9 steps on HOW TO ENTER A NEW YEAR
The transition into a new year is not merely a chronological shift; it is a spiritual gateway.
Many enter the new year with resolutions, but the believer enters with revelation. To walk into this coming season and command results that defy logic, you must move beyond excitement into the realm of spiritual strategy.
Here is the blueprint .
1. Enter With Gratitude, Not Complaints
Every new year is a gift, not a right. Begin by thanking God for preservation, lessons learned, and battles survived. Gratitude aligns your heart with heaven and positions you for increase. “In everything give thanks…” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
2. Enter With Light, Not Assumptions;
Every year has a spiritual "frequency." You must retreat to hear what the Spirit is saying specifically to you.
Do not step into a new year casually. Seek God for understanding. Ask questions. Pray for direction. A believer does not guess; a believer is led. “Your word is a lamp to my feet…” (Psalm 119:105).
3. Enter With Repentance and a Clean Heart
New seasons demand clean vessels. Let go of sin, bitterness, pride, and secret compromises. God commits new wine to renewed hearts. “If we confess our sins…” (1 John 1:9).
4. Systematic Goal Setting and Planning
While we are spiritual, we must not be irresponsible. God only blesses the work of your hands, not your intentions. Define your targets across five key pillars:
i. Spiritual Growth (Prayer life, Word study)
ii. Mental Development (Skills, certifications, books)
iii. Health and Vitality
iv. Financial Stewardship
v. Strategic Relationships
5. Enter With Clear Spiritual Priorities
Decide early what comes first. Prayer, the Word, obedience, and fellowship must not be negotiated. What you honor in January governs what answers you receive in December. “Seek first the kingdom…” (Matthew 6:33).
6. Enter With Purposeful Declarations
Speak God’s Word over your year. Life follows words. Declare alignment, growth, favor, discipline, and impact. Do not be silent in a year that demands authority. “You shall decree a thing…” (Job 22:28).
7. Enter With Strategic Separation
Not everyone who walked with you last year should walk with you this year. Seasons change. Be bold enough to let go of distractions that weaken your focus. “Come out from among them…” (2 Corinthians 6:17).
8. Enter With Faith and Responsibility
Trust God, but walk wisely. Plan, build skill, grow in character, and stay consistent. Faith does not cancel diligence; it empowers it. “The hand of the diligent makes rich.” (Proverbs 10:4).
9. Consecration and Fasting
There is a level of authority that will not be released until there is a death to self. Use the early days of the year to fast and pray. This isn't about "persuading" God; it is about refining your spiritual sensitivity. It is during these moments of consecration that blueprints are released and territorial spirits are subdued.
Do not just cross into a new year—enter it spiritually prepared, intentionally aligned, and fully yielded to God. New years reward those who understand times and seasons. The Lord bless you richly in the name of Jesus Christ! #ApostleJoshuaSelman

These two kids; Tyler Fletcher and Jack Fletcher are twins and sons of Darren Fletcher.
Tyler Fletcher is a Central Midfielder (CM), a box to box midfielder, who is calm and composed on the ball and likes to keep possession and a good passer of the ball.
Jack Fletcher unlike his twin brother is an Attacking Midfielder (AM), who has an eye for goal, creative and has ball progression or carrying to his game.
Jack has gotten his debut against villa and played against Newcastle and Tyler is yet to get his debut.
These twins can be our Fabio and Rafael da Silva twins who played under SAF.
Hopefully they get to develop well and we get to see more of their game.
A professor once explained ‘marketing’ like this:
1. You tell a girl, “I’m rich, marry me.”- That’s Direct Marketing.
2. Your friend tells her you’re rich- That’s Advertising.
3. She walks up to you and says, “You’re rich, marry me.”-That’s Brand Recognition.
4. You tell her you’re rich and she slaps you. - That’s Customer Feedback.
5. Before you say anything, your wife arrives.- That’s Market Restriction. 😄
🇵🇹 CRISTIANO RONALDO: “My wife (Georgina) tells me, ‘Our kids are going to catch a cold being barefoot.’ It’s the complete opposite… The body needs discomfort to get stronger.
For years, the cold has been part of my routine. I use cryotherapy, cold showers, compression chambers. All of that trains my body and my mind for high performance. I don’t just play football, I also take care of myself like an elite athlete. I sleep well, more than seven hours every night, I move all day, and above all, I’m consistent. That’s why, at 40 years old, my physiological age according to Whoop is 28.9. It’s not luck. It’s daily work.
Of course, I also treat myself. I’ve eaten a burger, I’ve stayed up until 2:00 a.m. watching a UFC fight, I’ve slept poorly. But that’s 5% of my life. The other 95% is discipline, routine, recovery. People think being fit means living obsessed, but no. It’s about finding the balance between enjoying life and taking care of yourself. And if you ask me what the secret is, I always say the same thing: there isn’t one. It’s just about being consistent when others aren’t. That’s the real difference.”
