New Year 2026 Message

01.01.2026

…They were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much. 2 Chro 20:25

In every war, there is a winner; there is a loser.  After deciding this only , war will end.

Jehoshaphat was initiated into a  war by his enemies at his most  vulnerable time. But he called upon the God in heaven,  and  made his  whole nation look up to God. He even made a confession that he has no strength, no army force to fight the war and surrendered fully to God and His mercy. It became  inevitable for God to prove His word.

Ps 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Psa 9:9  The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

Psa 32:7  You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance.

We have entered  into a New Year. For God every year is  the same, But for us, who are pilgrims on this earth, every single moment we live on earth is precious as well as  accountable. We should know why we are allowed to live in this year.    When we recollect our past in AOJ,  

Recollecting the Past

Years  2006 – 2013 – procuring  food and seed as reserve from the Churches for future years.

2014-2020 – Years of warfare – Fighting with the Desert Horse -, the enemy

Years 2020-2025

Years of establishing Shadow systems (Shadow Parli, SMPs, SMLAs etc – 2020-2025)
 
EMB (Enlarge My Border – 2021)

RTL (Restoring the Land – 2023)

IBJ (India Belongs to Jesus Jubilee Celebrations – 2023
CRFC (Covenant Renewal Family Celebrations – 2024 & 2025),

Inheriting the land (Marching around States, cities, nations and taking authority over them) – 2025

In these years, we saw Governments falling, Religious systems falling and Church structures falling, the Lord’s mighty hand working against His enemies.

2026 is the year to gather the spoil! – Believers in the Churches!

For Jehoshaphat and His Army it took three days to gather the spoil. For us it is going to be one full year. We do not know whether it will extend beyond this year.

( Samuel 30:21-25, 2 Kings 3:23-27, Numbers 31:1-54 ,  Joshua 22:8,  Judges 5:30, 1 Samuel 30:21-25, 2 Chronicles 20:25, Isaiah 9:3, Luke 11:22)

This year we are going to inherit the Churches, win believers from  various Churches and make them soldiers  enlisted into the Army of  Jesus Christ.

In the year 2012, the Lord revealed to AOJ, the burden in His heart that Institutional Churches are the greatest block for evangelization today. Satan has taken hold of the Institutional Churches and keeping  Christians and believers as prisoners inside.  He is  ruling over the Institutional Churches in disguise. He has caused  the worships, messages and the other activities of the Church to lull the believers into  passivity. Just like a drug addict loses his senses like a mesmerised,  a believer who attends the Institutional Church loses the awareness of its position in God’s Kingdom  and forgets all their responsibilities as a Christian to establish and expand Jesus Christ’s Kingdom on earth..  They are put in such a comfort zone, physically, mentally and  emotionally trapped and  made blind to see the danger they are in.   Even when they watch  in front of them, millions  of people  roaring, screaming, dying in accidents, suicides, curses, sicknesses, violence, witchcraft even in their own family members,  they will be  enjoying the usual Church services thinking that it is not their work to deliver them . They think they are in the safe zone and their only duty is to thank God for keeping them there with a membership. Satan has hardened their hearts to such an extent that they think whatever help they want to offer  should go only to the Church. Only their Church, Pastor and other members deserve their tithe,  time,  Fellowship,  service, their compassion, sympathy etc.

But Jesus said, a good shepherd will go in search of a lost sheep , leaving all the 99 in the wilderness,

I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.” (John 10:16)

This verse speaks of  Jesus’ mission to unite all people, including those outside the traditional Christian Churches,  into one community of believers.

Jesus left this responsibility with His Church before He left for Heaven,  of bringing them together as one body of Christ.  Since then,  He is waiting to get this done by His Church. That is His  bride.  But the Church has done just the opposite!. Instead of the Jewish flock, it has raised a Christian flock and a structure which is unbreakable,  to protect this small flock.   All its resources, efforts, infrastructure, personnel are used  for protecting this flock (3% in India) . The other 97% are roaming in the wilderness, searching for their shepherd, not even realizing there is a shepherd who has come to save them. 

Luk 15:4  “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 

Luk 15:7  Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. 

Today 99 are in the wilderness 1 sheep (3%) are inside the Church. Where are the Shepherd today who will leave 99 sheep (believers)  in the forest go and seek the one who is lost(non believers?

In order to reach out to them the shepherd  should know the needs  of the people and society,

I remember one incident Dr. Raja , a missionary doctor working in a mission hospital in Uttrakhand, shared with us. One villager brought his son, who was a psychiatric patient for consultation and treatment. Instead of telling about the sickness, he was narrating the cause of sickness in his agony.

“My god is angry with me. I tried to please him by sacrifices. I gave one of my sheep as a sacrifice to my God (to the poojari).   Still his anger was not quenched. Gave a second one. Gave 18 sheep as  sacrifice . Still his anger is burning against me. My son is  not healed. I do not know what more I have to do”.

 Dr. Raja (a trainee of AOJ) was struggling to find an answer for this poor villager . He got it finally.  He told him,

“I have an answer for your question.  There is a God who came to this world as a sheep and sacrificed himself to quench the anger of God towards all the sinners including you. Would you like to know about this God?” He started listening. His face became brightened.

We, all of us,  are the fruits of  the labours of missionaries who  came from other countries, They  sold    all that they had, brought the money and  invested in our country  on non believers.  There were no believers .  They reflected the image of Jesus Christ in hospitals, schools, leprosarium,  orphanages, homes for the handicapped, mentally retarded, unwed mothers, widows and all kinds of downtrodden people in  the society. They did not build  Churches with AC facilities to make the believers comfortable and enjoy the Church services. There  were  no believers, no offering, no tithes,  All that they did was  serving the people night and day, who were  non believers, because they saw the image of Jesus in  their face.

Gen 1:27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 

Aren’t we all  human beings, (not only believers and Christians)  created in the image of God?

On Sundays, they worshipped either in their houses or in one of the corners of the centres as a small group. They shared the unconditional love  of Jesus Christ with the less privileged whom they were serving.

As Indian Church was increasing in  number, we  raised its eyes and looked up  to foreign countries. We  started adopting their style . Satan had already trapped and  misled them into prosperity gospel, and carnal teachings gave  way to solid nourishing food in those countries.  Indian Churches started receiving foreign funds and the love for money became the root of all evils among us too.  we see the bitter fruit of all these inside the Churches today.

Churches are  in competition  to have a bigger building, more tithes and more people. Their eyes are on innocent souls  and hearts prowling around  them for money and worldly assets.

There are 2 methods to gather the spoil  this year 2026!

  1. Inheriting  the Institutional Churches and rescuing the souls imprisoned there- believers.
  2. Conducting TIP Programmes to serve the society – non believers.
  1. Inheriting  the Institutional Churches  and  releasing the souls imprisoned there.

The local Church has  great responsibility  towards the people among whom  they  live.  Unless we, the believers keep ourselves bound to the people of the  locality we cannot be a light to  them. Unless we   identify ourselves with the local people, we will be strangers for them, no matter how many years we live in a place,   we will not be able to share the gospel with them.

Satan is watching the Institutional Churches with utmost care not to allow anyone to go out of the Church. They have introduced family card system, and other methods to tie them down to the  Church.

Jos 6:1-2s 6:1  Now Jericho was shut up inside and outside because of the people of Israel. None went out, and none came in. And the LORD said to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and mighty men of valor. 

The Lord is giving  the Institutional Churches  into our hands, along with its leaders  and the mighty men.

Jos 6:3  You shall march around the city, all the men of war going around the city once. Thus shall you do for six days. 

The Lord is teaching us a new strategy to enter into and inherit the Churches for the Lord. . All the AOJ Soldiers of each State and  Region should identify the biggest and the most prominent Church  in their city or locality. They shall divide all the  Churches in India among themselves.

Jos 6:4  Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. 

Those who go to inherit  the Churches for the Lord, should purify themselves to carry the Ark by a process of 6 days. (Special prayers, fasting, group prayer etc) They should prepare for 6 days by a minimum one hour worship  with a group of soldiers. As they go  with the Ark (carrying the presence of God) into  each Church, a group of 7 soldiers should be worshipping the Lord, joining in the online worship for 7 days. Those who go should be selected by the Core Team, men of war (Valiant)

Jos 6:16  And at the seventh time, when the priests had blown the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city.

After the 6 days of prayer , on  the 7th day,  they  directly can enter into the Church and can have a public worship . The fortresses of that particular Church will fall and you will have authority over the Church.

We can start gift schools or Troop Church or any of the AOJ operations  in the Churches .

 For the Lord has given you the Churches ! Going to 100 Churches located in the cities,  every man straight before him and capturing it.  Details will be shared in the Regional Meetings!

  2. Conducting TIP Programmes to serve the society

Towards the end of 2025, 4 AOJ Soldiers from 4 different Statesshared with me their burden to start something for the  less privileged in the society. They did not ask for any help but only permission from God. “Is it allowed in AOJ to start such a thing” was their question.

In individual prayer and community prayer we felt  strongly that this is a calling from the Lord at this time.

Mat 25:40  And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Since AOJ is established as a Church, it should take up the responsibility towards the society. We, as a Church  exist  in this world to be of service to them.

Mat 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. 

The Lord wants us, AOJ Soldiers to engage in good works, so that people will see the light in us (Jesus in us)  and give glory to the Father in Heaven.

Those who have calling to  start such  centres, are invited to start them. But we should not forget the fact that one of the main reasons of the deterioration of the ICs was misuse  and mismanagement of the funds allotted for conducting these services.  So let us ask God, what all precautions we should take against this.

The Elders of AOJ will pray over this and get the replies. It will be communicated with all of you shortly.
