“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.“
I DECREE and declare that the Angel of His presence shall bring you glad tidings of salvation, redemption, provision, preservation, restoration, victory, deliverance, help, divine visitation, and breakthroughs – for you and your household – throughout this month of June 2025, in Jesus’ name.
I decree and declare that the news you shall hear throughout this month shall bring revival, strength, and focus into your spirit. Just as when Jacob heard the news that Joseph was still alive and did not believe it until he saw the wagons Joseph sent to bring him and his family to Egypt, and his spirit revived, so shall you experience revival in your spirit by virtue of the news you shall hear, in Jesus’ name (Genesis 45:25-27).

Introduction
Glad tidings are the heralding of good news of joy and celebration that brings about the fulfilment of prophecies and promises of God in our lives, as it happened in the case of Jesus. In Jesus’ case, there were prophecies concerning His birth in Isaiah 9:6 and Isaiah 52:7 respectively.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).

“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” (Isaiah 52:7).
These prophecies were fulfilled in Luke 2:10-11: “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”
Glad tidings is a message of salvation through Jesus Christ. It signifies the preaching of God’s kingdom, the fulfilment of His promises, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Good tidings is also characterized as a season of divine visitation, announcement, restoration, and great awakening of spiritual revival in our lives and nations. It’s a season that causes you to rejoice and celebrate the faithfulness of God and His works in our lives.
Mary the mother of Jesus experienced it in Luke 1:26-33; the children of Israel sang a new song in Exodus 15:1-21; and the Jews had a feast called “Purim,” a joyous season for the Jewish people in the Persian Empire celebrating their deliverance from Haman’s plot to annihilate them (Esther 2:18).
I pray that in this season, the sound of celebration – of marriages, pregnancies, births of new babies, new jobs, contracts, scholarships, opportunities, and great awakening of spiritual fire and revival – shall be heard in our habitation, in Jesus’ name.
