2020: A year without regrets ~ Pastor Ituah Ighodalo


  And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth: Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. Genesis 19: 30-32 KJV

Genesis 19: 30 – 38



We have almost a crisis in this country and a lot of people are not aware of it. This country has some of the most productive resources than can be found anywhere in the world. We have a serious, looming problem in this country and it is time for us to act and make this year 2020 going forward we begin to think differently as Christians. We must realize we have power which we must use to make the nation great and a success. Don’t say it doesn’t concern you, don’t lose your right as a people.

The bible us in the book of Genesis 19 reading from verse 30 of a man called Lot. Lot was the nephew of Abraham and he had only 2 daughters.


The 2 daughter had intercourse with their father and each had a son, the first –Moab and the second Ammon. These children both became a kingdom their rights.  The first problem that the Jews had with the Isrealites was when they were leaving Egypt was 500 years after the birth of Moab in Genesis 19.


That piece of land called Israel was originally the land of Canaan; it belonged to the progenitors of Lot and Ishmael. But the intent of God was that the land was reserved for the Jews.

Abraham and his people had to fight on a daily basis to have and live in the land. This is why we continue to fight in the spiritual to occupy the land that God has given to us.

Therefore, I have these things to say;
  • In life we cannot to make a mistake. One simple mistake can throw you off the normal course of your life, it can have repercussion for life and until eternity. 
  • The issues of sex, intercourse and premarital sex affects the course of a person’s life. It can change the course of your life for all time.

This year 2020 is not the year to make any mistakes. You cannot afford to make any mistake that will send you back or change the course of your life.


Have you made a mistake that has changed the course of your life? Turn to God and ask Him for mercy that will repair your past to change the present so that your future will be successful.

Some people have already started 2020 with mistakes, wrong choices and taking the wrong steps. If you find yourself in this position; look back and correct it by seeking Christ.


The forth things that affects man is the mistakes that we make. Mistakes are extremely costly. It has been proven that 1 mistake in a person’s life can take about 10-20 years to resolve. What we have read in Genesis 19: 30-38 tells us that some mistakes can have effects that spans generations.
  1. He married the wrong woman
  2. He was indecisive person
  3. He was willing to give his daughters out to men
  4. He was a lazy man not ready to apply himself the way he should have
  5. He was a bit of a greedy person
  6. He was a bit of disrespectful person. When Abraham gave him the option of choice he should have deferred to his uncle
  7. Which is the greatest mistake, he did not hear from God before he made his choices

He made the 8 mistakes that ended up being the first man to commit incest in the bible. Every product of disobedience to the words of God results in mistakes that have lasting effects on our life and that of generations to come.

Seeing clearly into the future. ~ Pastor Ituah Ighodalo



And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Exo 12: 1-KJV


2020 in scientific terms says perfect vision; the ability to see well. The ophthalmologist says you have 2020 vision; this means both eyes see perfectly. The ability to see perfectly is what we need to succeed in life.


There are things that makes life difficult. One of those things are the seeming circumstances of our birth. This may affect how the future is for us. For example, the tells of the man that was born blind; and if he had remained in his circumstances he may not prosper.


Some of us have been limited because of our circumstance. If we limit our life to the thinking of our circumstances, then we may not rise beyond what the situation of the life allows.

Gideon was limited by the circumstances of his birth. Due to this limitation when God asked him to lead His people, he could not see beyond the circumstances of his birth. The circumstances by which we are born can limit us if we allow it to do so.


The second thing that can make life difficult for a person is the attack of the enemy. The enemy is real and can come from anywhere in our life. Joseph enemies were his brothers who were angry because of his dreams.


I speak into your life that anyone anywhere that seeks to attack you for no reason will be faced by God. One of the things we should know is that we are not a mistake. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. No weapon formed against us shall prosper and any tongue that rises against you shall fall for your sake.


If you can think it through you can make it work!

Changes in life is the third thing that can work against your destiny. Things that are called Acts of God. Things like natural disasters that tend to pull you down. The truth of the matter is that everything that happens to you God has determined that it is designed to promote you. Psalm 91 tells us God has given His angels charge over us.


Pray and ask God that; “Father, whatever mistakes I made in 2019 will not follow me into 2020!” Speak to your feet, “this my feet will not go into the wrong place; they will not take me to a place of error, to the wrong house, to the wrong people”


Speak to your hands, “this my hands will not hold the wrong person, will not do the things they are not supposed to do” Speak to your eyes; “this my eyes you shall not see evil, you shall see clearly and see into the future”. You shall say that this my brain shall not lead me to a place of destruction, you will think well and think right. This my mouth shall not speak the wrong things, shall not kiss the wrong people. I speak to you all parts of my body, I command you to be under the anointing and unction of Jesus Christ.


Pray that any mistake in 2020 wanting to destroy my life in this year get out of my life this year. You have to pray because prayer is the master key that Christ has given to us all.
