2009 was full of gloom and doom. Market crashes, foreclosures, political alignments, political re-alignments and the end of epic eras (the passing of Dr Oral Roberts for instance).

It is easy to get caught up in all this drama this season and focus on doing something for yourself. Put extra effort in giving yourself the treat you deserve…probably at the expense of others too. Let’s keep the reason for the season at the forefront of our minds this holiday. It’s all about Jesus and the gift of life He represents. What gift do you represent to your workmates, family and friends?

2010 will be the year of double grace and favor. For all the trouble you have had in 2009, God is setting you up for double restitution. It won’t fall on your lap though, you will need to be attentive to what He is doing and what He is saying to you. You will need to do a lot of work. In the first quarter of the year you will encounter your Jericho. If you don’t step out and do what God is asking you to do because you think it will look foolish, those walls will stare you down to the end of your days. Your rest shall come from obedience to God and what He asks of you. Step out in obedience, be willing to pay the price and see what Jehovah will do for you.

Have a very blessed Christmas and be a blessing to someone this season. May your 2010 be your best year yet.

From the House of Muchiri, to yours.
