YOU MADE IT!
"Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth." - (Psalm 124:6)
READ: Psalm 124:1-8
If you are reading today's devotional, God has been really good to you! He has taken you through 364 days in 2025, and you will see the end of today as well in joy, in Jesus' name. Storms arose during the year, and fierce winds blew, but God kept you safe. He preserved your life despite the enemy's attempts to destroy you. I want you to take some minutes to truly praise the Lord.
If 2025 has been a really good year for you, I want to tell you that there are better days ahead. God is about to give you a new book with 365 blank pages! His thoughts towards you are always good (Jeremiah 29:11), and He has gone ahead of you to make 2026 a blessed year for you. Did you experience some unpleasant events this year? Cheer up; God is making all things new. My Daddy will restore anything that you might have lost (Joel 2:25), and He will give you a fresh start in 2026, in Jesus' name.
Beloved, as you transition into 2026, I want you to do the following:
1. Reflect deeply on all God has done for you, and thank Him abundantly. It is because of Him that you are still standing.
2. Forget everything that has happened to you in the past. You cannot move forward if your gaze is fixed on what is behind you. If you had numerous achievements in 2025, you need to keep pressing forward like Paul because there is so much more to achieve (Philippians 3:13-14). On the other hand, if you experienced many failures, stop counting your losses. Look unto Jesus; He will surely give you good success in 2026 (Psalm 121:1-2).
3. Abstain from every appearance of evil (1 Thessalonians 5:22). You cannot triumph over the roadblocks and traps the enemy has set for you if you allow sin into your life. Sin will keep you from progressing into God's great plans for you in 2026. Do not allow the devil to cheat you of God's best for you in the coming year.
4. Fix your gaze on Jesus; you need Him now more than ever. Allow Him to hold your hands, obey His instructions completely, and it will be well with You. Only those who are willing to follow Him wholeheartedly and are obedient to all His instructions shall eat the good of 2026 (Isaiah 1:19).
God has wonderful things in store for you in the next 365 days. In the name that is above all other names, I pray that you will not miss God's best for you in 2026. Your life will not be cut short, and your eyes will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living, in Jesus' name.
ACTION POINT:
Spend some time reflecting on God's goodness in 2025, and thank Him wholeheartedly throughout today.

FATHER OF MERCIES
"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;" - (2 Corinthians 1:3)
READ: Psalm 25:1-6
Today's memory verse tells us that God is the Father of mercies. This means that He is not only merciful but the source of mercy. God is rich in mercy (Ephesians 2:4), and His mercy is renewed every day (Lamentations 3:22-23), implying that His mercy is unlimited. God's mercy can transform every aspect of a believer's life that needs transformation. For instance, if a believer has health challenges or financial problems, God's mercy can conveniently turn the believer's situation around. His mercy is not one-sided; it is multi-dimensional and perfect. When the Father of mercies shows up in a fellow's life, He can restore any opportunities that he or she might have lost and make everything new for such a fellow.
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. - (Romans 9:15-16)
We can see that even though God's mercies are unlimited, they are not accessible to everyone because God Himself decides the people He shows His mercy. Before God can dispense His unlimited mercies on a fellow, the fellow needs to acknowledge Him as his or her Father. As the Father of mercies, He only releases His unlimited mercies to His children. While it is true that He causes the sun to shine on everyone, both good and bad (Matthew 5:45), there are certain levels of His mercies that He has reserved only for His children. If you are truly God's child, your relationship with Him will give you access to His everlasting mercies.
Only God's children have access to the full complement of His mercies; those who are not His children can only enjoy crumbs. God's mercy is rich and multi-dimensional; however, a fellow must become His child to enjoy them. To unbelievers, He is a consuming fire, but to His children, He is compassionate and slow to anger (Psalm 145:8).
Beloved, if you are not yet born again, do not waste another minute outside the tender arms of the Father of mercies. He alone can give you a rich and fulfilling life on earth and guarantee your place in His kingdom for all eternity. If you are already His child, live in obedience to His will, and He will shower you with His abundant mercies.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please help me to experience Your tender and manifold mercies in every area of my life.

HE FORGIVES ALL
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." - (1 John 1:9)
READ: Psalm 103:8-13
Years ago, a devout Muslim heard the gospel during one of our programmes and became born again. He was overwhelmed with joy, and we rejoiced with him. Three days later, he came to me and asked, "Are you sure Jesus can forgive all sins?" I said, "Yes". He said, "You have not heard all that I have done. The evil I have done is so much, and I don't think He can forgive everything." I asked him, "Have you given your life to Him?" He said, "Yes". I responded, "Please, go home rejoicing; Jesus has forgiven all." After another three days, he returned and said, "You have not heard everything I did." Then, he proceeded to recount various sins that he had committed. I told him that once people give their lives to Christ, God gives them brand-new beginnings. He kept coming back to me with doubts about specific sins that he thought were too big for Jesus to forgive until one day, he said, "If Jesus can forgive this sin that I'm about to tell you, then I won't worry anymore. I needed a man's heart to make a charm. A young relative died, and I went to his grave at night, exhumed his body, and cut out his heart for the charm. Do you think Jesus can forgive that?" I opened my Bible and showed him (1 John 1:7), which reads, "...and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." I then asked him, "What is the meaning of all?" After a while, he replied, "I think all means all." I said, "That is correct. It doesn't matter how many sins you have committed up until now. The moment you give your life to Jesus, God forgives you of them all. No sin is too big for God to forgive."
David knew the limitless extent of God's forgiveness, and he wrote in Psalm 103:12 that God removes our transgressions from us as far as the East is from the West. Whenever David asked God to forgive him and cleanse him of his sins, God always did so. All God wants from you whenever you fall into sin is your sincere repentance.
Beloved, when you truly repent of your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive you (1 John 1:9). True repentance is when a fellow stops engaging in sinful acts after God forgives him or her. God's mercy is truly without limits; however, His forgiving nature should birth a changed heart in you.
KEY POINT:
The blood of Jesus cleanses from all sins.

LET GOD MAKE YOU 2
"And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." - (Matthew 4:19)
READ: Isaiah 51:1-2
Yesterday, I discussed the story of the prodigal son and how he returned home to his father when he realised he could not make himself. Today, I will examine the lives of Jesus' disciples and how He made all of them, except Judas Iscariot. When Jesus called His disciples in today's memory verse, He said, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." For example, by the time He was done with Peter, Peter became so famous and influential that today, over 2,000 years later, we are still talking about him. Those who allowed God to make them in the Scriptures have remained relevant up until now.
When God makes a fellow, He adorns the fellow with beauty and glory and gives him or her a purpose for living. Jesus told His disciples that by following Him, they would become fishers of men. He fulfilled this promise, and they all became great fishers of men (Acts 2:41, Acts 4:4), and He kept them all until the end, except the son of perdition (John 17:12). All these happened because they followed Jesus.
God cannot make you when you are not following Him consistently. Just because you followed Him yesterday doesn't mean that you can live life by yourself today. Following Him is a daily decision. A famous songwriter once wrote, "I have decided to follow Jesus; no turning back, no turning back." When you truly follow Jesus, it will be evident in your words, actions, and lifestyle. After the disciples had followed Jesus for some time, the religious leaders observed them and noted that they had truly been with Jesus (Acts 4:13). If you truly follow Jesus, it will be evident for people to see. When you leave raw meat on fire to cook, for example, no matter how tough it is, it will eventually become soft. Sadly, many believers attend church services and other Christian programmes frequently; however, there is no tangible change in their behaviour and attitude.
Beloved, it is time to follow Jesus wholeheartedly and allow Him to make you if you haven't done so yet. It is time to let go of all forms of worldliness in your life; lay them aside, and follow Jesus. Jesus makes only those who follow Him. He purifies and prunes only the branches that abide in Him John 15:2). Don't waste your life chasing meaningless things; follow Jesus and let Him make you who He has destined you to become.
PRAYER POINT:
Lord Jesus, help me to follow You wholeheartedly without looking back, and please make me who You.
