2012 is gone, another year is here again, 2013, and by God's special grace we are able to see the new year. So many people lost out in the battle of life last year, rich, affluent, popular, poor, wealthy, oppressed, none of their status was able to save them from going, so always be thankful to God for keeping you to see 2013 because its not by your making; believe it or don't.

This piece is basically written to guide, inspire and help you to achieve those goals and resolutions you have for this 2013, and I promise you without doubt that if you can do what I am about to tell you here, you will achieve those goals. Remember, they are sacrifice, so be ready cos its not gonna be easy.

You have written down your goals and targets- the things you want to achieve this 2013, but I want to tell you that you may or may not achieve them, but if you follow this principle, you must achieve them. Yes, I said MUST, so dare it.

What is that principle? It is no other thing but GOING INTO A COVENANT WITH God YOUR MAKER.

I don't care what you do right now or what you had been doing in the past, all I care now is that you need to go into a covenant with God to achieve those impossible goals you have.

You may be saying in your heart- did James had any covenant with God before he became the manager of great gas oil co plc? Did Jane made covenant with God before she got married to that her wonderful husband? Did Richard made any covenant before he became a star? Yes, looking at the celebrity news and lifestyles; seeing teens and youths making millions and buying houses, you feel like- why am I even wasting time being righteous when all these people living immoral life are prospering big time, but wait!

We are different, so its our destinies. Jabez came into this world in pains, nothing to lay hands upon, he cried unto God to please change his story and God did. Jacob was a cheat, in fact a fraudster but yet God chose to favour him right from his mother's belly. Some people you see succeeding today are succeeding out of the covenant their parents or grandparents had with God, so don't follow other people and their life, live your life with Christ as your role model.

Do you know why you need to make a covenant with God this year? God can overlook every other thing, but He doesn't play with covenant if you keep it.

Another thing that moves God is praise, so whenever you can't pray, praise God and watch out.

Now to the topic- going into covenant with God to achieve your life goals.

Before you go into this covenant, you must first forsake entirely your past sins/immoralities and unclean lifestyles. It is hard, but you must strive to achieve this, yes you can if you determine to. First, confess your sins to God, cry out and pour out your evil doings to Him in your room, office, etc, chose a quiet hour if possible, read psalm 51, and then sing unto God, praise Him like you had never done before.

If you have any instrument- guitar, piano, etc, play it and sing and cry honestly to God. After that, you will experience peace in your innermost heart, this will guarantee you that God has returned His holy spirit in you, so you can now go into the covenant.

As a youth, the most common sins we commit are- pre-marital sex, lies, alcohol abuse, immoral use of words (I.e use of vulgar words), jealousy, cheating. So go into covenant with God that:


1. You will never have pre-marital sex again until you get legally/traditionally married. This include abstinence from- physical sex, oral, word-to-word sex as practised on the internet by youths, and every other form of sex display or act.

2. Covenant of no more lying no matter the situation, no more being jealous of others, no more cheating (exam, etc), etc

And in exchange, ask God to grant you your heart desire; table it faithfully before God, you can write it down, maybe get a Bible, a new one and place it in it, and keep the Bible safe somewhere you will always see, and not tamper. Don't make a long list, be specific with your desires.

As a married person, you will need the covenant of:
1. No more cheating (sex-wise, financially, morally, etc)
2. Covenant of faithfulness and care to your spouse.
3. No more lying, deceit, envy, jealousy and greed.

Do same as for single youths.

After you have done this, seal it a prayer, get a new red ribbon, tie the Bible up and keep safely.

Now, your work is not done, if you had not been going to church, find a good bible believing church and start worshipping with them committed. Identify fully and don't be a sunday-sunday goer, this is to keep your faith alive cos you can't stand alone.

Make out time to study your Bible at least once a day, pray always, even if you can't pray or don't know what to pray, say- Lord I thank you for giving me life today, I love you, help me to love you more and be with me always. Thank you for in jesus christ name I pray, amen.

If you do this and by april, something extraordinary did not happen in your life, come back here and shame me. God bless us all, and may He help us achieve our goals this year.


Finally, before you start the covenant, you need to fast to prepare your mind, heart, soul, body, soul and spirit. Fast like 3 days, 6am - 6pm. Then start.

This is an extraordinary principle to challenge God. Try it and watch out. Whatever it is that had been bordering you, that thing that had made you to be shading secret tears and you cannot tell anyone. That thing that you desire so much and you have tried and it seems nothing is happening, if you try this, you must surely get it soon! I am certain about this.

Don't let anyone deceive you, covenant with God works like magic if you keep it cos God is a covenant keeping God. He can ignore other things but not covenant.

Finally, after you are done with the covenant, please make sure that you keep it. Make a time-frame when you want to hear from God. The next thing you need to do is SOW A SEED as witness.

You mustnt sow the seed in a church, but make sure you sow it in a- bible believing church through the man of God, an orphanage home, prison, hospital, rehab center, or to a destitute or very needy person.

Note: the see you will sow must pinch you, it must be something you cherish or something that must touch you; your whole salary, last pocket money, whole profit, a treasured something, etc. Don't sow a seed that you can do comfortably if you want speedy answer from God. Go extreme and challenge God and watch out.

When you try this, come back and testify either here, in your church, family, etc, but pls don't fail to testify and thank God.
