Most of the prophecies for 2025 that one can see on social media are actually for the congregation, to which that person bringing it, is a minister. However, one must keep in mind that the fulfilment of all the wonderful promises and prophecies for the year 2025 is conditional on our response to and walk with God. The focus for our local church in this year is that we need to be focusing on the supremacy of Christ, getting a fresh revelation of his kingship. This supremacy consists out of three aspects, his majesty, magnificence and might. His majesty is about his greatness, glory, and sovereign authority – Christ as king – He is King of kings and Lord of lords. His kingdom is everlasting. Jesus has received his kingship from the Father because of the price paid on the cross. If we have a deep revelation of the majesty of Christ and live in it, we will be able to overcome the things of this world, as we surrender to his supreme authority in every area of our lives, since He is above all earthly powers and circumstances. The magnificence of Christ talks about his beauty and splendour and the grace revealed through his person and works. His supreme splendour is overwhelming. His magnificence is not only in what He has done, but also in who He is, his humility, wisdom, and love. He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born son over all creation, which is his inheritance. Through and for him all things have been created and are held together, He sustains the universe by his power. He is magnificent in his person, position, purpose, passion, perfection, patience, perseverance, and power. Everything we claim for 2025 is included in the majesty and magnificence of Christ, as we make time to meditate on, reflect and consider Him, his life, death, resurrection and current ministry. This will inspire us to a deeper gratitude for his presence and provision for us in the past year. Witnessing to others will also deepen our experience of his magnificence. Christ is also immeasurably powerful, (his might) because all authority in heaven and on earth has been bestowed upon him by his Father when He was raised from the dead. The power of his resurrection is the assurance of his ability to sustain- and give us victory over all of our challenges, including sin and death. To see this power at work in us, we need to trust, and rest in the promise of his power, understanding that his power is made perfect in our weakness. This not automatic, but when we go to him with our weakness with honesty and confess and give it over to him, that is when his power is made perfect. In this year we need to worship more fully, study the Word deeply, live gratefully, and walk through this year with boldness and fearlessness.
