The calendar pages of 2025 have been flying off its holder and into the trash cans for many of us; the days, weeks, and months have rapidly escaped in the midst of our very eyes. Getting ready for 2026 is key in preparation to receive those things that you are looking for and desiring by way of God’s Hand.
Getting ready means that you are preparing yourself for prosperity and the fruits of the Spirit and for the set-up of your gains in 2026. There is hope that the days do not move as fast and rapidly as they did in 2025 and that you don’t experience those travesties that you encountered in the city of Philadelphia along with the nation here in Amerika. It is in the hope of getting ready in prayer, putting in the hard work that needs to be done within ourselves individually, that we come together in solidarity as communities of one.
Being independent is something that we were taught to do as children, but as you get older and you realize what independence really encounters — there is nothing that you can do alone. With Christ on your side, you will be ready for 2026 and whatever is coming your way; be it those great days, or difficult days you persevere through even though they may be hurtful.
As you are getting ready for the ending of this year, and the preparation of beginning a whole new opportunity in your life, I always feel that a new year and a birthday are the beginnings of the lives of all of us. Who you are, where you are, what you do, the choices that you make and where your feet land is a result of your overachieving prayers, and then the forgiveness and the expectations that you desire in your heart. Continue to look up into the mountains from where your help is coming from, and continue to give the glory, honor, praise, and dignity to God by the way you live.
Prepare for the newness in your life as a new chapter in the book of 2026. As you live your life daily, the pages will turn and will reflect the accomplishments, failures, goals, and everything that happens in those 365 days of your new life. Live victoriously in knowing that God has your back at whatever that challenge is, and you will make it through. You are the victory, begin walking into the glories of those victories in Jesus as you walk out of your door and step into your newness of your life today. Yesterday is gone, be glorious. Until next time, take care….PEACE!
