Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

As we approach the New Year, I sense in my heart that some of us are afraid of how we will fulfill purpose and pursue the vision that God is sharing with us.

Friend, do not worry you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. If He can trust us with the vision, He will help us to achieve it. If I can answer God’s call to serve, you can. Who would have thought that I would have something to write for the past 15 years? Christ has been my helper and His Spirit has not failed to reveal His word to me.

If the generations before us heard God’s voice and obeyed Him, we will not fail Him. Most times, we fear because we do not know the power that Jesus possesses. When we have a revelation of how powerful He is and what His strength in us can do, our fears will disappear.

God has great plans for you. Do not allow fear to deny you of what God wants to do in, through and with you. Believe that you can do all things through Him and you will.

Remember His word: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10). Shalom.
