As we step into 2025, the call to remain committed and resolved echoes louder than ever. Grace Online Church has set the tone for the year with a powerful sermon by Bishop Ernest Jackson, inspiring believers to walk in faith, trust God’s plan, and position themselves for spiritual breakthroughs. This year, the focus is on staying steadfast, surrendering to God’s will, and embracing the transformative power of prayer and fasting.
Why Commitment and Resolve Matter in 2025
In a world filled with uncertainty, commitment and resolve are essential qualities that ground us in our faith. Bishop Jackson emphasized that being committed means staying loyal to God’s purpose, even when challenges arise. Resolve, on the other hand, represents a firm determination to continue pursuing God’s vision regardless of obstacles. This combination empowers believers to rise above adversity and walk confidently in God’s promises.
The sermon highlighted scriptures such as Romans 8:37 – “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” This verse serves as a reminder that victory is already within reach for those who remain steadfast.
The Power of Prayer and Fasting in 2025
One of the key takeaways from the sermon is the transformative impact of prayer and fasting. From January 13th to January 22nd, Grace Online Church will hold a 10-day fast led by Pastor Howard Lindsay, creating an opportunity for collective spiritual growth and alignment.
Fasting is not just about abstaining from food but about dedicating time to seek God’s guidance and strength. Through fasting, believers can break spiritual barriers, receive divine clarity, and experience God’s presence in profound ways. As Bishop Jackson noted, fasting is a form of surrender that opens the heart to hear from God clearly.
Key Scriptures to Reflect On
Bishop Jackson’s sermon drew from powerful scriptures to reinforce the message of faith and victory:
- 2 Timothy 3:16 – “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.”
- Mark 1:35 – “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed.”
- Hebrews 4:12 – “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword.”
These verses remind us that the Word of God is a powerful tool that strengthens faith and equips believers to face life’s challenges.
