2011: Our year of greater achievements

a.chieve.ment [uh-cheev-muhnt]: Something accomplished esp. by superior ability, special effort, great courage...a great heroic deed (Dictionary.com)


In KICC, this is the prophecy for this year that 2011 is our year of greater achievement. Personally I call this my dear of double (2+0; 1+1)..double honour, double breakthrough, double responsibility, double achievement, double strength, double abilities. 'Everything na double double'. Declaring what a year will be before it ends requires faith, strength, determination and hard work.


We call 'those things that be not as though they are' like our God who 'declares the end of a thing from the beginning'...Stephen Covey says it well when he says 'beginning with the end in mind'. This is a season where we are inundated with adverts about resolutions...losing weight, giving up smoking, holidays..they all key into you looking at where/who/what you want to be sometime later this year. We all must achieve something this year but it's not just going to happen, we have to actively participate in life. Like John Legend sang 'wake up everybody, no more sleeping in bed'.


At the Watchnight service, Pastor Matthew shared some steps to ensure 2011 would be our best year yet. Definitely worth meditating on.

• Decide to search aggressively for the voice of the Holy Spirit.
• Decide to build a process and reputation in problem solving
• Decide to enter every atmosphere as a learner
• Decide to examine every relationship in your life to discern who is making divine deposits
• Decide to fix specific goals that unlock your dream and energy...I add...decide to write them down
• Decide to sow favour lavishly
• Decide to fully embrace moments to express giant steps (life will bring you those opportunities...don't be afraid Go with God)

A very Happy New Year to you all. I pray that indeed it will be a new beginning for those like me who need one. That it will be a year of furthering your destiny in the right direction. That we walk the path God intended, we be not afraid, we go with God. This is going to be our best year yet.

Keep believing,

A season of prayer; Day 10

A prayer for a new thing

Eternal rock of ages, thank you for breath. I have breath so I will praise your name. Today, I am ever thankful for the relationship that I have with you. You pursued me relentlessly, i didn't have a choice but to return the love that you have shown to me. I wasn't worthy of your love, I didn't deserve it but you loved me anyway. You are the One who has never missed a date, never been late for an appointment, loved me through weight loss and weight gain. Loved me through the valleys and the mountains. Thank you for your unfailing love. O Lord, I bless your name.

Father, your word says that I should forget the former things and not dwell on the past. Father, you know that the past has pain, the past has lack, the past is full of hurts and things I truly want to forget but Lord in my quiet moments I find myself going back and rehearsing the past and it seems I'm back at square zero. Lord give me the strength to let go of it all. Like Paul, I want to forget those things that are behind and strain towards what is ahead of me in my destiny. I want to press towards the goal to win the prize for which you have called me. I know the thoughts you have towards me are thoughts of good and not of evil to give me a future and a hope. A future and a hope...a beautiful future, a future and a hope. Father, I hope in your word.

Daddy, there are no impossibilities in you. With man, some things are impossible but with you all things are possible. O Lord, I believe you for a new thing in my family, in my future, in my finances, in my education, in my body, in my relationships, in my career, in my ministry, in my destiny. What people have called impossible, show that it is possible in Jesus name. Create ways in the wilderness and streams in the desert. Father where people see famine, show me prosperity. Isaac obeyed you and sowed in the land and he reaped a hundred fold. Thank you Lord, I step into a new day with you. In the name that guarantees an answer, the name of Jesus. Amen

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland Isaiah 43:18-19
