It’s my desire and delight to declare God’s blessings upon your life at the beginning of the NEW YEAR of 2024! May you be richly and repeatedly blessed by YAHWEH TSIDKENU (THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS)! May the LORD your God make you a believer who is mighty in the Scriptures (Acts 18:24b) in this NEW YEAR! May the LORD bless with you with a humble and teachable spirit so as to be instructed in the way of the Lord more accurately (Acts 18:25-26)! May the LORD use you to greatly help other believers through grace, as a result of being instructed more accurately in His way (Acts 18:26-27)! May the LORD grant you His wisdom to ask the right question at the right time of those God gives you the opportunity to meet in order to minister effectively to them (Acts 19:1-7)! May the LORD grant you the privileged blessing of performing extraordinary miracles by your hands in the context of sharing His good news (Acts 19:11-12)! May the LORD be pleased to use you in the growth of the word of the Lord mightily (Acts 19:20) in such a time as this! May the Spirit of God direct you in the path and purpose of God for your life in the NEW YEAR (Acts 19:21)! May the Spirit of the Lord empower you to press on in His service of exhorting other believers despite trials and tribulations in your life (Acts 20:1)! May the LORD, in His grace and goodness, deliver you from the plots formed against you by your enemies (Acts 20:3)! May you like Paul, be blessed with the testimony of serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials (Acts 20:19)! May the Spirit of God strengthen you to declare to those God gives you the blessed privilege of serving what’s profitable (Acts 20:20)! May the Holy Spirit testify to your spirit what awaits you on the path God has chosen for you (Acts 20:22-23)! May the Spirit of the Lord grant you His divine strength and help to finish your course and the ministry which you received from the Lord Jesus (Acts 20:24)! May the Spirit of God enable you to declare the whole counsel of God to those He’s given you the privilege of serving and shepherding (Acts 20:27)! “And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified” (Acts 20:32)! Yes, may the LORD who abounds in riches (Romans 10:12), richly and repeatedly bless you in this NEW YEAR to be a blessing in your church, community, city, country and continent! Amen and Amen!
