These are some of the declarations I use to pray for my new year. As we approach 2025, I decided to share some of these declarations with the community.

1. Declaration of New Beginnings

Verse:

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Teaching:

Entering a new year is a reminder of God’s power to renew and transform. Just as He creates new seasons in nature, He gives us fresh opportunities to live according to His will. Let go of past failures, sins, and regrets. Trust that in Christ, you are made new. God’s mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), and His grace empowers you to begin again with purpose and strength.

Declaration:

I declare that this year is a season of new beginnings. The old is gone, and God is doing a new thing in my life (Isaiah 43:18-19). I am a new creation in Christ, walking in His purpose and grace.

2. Declaration of Divine Favor

Verse:

"Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

Teaching:

The favor of God is an essential part of the believer’s life. Favor means you are chosen, loved, and set apart by God for blessings and breakthroughs. Divine favor opens doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and positions you for success beyond human understanding. However, favor is not just about material blessings; it includes peace, joy, protection, and God's guidance in all you do. Align your heart with God’s will, and His favor will follow you throughout the year.

Declaration:

I declare that I am surrounded by God’s favor in every area of my life. Doors of opportunity will open, and His blessings will overflow in my life this year. His favor goes before me and shields me from every harm.

3. Declaration of Strength and Courage

Verse:

"The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1)

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

Teaching:

Life often brings challenges that can cause fear or uncertainty. Yet, God promises His strength and courage to those who rely on Him. You do not face battles alone; God is your light in darkness, your salvation in trouble, and your refuge in storms. Fear has no place in the life of a believer because God’s presence is with you always (Isaiah 41:10). Draw on His strength, and He will sustain you through every trial.

Declaration:

I declare that I am strong and courageous. The Lord is my refuge and my strength. I will face every challenge with boldness, knowing that God is fighting for me (Exodus 14:14). Fear and discouragement have no power over me.

4. Declaration of Abundance and Provision

Verse:

"And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." (2 Corinthians 9:8)

"The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing." (Psalm 23:1)

Teaching:

God’s provision is limitless, and He is faithful to meet all your needs. This abundance is not solely financial but includes peace, relationships, health, and spiritual growth. The key to experiencing God’s provision is faith and alignment with His purposes. When you prioritize the Kingdom of God, everything else is added to you (Matthew 6:33). Remember that God’s blessings are not just for your benefit but also to equip you to bless others and advance His Kingdom.

Declaration:

I declare that this year, I will lack nothing. God’s provision will overflow in my life, and I will abound in good works, blessing others through His abundance. The Lord is my shepherd, and His goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life.

5. Declaration of God’s Guidance

Verse:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'” (Isaiah 30:21)

Teaching:

In a world filled with uncertainty, it’s easy to rely on human wisdom. But God’s guidance is perfect, and He promises to direct the steps of those who trust Him. When you surrender your plans to Him, He aligns them with His divine purpose. The key to receiving His guidance is prayer, patience, and obedience to His Word. God’s voice is never absent; stay sensitive to His leading through the Holy Spirit.

Declaration:

I declare that the Lord is directing my steps this year. I will trust Him with all my heart, knowing that His plans for me are good and perfect (Jeremiah 29:11). I will walk confidently, guided by His wisdom and light.
