Happy New Year 2024
The year has come to a conclusion yet again: many friends are on holidays and soaking in the joy of festivities; while some are at home recovering from the battle scars from the year that it was. Indeed some of the wounds were necessary to strengthen us for the tasks ahead. God wants to instil and build some tenacity in us to prepare us for tougher assignments.
Many are struggling in their business, relationships or work; while some with gratitude to count their blessings and even have a little extra to do a little charity or to lend a helping hand.
I have known both the ecstasy of success and the despair of failure. We are glad for those who are at the pinnacle of their careers. But I can empathise with those going through setbacks after setbacks and difficult times for I have been there myself. But no matter how bitter your disappointments are you must never run away from God or the church, as He always has a Plan B. Just be thankful as without Jesus our boat of destiny would have sunk long ago.
The disciples were fruitless. Simon answered “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything..” Luke 5:5. There is abundance of fishes in the sea. It’s there whether Simon Peter managed to catch any or not. Likewise there is abundance of wealth in this world whether we are financially challenged or otherwise. The key is to have Jesus as your partner. The wealth is there in the market.
By faith in Christ, as a gentile I too partake in the Abrahamic covenant. On reflection, the year 2023 I saw many things that I lost being restored, and new openings that I never imagined. First there was my first commercial book launch in over a dozen years. Then my Total Health Management courses began to take shape towards the end of 2023 in a local varsity – University Technology Malaysia.
As 2024 is just around the corner, there is an anticipation and excitement of what they year will bring. Perhaps even with a tinge of ambivalence. Many are yet to see their God given promises fulfilled. The coming year will certainly inch us closer to our destiny, even at unprecedented rate with God speeding up His move in these end times.
God wants us to launch into the deep (Luke 5:4) where there are lots of hidden treasure and wealth. Expansion and favour is our portion so don’t miss the opportunities. It’s His desire to continue to enlarge us in 2024. Yet the “deep” is not without pitfalls, obstacles and challenges. Hence the more we need to keep our eyes on Jesus, and let Him lead us step by step. Focus on Him, and not the news, rumours and conventional wisdom. You are not limited by what you have in your bank account or your age. When grace is activated there are no limitations. When grace is activated, age is no limitation.
So David and his men went up to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He said, “As waters break out, God has broken out against my enemies by my hand.” So that place was called Baal Perazim (1 Chronicles 14;11).
There will be Rushing Waves of Breakthroughs (1 Chronicles 14:11) in 2024. We have arrived at our Baal Perazim!!! Breakthroughs! Yes breakthroughs. Perazim means breakthrough in Hebrew., the very name of my company Perazim Holdings Sdn Bhd. The time has come, Welcome to Baal Perazim.
Blessings,
Happy New Year 2024.
