“And Samuel said unto the people, It is the Lord that ADVANCED Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.” – 1 Samuel 12:6 King James Version.
LOOKING BACK WITH GRATITUDE
The year 2024 was anything but trouble-free. It brought challenges, trials, and tests that shook us to the core. Yet, through every storm, we experienced breakthroughs, victories, and testimonies of God’s goodness. Standing here today is nothing short of a miracle— having obtained the help of God, we continue to this day. [Acts 26:22].
In 2 Corinthians 1:8-10 God`s Word Translation, Paul the apostle through divine inspiration wrote, “Brothers and sisters, we don’t want you to be ignorant about the suffering we experienced in the province of Asia. It was so extreme that it was beyond our ability to endure. We even wondered if we could go on living. We still feel as if we’re under a death sentence. But we suffered so that we would stop trusting ourselves and learn to trust God, who brings the dead back to life. He has rescued us from a terrible death, and He will rescue us in the future. We are confident that He will continue to rescue us.”
All praise to our Heavenly Father, who saw us through it all—beyond our human limits and abilities—because we trusted in Him. We remain confident that He will keep rescuing us this new year.
By divine inspiration, 2025 is the year of HIGHER GROUNDS via SUPERNATURAL ADVANCEMENT! God, by His mighty hand, will elevate His people across all nine streams of influence—Government, Sports, Business, Family, Religion, Arts & Entertainment, Media, Education, and Healthcare—so that we become instruments in His hand. Our advancement is not for personal gain or comfort; it is for KINGDOM ADVANCEMENT—to advance God’s Everlasting Kingdom and His purposes on earth.
RISE TO THE OCCASION: OUR FINEST HOUR!
British statesman and former Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, once said:
“To every man there comes in his lifetime that special moment when he is figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered a chance to do a very special thing, unique to him and fitted to his talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds him unprepared or unqualified for that which would be his finest hour.”
The year 2025 is our FINEST HOUR! We must not squander this moment by neglecting the preparation needed for the “tap on the shoulder.” This is the special moment God has orchestrated since the foundation of the world for our advancement to higher grounds—an advancement that will draw others to know the Lord.
EMBRACE THE NEW THING
“Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.” —Isaiah 43:18-19 (NKJV).
In this new season, let go of the past—both the failures and even the triumphs. God is doing something fresh, unexpected, and transformative. He is paving roads in the wilderness and causing rivers to flow in desert places. What an incredible promise for us to hold on to as we step onto higher grounds!
PREPARE FOR LIFT-OFF
Throughout this month, by the grace of God and the help of the Holy Spirit, we will explore the mind of God regarding His agenda for us in this great year. Stay expectant, remain prayerful, and position yourself to soar on HIGHER GROUNDS via SUPERNATURAL ADVANCEMENT. May the Lord continue to guide us, strengthen us, and open doors of advancement that will showcase His glory on earth. Get ready—this is our moment to shine for His Kingdom!
