It's Brand New Era
BE ENCOURAGED TO PRAY THIS FEBURUARY, 2008
"Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." Isa 43:19
Our personal resoluteness in the face of danger or difficulties is borne out by the realities of God's presence in recent times and, by the previous fulfilled promises. Being inspired by His unchanging word, coupled with the miracles of His faithfulness in the past, we are empowered to face danger, difficulty, uncertainty or even pain without being overcome by fear or being deflected from our chosen course of action in God. No doubt about it, there had been wilderness and desert with neither a path nor rivers. But, in the midst of these, our ever present God, the Way, the Truth and the Life, never left us alone without a lasting solution.
In this year again, through our father in the Lord, Daddy E.A. Adeboye, the Lord has said
"Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert."
We are deeply encouraged by these words and, looking at this statement more closely, God's messages to us this year are very clear and consoling. Now, as we enter into the throne of grace this month, lets' extract some of the key message in the verse (Isa.43:19) to pray ourselves through into the new level of thanksgiving new springs of life, new knowledge of God, new ways of life, new signs and wonders, and new rivers of blessings. In the passage the Lord could be quoted as saying.

Now, the forerunner of a new miracle is the appreciation of the miracles already received. There let's spend quality time this mouth to thank the Lord of miracles.
