Theme: The Heart of Every CommandScripture: Matthew 22:36–40 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’This is the first and greatest commandment.And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Devotional Thought Everything God calls us to do hangs on love.Loving God with all our heart shapes the way we live — but loving people the way He loves them reveals that our hearts truly belong to Him. It’s easy to chase purpose and forget the Person.It’s easy to serve God publicly but hold back love privately.But when the fire of revival burns within us, it always leads to love — first upward, then outward. When kings lead without love, they become harsh.When priests serve without love, they become hollow.But when love fuels both authority and service, heaven touches earth. Loving God and loving people doesn’t make us soft — it makes us strong enough to carry the weight of His Kingdom.Because when love is the motive, obedience becomes joy, and purpose flows naturally. Let’s be a church marked by love — love that heals, forgives, restores, and builds bridges.That’s what makes us different. That’s what makes us His. ❤️ Prayer Father, thank You for Your love — the kind that never gives up, never runs out, and never fails.Teach me to love You fully and to love others freely.Break down walls in my heart where pride, fear, or offence have taken root.Let Your love flow through me — into my family, my church, and my city.May New Season Church be known for Your love above all else.In Jesus’ name, amen. Declaration ❤️ Love is the heartbeat of kings and the fragrance of priests.I love God with all my heart.I love people as He has loved me.Every command, every calling, and every purpose flows from love.

Theme: Think God’s ThoughtsScripture: Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Devotional Thought Our minds are the steering wheel of our lives.What we think about most will eventually shape what we believe — and what we believe shapes how we live. The enemy doesn’t always need to defeat us outright; sometimes he just needs to distract us.If he can clutter our thoughts with fear, pride, comparison, or discouragement, our vision becomes blurry — and we start living beneath what God has called us to. That’s why Paul tells us to guard our thoughts — not casually, but intentionally.Because a pure heart and a clear mind open the door for divine vision. As priests, we protect purity.As kings, we protect purpose.When our hearts are clean and our minds are fixed on what’s good, we see with Heaven’s perspective. Gratitude clears the fog.Worship resets the lens.And God’s peace gives us focus for the future. Today, take a moment to ask: What am I thinking about most?If it doesn’t look like Jesus, think again. Prayer Father, thank You for giving me the mind of Christ.Renew my thoughts today — remove every lie, every distraction, and every heavy thought that doesn’t belong.Fill me with Your peace and purity.Give our leaders and our church clear vision that aligns with Heaven’s purpose.May our thoughts reflect Your truth and our hearts reflect Your love.In Jesus’ name, amen. Declaration 👑 Gratitude keeps my heart steady. Vision keeps me moving forward.My mind is set on what is pure and true.My thoughts are aligned with Heaven.I see clearly because my heart is clean.

Theme: Holy Spirit, Come!Scripture: Joel 2:28–29 “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.Your sons and daughters will prophesy,your old men will dream dreams,your young men will see visions.Even on my servants, both men and women,I will pour out my Spirit in those days.” Devotional Thought Every move of God begins with a cry: “Lord, pour out Your Spirit again.” This is not a prayer of desperation — it’s a prayer of expectation.Because the outpouring isn’t a one-time event from the past; it’s the heartbeat of God for His people today. The Holy Spirit isn’t limited to a moment, a service, or a select few.He fills sons and daughters. He empowers young and old. He awakens servants and leaders.When His Spirit comes, ordinary people begin to walk in extraordinary power. At Pentecost, a small group of believers said yes — and the world changed.That same Spirit still waits for hearts that are open, surrendered, and hungry for more. As priests, we carry the oil.As kings, we release it into our world.And as His sons and daughters, we simply say, “Yes, Lord — pour it out again.” Prayer Holy Spirit, we welcome You.We don’t just want a moment; we want Your presence to saturate every part of our lives.Pour out Your Spirit over New Season Church — on our children, our youth, our families, and our leaders.Let dreams awaken, faith arise, and miracles flow again.Revive us, Lord, until Pretoria East burns bright with Your presence.In Jesus’ name, amen. Declaration 💧 Priests carry the oil. Kings pour it out.I am filled to overflow.The Spirit of God is upon me —and through me, revival flows.

Theme: Never Let the Flame DieScripture: Leviticus 6:12–13 “The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on it. The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out.” Devotional Thought Fire doesn’t keep itself burning.It needs fuel. It needs care. It needs consistency. God’s presence works the same way.When the fire of the Holy Spirit ignites our hearts, it’s not a one-time moment — it’s an invitation to tend the flame. Every act of obedience, every whispered prayer, every song of surrender adds wood to the altar.When we stop showing up, the flame weakens — not because God left, but because we stopped feeding what He started. As priests, we’re called to tend His fire.As kings, we’re called to protect His vision.When we do both — when obedience meets stewardship — the church becomes a place where God’s presence never fades. The question isn’t, “Did God move?” The question is, “Did I keep the fire?”Because His fire never runs out… it just waits for someone to tend it again. Prayer Lord, thank You for the fire You’ve started in my heart and in our church.Teach me to tend it well.Where my worship has grown quiet, reignite it.Where obedience has slipped, realign me.Make New Season Church a house where Your presence burns brightly — every day, in every heart.Let Your flame never go out in us.In Jesus’ name, amen. Declaration 🔥 Priests keep the fire. Kings protect the vision.Today, I choose to tend the flame.My obedience is fuel.My worship is firewood.Your presence will not go out in me.

Theme: Thankful Hearts & Clean HandsScripture: Isaiah 57:15 “For this is what the high and exalted One says—He who lives forever, whose name is holy: ‘I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.’” Devotional Thought There’s something sacred about the altar — not the physical one we build, but the place in our hearts where we meet God.It’s where we return to say, “Lord, I’m here again. I’m Yours.” The same God who sits enthroned above creation also draws near to those who bow low. His presence isn’t attracted to perfection — it’s drawn to humility.When we come before Him with thankful hearts and clean hands, we make space for revival to begin — not just around us, but within us. Revival doesn’t start with noise, crowds, or moments. It starts quietly — when one heart says yes again. When kings forget the altar, they lose their authority. When priests neglect the fire, the presence fades.But when both return — when our worship meets His mercy — the flame burns again. So today, we return.Not to earn His presence, but to acknowledge it.Not to impress, but to surrender.And in that place of surrender, God breathes life again. Prayer Father, thank You for Your faithfulness.Thank You for the moments You’ve met us at the altar before.Today, we return — hearts open, hands lifted, ready for You.Forgive us for the times we’ve let the flame grow dim.Revive us again, Lord. Breathe fresh life into Your people and into Your church.Let Your presence be our prize.In Jesus’ name, amen. Declaration 🔥 Before we reign as kings, we bow as priests.I return to the altar today.My heart is open. My hands are clean.The fire burns again.
