Dear OPEN HEAVEN WORSHIP CENTER family,

We bless the name of the Lord who has enabled us to journey together through this year of mercy and grace. It has truly been a long but glorious walk, and we have seen the grace of God multiply in our lives, our families, and our church. We are grateful to God for Pastor Emmanuella, who has faithfully ministered to us throughout this year, and for all the ministers Kate, Peter, Sacred, and every servant who has committed themselves to serving the Lord alongside her. May the Lord reward your labor of love.

Today marks the last Sunday of the month and of the year. By God’s grace, we will gather again on Thursday as we officially step into a new year.

The Lord has declared 2026 as a year of governance and control, with the theme: “Take Charge.”
The Bible tells us in 1 Samuel 30:6–8 that when David found his camp attacked and his wives and children taken captive, he wept bitterly. But David strengthened himself in the Lord and inquired of Him. And the Lord answered, *“Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.”*

In the year of mercy and grace, many of us have cried, waited, and endured. But in 2026, we are not waiting for the enemy to strike, we are taking charge. We are pursuing what was lost. We are entering the enemy’s camp. We are recovering all. We are governing, ruling, and walking in divine authority.

A special thank you to African Gathers to Pray you were exceptional. The flag of your victory has been raised high, and your prayers have spoken loudly in the heavens.

# # # Prophetic Declaration

I declare over you and your household:
In 2026, you will take charge.
You will recover all that was lost.
You will rule with wisdom, walk in authority, and reign by grace.
No enemy will overtake you; instead, you will overtake and prevail.
Doors of dominion, favor, and elevation are opening unto you now.
You shall govern, you shall control, and you shall fulfill destiny
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

May the Lord establish us as we step boldly into this new season.

Am I a Wife or a Knife?
“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, NKJV).

In every relationship, especially marriage, a woman has the unique role of being a helper, supporter, and nurturer to her husband. However, the Bible provides contrasting examples of women who either uplifted their spouses or brought them down. This teaching challenges women to reflect on their roles and actions: Are you a wife like Sarah or a knife like Delilah?

The Analogy of a Wife and a Knife
Psychologists often say that a woman can either be a “wife” or a “knife” in a relationship. This analogy is rooted in biblical stories that demonstrate the profound influence a woman has in her husband’s life. A “wife” builds, supports, and encourages her husband toward God’s purpose, while a “knife” tears down, undermines, and brings destruction.

Sarah: A Model of a Wife
Sarah, the wife of Abraham, is commended in the Bible as a model of faith, submission, and unwavering support.

She Trusted God’s Promises:
“By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised” (Hebrews 11:11, NKJV).
Sarah believed in the promises of God and stood by Abraham as he pursued his divine calling. She trusted God even in uncertainty and followed Abraham to an unknown land (Genesis 12:1-5).

She Supported Abraham’s Leadership:
When Abraham referred to Sarah as his sister before Pharaoh (Genesis 12:11-13), she did not rebel or resist, showing her trust in Abraham and ultimately in God. Her willingness to endure hardship for her husband’s sake demonstrated her deep commitment to him and to God’s plan.

She Contributed to the Fulfillment of God’s Plan:
Despite her initial doubt about having a child in her old age, Sarah supported Abraham in fulfilling God’s covenant. Her actions ultimately brought forth Isaac, the child of promise (Genesis 21:1-7).

Delilah: A Knife in Samson’s Life
In contrast, Delilah serves as an example of a “knife” in a relationship. Instead of building Samson up, she actively sought his downfall.

She Exploited Samson’s Weakness:
Delilah betrayed Samson for personal gain, constantly pressuring him to reveal the secret of his strength (Judges 16:4-6). Her motives were selfish, and she prioritized material wealth over loyalty and love.

She Celebrated His Downfall:
Delilah handed Samson over to his enemies, leading to his humiliation and destruction (Judges 16:18-21). Her actions not only destroyed Samson but also contributed to her own demise, as Samson’s final act of strength resulted in the death of thousands, likely including Delilah herself.

The Purpose of Marriage: Building Each Other Up
King Solomon beautifully described the purpose of marriage:
"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, NKJV).

A godly wife lifts her husband when he falls, supports him in his calling, and partners with him to fulfill God’s purpose. In contrast, a “knife” undermines her husband, exploits his weaknesses, and prioritizes her selfish desires over their shared purpose.

The Question to Ask Yourself in 2025
This year, take a moment to reflect: Am I a wife or a knife? In every action, ask yourself:

Do I emulate Sarah, who stood by Abraham in faith, or Delilah, who used Samson’s weaknesses against him?
Do I encourage and support my spouse toward God’s purpose, or do I tear him down with my words and actions?
Am I a source of strength, or do I contribute to his challenges?
A Prayer for Unmarried Brothers
For those who are not yet married, it is crucial to pray for God’s guidance in choosing a spouse. Proverbs 18:22 says, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord” (NKJV).

May the Lord guide you to a woman who emulates Sarah, who supports and strengthens you in your walk with God. And if you find yourself in a relationship with someone who exhibits the traits of Delilah, may the Lord give you wisdom and protection from harm.

Conclusion: Emulating Sarah in Marriage
In marriage, the goal is not competition but partnership. Sarah exemplifies the role of a godly wife who uplifts her husband and aligns herself with God’s purpose. On the other hand, Delilah serves as a warning against selfishness and betrayal.

Let us all strive to emulate the godly women of the Bible, building each other up and fulfilling God’s purposes in our families and relationships.

*365 Days of Gratitude: Day 13*

*Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.*

*Jesus gave thanks for revelation.*

One of the most overlooked gifts of God to man is revelation. How many people after they have received an insight or revelation from God return to tell God thank You?

Several times we receive inspiration from the Holy Spirit that scholars and theologians have not received not because we study more but because He chose to show us.

Many people are one revelation from the solution to their challenge, but it is yet to be found. But we have found it all thanks to God!

Little wonder David in Psalm 119:162 describes his delight when he said “I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil”.

Prayer: Dear LORD, we thank You for showing us things that will bring to an end the challenges in our lives, that have been hidden from the world as we study Your Word in Jesus name!
