THE ERROR MANY COMMITTED AT THE CROSSOVER NIGHT
There is a subtle force that combats our very own efforts.
Scripture says,
“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weigheth the spirits.” (Proverbs 16:2 KJV)
In a season where many things have been done, many words have been spoken, many ideas are emerging, many ideologies are forming, and many visions and missions are being launched, a question continues to echo in the hearts of those who truly bear burdens:
Why are we doing this?
What is sponsoring our actions?
The Lord asked through Haggai,
“Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?” (Haggai 1:4 KJV)
Why is it that many times when we speak about God visiting a man, it is always about what God gives that man?
Why is it that when we pray, we expect a response from God, and that response is usually confined to the satisfaction of our own desires?
James exposes this clearly:
“Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.” (James 4:3 KJV)
Why are we using God?
At the crossover into 2026, during the prophetic night, men gathered in churches to lay petitions before the heart of the Father concerning the new year.
We prayed.
We fasted.
We spoke in tongues.
Yet the Scripture asks,
“Who hath required this at your hand?” (Isaiah 1:12 KJV)
We entered the year prophetically.
We danced prophetic dances.
We entered the year as praying spirits, as prayer beings, as prayer beasts.
But the question remains: What were we praying for?
Were our prayer topics resonating from the heart of God, or merely from the heart of man?
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.” (Isaiah 55:8 KJV)
We brought our projects before God and said, “Father, this is what I want to accomplish this year.”
But did we pause to ask, “Father, what do You want to do with me this year?”
Paul understood this posture when he said,
“Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” (Acts 9:6 KJV)
How many prayed from the standpoint of burden and said,
“Father, help me fulfill Your will this year”?
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13 KJV)
How many said,
“God, use me for Your purposes this year”?
“But ye are a chosen generation… that ye should shew forth the praises of him.” (1 Peter 2:9 KJV)
How many said,
“Clothe me with Your burdens”?
“When he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion.” (Matthew 9:36 KJV)
How many asked,
“Reveal to me Your counsel for my family this year”?
“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go.” (Psalm 32:8 KJV)
Instead, many of our prayers were filled with:
“God, bless me.”
“May I marry this year.”
“May I buy a car this year.”
“May I, may I, may I.”
It is all about self.
The Scripture is clear,
“For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.” (Philippians 2:21 KJV)
And this is a bitter truth of our generation: we are using God.
That God blessed you is not an exploit.
That God gave you a car is not an exploit.
That God caused you to marry is not an exploit.
Jesus warned us,
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness.” (Matthew 6:33 KJV)
There is a problem when all you prayed for at crossover was what God should do for you, and you never asked what you should do for Him.
“You are looking for me, not because you saw the miracles, but because you ate the loaves and were filled.” (John 6:26 KJV)
You never ascended into God to discover what He had ordained to accomplish through you according to His Kairos, while aligning with your Kronos.
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV)
You are searching for what God must do for you, but have you found what you must do for God?
“For we are labourers together with God.” (1 Corinthians 3:9 KJV)
If revival must come, then the narrative must change.
“So you prayed, but why?
You fasted, but why?
You interceded, but why?
You went to the mountain ten times last year, but why?”
“Rend your heart, and not your garments.” (Joel 2:13 KJV)
What motive lay at the depth of your heart?
What burden sponsored those actions?
“I went on seventy mission trips this year.”
Why?
“Take heed that ye do not your alms before men.” (Matthew 6:1 KJV)
“You fasted seventy four days.”
Why?
“Is it such a fast that I have chosen?” (Isaiah 58:5 KJV)
Today we hear messages like:
✅“Seven steps to accessing favor.”
✅“Nine keys to uncommon blessings.”
✅“Thirty four signs God is about to bless you.”
Paul warned us:
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine.” (2 Timothy 4:3 KJV)
Yet in all these activities, we cannot find ourselves.
We cannot find the burdens of God resting upon our hearts.
“I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge.” (Ezekiel 22:30 KJV)
I listen to sermons.
I listen to testimonies.
And while people clap at what God has done, my heart bleeds.
Not because God has not acted, but because what God has done is not enough.
“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” (Romans 8:19 KJV)
The problem is not that we don’t want God to move.
The problem is that we are using God.
“And if a generation must encounter revival, the narrative must change.
And if the narrative must change, the motives must change.”
“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10 KJV)
