Declare God’s promises of freedom over your life (Exodus 6:6-7).

5. Prepare Your Home and Heart for Passover
Rosh Chodesh Nisan leads up to Passover (Pesach), the feast of deliverance. In biblical times, God commanded the Israelites to prepare for the Passover by removing leaven (chametz) from their homes, symbolizing removal of sin, pride, and anything that hinders spiritual growth.
> “Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses.” — Exodus 12:19
Preparation Tip:
Use this time to clean not just your physical space but also your heart and mind.
Practical Action:
Clean out your home, getting rid of anything that no longer serves your spiritual walk.
Remove any negative habits, toxic relationships, or distractions.
Meditate on Psalm 51:10:
> "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."

6. Sow Seeds of Faith and Generosity
Rosh Chodesh Nisan is a time to give and bless others, just as God generously provided for the Israelites in the wilderness. It is a season of new beginnings and new harvests.
> "Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine." — Proverbs 3:9-10
Giving Tip:
Give to the poor, widows, orphans, or those in need as an act of faith.
Support a spiritual cause, ministry, or project that aligns with God’s purposes.
Practical Action:
Set aside a special offering to give as a firstfruit of the new season.
Bless someone unexpectedly—whether through a meal, a kind word, or financial help.
