MS: The New Year Message: Does it work?

Scripture Reference: Psalm 23:1,4-5 and Acts 13:43 KJV
You might have heard "a New Year Message" or declaration and decree "this is a year of this and that" may be a year of destiny or a year of breakthrough or a year of fulfilment or this is your year and then down the road, may be after 3 or 6 or 9 months nothing happen! The question is why? and does the New Year Message really work? If yes, how? and if not why? When the New Year Message does not work, usually there is something serious wrong even if the message was Rhema word or prophetic word or spiritual word.

For the New Year message to work successfully one must have spiritual balance. Any New Year brings with it negatives and positives things. It is wrong to say to people the positive things only and not inform them in case the worst happen how they should stand or defend or win. Barnabas and Paul were sent forth by the Holy Spirit to do special work but down the road they faced the enemy of the word of God and won because they were forewarned and forearmed (Acts 13:4-12). I think a New Year service is a time to give people godly strategies of how to win and work out whatever God's word it is.
