Christmas Prayers and Blessings: 🎄✨

Q: What is Happy New Month of December?

Happy New Month of December is a popular Christian tradition, especially in Africa and among Pentecostal believers, where people welcome the new month with prayers, prophetic declarations, Bible verses, and blessings. It is a moment to thank God for seeing the past month and to decree divine favour, protection, breakthrough, and crowning glory for the new month (Psalm 65:11 – 'Thou crownest the year with thy goodness').

Q: Why do Christians pray special prayers at the beginning of December?

December is the last month of the year and carries strong spiritual significance. Believers use the entrance into December to cancel every evil carry-over from previous months, command the remaining 31 days to deliver pending blessings, and position themselves to end the year strong and enter the new year with testimony, just as Bishop David Oyedepo and Dr Chris Okafor teach in their 'Welcome to My Month' declarations.

Q: Which Bible verses are best for Happy New Month December prayers?

Top scriptures used by ODM users include: • Psalm 65:11 – “Thou crownest the year with thy goodness...” • Isaiah 43:18-19 – “Behold, I will do a new thing...” • Lamentations 3:22-23 – “His mercies are new every morning...” • Philippians 4:19 – Supply of every need • Numbers 6:24-26 – The priestly blessing • Deuteronomy 28:1-13 – Blessings of obedience.

Q: When is the best time to pray Happy New Month December prayers?

The most powerful time is from the night of 30th November (crossover night watch) into 1st December, especially 12:00 AM. However, you can still pray them throughout the first 7 days of December and receive the same results by faith.

Q: Is there a difference between 'Happy New Month' and 'Welcome to My Month of December'?

Yes. 'Happy New Month' is a general greeting. 'Welcome to My Month of...' is a prophetic declaration popularized by Dr Chris Okafor and other fire-brand ministries. For example: “Welcome to My Month of Crowning Glory”, “Welcome to My Month of Divine Acceleration”, etc. ODM Daily releases fresh prophetic declarations every month.
