THANK YOU FRIENDS FOR THE YEAR 2023 ENDING: YOU’VE BEEN AN EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD AND RESPECTFUL DESPITE ALL ODDS!
I am saying – THANK YOU – For being such a GOOD and EXCEPTIONAL God reverential-fearing friend in YEAR2023; and for holding on to such a godly relationship that the relationship on this platform has been without hitches and odds as often seen and experienced on most social media platforms. It’s my special time to remind you as always though you know, that the YEAR 2024 starts-up is LOADING, and Year 2023 finishing points are in proximity – coming to an end in hours.
The YEAR2023 has been to me a great and awesome good year in many respect in spite of other diverse happenings around us respectively and in our world; and it must be noted that it has been all well, good and possible, despite the challenges, because of the enabling GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE and the GOOD WILL of God in Christ Jesus stead. It is by this God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS that had been made available to us, that has given us an edge over and above limitations, despite all of the challenging and difficult times that the world is experiencing right now – I mean the happenings in various places at same time in terms of – WAR, ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY, UNRESOLVED PANDEMIC, POLITICAL LEADERSHIP UNCERTAINTY, UNSTABLE GOVERNMENT AND GOVERNANCE, EVIL AND WICKEDNESS INFILTRATION INTO THE VARIOUS WORLD RELIGIOUS SETTINGS and various such likes. These happenings had created and brought about many events that have altered people’s life’s and livelihoods; and in the midst of all these situations that wasn’t intended but had happened and are happening, God has been GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to keep us alive in the midst of many human failings.
“GRACE to YOU and PEACE from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave Himself for our sins, that He might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL AGE, according to the WILL of our God and Father, 5 to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.
And this opportunity of being alive and here, is a simple and gracious testament to the essence of the worth of life and living, which only has been made possible by God’s help, and not necessarily because you or I, are too clever and intelligent; and God in His MERCIES, LOVE and GRACE, is giving you and I also, another opportunity to fulfil purpose in Him – come YEAR 2024 [Deuteronomy 7:6-10; Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 2:8-10]. And if you do agree with me, why not just say an – AMEN.
And I do know also, that by God’s grace, at the end of today been the end day and end date of the YEAR 2023 and DECEMBER 31, 2023 respectively, I may have interacted with YOU in the Gregorian Calendar calculator for 1Year, 12Months, 52Weeks, 365days, 8,760Hours, 525,600Minutes and 31,536,000Seconds. That’s really and truly incredibly, gracious and graceful time for me in every measure. God is just good all the time and even now. I truly appreciate you in Christ Jesus stead, on your continuous willingness to keep to a godly friendship and to read if you do, my CONTINUOUS POST to INSPIRE FAITH and GODLY LIVING and PREPARING you for Christ Jesus return, in the light of God’s WORD and Holy Spirit lead, by His grace and BLESSEDNESS.
And this post is just my little way to say THANKS and THANK YOU for keeping up with me through this Social Networking Media in FRIENDSHIP even though in many respects we might have or not have met but have been CIVIL and in CIVILITY to each other. And it’s been a fantastic journey and that makes you worth my thanks and appreciation of your good and godly living behaviour. Your interaction through the YEAR 2023 especially during this challenging times scenario, has been great and very amazing. You’ve been awesomely awesome, amazingly gracious, fabulously gorgeous and a living prove and proof of God’s goodness and love to humanity. Also, a good great friend that has been so far, so good, in many respects and diverse in being humane in the context of friendship.
I pray for you, that the very BEST of God come through to you in YEAR 2024; but as for me, it’s another page to LIVE, THRIVE and SOAR through THE PREVAILING WORD – of God’s POSSIBILITIES into the ASSURING year 2024; this is being made assured in the righteous consciousness of God’s capacity and ability in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, I have themed YEAR2024 as my year to LIVE, THRIVE and SOAR in the ASSURED reality of – “BEING TRIUMPHANT IN EVERY PLACE” – in Christ Jesus stead, of God’s BLESSEDNESS. Meaning, a year of experiencing the GREATER LIFE of God to live, thrive and soar in a meaningful, purposeful, colourful and fulfilling LIFE and GODLY LIVING; and this is all about what God in His REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, has offered and covenanted to us all to access and to possess as an INHERITANCE in Him. [Acts 20:32; Hebrews 6:10-12].
I hope for you, that you will enjoy your moment for today and the few HOURS and MINUTES AND SECONDS left, as we turn the page again to another beautiful and adventurous and assuring YEAR 2024 that God has made [Psalms 118:24; Psalms 65:11-13; Proverbs 16:4]; God has made the day to assure and ensure that we live to be fulfilled in PURPOSE; and in PURPOSE that we are FULFILLED meaningfully – toward Him and His Christ for the good of us, humanity and His kingdom cause, and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay. Amen. I like the last phrase there: ‘GOD HAS MADE’. And because He lives, you will LIVE, THRIVE and SOAR also, in the GREATER LIFE in His limitless possibilities in BLESSEDNESS.
JESUS LOVES AND CARES FOR YOU, SO DO I IN HIS STEAD IN LIFE AND GRACE. AMEN.
I wish you EVERY BLESSING In God’s LOVE. And may my God of all grace be with you and those you love and care about through His WORD on these Scriptural writs below.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are sanctified” Acts 20:32.
“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS (UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL) to forget your WORK and LABOUR OF LOVE, which ye have SHEWED toward his name, in that ye have MINISTERED to the saints, and DO minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through faith and patience INHERIT the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12.
“For to me, to LIVE is Christ [He is my source of joy, my reason to live] and to die is gain [for I will be with Him in eternity]” Philippians 1:21 (AMPLIFIED).
“God, who MADE the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26 And He has MADE from one blood EVERY NATION of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has DETERMINED their preappointed TIMES and the BOUNDARIES of their DWELLINGS, 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; 28 FOR IN HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING” Acts 17:24-28 NKJV.
“For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. 7 THE LORD DID NOT SET HIS LOVE UPON YOU, NOR CHOOSE YOU, BECAUSE YE WERE MORE IN NUMBER THAN ANY PEOPLE; FOR YE WERE THE FEWEST OF ALL PEOPLE: 8 BUT BECAUSE THE LORD LOVED YOU, AND BECAUSE HE WOULD KEEP THE OATH WHICH HE HAD SWORN UNTO YOUR FATHERS, Hath The Lord Brought You Out With A MIGHTY HAND, AND REDEEMED YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE OF BONDMEN, FROM THE HAND OF PHARAOH KING OF EGYPT. 9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 10 and repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face” Deuteronomy 7:6-10.
“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to HIS PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the FIRSTBORN among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.
“In whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the COUNSEL of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:11-12.
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor EAR heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
