FOCUS: THANKSGIVING
Our spiritual focus for the month of January 2021 is Thanksgiving.
Each an everyone of us have a reason to thank the Lord for making it possible for us to see another year. A lot of people passed away last year but here you are still standing and alive!
God is committed to making this year a great and fulfilling year for you if you are committed to obeying and serving him.
It is necessary that you forget all the ugly incidents that took place last year and focus on Jesus Christ.
“They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.”
Psalms 34:5
If you will look up to Jesus steadfastly this year, you will not see shame.
The Lord will go ahead of you and make every crooked path straight in the name of Jesus.
