For God’s people, 2025 is not just another year—it is a year of greater opportunities to walk boldly in His promises, trust Him for the impossible, and participate in the expansion of His kingdom on earth.
This one thing I am confident of: God’s plans for His people are good, and His promises are sure. While the world may be uncertain, turbulent, or filled with challenges, God’s Word assures us that those who trust in Him will find strength, peace, and purpose.
Let us discover what this new year holds for God’s people, who are grounded in His eternal truth.
1. A Year of God’s Great Favor
God’s people can expect to be marked by His favor—a favor that is not conditional or temporary but rooted in His eternal love. It is not earned, but freely given, and it empowers us to live in His grace and blessings. His favor opens doors, brings peace in the midst of challenges, and provides the strength needed to fulfil His purpose in our lives. As His children, we can walk in the assurance that, His favor is always with us, guiding us, protecting us, and leading us toward His good plans. With God’s favor, we are never alone—He is with us every step of the way.
2. A Year of Greater Victory and Strength
God’s people will always face challenges, but the Spirit of God within us is GREATER than any obstacle or opposition the world can present. The same power that raised Christ from the dead, dwells within His people, enabling us to overcome fear, temptation, and discouragement.
With God, we can achieve victory over fear, doubt, and temptation, knowing that He is the source of our strength. As we rely on Him, we walk in the assurance that no weapon formed against us will prosper, and that through His power, we are more than conquerors.
3. A Year of Provision and Guidance
God will provide all we need. Whether we face seasons of abundance or scarcity, His care for us is unwavering. He will guide us to places of rest, refreshment, and restoration, equipping us to fulfil His purposes. God will faithfully supply all our needs and lead us every step of the way.
God’s provision goes beyond material needs. When we seek Him in prayer and trust in His Word, we will find the wisdom to navigate our decisions for the future, ensuring we lack nothing.
4. A Year of Great Hope, Joy, and Peace
Hope is the confident expectation that God is at work, even when we cannot see the full picture. It is not just wishful thinking, but a deep assurance in His promises and faithfulness.
In times of uncertainty, hope anchors our souls, reminding us that God’s plans for us are good and His timing is perfect. With hope, we find strength to persevere, PEACE in the midst of trials, and JOY as we trust in His ultimate provision. No matter the circumstances, hope keeps our eyes fixed on the future God has for us.
5. A Year of Being the Light to the World
As believers, we are called to be the light in a world often filled with darkness. Jesus, the true Light, shines in us, and we are His reflection to those around us. We are carriers of His light—through our words, actions, and love. Being the light means, living with love, compassion, and truth, offering hope to those who are lost or struggling. This is a time to share the hope of the gospel, to serve those in need, and to reflect His glory in all we do.
In a world that needs healing, our light can guide others, whether in our workplaces, families, or communities, to the Saviour, making a lasting impact for His kingdom.
I pray that 2025 be a year where you grow closer to the Lord, live out His Word, and trust in His plans.
With God as our foundation, there is nothing we cannot overcome or accomplish for His glory.
God is within you, you will not fail!
Happy New Year, and may 2025 be filled with God’s greatness, His abundant favor, and strength over you and your loved ones!
