Tips for the New Year

“…reaching forth unto those things which are before.”—Philippians 3:13

As we enter the New Year, here are twelve practical tips that will help make 2013 a year of victory in your life:

1. Travel light (Phil. 3:13). Shed the excess baggage of past defeats, failures, and disappointments. Determine to live each day for the Lord.
2. Forgive and love your enemies (Mk. 11:25; Luke 6:47). Carrying a grudge only gets heavier the longer you carry it.
3. Read your Bible everyday (Acts 17:11).
4. Don’t worry (Phil. 4:6). Face your challenges with prayer and faith in God.
5. Be liberal in your giving (Prov. 11:25).
6. Rejoice evermore (1 Thess. 5:16)
7. Pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17)
8. Give thanks in all things (1 Thess. 5:18).
9. Get as much preaching as you can (1 Thess. 5:20; Heb. 10:25).
10. Take some time to relax (Mk. 6:31).
11. Take care of your body (1 Cor 6:19-20). Live a healthy lifestyle. Watch your diet.
12. Live each day anticipating Christ’s coming (Titus 2:13).

May 2013 will be your greatest year for the Lord so far.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
