Here we are again, at the end of an old Year 2025, and standing on the threshold of a New Year 2026. Every Year, events transpire that forever changes the world, and 2025 has impacted the world and our lives in ways that is quite difficult to explain. But amidst the upheavals and difficulties, our God have been the stabilizing factor upon our lives and ministry. As always, this is a great time to pause and to reflect over the years. I have learnt that yearly reflections provide an opportunity to pause, to reflect, and to look at different ways in which we can grow. Every New Year is a time ripe with anticipation and expectation. It can be a spiritually purifying time of reflection that offers hope for change, and an invitation for us to make new choices for the future. It helps us to see the blessings and the challenges we have experienced, and to be filled with gratitude to our great God and King. Looking back also fills us with thanksgiving for the things we sometimes take for granted.
As you reflect on the past year, you will be absolutely amazed at all that God has accomplished in your life and the ministry to which you have been called. In this rare moment of reflection and honest self-assessment, we can admit our failures and our victories. We can pledge to learn from them and move forward towards a more rewarding future. Making plans for the New Year can be a time filled with great enthusiasm and hope when we turn to the One who makes it possible, and who truly makes all things new, Jesus Christ our Lord. The passing of one year to the next is universally marked by a period of reflection concerning the year passed and a pledge to begin anew, and to make changes for the year ahead. This is because we all long to be made new, and intuitive. We all know that means there needs to be changed within before we can experience change around us. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Philippians 3:13, that we need to be determined and motivated to “Forget the things which lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead.” The past is not relevant; what matters is making the maximum effort in the present so as to sustain the momentum in the future. We need to tretch ourselves and press towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
We cannot live on past victories, nor should we allow ourselves to be crippled by past failures. This is a New Day, a New Year, let us lay aside all hindrances and be willing to say, “That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead” (Phil 3:10-11). May this New Year 2026 fuel your Spiritual Ambition and bring Newness that is available in Christ Jesus. One of the most rewarding ways to begin the New Year of 2026 is with Prayer and Fasting. I would like to invite you and your congregation to join with the Global Church family with the theme: “On Mission: Praying Together.” This Global Prayer Initiative will begin January 5-25, 2026. The Mid-Atlantic Region will be “Praying Together,” on January 24, 2026, at 7pm via Zoom. Additional information forth coming. Please continue to pray for those who are sick and have lost loved ones.
Some of you would remember Bishop Mario Gandia and his wife Naomi Gandia who served the COGOP and this Region for over 30yrs. Bishop Gandia went to be with the Lord on December 24, 2025. Please remember Sister Gandia and family in your prayers. Information about his memorial and burial services can be found on our website, macogop.org.
On behalf of my wife and I, we would like to wish you a very Blessed and Favorable New Year!
“The Lord bless you, and Keep you; The Lord makes His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.”
