Gratitude: Crossover Service 2025/2026, December 31, 2025

Reverend Michael Mwangi

Senior Pastor, Fedha Church, Kenya Assemblies of God 

Unavuka mwaka ama ni mwaka inakuvuka? (Are you crossing the year, or is it the year that is crossing you?). 

Isaiah 45:2-3
I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name.

We are all excited to cross to 2026.
But 2026 will either make you or break you, depending on how you cross.
We are all here crossing, so kuvuka mwaka (crossing the year) is not an issue.  The big issue is hiyo what the year will make of you.

Kuna watu watavuka mwaka lakini wengine mwaka itawavuka.
Kuna watu watamaliza mwaka nawengine itamaliza.
Kuna watu watafurahia mwaka  na wengine wataumia. Wengine watavumilia na wengine watajivunia.

(There are people who will cross the year, but others will be crossed by the year.

There are people who will finish the year and others, the year will finish them.

There are people who will enjoy the year and others will suffer. Some will endure and others will be proud.)

Year 2026 has all this but it in the hands of God. You better have the God who owns and holds 2026.

It is not the year that will make a difference but God.

If you have God, from Isaiah, God promises to go ahead of us and remove all the barriers, giving us open doors and a breakthrough.

He will eliminate all the enemies ahead, giving you victory and success.

Therefore, the most important thing is putting God ahead of everything. If God is going with us, then 2026 will be a joy to us, no matter the battles and the challenges it will bring.

That's why Moses said in Exodus 33:12-17

12 Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’ 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”

14 The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”

17 And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”

Niambie tunaenda na nani, Kama sio wewe hatutoki. (Tell me who we're going with, if it's not you we won't leave.)

It's your presence that distinguishes us (makes difference)
If you with us we will cross over but without you we will just be crossing to problems.

Ukiwa na Mungu hautazuiliwa na chochote hata milima. (With God, nothing will stop you, not even mountains.)

Despite the challenges ahead, ukiwa na Mungu mbele iko sawa (with God, the future is okay).
Hutafuatwa na hutazuiliwa (You will not be trailed and you will not be stopped).

Kama huna Mungu haijalishi umerukia mwaka kanisani ama kichakani (If you don't have God, it doesn't matter if you've spent the year in church or in the bush)... it does not make a difference.

Huwezi weka Mungu box na kulikia kanisani. Unahitaji kuwa na Mungu na ukubali akuongoze na akutangulie (You can't put God in a box and cry in church. You need to have God and allow Him to lead you and go before you).

2025 Declaration

As we stand at the gates of 2025.
There are things that followed you in 2025. The failures, sins, sickness, misfortunes, fake friends, bad attitudes, blindness, msoto (being broke), etc. You need to stand and declare.

I refuse such to follow me and cross with me in 2026 in Jesus name.

Nakataa kufuatwa na mashida na maneno ya 2025 (I refuse to be followed by the problems and issues of 2025).

Kataa kufuatwo kwa kusimama katika mlango wa 2026 (Refuse to be followed by standing at the door of 2026).

Leo simama na ushike doria katika malango yako ya 2026 na uamuru kuna vitu za 2025 hazitaingia ama kukufuata 2026 (Today, stand and patrol your gates of 2026 and decree that the things of 2025 will not enter or follow you into 2026).

 
Sema whatever was a thorn, shame, mateso, mizigo ya kubebeshwa mizigo, failure, witchcraft, demonic attacks... it will not enter through the gates of 2026 (Say whatever was a thorn, shame, suffering, burdens, failure, witchcraft, demonic attacks... it will not enter through the gates of 2026.).

Let's deal with them na tuseme (and say) no more of such in your new year. 

Prophesy over 2026

In 2026, I will experience the glory of God, new levels, divine  increase and access are mine
I prophesy goodness and mercy will follow me in 2026.
I Prophesy I will experience peace, joy and rest in 2026.
Prosperity, wealth and good health will be my portion in 2026.
