Philippians 2:10-11 (KJV)

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The Bible tells us that all circumstances you face in your life, whether things in Heaven, in or under this Earth, ought to bow at the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. However, many Christians can cite several instances where they have used the name of Jesus, and their situations have not changed or have even worsened! The reason for this is simple. In its original rendering, 'name' translates to anoma, meaning character or personality. Many call on the name of God yet their own lives do not reflect godliness in any sense.

The Name of the Lord Jesus Christ is not a password you use to just break chains but something that requires your life to be a mirror of the power you are attempting to access. As a child of God, ensure you are aligning yourself with the character of Christ and you will see the enemy on bended knees in your life!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

My life is a reflection of the living God in me. Today, I call upon the name of the Lord in His character, and all chains that need to break shall break today! Amen.

1 Peter 5:5 (KJV)

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

Whilst the quote' pride comes before the fall' is equally popular in Christendom and secular communities alike, referenced throughout literary texts, speeches and other mediums of pop culture, its origin and meaning are based entirely on biblical principles! The Bible tells us that if you want to actualise God's blessings in your life, you must ensure you are not prideful!

Many people today are consumed by pride due to their lack of knowledge of what it actually means to be prideful. When you have pride, you have an excessive belief in your own abilities without recognising the grace of God functioning in your life! The verse above shows us that in contrast to God resisting the proud, he gives grace to the humble. As we embark on a new year, the biggest chain to break is the chain of pride. Don’t let it hinder your testimonies this year. Clothe yourself in humility and see the full manifestation of your year as a chain breaker!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

In this new year, humility shall help me rise! I WILL NEVER LET PRIDE CONSUME ME! Every chain formed to hinder my 2025 is BROKEN in Jesus' Name!
