THE LORD IS MY SALVATION


“And in that day thou shalt say O Lord, I will praise thee though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say praise the Lord, call upon His name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. Cay out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee” (ISAIAH 12:1-6) KING JAMES VERSION
Any time God wants to show high greatness power, glory and faithfulness, He will allow some circumstances to happen to his people, so that when He is called upon, He can step in and be glorified, his people be blessed and be hold in awe by all men (believers and unbelievers alike).
There is no doubt in my mind that 2008 was a year of blessing, diverse miracles and breakthrough to those who were loyal, committed and love the Lord; 2009 have greater blessings and miracles in stock for you as we go with Him to 2009, your experience will be like the land of Canaan blessings compared to Gosheu in 2009 as we keep every commandment which He command us this year (Deut 11:7-15).
My heart was filled with joy when He told us that 2009, Behold He is the God of Our Salvation, and that we should trust in him and not be afraid, that He is our strength and song. That He also has become our salvation (Isa 12: 2).
The question that came to my mind was how can God emphatically said “Behold, He is my salvation and that He has become my salvation”. I realized that anytime God introduces Himself in this manner, He is out to the glorious and great things for His people to bring about their deliverance and execute judgment upon his enemies and adversaries.
In Exodus 6: 2-3, God told Moses I appeared to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob your fathers as the Almighty but now I make myself known to you by my name “YAH, YAHWEH, LORD, I AM THE LORD, THE LORD YOUR SALVATION”. In Exodus 3:7-8, YAH said I have surely seen the oppression of my people, heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for He knows their sorrows, so “I have come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians and bring them up from that land to a good and large land to a land flowing with milk and honey.
Believed me beloved as you will recognize God as your salvation this year, your breakthrough, blessings, fortune, success, and all good things will far out weight His goodness that your experience in 2008.
Jehovah Yah is out to manifest Himself powerfully on your behalf. God’s manifestation cannot be explained by word of mouth, it is better experienced (ACTION), so watch out for God´s mighty ways and actions this year like never before, for He has said I am the Holy One of Israel and I will be great in the midst of the inhabitant of Zion.
The Lord our God is the TRUE KING, HIGH and EXALTED LORD.
When the Lord becomes your salvation, the following things will begin to happen in your life in quick successions.
Ø He will bring you into a spacious environment (wide place) and enlarge the place of your tent, your scope and sphere of influence, business, ministry, career, virtues etc. (Isa 54: 2-4, Ps 18:35- 36).

Ø He will deliver you from diseases. I mean diseases and sicknesses that are capable of terminating your life prematurely as He did for King Hezekiah, (Isa 38:20)


Ø You will receive deliverance from trouble. No matter how troublesome the trouble may be on your way this year. Jehovah Yah will trouble your troubles and those who trouble you. (Jer. 30:7, Ps 34:17- 19)

Ø You will receive deliverance from your enemies and all that hated you shall be put to shame, (Ps 44:7, Ps 18: 2-3).


Ø God alone can save his people as he saved Israel from Egypt. You will be saved form your oppressors and taskmasters, from the world system and its vices, (Ps 106: 7-8). He alone is the peoples´ saviour, (Hos. 13:4). He will rescue you from all forms of danger, fear and terror of the wicked.

Ø The Lord through Christ’s attorney sacrifice will execute moral and spiritual deliverance on your behalf. He will not allow you to suffer morale and spiritual decadence in the name of Jesus. Your fellowship with the Lord through regular eating of the bread and allowing the Holy Spirit to give you power to live the new life in conformity to Christ Himself will bring Salvation to you from temptation, sin and death, (Rom 8:29).

Ø When the Lord becomes your salvation, you will enjoy God´s abundant provision in the mist of scarcity. He will cause water of living to flow to you and through you. “With Joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation” (Isa 12:3, Exo 15:25, 27).


Ø The Lord, who has become our salvation, has made adequate provision for your future saving acts. Your admission to the heavenly treasure is based on your obedience and absolute trust in the Lord´s sacrificial death, (Rev 20:15, and 21:27).
Salvation is God’s free gift to those who trust in Christ’s righteousness, (Rom 3:21). Your response to God’s provision for salvation, (Jn 1:12- 13, Jn 3:5) make you a bonfide partaker of the present reality and the future promise of salvation at Christ´s second coming (phil 3:20). Therefore position yourself now to receive of the Lord His blessings for you.

Pray these prayer points intensely
ü Praise and thank the Lord for His mercy, favour, goodness, blessing to you and your family in 2008
ü Praise and give him glory for He is ever faithful to His promises, His counsel for you in 2009 shall surely come to past
ü Lord teach me to do your perfect will and walk in your in ways in 2009
ü Return to me O’ Lord and have compassion on me
ü Satisfy me early with your mercy and cause me to rejoice and be glad all the days of his year
ü Make me prosperous much more than the days I have been afflicted and the years I have seen evil
ü Lord let you work appear to me and your glory preside on me
ü Le the beauty of the Lord be upon me and establish the work of my hands.

You are welcome to your year of glory, greatness and joy without limit.

FEAR NOT, I WILL HELP YOU


“Fear not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; yea, I will help you; yea, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
Behold, all they that were incensed against you shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with you shall perish.
You shall seek them, and shall not find them, even them that contented with you: they that war against you shall be as nothing, and as a thing not existing.
For I the LORD your GOD will hold your right hand, saying unto you, Fear not; I will help you.
Fear not, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will help you, says the LORD, and your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Behold, I will make you a new threshing instrument having teeth: you shall thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shall make the hills like chaff.
You shall fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and you shall rejoice in the LORD, and shall glory in the Holy One of Israel”
Isa 41: 10- 16 (NKV)
When you look at situation of things around you – vis-à-vis the socio- economic, geo- political and the spiritual climate in our locality, nation and the world at large, the tendency is to see a bleak, dark and hopeless year, months, weeks, and days ahead in 2009. This may be true as you see things from the mindset or human view and this could cause fear and panic to anyone whose eyes could not see beyond the physical. There is gloom, darkness over the world and gross darkness over the people but God says for those who fear and reverence His name, He the sun of righteousness will arise with healings on it wings to help you. (Mal 4:2; Isa 60: 1-3)
Child of God, servant of God, son of God, elect called and chosen of God, fear not for it is well with you; your father is the Alpha and Omega, He has promised to go with you to 2009 with His favour, power, glory, light and presence.
As He led the children of Israel out of Egypt, He is leading you to victory all rounds about in 2009. In Exo 15:6, 12; Ps 89:13, God promised to uphold you with His hand of glorious power and salvation to dash your enemies to pieces.
He has not brought you to 2009 to run the race alone. He knows the challenges, ups and downs, the obstacles, opposition, opportunities that are laden herein. So He will cause you to achieve his purpose.
The previous victory, breakthrough could provoke more opposition from the camp of your enemy, so as to stop you from reaching your goal and being established as ordained by God. Relax, no matter the opposition on your pathway, they shall all be crushed in Jesus name (Ps 136:17-22, II Sam 5: 17-20)
As one called to God´s service – He will strengthened you and keep you from stumbling. Your divine assignment will not be aborted; you will not bring disappointment to God and your organization. He will help you to achieve success and prosper.
He will protect you and your family and all that is yours (Isa 63:9-16; 64:8).
Your property shall be redeemed and restored from the hands of those who have illegitimately holding them. You shall be established in your inheritance.
You shall know freedom and safety in serving God (Isa 35:9; Isa 43:1-4)
The Lord shall avenge you against your tormentors Isa 49: 25- 26
He shall secure your posterity for the future. The Lord will faithfully reward you for your righteous suffering. You will be honoured and become re-known, (Isa 61: 8-9), Fear not, the Lord will help you.
You shall be empowered for great victory, the storm will be to your lifting, the grindstone meant to crush you will bring you opportunities and prosperity. Do not be afraid, be positive about challenges, and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into taking the right step and making the right choice in the face of trial.
When God called Joshua to lead Israel to their inheritance, the command given to him by God was ´´Be strong and of good courage, do not be afraid, nor be dismayed for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
This year the Lord will do valiantly through you.
Put your total trust in Him and it shall be well with you.
