“Now thanks be unto God, Who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place.” -2Corinthians 2:14.
The entire members of this great commission, the workers, ministers and the entire VictoryLand family all over the world, Our online and offline friends, I welcome you all to this New Year (2025) in Jesus’ Name.
Taking a quick reflection on all we passed through in the year 2024, the challenges and the uncertainties all over the world and how we survived the entire turbulence, it is glaring that the Almighty God has been gracious to us in no small measure. We were not consumed in that fire, neither were we drowned in the deadly water of life. You and I are witnesses to the bountiful blessings of God in the midst of all those challenges. We have every course to give glory to Him for our victory that knows no bounds. Praise ye the LORD! Alleluiyah! –Isaiah 43:1-2, 1Corinthians 15:57.
For the year 2024, testimonies abound in every area of our lives, of the manifold blessings and divine intervention every step of the way. What shall we say, then? –“O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever” –Psalm 136:1. Our heavenly Father is always faithful; we are indeed very grateful to Him.
2025: OUR YEAR OF JUSTIFICATION. (Romans 5:1-2)
By the direction of the Holy Spirit, 2025 is OUR YEAR OF JUSTIFICATION
What is Justification?
Justification is that gracious and judicial act of God whereby a soul is granted complete absolution from all guilts and is released fully from the penalty of sin. This act of divine grace is wrought by faith in the merits of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (Romans 3:21-26, Romans 5:1). God moves a willing person from the state of sin to the state of grace and righteousness.
By implication, His love for us compels Him to exercise His mercy and pardon over our sins and help our weaknesses by His Spirit. He guides, guards, and supports us all the way. If God is to mark iniquity, none can stand; He does not reward us based on our self-righteousness but according to His mercy does He justify us. –Psalm 130:1-4, 5-8, Titus 3:5-7. However, He does not want us to take His mercy for granted but that we should value it dearly in our relationship with Him and in all our endeavours. God’s earnest desire is that we live worthy of this grace, not in the former, worldly lust but in newness of life to the glory of His holiness and majesty. -Rom 6:1-2, 14, 1Corinthians 10:31, 2Corinthians 5:17.
As always, God has given us Prophetic Words from the throne of Grace. Summarily, they are Sure Promises that cannot be compromised. It is JUSTIFICATION in His supremacy. Where we may not have been counted worthy, God will justify us and count us worthy. Where we have missed the riches of His grace, assuredly, God will restore us. Great opportunities that have been lost shall be recovered miraculously. Where the right people have been disconnected from us, there shall be supernatural reconnection and restoration. Everyone that has been condemned by the world around them shall be justified and rise unto glory. Those that have been relegated shall be elevated. –Isaiah 60:13-16. In all ramifications, the LORD shall perfect all that concerns us for our lifting up and for His glory. My earnest prayer is that, the Holy Spirit guides us in the paths of God’s will and none of us shall miss out of His great promises this year, starting from this month, in Jesus’ name {Amen}.
Happy New Year 2025! It is a Testimony-filled year for us. You are justified for all that pertain to life and godliness; it shall be from glory to glory.
Remember, with Jesus Christ (leading our journey), Our Victory is Sure!
Shalom!
Apostle Alonge M.A.
