WISDOM FOR 2026

Thursday Word & Fire, 1 January 2026, is the first midweek of the year and the opening of Wisdom for 2026. Worship runs long on the first day: I never see any God like you; another one; Blessed be the name of the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; You have done so much for us, we cannot tell it all; Jesus is lifted high; Christ is my foundation; It's a beautiful day. Pastor Jerry marks it as the first service of 2026 on the first day of the year: God has brought them not just into a new year but into a new season. Opening prayer asks God to open eyes, ears, and heart. They stand on their watch to hear. They take the woman who heard about Jesus and made up her mind, Elijah told to arise and eat, the prophet whose word stood him on his feet, the voice that says this is the way, and the sons of Issachar who understood their times. The baptism cry of the night is wisdom for the new year.

Fire prayer saturates 2026 in the Holy Ghost. Psalm 90:12: teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom; no time wasters, no delay, no foolishness. They walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time. Hands on the head: my eyes are open, my ears are open, my heart is open; insight and foresight; spiritual blindness, fire. They uproot demonic wisdom planted in the air and receive the Spirit of wisdom, counsel, understanding, and knowledge. It is the first day of January and the third year of Arroi: three encounters in one stretch, crossover into NSPPD into tonight, atmospheres that turn a man into another man, as Samuel told Saul. They declare a new man of wisdom, focus, alignment, and fire. Arroi has made their feet like hinds' feet; they walk upon high places; they are well directed; they will not miss the mark. They take Mary's place at the feet of Jesus for the one thing that is needful. Dreams are redeemed in the blood as meeting points of wisdom and direction; spirit husband and spirit wife in the night, fire. From 1 January to 31 December they are led by the Spirit as sons of God. The year is named: manifestation, fullness of glory, restoration with compensation, early miracles, twenty years in one year.

The Word is Luke 14:28-30, read together twice: which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it, lest after he hath laid the foundation and is not able to finish, all that behold it begin to mock him. Template for a successful year. Theme of the three verses: building. You are in this year to build. Capacity, a stronger prayer life, a family that loves Jesus, a ministry God will be proud of, a career the devil cannot bring down, a world class business, what has never been built. Intention is not enough; this generation will not respect intention; destiny does not transact in intention; they remember results. Get the picture of the tower clear before you walk into the year; write the vision. Guard the mind that holds the picture: lust, quarrel, unforgiveness, and envy cannot occupy the space you need for destiny. Keep thy heart with all diligence. Foundation is good but not enough; precept upon precept, block upon block; do not stay a benchwarmer; this is a year of service. Stretch; do the online course; raise the bar. A tower is for protection: build what will protect you, never what will destroy you. Put a value on yourself; last year's chapter is closed. Some are waiting to mock; do not give them the privilege. Close: wave offering, first Glory Friday tomorrow with the mantle, Sunday I am in my new as mantle and communion in all four services, eat well because 21 days of fasting begin Monday 5 January, Psalm 91, then fourteen people told "it's a glorious new year." Closing song: I'm going forward; the Lord has gone ahead of me to make every crooked path straight; you carry grace, you carry favour.

1. This year opens with wisdom, not with drift. Teach us to number our days. 2026 has no room for foolishness, time wasters, or delay. Eyes, ears, and heart must open. Demonic wisdom planted in the air for downfall is uprooted; only the wisdom of God is permitted to stay. You receive the Spirit of wisdom, counsel, understanding, and knowledge. You will not enter the wrong investment or the wrong place.
2. You are becoming another man. Samuel told Saul that after the company of prophets he would be turned into another man. There is a new man of wisdom, focus, alignment, and fire inside you; that man must break out. Your generation is waiting. Arroi has made your feet like hinds' feet; you walk on high places; you are unstoppable; all things are ready. You are well directed; you will not run endlessly; you will not miss the mark.
3. Stay at his feet and protect the channel of direction. Mary's portion is the one thing that is needful; no man takes it. Lazarus came back because someone stayed at those feet. Dreams are not for spirit husbands and spirit wives; they are meeting points of wisdom and direction, as with Solomon and Joseph. As many as are led by the Spirit, they are the sons of God. Distraction killed the soldier who lost the prisoner; it will not kill your idea or your relationship this year.
4. You came to build, not to complain. Luke 14 is a building text. Build capacity, prayer, family, ministry, career, business, wisdom, intellect, appearance, communication. You did not come to criticise or to feel bad about what did not work last year. What the devil pulled down, God will use you to rebuild: old waste places, stolen names, stolen reputation, lost prayer fire, systems others will copy. Do not hang out with destroyers. Saviours arise out of Zion. I am a builder, and the gates of hell will not prevail.
5. Intention without capacity is zero. The man who wants a tower must sit down and ask whether he has sufficient to finish. This generation will not respect your intention. Destiny does not transact in intention; when the chips are down they look for result. 2025 had great intentions that lacked capacity. Ask: Lord, give me strength, access, grace, and capacity for my intention.
6. Arrive at the destination in your mind first. The builder already had a tower in his head: high, for protection. It is an error to walk into a year with no picture of how it ends. Write the vision. This is the year of highbrow meetings, heads of nations needing your services, leaving the struggling stage, unrivalled ideas, revelations in sleep, what has never happened before happening through your life. Let nobody call it daydreaming.
7. Keep your heart; you are not small chops. The mind that holds the picture cannot host lust, quarrel, unforgiveness, or envy. Think on what is pure, honest, just, lovely, of good report. You are not the free snack on every table. Processing negativity limits the productive potential of your mind. Free them; release them; run into your destiny even if they call you weak. You are a well of wisdom. Josephs miss the interpretation because the heart is a market square: lust, jealousy, envy running a demonic boardroom. The chairman adjourns the meeting.
8. Foundation is not enough, and a tower is for protection. Do not let them come back and find the house still at foundation. Precept upon precept. If they shame you with yesterday, complete the shame and tell them that was yesterday; you are a new creature, glory to glory. Jack up prayer. This is a year of service, not benchwarming. Skills you already have are foundational: do the course, raise the bar, try harder things, stretch. Build what will protect and preserve you, never what will destroy you. Do not treat accelerating relationships as cheap because they came easy. Do not let passing noise drown the voices of those who came to stay. Build for people who see you as a person, not a means to an end. Build on the work that pays you; do not spend productive hours on nonsense. Put a value on yourself; if too many can afford you, you have become cheap. Last year's baggage does not get a hello in 2026. Whatever you built that will not protect your future, tear it down. Some are waiting to mock; some are rooting for you. Because of where God has situated you, everyone can see whether you finished. Do not give mockers the privilege of opening their teeth. Build what will protect you.

Today / this season

• Pray: in this service I receive wisdom for the new year. Open my eyes, ears, and heart. Stand on your watch. Hear the word that makes you resolve. Arise and eat what he is serving. Ask for a word that fills you with strength, power, ability, direction, and clarity.
• Fire: teach me to number my days; no foolishness in 2026. Hands on the head: my eyes, ears, and heart are open. Uproot demonic wisdom. Receive the Spirit of wisdom, counsel, understanding, and knowledge. I become another man. 2026, you are my new season. Arroi has made my feet like hinds' feet; I walk on my high places; I am well directed; I will not miss the mark. Call angels of direction. No distractions. Take Mary's place at his feet. Redeem dreams with the blood of Jesus. I am led by the Spirit.
• Declare: I love the word of God; it is the compass for my living. Tell three neighbours happy new year. Tell a neighbour: you came to build; you are a builder; don't stop building. Shout "I am a builder."
• Sit down with God: intention is not enough; give me strength, access, grace, and capacity for my intention. Get the picture of this year clear; write the vision. Tell a neighbour: arrive at the destination; I have an idea of my tower.
• Keep your heart. Do not dilute the well of wisdom. Adjourn the demonic boardroom in your head. Do not leave life at the foundation. Stretch; serve in his house; raise the bar. Build what will protect you; tear down what will not preserve tomorrow. Put a value on yourself; last year's chapter is closed.
• Wave offering: tithe, offering, and partnership.
• Share with a neighbour one thing that blessed you tonight. Close with two hands lifted, Psalm 91, then walk to 14 persons and tell them "it's a glorious new year."
