NEW YEAR 2019
2018 IS GONE LETS LOOK AT WHAT WE WILL DO THIS YEAR.
We lost friends and love ones last year .
There are some things we need to change in our lives this year.
(1) We need to walk like Christians.
Ephesians 4:17
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
1 Thessalonians 2:12
That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
Ephesians 4:1
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
(2) We need to pray like Christians.
John 17:9
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
John 17:20
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
1 Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing.
1 Thessalonians 5:25
Brethren, pray for us.
(3) Learn how to love one another.
1 Peter 1:22
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
1 Thessalonians 4:9
But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
(4) We see our faults not every one else’s.
Psalms 19:12
Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
(5) We need to worship God like we love him.
Acts 18:13
Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
Revelation 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Philippians 3:3
For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
(6) We need to serve our Lord.
Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
John 12:26
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
Joshua 24:14
Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
