2020.
Praise the Lord. You are all at different stages of life.
Few of you could be just starting college, just started jobs, finishing final years in college.
Whatever stage your life, this Year , the Year 2020 is the most important year in your life as it stands.
You can't change the year that was done, You can't predict the years ahead.
So just as it stands for you and me , the very most important year is the current year 2020.
Make 2020 , the best year you ever had or you will ever have in your life.
Make it the Best Spiritual year you ever had.
Why I say the best Spiritual year , if your Spirituality ( the matters of the Inner most being) is good, usually you will have a very good life overall.
Because every time you see a problem outside ( everything that you see a problem in natural realm is in a deeper way related to the matters of Spirit).
It is in your hands.
Yes making 2020 the best Spiritual year is in your hands.
Well some might say, it is in Gods Hands.
Yes it is in Gods hands, but it depends on you.
While God has put His sovereign boundaries on the certain matters , but he opened up a play for mankind to call the shots and He responds accordingly.
That means , Most of His Actions are dependent of your actions.
So, if you decide to make this year the BEST and follow what it takes to make it the BEST. this year 2020 will be your BEST year.
SURRENDER
19 Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to [g]Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
God formed the animals and brought to Adam. Adam was given the responsibility to name. So Adam started calling the names.

Your lack does not stop you to help others in that area.
But in helping others, in exercising and doing the work perfectly, God makes you realize the need that you have.
So for man to get the suitable help, God opened the History of Surgical Department.
When God made the first surgery in the history of surgical sciences.
The first thing that God did was , He put Adam to sleep.
21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He [h]made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
Eve put hand in Gods hand.
Eves wonderful attributes
1) She Saw God First
Its very easy when you are single to look at different places. But Eve saw God First.
2) She Put her hand in Gods hand.
As soon as she was able to see she is not worried about what is going to happen to her. what will be her future. what await her . who is going to take care of her.
Into your hands I commit. She put her hands in Gods hands. and she walked to where God walked her through the aisle of garden of Eden.
Making the year Best year.
The first attribute is SURRENDER
See God first.
Somebody hurt you - How did Jesus deal when people hurt him.
Every situation see God first.
Are you looking for a life partner? are you looking for a breakthrough in your career? looking for best time in college. See God first , surrender your hand into Gods hand and say I will walk wherever you walk me through.
So Make this Year - The BEST.
MINDSET
Romans 8:
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be [b]carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.7 Because the [c]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
As you enter into the new year. Remember, there is therefore now no Condemnation to those who in Christ Jesus, if you are walking according to Spirit.
2 laws - Law of Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus - Brings freedom to a man.
law of sin and death - always brings a person into condemnation.
Verse 5 says - those who live according to flesh - set their minds on their flesh
those who live according to the Spirit - set their minds on things of the Spirit.
So we are seeing 2 ways where people can set minds on.
You will be in either or.
Some people want to set their mind of things of the Spirit, but they live according to flesh, so their mind goes on things of flesh.
Many Christians think, ah today i did not tell a lie, i did not talk badly about others, i did not lust with my eye. so am good.
It is not what you do, but it s where your mind is set on?
It is one thing to go online and buy a dress, it is another thing , your mind is set on designer clothes all the time and your eyes are always looking for the latest fashions in the industry and you live to according to flesh and your mind is set on the flesh. and that leads to death.
Carnally mind is enmity with God.
Do you know that you can be enemy of God by just what you are thinking.
And when a person becomes enemy with God, all consequences will be revealed.
Do you want to have the best Spiritual year that you ever had in your life?
Set your mind to please God. Set your mind on the things of the Holy Spirit.
Set your mind on Righteousness, Joy, A life of Rest, A life of Peace.
Carnal minded people are easy to tick off. they are easy to disturbed.
They don't have rest.
Past year, did you struggle with your mindset. Always thinking about passions of the world, negativity in other people, looking down on yourself.
Year 2020 has Hope, 2020 is year of Celebration.
What better way to celebrate than changing your thinking.
Just your thoughts can lead you to victory.
Change Just your thoughts.
When a person is filled in the Holy Spirit, and led by the Spirit, a life of Peace is evident.
Life of Peace.
You cannot blame anybody or anything for bitterness in you.

Common things between 2 men -
Both want to build a house
Both heard same teaching - they have same material
Both Faced storms -
Distinctions between 2 men
Rock vs Sand
Rock - drill, dig
Sand - can be quick
Wise - Hears the Word of God and uses to the issues of Life
Fool - hears the Word of God and does not apply to issues of life.
Both heard same message -
wise - heard and acted on those words
foolish - heard and did not act on those words
Malls open the doors - when it detects the activity.
only storms reveal how your building is
rain came
flood came
wind blew
But when the foundation was strong, the house withstand the storms.

24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
