Marching Orders (2026 Prophetic Guide And Instructions) by Apostle Selman

Lift your hands and give God quality praise. Give Him all the glory, honour and praise.
Tell Him “THANK YOU” for 2026; for another opportunity to learn His Ways. Be glorified and lifted, oh Lord!

Ask God for a life-defining encounter tonight.
Pray: Father, give us a life-defining encounter by Your Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ!

2026 is the Year that when others say there is a casting down; for you, there will be a lifting up.
This Year will be the most visible Year of God’s favour, blessings, goodness and power in your life, in the name of Jesus Christ!

“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.” 1 Corinthians 9:24 (KJV)
“And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV)

DECLARE: IT IS MY YEAR OF DELIVERANCE AND EXEMPTION!

How you begin the year is very important. Starting with wisdom guarantees victory at the end.

“And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth. And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.” Exodus 8:22-23 (KJV)

It is important for you to believe that deliverance is real and exemption is real!
God delivers and God exempts His people.

“A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold And see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, Even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.”
Psalm 91:7-11 (KJV)

“He shall deliver thee in six troubles: Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. In famine he shall redeem thee from death: And in war from the power of the sword. Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.”
Job 5:19-22 (KJV)

“Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all.”
Isaiah 65:8 (KJV)

“And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
2 Timothy 4:18 (KJV)

“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain,” – 1 Corinthians 9:24 (KJV)

“And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” – Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV)

Running effectively is predicated on:
1. Having a vision
2. The degree to which the vision is clear and well understood.

“Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all.” Isaiah 65:8 (KJV)

Prophecy: The Lord delivers you from every evil work – manipulation, deception, and more – in the name of Jesus Christ. He will not only deliver you; He will preserve you, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Points To Note On 2026 Theme: “The Year of Deliverance and Exemption”:

1. The Bible is very clear that one of the defining characteristics of the end times is that they will be perilous
(Isaiah 60:2, 2 Timothy 3:1-4)
2. The Bible also offers us the promise of deliverance, victory, and exemption.
(Psalm 34:4-7, 17-20, 107:6, 1 John 5:4, 2 Corinthians 2:14, 1 Corinthians 15:57, Isaiah 43:1)

Three (3) Levels Of Engagement With The Word:
1. Promises
2. Principles
3. ⁠Prophecies

1. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3. ⁠O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4. ⁠I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5. ⁠They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6. ⁠This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7. ⁠The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Psalm 34: 1-7 (KJV)

One of the blessings of Scripture is that it informs us about these things happening before hand:
Anytime we interact with scriptures, it is on these layers:
1. Promises: Gods commitment towards us
2. ⁠Principles: Gleaning wisdom on things to happen
3. Prophecies: Modus operandi of the kingdom

I declare: In the name of Jesus Christ, you will enjoy the ministry of angels!

DECLARE: IN 2026, I AM VICTORIOUS!

I decree and declare: every report heard or yet to be heard, that seeks to stir fear, I silence its voice. I silence doubt and fear completely, in the name of Jesus Christ!
By the integrity of God’s Word, this year must be different!

I speak to you: for every shame you endured, receive double honour.

The same ones who laughed at you will encounter the faithfulness of God through your life. They will learn by your testimony and through your life that God is a Lifter, in the name of Jesus Christ!

In the name above every other name, I take authority over the spirit of fear. Let it give way now. This is the year you will not fear.

I silence the voice of doubt and the voice of fear. God will surprise you this year; the pain and shame of last year will not carry over into this one.

You must walk in victory. Welcome to your season of deliverance-deliverance that is evident in your life, a freedom that cannot be denied.

I speak to you: for every shame, receive double honour. The same people who laughed at you will witness the goodness of God upon your life.

In this year 2026, your life will become a living testimony-a reference point for many. They will learn the faithfulness of God through your life, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Every time a Believer is taught about the reality of darkness, it is not meant to instill fear, but to establish the victory of Christ as a stronghold in your mind and in your life.

The difference between deliverance and exemption is this: deliverance rescues you in the midst of calamity, while exemption prevents you from being a participant in the calamity or negative event altogether.

– The reality of darkness should not threaten us; the victory of Christ must remain a stronghold in our lives.
– When we magnify darkness and the wickedness of men, we limit our ability to perceive the faithfulness of God.
• Scripture is rich with promises of deliverance, victory, and exemption for the Believer.
• Deliverance is God rescuing you when you are already in a negative situation. It is Him bringing you out of it.
• Exemption, on the other hand, is divine prevention, being preserved from the negative occurrence altogether.

I declare: Those who have prayed for your downfall will eat from your hands (receive help and sustenance through you) this year, in the name of Jesus Christ!“And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.”
Acts 12:11 (KJV)

In the name of Jesus Christ, whatever carries deception, whatever leads to shame or ends in cash, you are exempted from it!

This is the year Haman will be hung on the gallows he built. In the name of Jesus, the God of vengeance will arise on your behalf!

There are battles you will not need to fight this year. This is your year of vindication.
Every conspiracy against your family, your job, and your integrity, the God who vindicates men will arise and vindicate you this year, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Those who prayed for your downfall will eat from your hands this year, in the name of Jesus. Even those who secretly desired to see you weep will receive sustenance through you, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Keys To Experiencing Deliverance and Exemption in The Year 2026:
1. Cultivate a vibrant, ever-growing relationship with God.
(2 Timothy 1:12)
2. Commit to a life of prayer, especially the confession and the declaration of the promises of God.
(Psalm 107:2, Matthew 12:37, Ecclesiastes 8:4, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
3. Grow in the knowledge of the Word; contend for spiritual intelligence.
(2 Peter 1:2, Psalm 82:5-7)

This is a year to develop intimacy and a functional relationship with God.
This is the year to fight
PRAYERLESSNESS. An attack on your prayer life is an attack on your victory.

Anything that gains access to your life does so because it is received, often through fear or ignorance.

Make it a mandate to guard your life deliberately. Reject every thought, speaking, and confession that does not align with God’s promises concerning you (2 Corinthians 10:4–5).

Fear, is a magnet, it can attract negative possibilities. This is the year where we reject every idle thought that doesn’t give credence to God’s Word. Understanding that God is a life-giving Spirit and any other voice is contrary.
– Our ability to use our voice in declarations will navigate us out of negative situations into victory.

When the enemy attempts to plant thoughts in your mind, your rejection of them becomes a contribution to his defeat.

Lift your voice in prayer; register your presence and authority in the realm of the Spirit. Do not permit negative conclusions to be formed over your life.

Commit yourself to a life of prayer, so that even when there is a gang-up in the realm of the Spirit, your voice is registered there. Let nothing concerning your destiny be decided without your participation and contribution.

This year, be prayerful!

Your peace in life depends on the level of knowledge you possess. This year, contend for mental transformation. You cannot walk in victory when walking in ignorance.

Knowledge is likened to light, and in the kingdom, the kind of light you carry matters. There are levels of light in this kingdom.

The degree of light you have depends on how victorious you are in the kingdom.

This year, contend for the highest level of spiritual illumination.

Provided there’s darkness, you’re in your night, provided there’s light, you’re in your day.

The Bible says, “God made two great lights,” and He called the darkness night and the light day.

Night is not 7 p.m. or 10 p.m.; it is the absence of light in your life. Provided there is darkness, you are in night; provided there is light, you are in day.

Go for knowledge. Be intentional about gaining the light and the mysteries of the Kingdom until you wield them with precision, like a master surgeon, until you tame life itself.

Keys To Experiencing Deliverance and Exemption in the Year 2026:
1. Cultivate a vibrant, ever-growing relationship with God.
(2 Timothy 1:12)
2. Commit to a life of prayer, especially the confession and the declaration of the promises of God.
(Psalm 107:2, Matthew 12:37, Ecclesiastes 8:4, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
3. Grow in the knowledge of the Word; contend for spiritual intelligence.
(2 Peter 1:2, Psalm 82:5-7)
4. Be determined to live by the Word of God.
(Matthew 4:4)
5. Remain ever-thankful and ever-joyful!
(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Philippians 4:4, Habakkuk 3:18)
6. Embrace the advantage of the prophetic – prophetic insights, instructions, declarations, and coverings (especially from trusted vessels).
7. Walk in love.
(John 13:34-35)

Let The Word of God be the final authority in every and in all matters in your life.

“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” – Matthew 4:4 (KJV)

Bread represents human effort, strategy, or provision. Yet, true life is sustained by the Word of God alone. Be determined to live a Word-compliant life.

2026 is the year we will thank God for His finger and rejoice as if we have seen His full hand.

Remember to thank God and praise Him lavishly for every one of His doings and every provision or giving.

Don’t wait for special occasions to rejoice! Find a reason to rejoice EVERY DAY!

Decide to live an ever-thankful, ever-joyful life, regardless of any news, sayings, or happenings around you!

The world is full of angry people. Learn to rejoice in The Lord!

– Remain ever grateful, don’t wait to see The Hand of God. While the cloud is still forming, remain ever grateful and joyful this season.
– Don’t wait for special occasions to rejoice. Find a reason to rejoice in every situation. (Romans 8:28)

Joy is an act of faith; it is proof that God is dependable!

Gratitude and joy are aspects that psychology, health and wellness, and other religions agree can improve longevity.

Joy is an act of faith. It is proof that you know God is dependable and your ability to rest easy on the integrity of God.

Even though the prophetic is sometimes misunderstood or misused, you must never ignore its ministry.

Even Jesus Christ Himself was confirmed by three prophets before His ministry; Simeon, Anna the prophetess, and John the Baptist.

Do not despise the prophetic! Embrace it and step into the advantage it brings!

When God calls a man, there are certain possibilities and covenants that follow the called.

Our degree of alignment determines the sustainability of this prophetic alignment. This prophetic covering is a system of advantage that midwives the person called while the person grows in the Spirit.

Your connection (i.e where you’re planted) can determine what doors open for you.

Where you are connected to, can determine what doors and territories open up to you.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I decree: doors will open for you!

For some, covenants, intercessions, goodwill, and relationships have already been working to open that door on your behalf, in the name of Jesus!

Love is powerful and it doesn’t fail but there’s wisdom to love.

There are certain people who you will have to love from afar to avoid scars.

A life of hate always cheats the person who is hating.

Fight hate, bitterness, and offence, and allow God to fight your battles on your behalf.

Declare: I receive grace to walk in love!

I pray for you: That this year 2026, the prophetic word of deliverance and exemption will answer for you, your children, and family, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Pray: Let this prophetic word of deliverance and exemption manifest in my life and family, in the name of Jesus Christ!

You will only hear of darkness; Goshen will surround you, and neither you nor your family will experience it.

It is God’s desire that every Believer who is part of this vision, connected to this vision, and benefitting from this vision becomes a more perfect portrait of “The Koinonia Believer”.
Three Areas of Emphasis for Koinonia for the Year 2026:
1. Spiritual Growth
2. ⁠Victorious Living
3. ⁠Purpose and Fulfillment

Seven-Fold Identity of The Koinonia Believer:
1. A spiritually vibrant Believer
2. A Believer with Christ-like character
3. An intelligent and transformed Believer having a through understanding of God’s Word and knowing how to apply it to bring profiting.
4. A highly anointed and empowered Believer.
5. A responsible, purpose-driven Believer.
6. A trained and refined agent of societal and territorial transformation (Nation-Builders)
7. A fulfilled Believer

In building the fullness of Christ in a Believer, there are three areas to focus on:
1. The Nature of Christ: the fruit and character of the Holy Spirit
2. The Wisdom of Christ: His works and ways.
3. The Power of Christ: signs and wonders, supernatural living.
Anytime you see lopsidedness in the growth of a Believer, one of these is missing. This is the key to building a wholesome Believer.

The Koinonia Believer as described, is a product of the unique teaching Ministry and training strategy that God has given us.
Koinonia’s training strategy cuts across eight (😎 areas:
1. Salvation (soul-winning)
2. ⁠Transformation
3. ⁠Empowerment
4. ⁠The supernatural or the miraculous
5. ⁠Victory and Dominion
6. ⁠Leadership and Purpose
7. ⁠Unity and Love
8. ⁠Fulfilment

The KOINONIA Believer is a product of a unique teaching ministry and the training strategy bespoke to this house.
The training strategy cuts across these areas:
1. Soul winning
2. Transformation
3. Empowerment
4. The Supernatural-The miraculous
5. Victory and Dominion
6. Leadership and Purpose
7. Unity and Love
8. Fulfillment

Mentorship and capacity-building follow a strategy. When results fall short, it is usually due to either the course content or the person delivering the message.

Effective capacity building requires both a well-structured course content and a teacher who fully understands how to deliver it.

Every time you represent Christ well, you bring honour to His name and also, honour to the name of the institution and ministry mentoring you.

In the name of Jesus, I pray for you: a time will come when being a faithful KOINONIA member will be equivalent to holding a PhD, because of the holistic wisdom, knowledge gained, and training received.

In the name of Jesus Christ, a time will come when mentioning that you’re a KOINONIA member will open untold doors to you, in Jesus Name.

This year, don’t waste your time; submit yourself to learning and watch what God makes out of your life!

There is a way that leads to power, there is a way that leads to the anointing, there is a way that leads to the version of you God has ordained!

This year, I prophesy over you, you will be a sign and a wonder!

How to Maximise The Year Of Deliverance and Exemption:
1. Be intentional about being present and participating in every service and ministry activity. (Hebrews 10:25)
2. Maximise the leverage of our Koinonia Media Ministry (YouTube – Koinonia Global, our engrafted words, clips of testimonies, etc).
3. Obtain grace and commit to practicing the principles learnt.

See every service this year as a time for your development. See every service as an apostolic and prophetic training program that builds Christ in us. Don’t cherry-pick programs, embrace the full ministry, likened to a balanced diet in nutrition. Our role is to trust the leadership of The Spirit and the teaching priest.

Satan’s way of destroying men is by increasing their distance from light.

Learn to value The Word more than the messenger. Learn to respect the Word preached, because the message is more powerful than the messenger.

Trust The Word above the person! Do not be absent just because the messenger is absent – it is idolatry.

Be a practitioner of The Word by placing your faith in The Word of God and not just the person delivering it.

When you are part of a ministry raising, mentoring, and blessing you, you have a responsibility under God to become an active contributor to the advancement, growth, and sustenance of the vision through:
1. Your presence
2. ⁠Your prayers
3. ⁠The testimonies and results from your life (Psalm 22:22)
4. Ingathering and invitations
5. ⁠Your giving

Five (5) Channels through which God flows to bless men during the service:
1. Prayer
2. Worship
3. Testimonies
4. Our giving
5. The Word

Testimony schedules a repetition of the possibilities you are seeing.

Let someone encounter Jesus Christ because of you!

I pray that this year, you will not leave the responsibility of leading souls to the man of God alone. May it be through your life, your words, and your example that your friends, neighbors, and family come to know Jesus.

I pray for you: this year, you will not leave the work of ingathering or shepherding to the man of God alone. Through your labour in in-gathering, you will draw men into the Kingdom, and many will recognize and honor your passion for God’s house, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Make it a point of duty to be a sower and giver financially. It is a kingdom culture.
Sometimes, fulfilling this means recognizing a need in God’s house, picking up the burden, bearing the cost, and showing up as a responsible Believer.

Having a parasitic mentality pegs an individual at a certain level.
You are not fully living as a responsible child of the Kingdom if your seed has not participated in advancing God’s work.
As a responsible Kingdom citizen, ask God to grant you the grace and means to contribute to His work.
Become a giver, not merely a taker!

The grace from the head is what flows from the head. As a leader, make it a culture to be a giver. Give without hypocrisy. The greatest kind of giving are those done beyond the prying eyes of men; where only God sees and He alone can reward.

Pray: Father, I receive by faith the words You have spoken to me, tonight.

I receive Your words for my shaping, my building, and for living a victorious life.

Pray: Lord, I obtain grace to learn the ways of God afresh and in ever-increasing dimensions.

Pray: Lord, I receive the grace to live by The Word. I receive the doing grace!
