Declarations for January
by: Minister Denise N. Fyffe
Sorry if you blinked and missed it because it’s a new year. Another chapter begins and our lives unfold. Regardless of our circumstances, we must make declarations over our life. You never know what lies ahead on the road of our lives, but one thing is sure, if it is good or bad you can mitigate it with prayers and declarations over your life.
Develop the Practice of Making Declarations
Declarations are pronouncements. The dictionary defines the word as a formal or explicit statement or announcement. It is a communication, pronouncement, proclamation. It carries the same weight as an oath or contract and can be considered a legally binding statement.
In our world, the British monarchy or even our governments, make proclamations very often; it is a part of their duty. These statements are obeyed and those who disobey are punished.
People, generally, obey proclamations.
In the spiritual realm, when we make a declaration, it must be obeyed. God honors our word and our decrees. It says in Job 22:28 (KJV), “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.”
Demons and angels will also heed our declarations, unless the divine will of Almighty God, overrules it.
If you are like me, your interest is piqued when you hear prophets, pastors, or bishops in the church making proclamations and they start with, “I decree and declare” such and such. Why is that? You might have also heard customs agents or immigration officers ask travelers in an airport, “Do you have anything to declare?”
When you declare something, you ‘make it known’. When you make a decree, it is ‘a statement of truth that carries the authority of a court order.’ Therefore, it is effectively a tool that will cause things to manifest in both the spiritual and physical realms.
Books on Declarations
Since the Lord impressed this practice on my spirit several years ago, I continue to make declarations as often as I can.
He has even blessed me with favor and allowed me to be His vessel for several Declarations books; including Declarations for My Life, Declarations for My Sons, Declarations for My Daughters, Declarations for My Spouse, Declarations for My Family, and Declarations for My Country.
I urge you to get a copy – or seven – and learn about declarations. I also encourage you to form the habit of making declarations, if not daily then at least every month.

Declarations for January
While we might pray a different declaration each day, I want you to focus on this declaration for January. It is a well-known scripture that many of us overlook and take for granted, But it is a powerful prayer and appeal to God.
This is the type of declaration we should be making, especially at this time of the year. It is in many ways a recommitment to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Psalm 23 (ESV)
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
3 He restores my soul. >He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,
for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Declaration for Your Life
I pray the Lord will touch your life as you submit to Him and rededicate your life. I pray that He will guide you and keep you. I pray that His will be done in your life, now and forever more; Amen.
Be blessed and be encouraged.
