The beginning of a new year in this age means we are inundated with an incredible number of 'prophecies' and 'visions' from false prophets and deceivers who claim they have been given word from God. Their followers run with the lies with false hopes and expectations for another year, but live through the year unfulfilled and restless as they do not see the manifestation of the promises in their lives.
Some die and many will suffer a lot of hardship and difficulty through the year contrary to the promises they happily received at the beginning of the year, but none of them have the courage to challenge the authority that lied to them. They are often made to feel responsible for anything that goes wrong in their lives by their leaders who accuse them of lack of faith, inadequate financial giving, irregular attendance of the place of worship, insufficient adoration of the leader, and all sorts of foolish notions. These are disclaimers for the lying leader who continues to live in opulence from the proceeds of 'seeds' and 'offerings' their followers are compelled to deliver.
This is not a new phenomenon however, false prophets have always existed. It is the responsibility of a professing believer to search the Word of God for truth in order to know the will of God; for one thing God does not get excited nor send new promises for any new year, God is timeless.
There is only ONE way to be a Christian!
