There is something sacred about the last night of a year. The air carries both the weight of everything you have been through and the electricity of everything that is coming. On the last night of 2025, Life Changing Church gathered at Ndejje-Lubugumu for a night that was not just a celebration. It was a declaration. A decree. A moment where a people fully discipled to subdue nations for God stood together and said with one voice: 2026 is our year to emerge and to build.
A Night That Set the Tone
As the final hours of 2025 ticked away, Life Changing Church came together for a powerful night of prayers, praises, worship, prophecies, declarations, anointing, and emerging. This was not a party. This was a people positioning themselves before God for the year ahead. Every prayer prayed that night was a seed. Every declaration spoken was a foundation laid. Every moment of worship was a surrendering of everything we were in 2025 and a reaching forward into everything God has called us to be in 2026.
Arise, Shine
Isaiah 60 opens with one of the most powerful commands in all of Scripture. Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. This is not a suggestion. It is a command from God to His people. In a world covered in darkness and thick darkness over the peoples, God is calling Life Changing Church to be the light that refuses to stay hidden. The glory of God is upon this church. The glory of God is upon every person who calls Life Changing Church home. And in 2026, that glory is not staying inside these walls. It is going to the nations.
What Does It Mean to Have Audacity?
Audacity is not arrogance. It is not recklessness. Audacity is the holy boldness that comes from knowing who God is and what He has promised. Isaiah 60 tells us that nations will come to your light and kings to the brightness of your dawn. That is not a small promise. That is a kingdom promise for a people who dare to believe God enough to emerge and to build. In 2026, Life Changing Church is not asking for permission to rise. We are rising because God has commanded it.
Emerge
To emerge means to come out. To become visible. To step into a new season with a new boldness. Isaiah 60 paints a picture of a people whose sons come from afar, whose daughters are carried on the hip, whose heart throbs and swells with joy because the abundance of the nations is turning toward them. This is the year the seed breaks through the soil. This is your year to emerge into the purpose God has been preparing you for. The world needs to see what God has been building in you. Do not stay hidden any longer.

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
To Build
Emerging is just the beginning. After you emerge, you must build. Isaiah 60 declares that foreigners will rebuild your walls and their kings will serve you. God is not just calling us to stand still in 2026. He is calling us to build with boldness, with vision, and with the full confidence that He who promised is faithful. Building requires discipline, sacrifice, and the willingness to keep going when the process gets hard. In 2026, Life Changing Church is committed to building stronger families, greater faith, financial wealth that funds the kingdom, and communities that reflect the glory of God to the nations.
The Glory Is Rising
Isaiah 60 closes with a promise that should stir something deep in every believer. The least will become a thousand and the smallest a mighty nation. I am the Lord. In its time I will do this swiftly. God is not slow. He is strategic. And everything He has been doing in and through Life Changing Church has been building toward this moment. The glory is rising. The light is breaking through. And a people fully discipled to subdue nations for God is stepping into the fullness of their calling.
