I will, by the help and insight of the Holy Spirit, be sharing with you, a number of truths and insights that would help make the coming year 2018 a new year for you indeed.
The reason I say this is because unfortunately, many people mistake a new date for a new year. We must understand that there is a difference between a new year and a new date. One is personal, the other is general. A new date is general, it's theoretical, it's automatic, it requires no effort or participation on your part, it would happen for you and everyone else without doing anything, as long as you are alive, you'll get the new date, free of charge, costing you nothing. However, a new year is differnt.

The new year is personal. It is practical. It is not guaranteed to everybody, though is available for everybody. You have to secure it by yourself. It requires your participation, your input, your contribution, it will requires some effort on your part. It's your personal responsibility. The new year refers to new things and new experiences taking place in your life, things you didn't have before, and this is why it is called new. It's an exit from something old in your life and an entrance into something new. It's referring to an inflow of new blessings, new doors of opportunity being opened to you, it's referring to the emergence of new relationships, strategic relationships that connect you to destiny.

For you, maybe it's a new relationship that would completely erase the pain of the old and tears of the past. For you, maybe it's a new job that more than compensates for all the labours and sacrifice in a former job that weren't rewarded. For someone else, it could be a new company of friends that would be true, faithful and sincere, that would heal all the pain of the stab wounds you've been carrying on your back. All these things and all such blessings don't just happen in the life of an individual because the figures on a calender are now different. I'm sure, you are smart enough to realise that.


Because the date, that is the figures of a calender have changed to something new, does not mean that other things will be new. It doesn't mean automatically, the days, weeks and months will be any different from anything previous even though they can.

The good news is that the days, the weeks and months of 2018 can be different and will be different once the right steps are understood and taken.
This is what we will be talking about.
A new experience is possible.
A new year is possible.

A first practical step towards the new, is to avoid the bandwagon effect where people, leaving things to mere chance , just assume that a new date for everybody means a new experience for everybody.
No , this is not true.
The new experience, the new year, involves steps that are taken by men before moves that are made by God.
Remember, the new date is general, is free for all, is theoretical and comes at no cost, but the new year is personal, practical and with a price tag. In this series, we will be looking at how YOU can have a new year in reality and not just in theory.

One thing that can really set you up for a new year personally where new things flow into your life, new blessings, new relationships, new doors ,opportunities and so on is something called the GRACE of God.
The grace of God coming upon your life and that situation in a tangible way in the coming new year will be something really special.
But to experience the grace of God on this life level, it is necessary to first understand what this grace is and what this grace is not.
