My friend, 2026 is divinely appointed as a “Year of Arise and Build”. The Lord Himself is blessing this New Year as a season where everything that has been broken, delayed, desolate, or lying in ruins will be restored and beautifully rebuilt on time and in order. Scripture declares in Hebrews 3:4 that every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. The same Almighty God who created all things in six days is the One who will rebuild all things for us in 2026. He will rebuild our family lives, our personal lives, our ministries, and our spiritual foundations. As the Lord promised in Jeremiah 31:4, “Again I will build you, and you will be rebuilt.” Therefore, we enter this year boldly, with faith and expectation, knowing that God Himself goes before us as the Master Builder, restoring joy, worship, and celebration where sorrow once prevailed.

This rebuilding will come with divine honour and peace. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 21:42 that the stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone, and this is the Lord’s doing. Those who were rejected, overlooked, or declared unfit will be positioned by God as cornerstones. What enemies dismissed as useless, God will use as the very foundation of His work. The Lord Himself is doing this, and it will be marvellous in our eyes. As God removes us from the hands of our enemies, He gives us peace and causes us to build even in the midst of opposition. According to II Chronicles 14:7, when God’s people sought Him, He gave them rest on every side, and they built and prospered. This is the promise for 2026: “We will build and prosper.” God will build our homes, families, ministries, and inner lives, and He will also make us builders, building in peace, serving in peace, and prospering in peace.

The rebuilding in 2026 will extend beyond individuals to generations and nations. Isaiah 58:12 declares that from us will come those who rebuild ancient ruins and raise up age-old foundations. Places that have been broken for generations, destroyed by fear, threats, rejection, and despair, will be restored. The Lord will fill His people with His Spirit and empower them to rebuild foundations from generation to generation. We will be called “Repairers of Broken Walls and Restorers of Streets to Dwell In”; in other words, God’s people will build cities and establish communities of peace. The Lord is not only laying foundations but also rebuilding walls, uniting His church, and releasing prophetic vision through His Word. What God is about to do is a miracle. It will begin in Chennai and spread across the nation and the world as the Lord pours out His Spirit and raises up Josephs and Daniels, leaders with wisdom, integrity, and divine authority.

This global rebuilding is tied to prayer, prophecy, and God’s end-time purposes. Revelation 6 speaks of the first six seals, which are conquest, war, famine, death, martyrdom, and natural calamities, which we have already witnessed. Now, the seventh seal is about to be opened, which is the prayers of the saints rising like incense to heaven and returning as fire. From 2026 onward, prayers from Israel, India, and the nations will ascend together, not only as requests but as prophetic incense that brings God’s decisions to earth and prepares the world for the Second Coming of Christ. Prayer and prophecy will unite, returning as fire with thunder and lightning, breaking obstacles, causing satan to fall, and releasing peace. In this year, God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh; sons and daughters will prophesy, miracles will abound, and prophetic words will declare what is to come. Even now, the Lord is rebuilding us inwardly and strengthening us to be builders outwardly, calling us to pray, prophesy, and partner with Him as He establishes His will on earth in 2026.

PRAYER: 
Dear Lord, I thank You for appointing 2026 as a year of rebuilding in my life. You are the Master Builder, and I surrender every broken, delayed, and desolate area of my life into Your hands. According to Your Word, You build everything, and I trust that You are rebuilding my family, my spiritual life, my calling, and my future beautifully and on time. Lord Jesus, You are the cornerstone that was once rejected, and I declare that every place where I was rejected or overlooked, You will turn into a place of honour. Let Your peace surround me on every side as I build and prosper by Your grace. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit, release prophetic clarity in my life, and align my prayers with Your purposes on earth. As incense rises from my life, let Your will come down like holy fire, removing obstacles, silencing the enemy, and establishing Your kingdom through my life. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
