Christians all over the world have been urged to make the resolution to serve God better this year than previous years.
The Superintendent of Christ Apostolic Church, Amuwo Odofin District Coordinating Council (DCC), Pastor Joe Jacobs said this on Sunday January 6, 2019 while preaching on the topic "Obituary."
He said there is always new year resolution at the beginning of every year most especially by those who are not growing younger, stating that our resolution supposed to be serving God better than before because He's coming back the second time.
According to the former Youth Officer of CAC Worldwide, anyone who wants to enjoy God this year must be closer to Him (God) than before.
He urged the congregation to give God quality worship and their personal lives this year, adding that they should be faithful and graduate their giving style.
"Make resolution on what you will do concerning your dream. There is power of science in anything documented. Obituary is a short biographical account written by someone concerning the dead. Death means transition to all those in Christ.
Man must be born as a baby, grow up and attain the best cadre before coming down as a baby again."
"It is good to write your obituary by yourself. There is no how people will not write about you when you die. But write what you wanted people to read about you. As a Christian, you should be able to say " If I am no more ,what would people write about me, let me write it down my self". Pilate wrote a title and put on tablet and put it on the cross. What God is saying about your future, write it down," the Cleric explained.
Pastor Joe Jacobs who is known for prophetic declaration, asked the congregation to make the following prophetic declaration about year 2019:
"I will not be vision less. I will be filled with great dreams.
I receive power for great dreams in Jesus name.
Anointing to live long is released upon me today in Jesus name.
Wisdom to write out my great obituary is released in Jesus name. Whatever my enemies wished to write about me is cancelled in Jesus name.
I will overcome in Jesus name.
Great things I write about myself will be realised in Jesus name Amen." (Compiled by Adenike Orimolade)
