James 3:11 (KJV)

Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

Many Christians are busy making last-minute preparations for the beginning of a new year. Goals are listed, and ‘fingers crossed’ to hopefully fulfil what they set out to achieve next year. Let me give you this. If you want to be continually successful, living the ever-victorious life you’ve been called to live, you have to be focused and consistent. There is no ‘finger crossing’ that will help you. You can’t talk strength, courage, victory, prosperity, health and wholeness, and at the same time speak weakness, fear, failure, poverty and sickness.

If you say life has its ‘ups and downs,’ all you’re saying is that your life will always be inconsistent, unpredictable, and uncertain. That’s not for Christians; we go upward and forward only.

Set your focus on the new year and go for the goal. The God of glory, who’s at work in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure, will see to it that you’re a success in every arena this coming year. Just be consistent!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I am focused on my perfect life in the coming year. I shall not entertain sweet and bitter things at the same time. All things are sweet, and that’s it, in Jesus’ Name! Amen.
