New Year Word 2024For the Lord in His mercy will lead them; He will lead them beside cool waters. (Isaiah 49:10) And I will make my mountains into level paths for them. (Isaiah 49:11) The Lord will surely comfort Zion; and will look with compassion on all her ruins. He will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the Lord, joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing. (Isaiah 51:3) WHAT IS 'THE NEW YEAR WORD'?Struthers Memorial Group of Churches is an Independent Pentecostal Fellowship which has been in existence since the early 1950s. Early on in the history of the Movement, one of its founders, Mr Hugh Black, began to realise that at the time of the New Year Conference there was often a sermon preached which came with deep power and contained an element of prophetic wisdom for the year that lay ahead. Soon members of the church began to anticipate this word coming and a note of these specific words has been kept since the mid-1960s.
In the early years the word was given by God to Miss Elizabeth Taylor, co-founder of the Struthers Memorial Fellowship, but in later years the word came through the late minister of the Glasgow church, Miss Mary Black, and then to Mrs Grace Gault, minister of the Greenock church. This year the word comes to us through Diana Rutherford, minister of the Cumbernauld branch church. |
