Happy New Year 🎈🎇🎆

We are beginning a new year, and only the Lord knows what lies ahead of us.

Many people begin the year with new year resolutions that may only last until the end of the first week in January. Others try to establish goals that they quickly forget as the pressure of life hits home.

The good news is that you can improve your life in 2023 if you surrender everything in the capable hands of the Lord. He will guide you on the path that is best for you.

Cultivate these twenty-two (22) simple habits to give the Lord total control of your l

Twenty-two habits to improve your life in 2023

1. Wake up every morning with a prayer of thanksgiving. Here are Seven Powerful affirmations to kick-start your day.

3. Take a few minutes each day to meditate on the Word of God because there is tremendous power in the Word.
4. Remember to always look toward the hills because your help comes from the Lord (Psalms 121).
5. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to pray without ceasing. So always watch and pray because the coming of the Lord is near.
6. Prophecy the living Word of God over your life and family every day.
7. “Procrastination is the seed of self-destruction.” (Quotation attributed to Matthew Burton). Therefore don’t delay, get up and go!
8. Your family is a priority so spend quality time with them.
9. There will be times when you will feel as if the world is against you. You can overcome those trying times when you escape to a higher place in God and experience the beauty of the Lord.
10. The most powerful name is JESUS (YESHUA). Therefore, call upon His name in times of trouble because He is a present help and there is guaranteed freedom and deliverance in His name.
11. During 2023, you do not have to carry any unnecessary burden. Leave all your cares at the feet of Jesus.
12. Don’t live in the past because all things are new when you put your trust in the Lord.
13. Note that people will see your past but God sees your future and He has a great plan in store for you.
14. Enjoy the life of your years by ensuring you occasionally take time off from work to rest and recuperate.
15. Stay focused on your established goals until you have accomplished them.
16. Your health is essential so eat a well-balanced diet, drink plenty of fluids, and exercise regularly.
17. If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, make it your goal in 2023 to “Come, see a man” who will forgive all your sins.
18. When life becomes overwhelming you can remain calm when you go to the rock that is higher than you (Pslams 61).
19. If you are young and feeling insecure, I want to encourage you that greatness is within you and you can live a pure and dignified life in this corrupt world.
20. Spend quality time with friends and family because you do not know how long they will be with you. As Paul states in 2 Corinthians 13:12, “Greet one another with a holy kiss.”

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
