Sermon – PREPARING FOR THE MORNING (DAY) By Dr Paul Enenche

SERVICE OBJECTIVE(S): Understanding what it takes to prepare for the beginning of a new day/year

We are in the night of a passing year; as it is well known, the best time to prepare for a day is before the day arrives

You don’t prepare for rain at the gathering of the clouds, you prepare for rain before the clouds gather.

It is interesting to note that God’s day begins in the evening (Gen. 1:5)

1. Appreciating God for His Goodness and Mercies in the passing day or year (Gen. 1:4-5; Ps. 92:1-2; Eccl. 9:4)

Today is the day to do spiritual stock taking – things to be thankful and grateful for in 2023

Don’t allow the devil to make you fixate on the things that haven’t yet worked out

It doesn’t matter how bad life is, there is always something to thank God for.

Anywhere you are per time is somebody’s prayer point; your current position is somebody’s future expectation.

Appreciate God for your life, family, children, for hope, health etc.

2. Identifying what needs to be done in the morning (the new day or new year) (Hab. 2:1-4; Matt. 6:33)

The evening or the night is the best time to plan for the day

2a. Identify where you want to direct the most of your life’s energy, resources, time, ability,

potentials and mantle for maximum productivity

2b. Identify what constitutes the necessities and priorities of your life and destiny in the coming day/year (Matt. 6:33)

An unplanned day/year must end as an unprofitable day/year because you cannot find what you cannot define

3. Refusing to be discouraged about unfinished pursuits in the passing day or year (2 Kings 5:14; Mark 11:20-21)

Make up your mind never to be discouraged about the task of yesterday/last year that couldn’t be finished

The end of the day/year is not the end of the game

As powerful as the Almighty is, He didn’t finish the world in one day.

Keep at it until everything changes because something must change

There are efforts you are making now that seem like there is no result, not because it is being

wasted but because it is being summated.

There are efforts in today that only produce results in tomorrow; they produce not immediately but ultimately

In the realm where you see nothing, something is already happening

There is Divine activity beyond human visibility when you release commitment

The things that don’t finish today continue tomorrow

4. Entering into the day or year unburdened of the baggages of the passing day or year (Phil. 3:12-13)

To have a productive day, you must have a restful night.

You can’t have a restless, sleepless, stressful night and have a truly successful and productive day

If you want the vehicle to carry new load you must offload old load

4a. Unwind, offload, download all stress and distress of the passing day/year (Phil. 3:12-13)

4b. Release all pain and all hurt of the passing year; refuse to allow them walk with you into another year.

You cannot walk backwards into the future; if you don’t allow the past to pass, you pass with the past.

Focus on the past makes a person to be history while he is alive

4c. Forgive yourself for failed opportunities and openings; don’t lament what you can’t amend

4d. Forgive anyone that you must release in order to advance; until you let go of the past, you don’t lay hold on the future.

4e. Give the new day/year the chance to deliver expected results

Never enter into the new year with the mentality that another year has come

5. Commanding and directing the morning (the day or year) at the place of prayer (Job 38:12; Gen. 19:27; Mark. 1:35)

5a. You command the day/year to know its place

5b. You refuse to allow the day/year to go how it wants

5c. You refuse to allow the day/year to proceed

at random; you refuse to leave it to chance

6. Receiving and accessing instructions from the Almighty at night (Job 33:14-18; Ps. 16:7; Isa. 30:29-30; Prov. 16:25)

6a. To discover Divine purpose for our lives in the coming day or year

6b. To deliver man from distractive directions

6c. To rescue from destruction (Prov. 16:25)

Come with a spiritual stock taking list tonight

Father, thank You for Your Word to us today; to You be all the glory, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

– Any devil that is looking for your life shall take their own life!

– Anything that needs to go for your life to be preserved, shall go!

– Every agenda of hell in your life is hereby roasted by fire!

– The pain and reproach is over!

– Whatever is looking for you shall never find you!

– You shall live, you shall fulfil your days! You shall be everything God wants you to be!

– There is a vengeance/Moses mantle that someone is receiving and going into next year with.

– The mantle of recovery and restoration like David possessed in 1 Sam. 30:8 is released now. Receive it!

– Every last minute demonic altar or sacrifice reared up to interfere with a smooth crossing over to another year, that sacrifice is neutralised in Jesus’ Name!

– A spiritual fountain – of revival, fire and grace is being turned on today!

– The time for a particular visitation, Expectation/Kingdom agenda has just arrived (Ps 102:13)
