How do we enter into a new song

1. Being Born Again – Acts 3:19; 2 Corinthians 5:17

Your new song starts by accepting the finished work of calvary by Jesus Christ. In my few years of serving the Lord and being a committed adherent of Jesus Christ, many people are in church not a Christian but as a church goer. 

The greatest song anyone can sing is the song of salvation—deliverance from the power of darkness into the kingdom of the dear Son of God – Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:13).

Nothing can be better in the life of person than being free from the oppressive dominance of Satan into the freedom of and in Jesus.

Today, I want someone hearing me to acknowledge their sin, ask for forgiveness from God, accept the grace of salvation through the finished work of Jesus and accept Jesus into their life.

The song of salvation supersedes anything one could wish for on earth. This song will continue in eternity in the presence of God when we shall reign with Jesus forever.

2. Knowledge of God’s Will – Hosea 4:6

One of the difficult things in life is knowing God’s perfect will for one’s life. The book of Proverbs says in chapter 25 and verse 2 says: “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of Kings is to search out a matter.”

Do you know that by the new birth, you are a king? Revelation 1:5 - 6, “and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” It is to your honor to figure out what God has in store for you as a king. 

Many people are having a hard time in entering the season of their new song because they could not search out the secrets of God. “The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant.” (Psalms 25:14 NKJV)

Joseph knew the plans of God for his life. He was going to be head above shoulders to his brothers and when he became what God said about him, he sang a beautiful song in Genesis 41:51 and 52 when he called the name of his first son Manasseh (“God has made me forget all my toils and my father’s house”) and called his second son, Ephraim (“God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction”).

I speak over someone today that you will begin to sing like Joseph as God will perform miracles in your life that will make you forget your toils, the wickedness of your father’s house, and make you fruitful in this land in Jesus name.

Joseph knew the plan of God and when he got there, he knew he was where God wanted him be.                                                                                          

The fulness came when his brothers bowed before him: “So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him. Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them,” (Genesis 42:8-9 NKJV)

Listen and listen carefully, no demon in hell and person on earth can cancel the plan of God for your life. Just stay on the Lord and He shall bring it to pass, and you will sing a new song.

3. Patient Waiting – Psalm 40:1

From the anchor scripture in verse 1, David said, “I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.”

From Biblical account, we understand that David was introduced to the stage at age 17 when he was anointed from a group of 8 siblings. He was enthroned in Hebron at 30 years old and in Jerusalem at 37 years, and he reigned for 40 years (2 Samuel 5:4 – 5).

So, he waited for 13 years for partial fulfilment and 20 years before the full fulfilment of God promises over his life.

There is always a waiting period in the things of God. The problem we have is our understating of time. As human we understand time in Chronology while God is outside time and space. 

God in His infinite mercy and Omnipotence gives us the Kairos time which compensates for the Chronos we thought we’ve lost.

Joseph waited 13 years to stand before Pharaoh but 22 years after  his brothers began to bow before him in full reality of his childhood dream.

David said that he waited until God drew him out of the horrible pit and the miry clay and planted his feet upon immovable rock.

You are going to sing your new song, but you must wait for God. The Bible says that God “He has set the right time for everything. He has given us a desire to know the future, but never gives us the satisfaction of fully understanding what he does.” (Ecclesiastes3:11 GNT)

Time will not permit me that talk about the waiting of Abraham and Sarah (25 years), Elizabeth and Zechariah until their old age for their new song, but it came at the time when Jesus would be born.

The Bible says that the vision is for an appointed time: “For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.” (Habakkuk 2:3 NKJV)

4. Obedience to God – Deuteronomy 28:1 - 13

There are many whose new song will only happen when their finances change. They have been under the yoke of poverty and ridicule. Poverty brings ridicule.

Many were born into poverty and doesn’t know how to get out of it. Your story is changing today in the name of Jesus!

Your breakthrough from lack is in the Bible. Knowing that it is the plan of God to give you life in its abundance (John 10:10).

The plan of God is to give His children a life full of good things, but it is predicated on obedience to His words.

If you want to sing your new song, you must decide to become an obedient child of God. The Bible is replete with blessings and curses (Deuteronomy 30:19).. We enter the blessings if take heed to what the Lord says.

James 1:25 talks about getting blessed by doing what the word of the Lord commands. You end a life of struggle and painful song by diving into the word of God. 

You want a new song, begin to follow the word of the Lord. It will knit you with the mind of God.

One of the things that ends poverty is diligence. Your diligence in following the Lord and in your business (Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 13:4; 22:29)

5. Faith – Romans 4:17 – 21

At 99 years and 89 years, Sarah was medically unable to conceive. She was not just menopaused, she had Meno stopped. But Abraham still took a shot at the word of God in going into Sarah with faith that Sarah will conceive the promised child. 

The currency in the kingdom of God is faith. If you cannot believe God for what He promised, you cannot sing a new song.

The word of always speak contrary to your situation. God told Gideon that he was a mighty man of valor when he was hiding from the Midianites. He rejected what the Lord said initially but later developed faith to enter a new life of victory over the enemies of Israel.

6. Prayer – Philippians 4:6 – 8; Psalm 2:8; Matthew 7:7

If you want to change your story, you must be ready to pray until something happens. 

Despite the wicked taunting and vexation of Peninnah, Hannah didn’t stop following Elkanah to Shiloh. She kept praying until she got in contact with the man of God and got a blessing on her prayers.

Prayer solves problems and if you are tired of singing your old song and desires a new one you have to pray in the name of Jesus

The Lord has spoken that May is our *Month of New Song. *

“He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord.”(Psalms 40:3NKJV).

The experiences of the past that led to songs of despair, uncertainty, and impossibility is over. 

God is bringing help wherever it’s needed, he is going to turn impossibilities around to joyous experience, and victory wherever there is a despairing battle.

You will begin to sing songs of praise and thanksgiving because of the mighty works that the good Lord will perform in your life this May.
