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.

What should your resolution be?


And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 
Romans 8: 28 – 30 KJV

Each yeah people do resolutions at the beginning of the year. Typically, when people do resolution it is about what they want God to do for them. But resolutions should be about what God wants from us and that is total obedience. If you can find out what God wants from you and you can key into it, then our life would be one of great joy.

More often than not we lack understanding of what God wants from us and what we want. We need to discover for ourselves where God is and His position in every situation, we find ourselves. We need to ask ourselves some questions;

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8: 28 KJV. If we take our time to understand the scripture, we would understand the mind of God. Even the early Christians were faced with challenges we faced today in their walk with Christ. When bad things happened to the early Christians even after giving their life to Christ; Paul made them understand that all things work together for the good of all that rely on and trust God.

Everything we go through in life is pre-planned; whether we are justified or not, whether the person is good or bad; in every situation there is something good and a lesson to be gotten from it.
A person without Christ find it difficult for him/her to conform to the will and image of Christ. It is tough but can be easy if we focus on the one thing – the love of God. The key is to find this God and love Him in truth and unconditionally.  Focus on God and on where we are going in life. There are so many distractions around us and if we allow ourselves to be held up by the distraction life would become difficult.

Our new year resolution should be to focus on God and on the things that would reflect the nature of God to the world.  In the book of Romans 8:31 Apostle Paul said, “What do we then say, if God be for us who can be against us?” If you love God key into the purpose of His will for you.
