Theme:

 Reflecting on the Past and Embracing the Future  

  

🗯️Bible Anchor

"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." 

— Philippians 3:13-14 (KJV)

1. Opening Prayer

Ask the Holy Spirit to guide the study, open hearts to receive, and empower participants to live renewed lives in the new year.

2. Scripture Reading

Philippians 3:13–14  

"But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

3. Introduction

The new year is not just a change of calendar—it is a spiritual opportunity. God invites us to release the past, renew our minds, and embrace His purpose for the future. GAEN teaches that good living begins at the altar: prayer, consecration, and obedience to God’s Word.

4. Teaching Points: The R.E.N.E.W. Plan

A practical framework for New Year Good Living:

- R – Release the Past  

  - Let go of regrets, failures, and disappointments.  

  - Scripture: Isaiah 43:18–19 – “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past…”  

- E – Engage with Scripture Daily  

  - Build a habit of prayer and Bible reading.  

  - Scripture: Joshua 1:8 – “Meditate on it day and night…”  

- N – Nurture Kingdom Goals  

  - Set resolutions that align with God’s mission (Acts 1:8).  

  - Scripture: Matthew 6:33 – “Seek first the kingdom of God…”  

- E – Embrace Discipline  

  - Commit to fasting, prayer watches, and consistent spiritual practices.  

  - Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:27 – “I discipline my body and keep it under control…”  

- W – Walk in Gratitude  

  - Celebrate progress and testify of God’s goodness.  

  - Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “Give thanks in all circumstances…”  

5. Discussion / Reflection

- What do you need to release from the past year?  

- How will you engage with Scripture daily in 2026?  

- What kingdom goals can you set for the new year?  

6. Practical Action Steps

- Write down 3 things to release from 2025.  

- Create a daily Bible reading plan for January.  

- Set one spiritual goal (e.g., consistent fasting, evangelism, or prayer watch participation).  

- End each day with thanksgiving.  

7. Closing Declaration

"Lord, I release the past and step boldly into the future You have prepared for me. 2026 will be a year of renewal, revelation, and revival in my life."

8. Closing Prayer

Pray for strength to live out the R.E.N.E.W. plan, for revival fire to spread through GAEN, and for God’s presence to guide every step in the new year.
