2024 is the year we step out with a new theme, 'Conquer the Land'! God is calling us through this theme to 'Conquer the Promised Land' that God has provided as our inheritance. Is it possible that in our lives, something has been seized and occupied by the enemy? Whether in finances, relationships, illnesses, or we even see a spiritual crisis that is engulfing our youth today like a giant that is impossible to conquer. It is easy for us to conclude there is no way out, and give up becomes an option.
But God is calling us this year to be 'CONQUERORS' just as God called Joshua and the Israelites to conquer the Promised Land. Obedience to God's command led to their success, especially when they were willing to put their focus on following the Ark of God's Covenant (Joshua 3:3-4), then God led them!
In the same way, we will succeed in conquering the Promised Land for each of us, when we are willing to move with these 3 steps:
1. Focus on God: People who seek God's presence will find His favor.
2. Sanctify ourselves from all sin: The key to Israel's success was also determined by their hearts. So let's sanctify our hearts from every sin and rebellion, so that God will be pleased to give His blessings and favor (Isaiah 59:1-2).
3. Move according to His leading: God must be at the forefront of all our big plans. Wherever He wants to lead us, we want to obediently follow. We align our will with His will, then follow it.
Together with the CBN team, I invite every Partner to “Conquer the Land” together in 2024 and make it a year of victory for all of us!
Be ready to conquer the Promised Land!
