Good News
by Paul Omoyefa
May the grace of God abound unto you always. Welcome to the month of December, the concluding step for this year. The theme for this month is GOOD NEWS. Undoubtedly, God is good, kind, loving, caring and deeply thoughtful. In October He told us that all the siege upon our lives was over and as a result of this, in November He decreed divine restoration of all lost grounds in our lives. When one is divinely restored, the only news that will come from one’s homestead is good news to all and sundry whether they know us or not because good news is another vehicle for divine advertisement while it also satisfies one’s soul in many ways. No wonder the says “As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country” (Proverbs 25:25). I decree into your life now a ceaseless flow of good news from all sources in Jesus name. It is not accidental that God declares unto us this month as the month of good news. The month of December every year usually commemorate the birth of our lord and saviour, Jesus Christ whose birth brings the greatest good news of salvation and great joy to the whole of mankind (Luke 2:10). The greatest corresponding responsibility we have regarding the birth of Jesus Christ is for us to spread the good news wherever we go. For the bible says “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” (Isaiah 52:7). Cascading from the greatest good news of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ is the attendant bountiful harvest of good news for all the children of God. The bible is replete with many people and nations whose situation of bad news were turned to permanent and indelible good news. For examples, it was such a bad news for Peter, a professional fisherman to fish all night and catch nothing but this bad news turned to good news within minutes when Jesus stepped into his boat as Peter’s experience of scarcity and frustration turned into abundance and fullness of joy (Luke 5:4-7). A bad news that brought out hot tears from the eyes of Hezekiah turned to good news within minutes of divine intervention (2Kings 20:1-6). Also, through divine direction and guidance, David’s bad news of losing his properties, wives and encouragement from his followers was turned to good news within hours (1 Samuel 30:1-20). It was bad news for the sons of prophets to lose axe head that was borrowed. However, with the intervention of Elisha, a genuine man of God, the natural law was suspended to turn the bad news to good news within few minutes (2 Kings 6:1-7). When the debtors threatened to take away the widow’s two sons because of debt it was a bad news but when she got the money to pay, through divine intervention bad news turned to good news (2 Kings 4:1-7). I decree an immediate end to any areas of your life that you have been experiencing bad news prior to this time in Jesus name. Is there a plan by anyone or group of people to abort your good news it will not succeed in Jesus name. The coming of Jesus Christ was a good news not only to his earthly parents but also to the entire world. King Herod wanted to kill and exterminate that good news before manifestation but he failed. Not that alone, many people especially the Pharisees and the Sadducee were eagerly awaiting bad news concerning Jesus Christ and his earthly ministry but this never happened. Instead, it was good news all the time. This shall be your portion in Jesus name. Everyone expecting bad news from your home concerning any member of your family or any area of your life will be disappointed in Jesus name. You are in for pleasant surprises of good news this month and beyond in Jesus name. Happy new month and wishing you good news-filled Christmas in advance.
