HOW TO PREPARE FOR AND SUCCEED IN A NEW YEAR – Ps Alexandre AMAZOU

How to Prepare for and Succeed in a New Year

You cannot enter a new year carelessly and expect to succeed! A year does not unfold randomly. There are things you must do to prepare it and ensure that you live it under God’s blessing and guidance. Otherwise, it will be like every other year, marked by lost battles and missed opportunities.

Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place? (Job 38:12)

This passage challenges us! God gives us the authority to instruct our days, to shape our year before it fully unfolds. What you have not prepared, do not expect to see fulfilled. You reap only what you have sown.

So, how can you ensure that 2025 will be a year of breakthrough, growth, and manifestation of God’s glory? Together, we will explore the fundamental spiritual principles that allow us to enter the year with power and confidence.

Slogans Are Not Enough—You Must Sow Spiritually

Many believers enter January with declarations and slogans: “This is my year of glory,” “This is my year of breakthrough,” “Double portion in 2025″… But let me ask you a question: Has a slogan ever changed a destiny? A slogan, without action, without spiritual investment, is an empty declaration!

The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. (Matthew 13:24-25)

The devil does not come to sow in the middle of the year. NO! He acts at the gate of a cycle, at the beginning, before the harvests are even visible. His goal is clear: to corrupt your destiny BEFORE you can enjoy it.

That is why it is crucial to understand a powerful principle: A successful year does not happen by chance—it is sown! If at the gate of 2025 you do not sow spiritually, the enemy will come and deposit his own agenda. This is an unchangeable spiritual law: What is INSERTED at the beginning of a cycle is WHAT WILL DOMINATE THAT CYCLE!

The Gates of the Year: A Critical Time in the Spiritual Realm

Look around you. December is a time of massive distraction. People rush into stores, thinking about what to eat, how to have fun… But in the spiritual realm, it is a season of transactions! Satan invests at the gates of years to program the months ahead. Meanwhile, the Church is asleep!

Spiritually, the year has gates, and it is imperative that we learn to secure them through prayer and sacrifice. The enemy does not sleep at the gates of the year… He knows that whatever is sown DETERMINES everything that follows.

Rise up, set out, and engage in battle! (Deuteronomy 2:24)

This is a divine instruction! A spiritual battle must be waged now, not after the enemy has already taken his position.

We must stop enduring the Christian life as if everything were already decided in advance. Some defeats in our lives are not inevitable; they are simply the result of a lack of vigilance at the gates of cycles. If you want to see victory in 2025, then rise up and take authority now!

Let’s Wage Spiritual Warfare at the Gates of the Year

First Fundamental Principle: Intense and Strategic Prayer!

Have you commanded the dawn to take its place? (Job 38:12)

This means that we have the SPIRITUAL privilege of commanding the gates! But how many actually practice it?

Prayer must be your fuel during this key period. You must pray BEFORE entering the year, not after. Imagine someone who understands this law and declares each morning:

Lord, I take authority over my year. Every seed that the enemy wants to plant in my February, I uproot it in the name of Jesus! My projects in June, my ministry in September, my family in December… I establish God’s will over every month to come!

If you do not pray strategically, the enemy will implement HIS plans while you enter January naïvely, hoping that “God will do everything for you.” No, GOD NEEDS MEN WHO ENGAGE SPIRITUALLY.

Activate Sacrifice: A Powerful Spiritual Weapon

Israel goes to war by divine instruction… and they lose! Twice, they inquire of God, and twice, they are defeated.

Why? Because God’s answer alone is not enough! It is only after adding fasting and sacrifices that victory appeared! This teaches us a critical law:

  • Prayer gives you direction,
  • But sacrifice secures the victory!

Learning to Honor: A Key to Prolonging Life

Honor your father and mother so that your days may be long and that you may prosper in the land. (Ephesians 6:2-3)

There is no longevity without honor. Invest in those who have gone before you and who have blessed you.

Let’s Pray Together

Father, as I stand at the gate of 2025, I decide today to no longer be a passive Christian. I refuse to suffer through events and enter this year without spiritual preparation. Lord, I take authority and decree that 2025 will be a year of blessing. Let every hidden scheme of the devil against my life be canceled, and let Your will be fully accomplished in my destiny.

Lord, teach me the spiritual weapons of fasting and sacrifice to secure my year. Open my eyes to the importance of honor and show me how to invest in my future through my spiritual seeds.

In the mighty name of Jesus, amen!
