    About this ebook

    This book encourages Christians to recognize that the trials and challenges we face are not for our detriment or discouragement but for Gods glory, so that His Son may be glorified through them. Often when we face crisis and trials, we focus on issues that can distort our perception of ourselves, the situation, and Gods ability to work on our behalf. A negative perception coupled with our experiences can create barriers against the power of God in our lives. This book encourages individuals to stand strong and trust God through the process and to overcome fears, anxieties, and unbelief.

    This is your greater year! is a roadmap of hope for hope and faith. It highlights guiding principles and positive prayers that can help us navigate the storms of life to avoid being shipwrecked or consumed. It suggests an alternative understanding of journeying, of waiting on the Lord, and attests that delayed is not denied. The book also highlights the pivotal nature of prayer and praise with the knowledge that God is faithful to that which He has promised. A key guiding principle is to remain persistent toward purpose, trusting God to birth a new thing in your life and bless you with an abundant harvest, changing your season. It encourages Christians to be expectant, awaiting change with the understanding that staying strong and trusting in the Lord will produce dividends and move the Master to work on our behalf to turn things around.

    Get ready to live your greater year and life now!

      Prophetess Pastor Hazel Richards, Senior Pastor of Foundation Life Church, Couva, Trinidad and Tobago

      This is Your Greater Year; a heartfelt journey of promise fulfillment, causing every facet of its divinely ordained dimension to open up the reader’s inert ability to produce the ordained will of the Father. This book brings definition to those who have attended church all their lives and remained without a clear understanding of life’s journey in God. It acts as a compass directing them towards their purpose, identity and advancement to become like Him through perplexed changes and seasons of adversity.

      This is Your Greater Year draws from strong spiritual principles as it explores the dynamics and dimensions of one’s journey through careful accurate application of spiritual understanding. It is therefore a distinct powerful tool, one that enables you to surmount and understand every season you may encounter and to deal adequately with the challenges it brings. It sensitizes the readers to landmarks they must observe along the way and will assist those who currently are in the throes of this mystifying journey, providing them with a clear sense of direction for the future.

      Miracle Reed, Associate Pastor, Timbers Community Church, Prince George, Canada

      This Is Your Greater Year! speaks volumes to all those men and women who have been waiting for the manifestation of God’s promises and have yet to see them come to pass. This book captures the essence of God’s heart in relation to His children and is a breath of fresh air for all those who have lost sight of the light at the end of the tunnel. Reading this book, I experienced every possible emotion, and I believe that within it many will find deliverance from cycles, will rekindle passion and excitement, and will gain a new heart for the things of God. This Is Your Greater Year! offers more than spiritual motivation. It pushes you beyond a mindset that has been stuck settling for less and awakens you! The transparency shared is bound to remove layers and destroy walls. This is a must read, guaranteed to shift your thinking and redirect you on the path to God’s promises.

      To Gloria Baptiste, my beloved mother: You have made my experience as a daughter pleasurable. You are indeed an example of what a mother should be. You are a woman of excellence, prayer, and great faith. I dedicate this book to you and women like you.

      In memory of my father, Kelvin Baptiste: I dedicate this book to you as a man who pursued knowledge.

      To my brothers and sisters, Ray, Casian, Kevin, Camille, and Maurice: I give God praise for your lives.

      To my nieces and nephews, Phoebe, Kevin Jr., Ceziah, Kefentse, Jeremy, Kaia, Luke, and Keima: You all bring joy to my life. Continue to love the Lord and grow in excellence.

      PREFACE

      In Him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will. 

      —Eph. 1:11.

      This Is Your Greater Year! A Journey of Waiting on God’s Promises is my response to the season of life that I now face. My book speaks to faith and movement toward our destiny. It is up to us to take action with prayer and strategic movement toward our purpose.

      The book addresses the notion that with God all things can be turned around, that through faith we can be optimistic that God is faithful to His promises. We all face lots of daily challenges that result in uneasiness and foreboding in the world. With God’s grace, we have made it through, but the believer’s heart must be encouraged in a time like this. This book deals with the crises, trials, and hopeless situations that believers face and suggests ways of overcoming them with supportive scriptures and positive prayers.

      It also provides the reader with the opportunity for reflective journaling at the back of the book based on the topic discussed. It challenges us to perceive ourselves and our situations differently, drawing on prayer, faith, praise, joy, and peace as we wait on God’s promises to be released in our lives while we remain persistent in our purpose. We are reminded of the importance of journeying, of waiting on the Lord, that delay doesn’t mean denial, and how to praise our way through situations. We are reminded that prayer changes things, that we should remain steadfast toward our goal, that God is faithful to His promises concerning us, that He is God of the new thing and Lord of the harvest. Once we trust in Him, we
