Last night was 31st night and of course the last day of 2011 and like the ritual it has become, almost everybody went to church. No pranks guys, I saw Muslims and even pagans in church.
There is something about 31st nights I believe that it make everyone to want to cross over in God’s presence. On 31st nights, we all pray our hearts out, confess and repent of our sins, and we make a thousand and one promises to God.
Interestingly, for many people, once they cross into the New Year, they forget about all the promises they made the previous night in God’s presence. They return to the habits we said we’d stop and do all the things God doesn’t approve of.
The irony in this is that although we seldom keep to our part of the bargain, we want God to keep to his part by blessing us. Who will want to bless a disobedient child?
When we trust God so much that we do things His ways, He opens up heaven and pour down blessings on us. I know you’ve made resolutions for the year and promised God so much. I want to entreat you not to go back on your words.
It is only God that can bless us and obedient is the surest key to getting God’s blessings.
My prayer is Lord help me not to go back to things you do not approve of. I know I cannot do it on my own so Lord I ask that you give me the grace to with you. Amen…
What’s you prayer?
