


If you want to be blessed from these prayer points, you must first, surrender Your life, to the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself, by saying this prayer:


“Lord Jesus, I come to You with a deeply repentant heart, please, forgive me all my sins. I surrender my life to you, today, and, I accept You, as my personal Lord and Saviour. Please, come into my life and save my soul from eternal destruction in hell fire. In Jesus' name, I pray.”

3.Father, thank You for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the assurance of eternal life through the work of redemption.


4.Father, thank You for the liberty we enjoy as Christians, thank You for setting us free indeed from the slavery of sin.


5.Father, please, open the eyes of the unbelievers as you opened mine, and deliver them out of their prison into the freedom that Jesus has made available for them, in Jesus' name.


6.Father, please, help me to live and walk in the restrictions that comes with being redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, in Jesus' name.


7.Father, please, help me to carry the yoke of Christ and to bear His burdens, which are far easier than those of the devil, in Jesus' name.

Note:

You may not add, subtract or rearrange these prayer points.

 The Holy Spirit is the author, though He used someone, who, out of humility has refused to take glory for it, by not putting his name. It is plagiarism to use, or pass as your own, someone else writing or work. The original author of these prayer points is the Holy Spirit. So, share, but don't share His glory with Him in the process.

Remain blessed, as you obey, in Jesus' name.
