What God Said About 2024 -By Rev. Fr. John Oluoma
What God has said about every year is that the sun will shine, the rain will come, the seasons and times will take their course. Every other thing like getting married, getting a job, building a house, getting rich etc will be largely determined by the variables of inviolable natural forces, the socioeconomic/ political forces at play in your country and your own decisions.
Are you for real? Do you actually think God said something about 2024?🙄
Ok, let’s be reasonable in our beliefs please.
Stop straining your ear to hear what God has said about 2024. God hasn’t said anything about this year, he never said anything about past years and says nothing about any year. Psalm 139:16 says God has decreed everyday of our lives even before they began. Jere 29 tells us God has a good plan for us. What else do you want Him to say? You think God follows our calendar of January 1st to 31st December, such that every December God will look for something to say about each year abi?
You, your priest, your pastor or myself can declare a year as a year of anything. It is an exercise of piety and faith, and we hope and pray that God spoils us with manifestation of the declarations. That is as far as it can go and nothing more.
What God has said about every year is that the sun will shine, the rain will come, the seasons and times will take their course. Every other thing like getting married, getting a job, building a house, getting rich etc will be largely determined by the variables of inviolable natural forces, the socioeconomic/ political forces at play in your country and your own decisions. You should be more interested in what your president and governors say about 2024. As for God, his word is forever settled and he is not saying anything new for any year.
If you think this means don’t pray or go to church or look up to God again, I wish you well. I’m responsible for what I write, not for what you make of it.
By now you should have a vision for your life. Take an aspect of it and work on it consistently. Be rigorous and consistent for the whole year. Then pray consistently, not intensely but consistently. At the end of the year watch out for significant results.
Stop prioritizing exceptions. Miracles are exceptions to the rules, stop prioritizing them. Plan, pursue and pray. God has already said everything he wants to say about the world, he is working it out. Jesus said: “my father goes on working( not talking) and so do I”. Get to work and stop straining your ear to hear WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT 2024 or any year.
