Genesis 1:27 NKJV says :
“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:7

As 1 Peter 2:9-12 KJV says:
” But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: [10] which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. [11] Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; [12] having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

My 🙏🏽Prayer…
Dear Heavenly Father, Like Adam and Eve I realize that I too get to make the decision to live together with You in divine unity. Today, help me to make the right choices so that I can continue to thrive in this beautiful garden called life. I will celebrate the fact that You have created the perfect life partner for me that will allow me to enjoy Your many blessings and to experience the love and joy that comes with companionship. I declare that life flows through me because You breathed Your breath into my body, I declare that I can live in vulnerability and transparency because in Your presence is no shame or guilt. Thank You for forming me and sculpting me out of the dust of the earth.

Thank You that You loved me so much that You sent Your only begotten Son to be the propitiation for my sins. Thank You that when I trusted in Jesus for salvation, I received abundant, eternal life, the life of Christ Jesus my Lord within so that in Him I may live, and move, and have my being.

When life gets a little dirty and even messy at times I will calm my soul because through today’s reading, in Genesis 2:5-24, I see You create amazing things out of dirt. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

” For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.  For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,  and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.  Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ’s, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ’s, even so we are Christ’s.  For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed—”(2 Corinthians 10: 3-8 NKJV).

” Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]– To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it).” [Jude 1: 24-25 AMPC].

“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.  Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall,  But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” ( Isaiah 40:28-31 NKJV).

” Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we DO NOT LOSE HEART.  But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.  But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,  whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.  For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;  persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.  So then death is working in us, but life in you.  And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. 

For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God. Therefore we DO NOT LOSE HEART. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.  For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,  while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” ( 2 Corinthians 4: 1-18 NKJV).

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we DO NOT  LOSE HEART. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.”( Galatians 6: 7-10 NKJV).

“Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].

” But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, And did not destroy them. Yes, many a time He turned His anger away, And did not stir up all His wrath;..” (Psalms 78:38 NKJV).

” Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.  They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.  “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.  It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the Lord.” (Lamentations : 22-26 NKJV).

Let’s Pray 🙏🏽 . HEAVENLY FATHER, Our Divine Creator, protecter, supplier of all our needs, and Guide,
As the clock turns and the year draws to a close, I come before You with a heart full of many things. I pause in the quiet of this transition to breathe and acknowledge Your presence.

​For the Year That Was:
I thank You for the moments of joy that surprised me, the strength that sustained me through the shadows, and the lessons learned in the quiet spaces. I release the regrets, the missed opportunities, and the burdens of the past twelve months. I leave them in Your hands, knowing that Your grace is sufficient for every end and every beginning.

For the Year To Come:
I step into this new year not with a spirit of fear, but with a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. Clear my vision so that I may see the opportunities to be a light to others. Grant me the courage to pursue growth, the patience to endure challenges, and the wisdom to choose kindness over convenience.
For My Community and World:
I pray for peace in our homes and across the globe. May this be a year of healing—healing of bodies, healing of relationships, and healing of the spirit. Help us to walk with more empathy and to act with more integrity.
Lord, remind me daily that Your mercies are new every morning. May I live this year one day at a time, anchored in Your faithfulness and expectant of Your goodness. IN THE ALMIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. AMEN ❤️ 🙏

” Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” [ Jude 1:24-25 KJV].

Here are a few things that God says:

” Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:  and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:  and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” ( Matthew 7: 21-27 KJV).

” I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:  so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.  Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;  or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;  not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.  Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.  If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”(Romans 12: 1-21 KJV).

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.” [ Jude 1: 24-25 KJV].

WHAT’S YOUR PLANS FOR THE NEW YEAR 🤔. Are you consulting with God first. Here is what God says:

“A man’s heart deviseth his way: But the LORD directeth his steps.”(Proverbs 16:9 KJV).

“There are many devices in a man’s heart; Nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.” (Proverbs 19:21 KJV).

Why is it good to consult God first? Because, says in Isaiah 55:8-9 NKJV :
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.  “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”

However, in Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV God says:
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. “

Then ,Proverbs 3:5-7 NKJV tells us to:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil.

“whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.  Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”  But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”(James 4:14-17 NKJV).

DON’T GO INTO THE NEW YEAR,WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING GOD FIRST.

Isaiah 43:18-19
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

Philippians 3:13-14 KJV
“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, [14] I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

LET’S PRAY 🙏🏽 …
HEAVENLY FATHER, GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Today is,the final Sunday morning of the year.
As we stand in this “in-between” space, reflecting on the 365 days of 2025 and looking toward the unknown of 2026, it is a time for both deep gratitude and sacred surrender.

On this final Sunday  of 2025, we come before You with hearts full of reflection. We pause in the stillness of this winter morning to acknowledge that every breath we have drawn this year has been a gift from Your hand.
Lord, we thank You for the victories we celebrated in 2025—the moments of unexpected joy, the prayers answered, and the grace that carried us through the seasons. We also bring to You the sorrows of this past year—the losses we endured, the doors that closed, and the “dry places” where we felt weary. We thank You that even in the wilderness, You were our Waymaker.
As the calendar turns, help us to release the weights we were never meant to carry. We lay down the regrets, the “what-ifs,” and the mistakes of 2025 at the foot of the cross. Wash us clean with Your mercy, which is new every single morning.
We pray for the year ahead. In a world that often feels uncertain, we anchor our hope in Your unchanging character. As we prepare to enter 2026, give us “eyes to perceive” the new things You are already doing. May Your Spirit guide our steps, protect our families, and use our lives to bring light to those still walking in darkness.
Thank You for being the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. We entrust our past, our present, and our future into Your faithful hands.
IN THE ALMIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, WE PRAY,AMEN.

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,  to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”[Jude : 24-25 KJV].

Love is always Holy, Righteous and True.
1 John 4:20 says :
If a man says, I LOVE God, and that man HATES his brother, he is a LIAR: for he that LOVES NOT his brother whom he has seen, how can he LOVE God whom he has NOT seen?
-Why MUST we LOVE one another? Because God COMMANDED us to do so.

John 13:34 says it like this:
A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, that you love one another; as I have loved you…
-Loving one another is not an option. It’s a COMMANDMENT of God!
-No one has to pre-qualify in order to get the Love of God from us. As Children of God Love is who we are and Love is what we do.
-In the ACT of LOVE God reveals Himself to the giver and to the recipient.
-When God reveals Himself in the ACT of LOVE, things will always change for the better because God is Love and Love never fails.

Finally,Matthew 5:43-48 KJV says :
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. [44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; [45] that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. [46] For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? [47] And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? [48] Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”

John 14:21 KJV
[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Jude 1:24-25 KJV
[24] Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, [25] to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

A Very Merry Christmas to you all,
and A Blessed and Prosperous
New Year!
John 3:16 reminds us about Christmas by telling us:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
However, Romans 6:23 says:
…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 Corinthians 9:15 says:
Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
-Remember to celebrate Christmas with the Love of our Heavenly Father, the Gift of His Son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and Giving with His Grace. Do all for the glory of God.
-May your celebration of Christmas brings the very Presence of God to you and yours.
-May you experience His Love, Joy, Peace and prosperity throughout the coming New Year.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory.
Amen!

” Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?”  So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.” (Job 1:8-10 NKJV).

“Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.  But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.  My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.”(John 10:25-29 NKJV).

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,  just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,  having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,  to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

  In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace  which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,  having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,  that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.

In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,  that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.  In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,  who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.” (Ephesians 1:3-14 NKJV).

” Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”( 2 Timothy 2:19 NKJV).

” Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea,  saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”  And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:  of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;  of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;  of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;  of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed.” ( Revelation 7:2-8 NKJV).

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [Jude 1:24-25 NKJV].

” You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.  “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.”( Deuteronomy 6: 5-6 NKJV).

” And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him. “(2 Kings 23:25 KJV)

” For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”( Jeremiah 29: 11-13 KJV).

” Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: Fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, And marrow to thy bones.”(Proverbs 3:5-8 KJV).

” Master, which is the great commandment in the law?  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 22:36-40 KJV).

” Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;  bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.  But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”( Colossians 3:12-17 NKJV).

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”(Romans 12:1-2 NKJV).

” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,  To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.”[ Jude 1: 24-25 NKJV].
