Open Heaven 2 January 2024 TOPIC: New Year Resolution 1
MEMORISE: “While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.” – Psalm 146:2 (KJV)
READ: Psalm 67:4-5 (KJV)
4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 5-8
Open Heaven 2 January 2024 MESSAGE
While preaching some time, One of my sons said Jacob labored for 14 years to get the woman he wanted to marry (Genesis 29:18-30) while Isaac simply took a stroll and returned with a wife (Genesis 24:63-67). One had favor, the other exerted labor. The moment he said that, I made up my mind that l would enjoy God’s favor in every area of my life. This decision led me to make what you will probably call ‘New Year’s resolutions’. These resolutions are deliberate steps I will take towards basking in divine favor for the rest of my life. I will share these steps with you over the next six days and encourage you to take them very seriously. Please do not treat them like the typical New Year resolutions that are often quickly forgotten.

This year, like never before, I am determined to praise and worship God with all my heart and strength. Whenever you eulogize someone from the bottom of your heart, you can get that fellow to volunteer to help you. I will worship and praise God so much that He will volunteer to help me like He did for Paul and Silas in Acts 16:25-26.
My biological father was so poor that whenever the time came for school fees to be paid, he would pick quarrels with his two wives so that they wouldn’t be able to ask for the children’s school fees. However, my mother knew how to get my school fees. She would go into my father’s room and eulogize him to the extent that he would ask her, “What can I do for you today?” My mother would promptly ask for my school fees, and he would immediately promise to see that my school fees were paid.
This year, I will praise and worship God more than ever. Like David, who also enjoyed divine favor throughout his life, I will always bless God, and His praise shall continually be in my mouth (Psalm 34:1). I will never stop praising His holy name. I will be intentional in honoring Him at all times. I will praise Him with everything within me (Psalm 103:1). I will speak of His greatness at all times, and He will cover me especially with His favor throughout this year and beyond. I will praise my God forever (Psalm 145:1-2). What about you?

Open Heaven 2 January 2024 HYMN 17 – Praise My Soul, The King Of Heaven
1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;
to His feet your tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
evermore his praises sing.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King!
2 Praise Him for His grace and favor,
to His people in distress.
Praise Him, still the same as ever,
slow to chide and swift to bless.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Glorious in His faithfulness!
3 Fatherlike He tends and spares us;
well, our feeble frame, He knows.
In His hand, He gently bears us,
rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Widely yet, His mercy flows!
4 Angels, help us to adore Him;
you behold Him face to face,
Sun and moon, bow down before Him,
dwellers all in time and space.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise with us, the God of grace!
