2025 is God's year, not yours.
it’s that time of year again... new year, new resolutions, and endless vision boards. but as christians, are we submitting our plans to God? in this episode, i talk openly about dangers of claiming “2025 is my year” without first seeking God’s will.
we talk about the pride that fuels this mindset, how the enemy deceives us with goals that aren’t in alignment with God, and why true peace and joy can only come from walking in obedience to His plans.
this episode is all about humbling ourselves, submitting to God’s sovereignty, and being obedient when He calls us to act. don’t get to the end of 2025 in the same place you are now - let God lead your year.
*what i talk about:*
✨ why saying “this is my year” detaches us from God’s sovereignty
✨ how pride and worldly ambition can lead to spiritual stagnation
✨ recognising when your goals aren’t in alignment with God
✨ the role of obedience in walking into God’s purpose for your life
✨ how the enemy uses distraction and deception to pull us away from God
*scriptures i mention:*
1 corinthians 3:18-20 – "let no one deceive himself. if anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. for the wisdom of this world is folly with God."
proverbs 16:9 – "the heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."
psalm 37:4-5 – "delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act."
john 10:27 – "my sheep hear my voice, and i know them, and they follow me."
luke 11:28 – "blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it."
ephesians 3:20 – "now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us."
