20 things that you should do in 2020 (Part 1)




1. Start each day with Prayer and fellowship with God the Father. What you do first everyday is your utmost priority. Honor God by putting Him first everyday. Prayer is an expression of humility and
dependence on God. Imitate Jesus and become a man or woman of daily prayer. See Psalm 5:1-3; 63:1; Mark 1:35; Luke 6:12

2. Read your Bible everyday, If possible with the guide of a daily devotional. God’s Word has cleansing power. It cleanses your mind and strengthens your faith. Start your day each morning with the Word to set the tone and direction of your mind for that day. See Romans 10:17; Psalm 119:9,11,97-100; Ephesians 5:25; John 15:3; 8:30-32

3. Read a chapter in Proverbs everyday. A chapter in Proverbs is a training in wisdom. Whenever you increase the measure of your wisdom, your quality of life and your decision making improves. The real issue in our lives are wisdom issues. See Proverbs 1:1-7; 1:22-33; 3:13-24; 8:1-21. Pray the following Scriptures everyday: Ephesians 1:17; Colossians 1:9; Philippians 1:9.

4. Do something good for someone everyday. Good deeds have a way of coming back to us in bigger and greater proportions. Be generous. Sow a good seed into someone’s life everyday. Make it a habit. Consistent giving leads to consistent receiving. See Proverbs 11:24-25; Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 9:6-8; Galatians 6:6-10

5. Win twenty souls in the year 2020. 2020 is a year of harvest. Give God something to remember by becoming an intentional and avid soul winner. We are all called to win souls. Ask God for the boldness and the wisdom to win souls. Soul winning is a refreshing exercise. See Proverbs 11:30; John 4:34-38; James 5:19-20

6. Declare what you want to see manifested in your life everyday before you step out into your day. The words we speak create the future we see. Use your mouth to make your year beautiful. Deliberately and diligently speak what you desire to see in 2020 everyday. See Isaiah 57:19; Proverbs 18:20-21; 13:2-3; Mark 11:22-24

7. Read at least one good book every week. Whenever you upgrade your mind, you upgrade your life because your life is always a reflection of the contents of your mind. See Proverbs 23:7; 23:23; Job 8:7-10 MSG

8. Spend time with your family. Time with family cannot be overemphasized. You can only expect returns from where you make investments. God wants you to be an all round success. That includes family. See Genesis 18:19 MSG; Isaiah 58:7 MSG; Titus 2:4-5; 1 Timothy 3:4-5 AMPC

9. Set new and challenging goals. Be clear about what you want to achieve. Clarity inspires. The greater your clarity, the greater your motivation and your drive to pursue your goals. See Proverbs 29:18; Nehemiah 2:1-6 MSG; Joshua 14:6-12

10. Watch what you say. Your words can make or break you. Your words can attract people to you or keep people away from you. Fill your words with love and rich biblical content to make them a blessing whenever you speak. See Ephesians 4:28 MSG; Matthew 12:34-37 MSG; Proverbs 15:23; 12:14

11. Be actively involved or engaged in Church services and activities. There’s a reward for service in the kingdom of God. So find ways to be a blessing to your Church. See Exodus 23:25-26; Galatians 5:15; Hebrews 10:24-25; Colossians 3:24.

12. Maintain a grateful heart and a grateful attitude. Keep a gratitude journal. Write down everyday what you are grateful for. Thank God every day for the good things of life and every little thing God does for you. See 1 Thessalonians 5:18; Ephesians 5:20; Psalm 69:30-31; Colossians 4:2

13. Cultivate the spirit of excellence. Excellence is doing all that you do with first class attitude. If you put your best into life, you will get the best out of life. See Daniel 6:3; Proverbs 12:24; 13:4; 1 Corinthians 9:24-26

14. Add value to someone’s life everyday. Be a dynamic influence everywhere you go by leaving each person better than the way you found them. See Hebrews 10:24 NLT; Matthew 4:19

15. Schedule time to rest and relax. Working without resting will sabotage your effectiveness. When you rest, you are recharged to come back more powerfully than ever. See Exodus 23:12; 31:12-17;

16. Cultivate a joyful spirit. Learn to laugh at yourself sometimes. Laughter oxygenates your blood. Don’t tolerate sadness or depression. Learn to focus on the good in life. See Proverbs 15:13; 17:22; 12:25.

17. Listen to the Word everyday. Listen to messages that build you up spiritually and strengthen you. Be intentional about your spiritual growth. See Galatians 4:1-2; 1 Peter 2:2-3; Romans 10:17; John 8:30-32

18. Meditate on the Word everyday. Habitual meditation is one of the keys to a healthy, fulfilling and successful life. Meditation will impact your spirit, increase your peace and program you for success. See Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:2-3; Psalm 119:97-100; Isaiah 26:3; 1 Timothy 4:15

19. Be loving. Make love one of your watchwords for 2020. The more loving you are, the healthier you will be. Be quick to forgive. Love and Forgiveness are the attributes of the strong. If you develop your love life, you won’t have to worry about your character. See John 13:34-35; 15:12-13; 1 John 3:14-19; 1 Corinthians 13:1-8; Galatians 5:13

20. Work on increasing your competence on your job. Become better at what you do. Become better than what you were yesterday. Challenge yourself to be a better you everyday. See Proverbs 22:29; 4:18; 1 Corinthians 9:24-25
