THE VALUE OF DIVINE PRESENCE IN YOUR 2024 JOURNEY

THE VALUE OF DIVINE PRESENCE IN YOUR 2024 JOURNEY 

Scripture: "The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” Exodus 33:14-16 New International Version (NIV)

God is the Creator of years, time and seasons. And then gifts us all of them. That is why it is a privilege to be alive. David understood this in Psalm 3:5 KJV he said that "I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me." And in Lamentation 3:22 the Bible says that "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not." So in essence it is not your strength or some scientific functions that kept you alive to see this year. It is the sustaining power and the mercy of God that kept you alive. Glory!!

There is a link between the journey of 2024 you are embarking now and the presence of God. Our anchor Scripture shows us that it is risky to take the 2024 ride without the presence of God accompanying you all the way.

Let me share with you some value of God's presence in your 2024 journey:

1. The presence of God guarantees arrival in the end

You are sure that you will end 2024 well when you go with His presence.

Abraham got to the destination God set for him because he carried God along in every step of the way.

2. The presence of God preserves you

There are forces that is out to terminate and abort destinies  it is the Presence of God with you that will preserve and rescue you.

When God delivered Israel from Egypt, the Egyptian forces pursued them to bring them back to square zero again but the presence of God with them caused their chariots to reduce speed until Israel crossed the red sea and their enemies were drowned in the red sea. The enemy chasing a person or a people who carries divine presence does that at their own risk. No devil can chase you and overtake you nor conquer you if you carry the presence of the Lord with you.

"[1] If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say; 

[2] If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us: 

[3] Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: 

[4] Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: 

[5] Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. 

[6] Blessed be the Lord , who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. 

[7] Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped." Psalm 124:1-7 KJV

3. The presence of God distinguishes you from the rest

Exodus 33:16 "What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”

Year in year out, you have been looking like the events around, looking like the economy, looking like the rest. Looking like what is happening in your lineage.  Looking depressed and cast down. This year if you carry God's presence you will be different from the rest. Your outlook will be glorious because God is full of glory. 

4. The presence of God causes the manifestation of diverse signs, wonders and miracles

Mark 16:20 KJV says that

"And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them , and confirming the word with signs following. Amen."

One trademark of divine presence is miracles, signs and wonders. The meaning of this is that God with you is the manifestation of tangible miracles and out of this world possibilities. Your life, ministry, office, business and family becomes an epicenter of miracles. 

5. The presence of God guarantees direction

You can't navigate your path in 2024 on your own, you will need God who is the Master Navigator. He knows what route to take because He is the all knowing God. 

Divine direction is powerful and very accurate. None can miss it with God.

David never lost any battle because he enjoyed divine direction. Divine presence and failure are two immiscible outcomes. It is never possible to have God and fail. It is an absolute contradiction. God cannot be with you and you fail. 

I speak into your life, this year, you won't fail in anything you do in Jesus Name
