One of the things I'm being very intentional about is speaking life into my Year/Decade. Proverbs 18:21 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit". Speak life, purpose that the Njaa-nuary/96 Days of January jokes will not be part of your utterances. As for me and my house, I refuse to be part of such jokes. I will experience abundance - Jaa-nuary and not Njaa-nuary. I will not experience 96 days of January but 31 days which will be fruitful and fulfilling. Lack shall not come near my tent in Jesus name. Seeing as death & life are in the power of the tongues, how about we make declarations over our year/decade and then make a prayer. I will pick most of the declarations from Deuteronomy 28, though they do have a caveat - OBEDIENCE.
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 "If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on the earth. All these blessing will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God".
Job 22:28 "You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you". I decree and declare that in 2020:
1. You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. Deuteronomy 28:3
2. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock - the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Deuteronomy 28:4
3. You basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. Deuteronomy 28:5
6. You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. Deuteronomy 28:6
7. The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven. Deuteronomy 28:7
8. The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. Deuteronomy 28:8
9. The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity - in the fruit of womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground - in the land He swore to your ancestors to give you. Deuteronomy 28:11
10. The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of His bounty, to send rain on you land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. Deuteronomy 28:12
11. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. Deuteronomy 28:12
13. The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. Deuteronomy 28:13
Dear Lord, thank you for the blessing of seeing not only another year but another decade. Thank you for watching over us during the holidays and bringing each of us safely back to our places of work/business/school. Thank you for the blessings You have promised in Deuteronomy 28. We decree and declare them over our lives. We declare that 2020 is blessed. I pray for everyone reading this, that their lives shall be centered on You this year. That You will hold their hands this year. I pray that you will hear them when they call on You and answer them. I pray that You defend them oh Lord and may You send them help from the sanctuary. Above all Lord, may You grant them the desires of their hearts and fulfill all Your purposes in their lives. I bless you and exalt your name. May you be our guide this new year/decade all to the glory and honor of your name. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
I pray for good health & God's goodness and mercy over each and everyone of you. Welcome to the best year/decade of your life. Purpose that this year/decade you will be the best version of you. Challenge & push your limits, face your fears and conquer them and basically just kick bum!!!!!
