How to Make New Year Resolutions that Work

  It was Jason Soroski who said, "There is nothing magical about the flip of the calendar, but it represents a clean break, a new hope, and a blank canvas." I agree about the not-so-magical part, however, what causes new hope and change is not the change in the calendar but a change in your mind. Paul the Apostle admonished believers to be transformed by the renewing of the mind (Rom 12:2) . True change happens when your mind is fed with new information.

Sometimes you might have these thoughts and more, running wild in your mind; with the increase of preachers making even more emphasis on the importance of faith. Perhaps you are struggling, trying to make ends meet, maybe you have a health challenge or a need in any area and you’ve prayed and even fasted but no change has occurred, and you’re wondering what could be the problem. Maybe it’s a lack of faith or inadequate faith! Maybe you’ve not prayed enough or fasted enough! Maybe because of one sin or the other! Let’s take a break from thinking for a while and let’s talk.   It is my prayer for you that before the end of our
