By your grace, we declare that our mind shall not be confused; our goals shall be accurately defined, and our steps shall be divinely directed throughout this year.

By Your Spirit, condition our mind to think on and our mouth to speak of what is true, honourable, right, pure, lovely, positive, excellent and praise-worthy throughout this year.

By Your Spirit, we will wisely DISCERN the season for change. By Your Spirit, we will engage necessary POSTURE. By Your Spirit, we will develop appropriate APTITUDE & ATTITUDE. By Your Spirit, we will maintain unwavering FOCUS. We will experience revival in spiritual life, increase in fruitfulness and experience life-transforming encounters. We receive grace and wisdom to apply right actions to our faith.

As we diligently obey the voice of the Lord our God, to observe carefully all His commandments which He will command us. We believe the Lord that we are blessed in the city, in the nation, in the fruit of our body and in the work of our hands. We believe the Lord for His blessing over everything that adds value to our lives—and in all to which we set our hand to do. Blessed are we in our movements and in our journeys. 

We will be victorious over challenges in Jesus’ name!
