I welcome you all to the month of December, the last month of the year and our year of WISDOM.
We thank God for His protection and all His mighty works in our lives and Ministry from January to date. God deserves to be praised for His marvellous acts in our midst in the last eleven months. Alleluia!
My prayer is that all our testimonies shall be permanent even as we cross over to 2025 in Jesus name.

God’s wisdom is still at work in our Ministry and lives, even as we are rounding up the year. We will never be empty or be barren of His wisdom forever in Jesus name.

As our custom is in this house, we always round up the year with our gratitude to God. December is always our month of praise.
Therefore, by divine inspiration, the month of December has been declared as our month of WISDOM IN PRAISE.
Our golden scripture for the month is 1 Thessalonians 5:17-19

1Th 5:17  Pray without ceasing.
1Th 5:18  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1Th 5:19  Quench not the Spirit

This scripture teaches us that true wisdom is expressed through rejoicing, praying, giving thanks, and staying sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

Wisdom rejoices always because:
    •    It lifts our focus from circumstances to God’s character.
    •    It weakens fear, anxiety, and negativity.
    •    It keeps the enemy from stealing our joy.
    •    It builds spiritual resilience
To rejoice always is to declare continually that God is still sovereign, still faithful, and still worthy.

Wisdom gives thanks in everything because:
    •    It anchors our faith even in trials
    •    It keeps bitterness and discouragement from taking root
    •    It opens the door for spiritual clarity and direction.
    •    It aligns us with the “will of God in Christ Jesus”
Thanksgiving is the language of faith as it declares that even when we don’t understand the situation, we must trust the One who is in control of it.

With our praise and thanksgiving we keep the fire of the Holy Spirit burning.
When we stop rejoicing, stop praying, and stop giving thanks, we slowly put out the fire of the Holy Spirit within us.

How do we keep the fire burning?
    •    By maintaining a heart full of praise.
    •    By staying in continual communication with God.
    •    By cultivating the attitude of gratitude as a daily habit.
    •    By responding quickly when the Holy Spirit speaks.

A wise believer knows that the Spirit’s fire thrives in an atmosphere of praise.

Therefore, as we are rounding up the year, form the habit of thanking and praising God for who He is, for all He has done for you, and for what He will yet do before the year ends.
Do this personally in your closet, and corporately in all our December services.
    •    Hear God:Jeremiah 30:19

Jer 30:19  And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

As we do this, I see God crowning the year for us all with His goodness.
    •    Psalm 65:9-13

Psa 65:9  Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
Psa 65:10  Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
Psa 65:11  Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
Psa 65:12  They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
Psa 65:13  The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy

Welcome to your season of unending joy and celebrations. Amen!

Shalom!
