A NEW BEGINNING

Text: Isa 43:15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. 

Isa 43:16 Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty
waters; 

Isa 43:17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they
shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow. 

Isa 43:18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. 

Isa 43:19 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. 

Tonight, is not a night of much teachings, it is a night of prophetic declarations, release

I bring you good news from the KING of kings from the GOD who knows tomorrow,
from the ULTIMATE SPIRIT who knows the beginning from the end and who knows the
end from the beginning.

He says I should tell you that having brought you to this point, He is giving you a new
beginning.

In your family/marriage – New beginning

In your career – New beginning

In your ministry – New beginning

In your business – New beginning

In your health – New beginning

Whatever is too old to testify of in your life, by the power and grace of the Living God,
it is turning into a new beginning in Jesus Name.

There are some testimonies you shared five years ago that people were jumping and
roaring in excitement. When you share such testimonies today, the same people are no
longer excited. They are like: “Tell us another one”. The testimony has become old. It
has become an old thing. In the next few hours, the GOOD LORD will cause you to
enter your season of New Beginning in Jesus Name.

Whatever is holding unto your destiny that is an old thing and would not let you go into
this new season of new beginning, I curse it to wither from the root in Jesus Name.

By now, we know and we understand that whatever God proposes and utters becomes a
reality.
There is no doubting the fact that the grace to enter into our new beginnings has been
released, but God expects us to understand some scriptural principles that will guide
our steps into profitable actions.

I have said it here times and times again, that the plans and promises of God for our
lives demands our understanding and action.

God has said it from the beginning that the least amongst us in this church shall be a
millionaire. But that God wants us to be wealthy or to be a millionaire does not mean you
will be a millionaire if you do not do exactly what God wants you to do.

2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but
is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come
to repentance.

A new walk with God

The glory of what God has prepared for us cannot be sustained by our old crooked walk
with God.

The Operating System that gave birth to our salvation can no longer sustain the new
packages that God is reeling out in the Spirit. While the Old Operating system can
support some low-ended packages, the kind of glory that God is releasing now requires
that we upgrade our spiritual operating system.

The new beginning, we are talking about is not what has been promised by the rivers
state government, or the government of the Federal republic of Nigeria. Even the
global government of this world cannot afford to give to you what God has prepared for
you and I this coming year.

That was why he personally introduced himself to us in Isaiah 43:15

Isa 43:15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

Listen to me, the happenings around you cannot stop what God has prepared for you
starting from this coming year. Covid 19 cannot stop it, change of government cannot
stop it because it is something orchestrated by God Himself.

God has promised us a new beginning, but He is demanding a new walk with Him.

Children of God, our prayerlessness, our acute ignorance of the Word of God, our
inability to give freely and lovingly, our reluctance in winning souls into the Kingdom of
God via evangelism and witnessing cannot continue in this coming year.

God expects and demands an improvement in our Christian outlook.

And if you have not given your life to Christ, God expects you do that without delay
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new. 

A barren Christian life, cannot operate in a divine new beginning. Things must change
(Tell your neighbor, things must change and the change starts with me now)

Remember not the Former things

There is no future in the past. When God is giving you a new beginning, He demands
that you forget the past.

After His introduction, He spoke and:

i. He made a way in the sea

At that time, no one had seen it before. It was mysterious and it was a big deal. It was
the talk in the mouth of many people for years.

But when God was about to pave way for a new beginning for Israel to introduce His
newest heavenly technologies and to facilitate their exploits, He instructed them in
Isaiah 43:17 to forget everything they were used to

I called forth the mighty army of Egypt

with all its chariots and horses.

I drew them beneath the waves, and they drowned,

their lives snuffed out like a smoldering candlewick.

18 “But forget all that—

it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.

19 For I am about to do something new.

See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?

I will make a pathway through the wilderness.

I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

In this new year, God will make a way for you when there is no way.

To forget the former things that God has done is not to discount and be ungrateful for
them, NO!!!
What God is saying is that from time to time, His plan is to take you to another level
and not get too comfortable with the old levels when the new one has arrived.

In Deuteronomy 1:5-8, God through Moses had to retune and shake Israel off their
supposed comfort Zone.

As at that time, Horeb used to be their big deal. They found comfort, peace and rest in
Horeb so much so that they became so complacent with Horeb that they forgot Canaan
the promised land.

God told them, you have dwelt long enough n Horeb and there is need for you to
advance forward in order to be able to lay hold of the promise.

The LORD says there is someone in this auditorium, this 2022 shall mark the end of
poverty and embarrassments in your life and in the life of your children.

For that person, what God will do for you in 2022 will dwarf everything you have ever
received from heaven in the last 10 years combined together.

Listen, the inheritance you are entering into is legitimate. He is displacing the amorites
and Canaanite of what they had to give it to you.

The riches of the gentiles are converted for you. The hidden secrets of darkness is
given to you because the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.

Isa 45:3  And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret
places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the
God of Israel. 

A new Name

Isa 62:2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou
shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. 

A new beginning a new name

Many times, your condition becomes the basis for your description.

The blind man whose name was Bartimaeus was tagged blind Bartimaeus.

The woman who had ceaseless flow of menstrual blood was tagged the woman with the
issue of blood. When you see a man who is loaded with wealth, they describe him, that
rich man. If there are two persons whose names is Paul. One is rich and one is poor, how
would you describe the poor one – My guess is that people would describe him as the
poor Paul.

So, your condition dictates your reality.

What God is saying at this time is that He will change your condition and give you a new
name.
He says the Gentiles shall see your new condition, He says the Kings (big men) shall see
your glory.

I pray for you, whatever old condition that will not allow your new name which God has
named you to be known, that condition is arrested in Jesus Name.\

Every evil condition that has named you a bad name is changing today in Jesus Name.

1Ch 4:9  And Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his mother called his
name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. 

1Ch 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me
indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou
wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which
he requested. 

Jabez was a man who was respected. The bible says he was more honorable than his
brethren, but he was just slugging it out with life. He was poor. He was hardworking,
respected but he was poor and his problem was the name his mother gave to him –
SORROW.

. Pro 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. 

The above scripture could not be fulfilled in the life of Jabez because of the
pronouncement of his mum over him.

Jabez because of his hard work would make increase, but it wont be too long before
something happens to wipe off his increase. For many years therefore, he was on the
same spot.

But one day (That day is today for someone listening to me), he called upon the God of
Israel, and his petition was simple, bless me and expand my coast. When you bless me,
protect me and riches and take away sorrow for me. And the bible said his prayers
were answered.

Even though his new name was not given, the bible says his prayer was answered. This is
how I know that his name was changed from Jabez to Jah-bless.

Today, whatever has kept on on the sport for many years and has prevented you from
making visible and verifiable progress is leaving you now in Jesus Name.
