Finishing the year well

In God’s creation, the passage of time is marked by days, months, seasons, and
years. We experience each interval, whether it’s twenty-four hours of a day, thirty
days of a month, or several months of a season, without interruption. Yet when
the year begins to wind down, we often feel surprised and wonder where the
days went. We lead busy lives, and it can be easy to simply let the year come to
an end without much thought or feeling. But setting aside a special time for
personal prayer with the Lord helps us conclude the year in a meaningful way
and prepare ourselves for the new year. This is what this novena is all about.
Reflecting on the Details of our Year
Taking time to reflect on the year we’ve just passed through is more than
worthwhile. As we consider the many ways the Lord cared for us, both materially
and spiritually, a sense of thankfulness will arise in our hearts. We’ll realize that in
both our difficult circumstances and joyous occasions, the Lord has been
constantly caring for us.
A verse in the Old Testament describes God’s faithfulness to us. Lamentations 3:22-
23 says:
“It is Jehovah’s lovingkindness that we are not consumed, for His compassions do
not fail; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”
Whether we were conscious of it or not, every morning, God’s tender
compassions met us afresh. Reflecting on the details of our year helps us see His
great faithfulness toward us, in matters big and small.
Allowing the Lord to shine on us
Setting aside time this way also gives the Lord the opportunity to speak to us
concerning any unconfessed sins. Sin always disrupts our fellowship with the Lord;
this is why we need to confess our sins to Him.
In 1 John 1:9, it says:
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
By confessing our sins, we can experience God’s forgiveness and cleansing. As
we open ourselves to His shining, the Lord will make us aware of any sins we need
to deal with. We don’t want to carry over anything that negatively affects our
walk with the Lord into the next year. Dealing with any unresolved sins will allow us
to begin the new year in a positive way.
Being refreshed in the Lord’s love
As we spend time to consider the Lord’s lovingkindness to us, His compassions,
and His faithfulness, we’ll surely realize how great His love is for us. His love even
caused Him to die for us so we can be forgiven and washed from our sins.
As we reflect on all the ups and downs of our year, we’ll realize He never stopped
loving us. This realization will cause us to love Him even more, and spontaneously
we’ll tell Him, “Lord Jesus, I love You.”
Offering a fresh consecration to the Lord
This time of intimate fellowship with the Lord is also when we can offer a new
consecration to Him. With a new year before us, we can give every aspect of
ourselves and our lives to Him. By consecrating ourselves to the Lord, we can be
kept walking in the Lord’s way, grow in His life, and allow God to work in us. Our
consecration also brings us into a fresh enjoyment of all that God is.
We can consecrate ourselves to the Lord by praying something simple like this:
“Lord Jesus, Thank You for all You’ve done for me. Thank You for your faithfulness
and Your love. Lord, I love You. I offer myself to You again. I give the new year to
You. I want to grow in You each day. Keep me in Your way. Lord, I allow You to
work in me this year.”
Learning to number our days
In Psalm 90, Moses spoke of the brevity of human life. In verse 12, he asked God:
“Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
May our fellowship with the Lord about this past year make us realize the
preciousness of each day. Each day of the new year before us is full of fresh
opportunities for us to know Him, grow in His life, enjoy Him in His Word, and
experience Him as the One who lives in us.
We pray that each of us would have a good conclusion to this year by spending
time with the Lord, and that in the new year we would all start with a fresh
consecration to the Lord. This novena offers us this chance. Let us do this 21 Days
journey together. God desires to hear from us. He wants to hear our heart and our
words.
1. Intimacy With Christ
Our highest calling is to grow in our knowledge of Christ and to make Him known
to others. Does our desire to know Christ exceed all other aspirations? If not,
whatever is taking His place in the center of our affections must yield to Him if we
are to know the joy of bearing spiritual fruit. A key secret of those who finish well is
to focus more on loving Jesus than on avoiding sin. The more we love Jesus, the
more we will learn to put our confidence in Him alone.
2. Fidelity In The Spiritual Disciplines
Spiritual disciplines such as prayer, fellowship, study, worship, and submission are
not ends in themselves, but means to the end of intimacy with Christ and spiritual
formation. When left to itself, however, any one of these disciplines tends to
decline and decay. An infusion of directed intentionality and effort is necessary
to sustain order and growth and to bring repeated times of personal renewal.
3. A Biblical Perspective on the Circumstances of Life
Part of the purpose of our suffering and trials is to drive us to dependence on God
alone. God responds by revealing more of Himself to us. This knowledge increases
our faith and our capacity to trust His character and His promises through the
times we do not understand His purposes and His ways. When we view our
circumstances in light of God’s character instead of God’s character in light of
our circumstances, we come to see that God is never indifferent to us, and that
He uses suffering for our good so we will be more fully united to Christ.
4. A Teachable, Responsive, Humble, and Obedient Spirit
Those who finish well maintain an ongoing learning posture through the seasons
of their lives. Humility and responsive obedience are the keys to maintaining a
teachable spirit.
Humility is the disposition in which we displace self through the enthronement of
Christ in our lives and realize that all of life is about trust in God. Obedience is the
application of biblical faith in that which is not seen, and that which is not yet. As
we mature in Christ, we learn to trust God’s character and promises in spite of
ambiguity or trials.
5. A Clear Sense of Personal Purpose and Calling
God has called each of us to a purposeful journey sustained by faithfulness and
growing hope. This calling or vocation transcends our occupations and endures
beyond the end of our careers. As we seek the Lord’s guidance in developing a
personal vision and clarity of mission, we move beyond the level of tasks and
accomplishments to the level of the purpose for which we were created.
6. Healthy Relationships with Resourceful People
Relationships such as spiritual mentoring, servant leadership, and personal and
group accountability are valuable resources that encourage, equip, and exhort.
People who finish well do not do so without the caring support of other growing
members of the body of Christ. These relationships help us to increase in intimacy
with Christ, maintain the needed disciplines, clarify our long-term perspective,
sustain a teachable attitude, and develop our purpose and calling.
7. Ongoing Ministry Investment in The Lives of Others
Spirit-filled living requires us to discover and develop the spiritual gifts we have
received and exercise them through the Spirit’s power for the edification of
others. Believers who finish well are marked by ongoing outreach and sacrificial
ministry for the good of other people.
Those who squander the resources, gifts, experiences, and hard-learned insights
God has given them by no longer investing them in the lives of others soon wither
and withdraw.
What does it take to finish well? How can we run in such a way that we can say
with Paul, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept
the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7; Acts 20:24; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27)? Taking to heart the
above seven characteristics will help you finish well day by day, as you “run with
endurance the race that is set before [you]” (Hebrews 12:1).
Hebrews 12:1 – Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a
cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.

Ecclesiastes 7:8 – Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the
patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

Zechariah 4:6-9 – Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word
of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit,
saith the Lord of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou
shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with
shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto
me, saying, The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his
hands shall also finish it, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me
unto you.
 OPENING PRAYER TO FINISH STRONG

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you help me finish strong. I
am so tempted to quit. It would be easy to drift to the end, but I want to glorify
you in all that I do, so please help me finish strong.
When I feel weak, please give me your strength. When I want to give up, please
put others in my life that will help me.
Jesus, thank you for finishing strong. You never gave up on us, you went to the
cross, bearing my sin, taking the place of my punishment because you loved me
so much. And you have promised to finish strong by returning one day, for this, I
am forever grateful.
Help me never forget what you have done for me and help me to finish strong.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Lord, I thank you for what you've done in 2021-2022. I acknowledge that you
provided for me and made a way when there was no way. I thank you for
teaching me and helping me to see the good even when things seemed bad. I

make me righteous. I ask that you would bless my sisters and brothers in the faith
as well.
I ask that you would awaken the prayer warriors across the globe. Thank you
Father that you are defeating every demonic plan for 2023 right now. Thank you
that you're canceling diseases, debts, and disasters. O' Lord, I am excited
because you go before us to defeat the enemy and he is fleeing as I pray. His
plan is being destroyed over marriages, children, households, jobs, finances,
hospitals, churches, neighborhoods, nations, and governmental system. Thank
you God for the blessings and favor you have in store. Thank you for the
opportunities to share the gospel and to share finances with others that have less
than me. Thank you for making me more concerned with holiness and spreading
the Gospel. I release selfishness. I release my wants and desires. Cleanse me of
fear and pride, so I can accept your help and humble myself before your mighty
throne. I accept your will Lord and I accept your higher desires for my life, this
world, and my family. I trust you and I will follow you all the days of my life. I love
you Abba. Amen.
BREAKTHROUGH IN LIFE PRAYER.
Faithful Father, thank you that you are the resurrection and the life, death holds
no power over you. The power that you used to conquer death now lives in me.
Use your miracle-working power to bring a breakthrough in my life. May I know
your all-conquering power, today, Lord. Hear my prayer. You have loved me and
have freed me from my sins by your blood. To you be glory and power forever
and ever. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
PRAYER FOR BLESSING AND FAVOR.
Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you that, on the basis of your merit, I have inherited a full,
abundant and eternal life. Awaken confidence in me that I may receive all the
blessings that you have prepared for me. In union with you, I ask for special favor
today. If it be your holy will, grant my request and fix my eyes upon you that I may
honor and glorify your name. In your glorious name, Amen.
PRAYER FOR GRACE.
Heavenly Father, thank you that you are my protector and provider. Your word
says that, to those who ask, it will be given, to those who seek, it will be found and
to those who knock, the door will be opened. Hear my prayer as I ask for a
breakthrough and for your power in my life, Lord. May the grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ be with my spirit. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
 FINAL DECLARATIONS.
O Lord, I praise, worship, honour and adore You for bringing me to the last month
of the year. I exalt and glorify your holy name for all the battles You fought for me
this year. Thank You for being on my side since the year began. Thank You for
carrying me through all the fires and rivers of affliction that have come my way
this year. Blessed be Your Holy name.
I decree and declare that in this last month of the year, no weapon fashioned
against me and my family shall prevail. We shall not end the year weeping,
wailing and in sorrow. My life and the lives of members of my family and church
shall not be cut short. We shall not be victims of end of the year tragedies and
calamities.
I decree and declare that I shall end this year in Christ and with Christ. Powers that
dry up people’s spiritual lives, powers that dry up spiritual virtues and the anointing
of God shall not see me this month. I shall not end the year spiritually dry and
empty. I shall not end the year wearing filthy garments. I shall not end the year
defiled, contaminated and polluted. I strip off every garment of sin from my life. I
receive grace to please, honour and glorify the Lord in all I do this month. The Lord
will anoint me afresh, the Spirit of the Lord shall fill my life and I will end the year
doing exploits for God.
My steps shall be ordered by the Lord this end of the year. The Lord shall lead me
in paths of righteousness. I shall not take a step that will take me away from God
or truncate my destiny. I shall not fall into the net, trap or pit the enemy has
prepared for me.
I decree and declare based on the Word of the Lord that the end of a matter is
better than its beginning that I am ending this year better than I started it. There
shall be improvement, lifting and progress in my life as the year draws to an end.
I decree and declare that now is God’s set time to favour me. The Lord shall be
gracious and compassionate to me this month. God’s favour opens doors for me
this last month of the year. God’s favour brings humanly impossible testimonies
into my life. God’s favour keeps the voice of weeping and the sound of crying far
away from me and my family. The favour of God will cause my prayers to be
heard and answered this month.
I decree and declare that I shall end this year well. I shall end this year singing a
new song. I shall end this year with laughter in my mouth. I shall end this year with
something to celebrate about and something to testify about. I shall end this year
at a level my enemies never expected I could get to and with a blessing that will
shock and depopulate the kingdom of darkness.
