Jesus, Be Our Fix in 2026: ‘A Year of Increase’ – by Dr Jason Hubbard

As we step into 2026, our cry is simple and focused: Jesus, be our fix in 2026!  In a world filled with noise, distraction, fear, and competing voices, the call of God for this season is unmistakable - fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).

Can we ask this year for an increase in the revelation and beauty of Jesus?

At the foundation of all true increase is this truth: Jesus must remain our singular focus. When Jesus is our fix, everything else finds its proper alignment. May he be our fix in 2026!

A Key to Increase: Stewarding Our Tongues

One of the practical keys to seeing supernatural increase in our lives is learning to steward our tongues. How we speak about Jesus Christ - about others, and to one another - really matters!

We are living in a time of a civil war of words, a constant swirl of competing narratives amplified by media, technology, and artificial intelligence. Discernment in these days hinges on which voices we allow to shape us. This is a season marked by the ‘battle of the voice.’ Are we speaking words of life, or words of fear? Our words can build up or tear down, create hope and healing or despair and destruction, bring blessing or cursing, bring life or bring death (Prov. 18:21) through the power of our voice!

The Fear of the Lord

Psalm 34 invites us: “Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.” Those who fear the Lord lack no good thing. Scripture is clear about the promises attached to the fear of the Lord:

• It is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 1:7)
• It brings understanding and knowledge of God (Proverbs 2:5)
• It prolongs life (Proverbs 10:27)
• It brings confidence, strength, riches, honor, and life (Proverbs 13:13; 22:4)
• It helps us overcome sin (Proverbs 16:6)
• It releases divine protection—“The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him” (Psalm 34:7)

The psalmist connects the fear of the Lord directly to the tongue:

“Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.  Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,  keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies” – Psalm 34:11-13

When the Tongue Blocks Increase

Our tongues participate in evil through lying and deception, gossip and slander, accusation,  and complaining/grumbling. Scripture warns that grumbling kept Israel from entering the promised land (2 Cor. 10). These sinful tendencies hinder the increase of God’s blessing in our lives.

This calls for a moment of confession and consecration—yielding our tongues fully to the purposes of God.

What Our Tongues Are Meant to Do

1. Praise – “I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalm 34:1).
2. Thanksgiving – It is God’s will that we give thanks in all things.
3. Prayer  – Prayer in Jesus’ name increases divine activity on the earth.
4. Honor and Blessing – Speaking life over one another builds the community of faith.

Praying in the Spirit: A Pathway to Increase

Scripture reveals that praying in tongues is a powerful gift given to the Church. When we pray in tongues, we speak to God, uttering mysteries by the Spirit (1 Corinthians 14:2). Our spirit prays beyond the limits of our understanding. Tongues function as prayer, praise, and thanksgiving,

The benefits of praying in tongues include:

• Increase in personal strengthening (1 Corinthians 14:4; Jude 20)
• Increase in Spirit-led prayer, praise and thanksgiving (Romans 8, I Cor. 14)
• Increase in effective spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:18-19)

Praying in tongues is a gateway gift -  a gateway to greater revelation of Jesus just as the apostle Paul experienced profound insight while speaking in tongues more than all the Corinthian church (1 Cor. 14:18). 

History bears witness to this power. Jackie Pullinger, a young British woman, ministered in the darkness of Hong Kong’s Kowloon Walled City—one of the most lawless places on earth at the time. Through persistent prayer in the Spirit and speaking in tongues, God broke addictions, delivered lives, and demonstrated His power where human ability failed. As Jackie used to share, “God does not need our ability—He needs our availability”

Jesus Must Be Proclaimed as Supreme Lord and Reigning King

Ultimately, may we proclaim the Supremacy of Jesus with our speech -

• His absolute supremacy over all powers
• His lordship over nations, history, and every sphere of life
• His right to allegiance, obedience, and worship

Jesus is not merely the Savior of individuals, but the central hope for cities, cultures, and nations.

• He is God’s answer to injustice, idolatry, and broken systems
• Proclaiming Jesus includes declaring His reign over public life, not just private faith
• The gospel is global and historical, not just personal

As believers, let’s not just talk about what Jesus gives (forgiveness, peace, purpose, heaven) but also proclaim who Jesus is.

• Jesus is not merely the means to blessings - He is the ultimate message, the treasure, the King
• Our speech should exalt His person, glory, authority, and worth
• Proclamation flows from adoration
• Witness is strongest when it overflows from captivated hearts
• We speak because Jesus is worthy to be spoken of

In summary, speaking about Jesus means:

• Centering everything on Christ Himself
• Proclaiming His supremacy and reign
• Letting witness flow from worship
• Using language that magnifies His glory
• Declaring Him as the hope of the nations
• Calling people to allegiance, not convenience
• Praying for his exaltation that brings transformation across peoples, cities and nations

As we fix our eyes on Jesus in 2026, walk in the fear of the Lord, steward our tongues, yield ourselves fully to the Spirit, and exalt Jesus in everything we do, say, and pray, we will see a year of supernatural increase - for His glory and our joy.

A Prayer of Blessing for 2026 -

“We proclaim over our families that 2026 is crowned with the goodness of the Lord Jesus.  We declare his peace within our homes, unity in our relationships, and divine purpose guiding every decision. May Joy increase, Strength be renewed, and God’s favor surround our households like a shield. As we welcome this year, we stand on the promise of Scripture: “You crown the year with Your goodness” (Psalm 65:11). This will be a year of victory, overflow of grace, and lasting testimonies of God’s faithfulness in Christ Jesus” - Yanira Gonzales, Clamor (IPC Latin America Prayer Council) Leader
