It is my delight and desire to declare God’s blessings upon your life in the new month of January 2025. Just as it is good in the eyes of the Lord to bless Israel (see Numbers 24:1), so also it is good in the eyes of YAHWEH TSIDKENU (THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS) to bless you, the believer in Jesus Christ. May you be greatly and generously blessed by YAHWEH TSIDKENU in January 2025! May the Lord grant that you will sow bountifully with confident assurance that you will also reap bountifully (2 Corinthians 9:6)! May the Holy Spirit, make you a cheerful giver in this New Year, “for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 2:7b; NASB)! May the Lord your God “make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything you may have an abundance for every good deed” (2 Corinthians 9:8; NASB)! May the Lord grant that in your giving in this New Year, you will, with a glad heart; scatter abroad and give to the poor in order to reap enduring righteousness (2 Corinthians 9:9)! May the Lord God, “who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness” (2 Corinthians 9:10; NASB). May you “be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God” (2 Corinthians 9:11; NASB)! May the Lord grant that your ministry of giving, not only fully supply the needs of the saints, but also overflow through many thanksgivings to God (2 Corinthians 9:12)! May the Holy Spirit grant that the proof of your ministry of giving will result in others glorifying “God for your obedience to your confession of the gospel of Christ and for the liberality of your contribution to them and to all” (2 Corinthians 9:13; NASB)! May those who are blessed by your bountiful giving, pray on your behalf, and “yearn for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you” (2 Corinthians 9:14; NASB)! “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift” (2 Corinthians 9:15; NASB) – the Gift above all gifts! Yes, may you be greatly and generously blessed by YAHWEH TSIDKENU (THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS) in the month of January 2025 and beyond!
