January 2026 Prophetic Word: Forgiveness Is Unlocking Your Prosperity & First Fruits Principles
January 2026 marks the first full moon of the year and aligns with the Hebrew month of Tevet (Tov – “Good”), a prophetic season of purification, consecration, and new beginnings. We are positioned in Hebrew year 5786 and the Gregorian year 2026, making this a powerful crossover moment to reset foundations and align with God’s purposes.
January functions as a first-fruits month, not as a feast day, but as a principle—a beginning month where we consecrate ourselves through prayer, fasting, and giving according to Matthew 6. This is a time to be cleansed, made holy, and properly positioned to step into everything God has prepared for this year.
In this teaching, we explore the Torah portion Vayechi (Genesis 50) and the Haftarah reading from 1 Kings 2, comparing the lives of Joseph, Jacob, King David, and Solomon. Joseph’s declaration—“What you meant for evil, God meant for good (Tov)”—reveals a critical kingdom key for 2026: forgiveness unlocks prosperity.
Joseph refused to hold unforgiveness toward his brothers, recognizing that God sovereignly turned pain into provision and positioned him to save nations. This same principle applies today. If we want to walk in the true riches of the Kingdom, we must release debts, offenses, bitterness, and control.
David’s final instruction to Solomon in 1 Kings 2 reinforces this truth—prosperity flows from walking in God’s ways with a whole heart. When we know God is good and for us, obedience becomes a joy, not a burden.
Jesus affirmed this principle in Luke 16, revealing that the children of light must be wise and shrewd—releasing debts so that heavenly habitations and treasures are opened. Forgiveness is not weakness; it is spiritual authority.
Ask the Lord:
“What do You want me to give that proves I believe in Your goodness and Your greatness?”
God never instructs without blessing. He is righteous, and righteousness produces prosperity.
