5 Promises for 2016 - Received on 31 December 2015

5 Promises for 2016 – Received on 31

 December 2015

The Lord gave me this 5 promises on the 

last day of 2016. I was reading the last 

chapter of the last book of the Bible on the 

last morning watch of 2015 and the promises

came clearly from Revelation 22. 

Although it was the last chapter of the last 

book of the Bible, it was exploding with great 

promises for my life for the new year! 

So it was actually proclaiming the promises 

of a new beginning for me.

Simply awesome....so I prayed it out for

myself and for the church...

1.   Flowing with rivers of the water of life

Revelation 22:1

“And he showed me a pure river of water of 

life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the 

throne of God and of the Lamb.”

John 7:38 “He who believes in Me, as the 

Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow 

rivers of living water”

LORD JESUS I pray that this year the pure 

river of the water of life will flow out from me 

clear as crystal nourishing not only myself but

also all of my family members. Amen.

2.   Fruit from the tree of life every day for the next 12 months of 2016

Revelation 22:2

“In the middle of its street, and on either side 

of the river, was the tree of life, which bore 

twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every 

month. The leaves of the tree were for healing

of the nations”

Revelation 22:14

“Blessed are those who do His 

commandments that they may have the 

right to the tree of life, and may enter

through the gates of the city”

Psalm 1:2-3

“but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in

His law he meditates day and night. He shall

be like a tree planted by the rivers of water 

that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose

leaf also shall not wither, and whatever he 

does shall prosper”

LORD JESUS I pray that this year, I will grow

the tree of life in the garden of my life by 

meditating on the Word of God. May I bear 

fruit every month (fruit of souls, fruit of 

disciples) and may the leaves of the tree of 

life bring healing to the nations/people 

groups that you bring me in touch with. Amen.

Things that hinder us from enjoying the 

fruit of the tree of life:

Revelation 22:15

“But outside are dogs and sorcerers and 

sexually immoral and murderers and 

idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie”

In order to enjoy the fruit of the tree of life, we

need to consciously forsake every filthiness or

uncleanness (“dogs), selfishness or pride 

(“sorcerers”), sexual immorality, murders 

(“anger, bitterness, hatred towards another

person is almost like murdering the other 

person”)*, putting other things as more

important than God (“idolaters”) and lying 

(“whoever loves and practices a lie”)

*Matthew 5:21-22

“You have heard that it was said to those of 

old, “You shall not murder and whoever 

murders will be in danger of the judgment.” 

But I say to you that whoever is angry with his

brother without cause shall be in danger of 

the judgment….”

LORD JESUS help me to forsake all sin and 

iniquity, strongholds of the mind that seek to

disqualify me from enjoying the fruit of the 

tree of life. Amen.

3.   Fellowship with God face to face

Revelations 22:4

“They shall see His face, and His name shall

be on their foreheads.”

LORD JESUS may I always see your face 

and bear Your name on my foreheads. May I 

hunger and thirst after You every day of 2016.

Amen.

4.   Full of the hope of His second coming

Revelations 22:12

“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My 

reward is with Me, to give to every one 

according to His wok. I am the Alpha and the

Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First 

and the Last”

LORD JESUS fill me with a awesome sense of destiny. I long and yearn for your second coming. Prepare me and my church to be pure and holy as the Bride of Christ. Amen.

5.   Fully dependent on the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ

Revelations 22:21

“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with

 you all. Amen"

LORD JESUS I need YOUR GRACE to be all 
of the above in 2016. Pour forth YOUR GRACE more and more in my life and the lives of my family members and the church of the Lord Jesus Christ where You have planted me. Amen.
