As we work together in IBC for greater achievement in 2016, let us admonish ourselves with these Bible passages to help us do God’s will to please Him who has called us to His work:I Thessalonians 5:14 and following say “And we urge you, brothers admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”Likewise, in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, the word of God says “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him – a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”Let us work together to achieve more!

The end of one year and the beginning of another is usually an opportunity to look back to what has been and to look forward to what can be. As much as we try not to remember our mistakes and failures and be soaked with guilts and fears, such can help us positively if we can learn a lesson or two that will make us avoid such mistakes.The beginning of another year can bring us new hope as well as new apprehensions. We must, therefore, hold on to the teachings of the Bible that say “Ask and you shall receive, Seek and you shall find and Knock and the door shall be opened unto you” (Matt 7:7).A proud man never asks for anything but the humble man will ask (not as a begger) as one who shows that no man is self-sufficient. To Seek will demand time as well as strength and energy. The best thing to Seek to do in 2016 is to please the LORD. Brethren, life is never totally peaceful, it is an ongoing process. We shall encounter changes in many areas of our lives. But God is constant. Let us yield to God completely. Trusting Him in every situation of our existence.Our theme for 2016 is “My Year of Deliberate Witnessing.” Try all you can to key in so that it will not just be a slogan. I pray that we all will Seek God’s Kingdom first and His righteousness that we may reign with Christ at the end.
