New Year message from the Diocesan Bishop of The Anglican Diocese of the Trinity (ADOTT) The Rt Rev Dr Olukayode Adebogun
January 01, 2025
To all ADOTT Clergy, Laity &
The Christian Faithful
Dearly Beloved in Christ,
Re: 2025 New Year Message
Hallelujah! The Lord has done it again. We return all glory to God for the privilege and the grace to witness another year. 2025 is here. To God be the glory. On behalf of myself, as your Servant leader and Diocesan of this Diocese, the Diocesan Board, Mama ADOTT, the Clergy and the Laity of this growing Diocese, we wish you a happy new year filled with hope and joy for tomorrow.
The Lord has laid upon our heart this year something very special from two passages of the Scriptures as our theme for 2025. 3 John 2, it says, Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health even as your soul prospers. The second passage is in Joel chapter 2, verse 25, that I will restore to you the years that the locusts have eaten, the cankerworm and the caterpillars, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. The Lord wants to do something great in this Diocese in 2025. The Holy Spirit is laying upon our heart with very strong conviction that lives are going to transformed, there will be healing and deliverance. There will be divine breakthrough and that all our churches in 2025 are going to witness the fingers of God. That this year shall truly be our year of restoration and healing.
I therefore as your servant leader declare that 2025 shall be a year of DIVINE RESTORATION AND HEALING in the name of God the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Let me remind you of our popular hymn,
The Great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus!
Refrain:
Sweetest note in seraph song;
Sweetest name on mortal tongue;
Sweetest carol ever sung:
Jesus, blessed Jesus!
The Lord is with us. In this new year he will bring about Divine Restoration and Divine Healing, because Jesus is here and his presence is with us.
As you go into the new year, expect a touch from God, expect healing from God, expect restoration in every aspect of your life. I say to you, 2025 shall truly be your year of Divine Restoration and Healing, in the name of Jesus.
May the Lord bless and keep you; may the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you, that the God of heaven will lift up his light of countenances upon you and grant you peace, restoration, healing all around, and the blessings of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Be and remain with you, now and always. Amen. Happy New Year.
Your brother and Bishop,
The Rt. Rev Dr. Olukayode Adenola Adebogun
Diocesan Bishop, ADOTT
