2025-The Year of Turnaround

Pastor Daniel's New Year Sermon.

Topic: 2025-The Year of Turnaround.

This year is a year of turn around, if you have a business and the business was about failing and eventually the business recovers everything you lost you can hereby say is a turn around. Many of us are stagnated and have been facing what we call situation of inconsistency, many of us are facing what we call downward turn either in your business, in your family, marriage, job, spiritual growth. You know in the church there are many people that are been competitive when it comes to the thing of God there are people who knows the scriptures but are living like the Pharisees and the Sadducees and they also know the law.

The law is the first five books of Moses, the law deals with covenant that God enters into with man and the covenant was broken because they were not able to make it. this set of people does not believe that man is rated above Sabbath, they say Sabbath is above man, man has to work with Sabbath because sabbath does not have to be rigid it has to be flexible that is why when Jesus healed people on the day of the Sabbath the Pharisees also called the law makers where accusing Jesus for performing miracles on the Sabbath day. Matt 2:27.

The Bible says in the book of Matt 2:27 that the Pharisees where always going up and down looking for people that goes against the law and punish them. For instance Peter was thrown in jail many times because of the Pharisees. Observation of Sabbath does not guarantee if you will enter Gods kingdom or not. Not everyone has the ability to keep the law because we commit sin daily, not every man is perfect like God. He made convenient and laws for the Israelites number of times but they kept breaking the laws, because of this God gave his only begotten son to us so we can repent and when believing in Him we would not perish but have life Eternal. Jerimiah 31:31-34. If we are to follow the law everyone will be killed (Col 2:16). The act of keeping the law without making God our Lord and Savior is the practice of tradition and not Faith. The law of Sabbath has already been fulfilled by Jesus Christ on the cross, if we were to follow the law we would have committed one sin or the other and be held guilty and responsible for the evil act we have committed. No matter the level you are as a Christian you must have committed sin in the past before you were brought to the light also known as Christ, people always make themselves holy by saying they have not committed sin before but there mind is not clean and pure because of the ungodly thought that fill their mind. Psalm 119:105, John 14:26, Habakkuk 2:2.

The new law is the law of Jesus and that law states that thou shall love your Lord thy God with all your heart, with all your mind and with all your soul. He also stated that thou shall love thy neighbor as thy self which covers all the ten commandments that was given by Moses in the old testament. If you love someone you will not take his wife or think evil for him. If you love the Lord with all your heart you will serve God and not another god because our God is a jealous God so if you serve another God it means you do not love God because if you love Him you will keep his commandments.

Arch-Bishop Benson Idahosa said the secret of success is breaking the chain of course in your life and this can happen by obeying the commandments of Jesus and accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and believe that he is the owner of your life and you must work by faith and note that we are in darkness and He is the light of the world. We need to shine and drive away darkness from our lives and the lives of others by doing evangelism and when you follow the light you will not miss your way.

John 14:26 which shows to us that the Holy Spirit is a teacher and a comforter. You receive the Holy Spirit only when you accept Him as your Lord and Savior. Without the Holy Spirit you are nothing because He teaches you things that you do not know and makes you His abode and reveals to you hidden things that are not exposed and that has been stopping you from progressing all the while. Habakkuk 2:2. The Bible is a word from God which you should meditate on day and night.

This year have been declared as the year of TURNING AROUND. As a child you should follow the footsteps of your parents and the parents should lay good example for the children to follow and teach them the word of God. And children should always be aiming to be better than their parents in life. I remember when I was a little boy my father and I do work in his farm. I use to go to school but he was always questioning me for going to school. One blessed day, I left the farm to do common entrance which made my Dad convinced that I must go to school even though I was from a poor background. When you give birth to a child always make enquirers of the future of the child because every child is a perfect gift from God. My father told me and said Daniel you will be my first child to travel to America but when he said it he did not have any idea of how America is. He did not even know the road to abroad then. There was no automobile in our area let alone aircraft and he died in the year 1980, 44 years ago.

When we talk about turning around God has created children to be a vessel of turn around for their parents. So if your parents did not buy a house, get a car or travel abroad. You should be able to do so because you have Christ in you and you are a vessel of turn around. The previous year you made $300,000, this year you are supposed to make $5million because it is to be a Turnaround for you. Take for instance, Hezekiah did not have a sense of orderliness until God took over his life, some people don't like you visiting them because they don't have a house that is in order. If you want a turn around you should put your house in order. 2 kings 20:1. You should also be a giver and number one in doing the things of God. Also abstain from sin. A woman that had accident and lost five kids. She survived with a lot of burns on her body, so I prayed for her and God took me to the book of James 2 from 15 downwards. It was talking about love and giving to people that are in need so I obeyed the Bible by giving her what she needed financially and I did that because of the love I have for God. After that day the bombardment of miracles started coming my way. God sends His angel to bless those who blesses His people that are in need. This year your ear will be open, your eyes will be open for Gods blessings. He says, Your word is lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.

MAY YOU WORK IN THE WAY OF THE RIGHTEOUS SO YOU WON'T BE FOUND WANTING ON THE LAST DAY BECAUSE RAPTURE IS COMING.

MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU, AMEN.
