Foreword
On the first day of the first month of the first year, the voice of God speaks to us: “Let us go quickly! Towards the bright morning!”
For our Lord has come to awaken the sleeping souls at dawn. Therefore, I hope you have the faith that says, “I must meet the Lord.”
The morning of hope is fulfilled at the moment we receive the Light of life. The rays of that morning of hope are coming toward us. John 8:12 and 1:1–5 shows us that the morning our souls long for is Jesus Christ Himself. We must remember that the point of grace where we meet the Lord is the morning of hope. I pray that for my nation, my church, and my people, the place where they meet Christ will truly become the morning of hope.
The night of extreme poverty, the night filled with worry and anxiety, the night that does not go as you wish—may all these pass, and may you go to Jesus Christ, to the holy morning where all your hopes and prayers are granted. Leave behind the night of all suffering, affliction, pain, and disease, and meet the morning filled with strong light, God’s work, and abundant blessing. Leave behind the night of discouragement, despair, and failure, and may this year be one in which the morning of hope and success comes, a year filled with the blessing of “casting the net on the right side of the river, relying on the Word; and it will not tear.”
Leave behind this world, this night of Sodom and Gomorrah, covered with all kinds of lawlessness, unbelief, unrighteousness, and ignorance… and run to Jesus Christ, the glorious morning of resurrection where the Sun of Righteousness shines. Leave behind the night of this world’s dark powers, the night of Satan, the night of Babylon, and the night of Egypt. Go and meet the glorious morning. May you receive what you ask for, and may you meet the morning God gives.
