The world remains turbulent—a whirlwind of chaos, challenges, and turmoil. Yet, as God’s people, we are called to rise above these things, prepared to build and battle simultaneously, just as the remnant did in Ezra’s and Nehemiah’s time. Victory is ours, but it will require focus, unwavering commitment, and aligned positioning in the Spirit.
In Ezra 3:3, despite fear and opposition, the people rebuilt the altar and offered sacrifices to the Lord, morning and evening. Similarly, Nehemiah’s builders worked with tools in one hand and weapons in the other (Nehemiah 4:17-18), fully engaged in their mission while standing guard against opposition.
So how do we build and battle in 2025?
We cannot afford to be passive in God’s presence. We must actively participate in the presence - relying on and hearing in the Spirit for revelation and acting on it quickly.
We can no longer HEAR a word, but not put it into action!
Aligned positioning means staying attuned to the Spirit’s leading, building according to God's plans and purposes, and standing firm with spiritual weapons of prayer, worship, and the Word (Ephesians 6:10-18).
This year demands intentionality. It calls for sacrifices of our time, gifts, and contending prayer, abiding and residing in the presence. The battles will come, but with God, we are already victorious and will be victorious, despite how you may feel (Romans 8:37).
This is a year where lack will be turned into abundance and overflow – the supernatural work of God and divine blessing will rest on those who SEEK, SERVE and SATURATE themselves in the presence.
Let us commit to build Kingdom and battle against spiritual opposition with courage and purpose.
Make 2025 a year of focus, intentionality, commitment, and divine alignment.
