INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Wednesday, January 8, 2025 Topic: WHAT'S NEW OR HAPPY ABOUT THE NEW YEAR? Bible Text: Psalms 77:13‭-‬15 MSG O God! Your way is holy! No god is great like God! You’re the God who makes things happen; you showed everyone what you can do— You pulled your people out of the worst kind of trouble, rescued the children of Jacob and Joseph. INSPIRATION: "Happy New Year" was the refrain on every lip seven days ago. Even those with real pain and unhappy situations chanted away, but soon retired into their closets to mourn their misfortune. Yes, misfortune, because nothing close to being happy or new has been their experiences lately, when compared to their peers and associates who all have testimonies, goodnews and celebrations happening to them. You may have asked yourself the "Why me?" question many times to no avail; you may have thought God is against you or you're under a spell. You may even have confessed unknown sins that doesn't exit, but nothing seem to have changed. Whilst you chanted the happy new year refrain with others, a voices kept reminding you of your pain and failed efforts, pointing you to your many mishaps and asking you if you really do have a new or happy year. And you seem to have agreed with that strange suggestive voice that nothing is happening to make the year new or happy for you. All that is about to change right now because God is about to showcase you to your world: "O God! Your way is holy! No god is great like God! You’re the God who makes things happen; you showed everyone what you can do— You pulled your people out of the worst kind of trouble, rescued the children of Jacob and Joseph" (Psalms 77:13‭-‬15 MSG). God is about to make things happen; to show everyone what He can do; to pull you out of the worst kind of trouble. Hallelujah! Yes! You heard that right. God WAN USE YOU DO YANGA. The shakara go shock you and everyone wey go hear your story. So, congratulations already! Your happy new year is in order!!
