It is a fact that the expiration of an old year marks the arrival and the dawn of a new year. Glory be to our merciful Father who has brought us into this glorious new year. Welcome to the Year 2024, full of newness and hope for you and your family. Today is the 7th day of the year and seven symbolizes perfection; I decree on this seventh day of the first month, that God shall perfect everything about your plans this year. I also declare that God shall open a new page for you, and change your status in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!
The biblical meaning of the word dispensation is an appointment, arrangement, or a favour by God. In this new year, there will be supernatural appointment that will bring you under a new dispensation of favour in the name of Jesus. Dispensation also means a divinely appointed order, age, or era. Before the advent of Jesus Christ, who brought grace, people were under the dispensation of law. In other words, grace is a product of the redemptive work of Christ which established the new dispensation. By divine arrangement, you will experience a tectonic shift that will propel you into a new dispensation in this new year. I mean grace will open unto you, and your household, the gate and door of a new dispensation in Jesus’ name.
The book of Job 11:16-19 gives a vivid illustration of what characterizes entering a new dispensation. *“Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away”* (vs. 16). Misery is a state of feeling of great physical or mental distress or discomfort. You will forget about your misery, failure, disappointment, rejection, inadequacy, affliction, etc., and you won’t even remember them again. Nobody can remember the water that passes because it is past already. A flowing river always experiences freshness and cleanness because it does not retain debris! If you want to experience a new dispensation, you must not allow barrage of the past woes to weigh down your spirit. Your freshness and vitality is preserved in your ability to put the past behind you. Verse 17 of the scripture also describes the clarity and brightness of shinning of the recipient in a new dispensation. *“And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shall be as the morning.”* The radiance and intensity of your luminosity will be incomparable!
Are you ready to enter into the new dispensation in this New Year? I assure you that the stage is set for you to take over your territory in this new dispensation. Your readiness is a function of your obedience to God, faith in Him, devotion and service unto Him. This is specially wishing the Cedar Family a happy and prosperous New Year 2024 – Our Year of A New Dispensation. *SHALOM* (To be continued).
