From My Heart to Yours...
Did you know I pick the topic of each letter/post after I am done writing?
Pardon my manners... Hello People! 👋🏼
Happy New Year!!! I hope you’re having a fabulous one so far. We just finished our Fast Forward campaign at the Elevation Church. Fast Forward is our annual January consecration period when we fast, pray, and generally wait on the Lord.
Fam, this year’s was something else entirely. PGee (Pst. Godman Akinlabi) is operating on a different frequency. I am excited at what God is doing with the Elevation Church Family. This year we are On Eagles’ Wings and trust me we are soaring already.
Okay, enough about church. How are you? Has the year been kind to you? Are you excited about the prospects of the year? How is your heart? How is your soul? How is your spirit? How is your mind? I do hope you will answer these questions in the comments. I would love to know how you’re doing.
From my heart to your heart, I want to remind you that God loves you. As simple as that sounds, many times we are not conscious of it or lose sight of it. But I am glad to remind you that God loves you. This is not the year to let the devil play with you by suggesting otherwise or making you believe what Abba has not said about you.
Yes, there would be some tough seasons in the year. Yes, there will be challenges. Yes, there will be tears. Yes, there will be heartbreaks and disappointments. Yes, things will be turning on their own. But guess what, Abba’s Word is more sure than the skin on our bones, He loves you and would never leave nor forsake you. So when those seasons come in the year, stand on Abba’s promise.
Abba has made some daring promises to me this year. He has also placed some assignments in my hands that make the year quite the scary one already. I know it will be a bloody year regarding what Abba will do with me. But I’ve asked Abba that when my back is against the wall and I feel like throwing in the towel, to remind me of the image of me laying on the floor of my room giving Him thanks on the 30th of December 2023 for how He brought me through 2023 (despite ups and downs, battles, and challenges), and how that would be the same testimony in 2024.
So when the enemy comes knocking, all I see is me lying on the floor on the 31st of December 2024 thanking Abba for a year well done. If He could do it in 2023, being the same yesterday, today, and forever, then He will do something more beautiful in 2024 because the latter has got to be greater than the former.
All I’m saying is, this year give Abba all your attention, let Him lead you, and trust His Word more than you trust your thoughts. Always remember, that what is written in the scriptures is more solid than what is happening around you. Open the Bible and read it.
I’ll tell you about my newfound love for reading the scriptures in my next letter. For now, may Abba keep you, may He cause His face to shine upon you and give you peace in Jesus’ name. I love you but trust me, Abba loves you so much more.
I hope your heart has been strengthened a bit more for the year ahead.
