Commanding the year 2025

Build with Hari Rao

Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.”

Genesis 12:1-4

1. 2025 - The Year of Transition:

Transition is your way into God’s will. This is a year of transition for many of God’s children.

God invited Abraham into His will and plan, and to walk in it, Abraham had to depart from his current location.

It is the Year of Departure—prepare to leave what you are familiar with and embrace what the Lord has for you. When you consistently miss your window of transition, a temporary season can become a permanent habitation.

Transition is designed to save you from death, irrelevance, and mediocrity. God allows transitions so you can leave a place of lack and enter into His abundance.

As with Elijah, the ravens and the brook were to sustain him only for a season. God's providence had moved, requiring Elijah to leave the wilderness and go to Zarephath, where a widow was divinely appointed to provide for him, and he, in turn, was to be a blessing to her.

Frustration is a sign that you have overstated your season.

Exit every environment where there is no divine demand for you. Arise and move out, for the Lord has something greater for you.

2. 2025 is the year God makes you His Prophetic Vessel:

This is the year to discover your design and thrive in your identity.

Abraham likely came from a wealthy family, but God’s call wasn’t about giving him a better life; it was about making his life relevant. Transition is your way into God’s will.

This year, embrace God’s blueprint for your life. May your life reflect God and take the form He has envisioned for you.

3. 2025 is the Year of Possession:

Abraham had to leave his father’s house and all he had known. God called Abraham alone, and only God can call a person alone and add to their life. It was God who called Abraham, made him rich, and established him. The only requirement for Abraham’s success was having God on his side.

When God brought Abraham to Canaan, the land was already occupied by kings, mansions, and armies. Yet God promised it to Abraham, revealing a new kind of ownership—a divine inheritance he hadn’t understood before.

2025 is the Year of Divine Ownership, the Year of Possession, and the Year of Taking Over! Nations will become your inheritance.

4. 2025 is the YEAR of your RISING:

As we read in Isiah 60:1-5 - As the Lord’s return draws near, gross darkness will cover the earth. Yet, in the midst of it, the glorious bride of Christ—the Church—will shine brightly.

This is your year to rise, shine, and walk in the glory of God’s purpose for your life.

Take over and command the year, beloved.
