Sunil Poonen - The Promise of Shekinah for the New Year
Summary
Sunil Poonen encourages believers to embrace humility and resist complaining spirits as they enter 2026, using biblical imagery of sticks and staffs to illustrate how God builds His church with those who depend on Him completely. Drawing from stories like Aaron's budding staff and Elisha's axe, he teaches that God restores the broken and rejected, making them fruitful as branches connected to Jesus the vine, and that the foundation of spiritual growth is poverty of spirit and complete reliance on the Lord.

Sunil Poonen uses the biblical symbol of the donkey to teach Christians about humility, submission, and purpose. Drawing from Matthew 21 (Jesus' triumphal entry), Psalms 73, and Exodus 13, he explains that God values those who recognize their foolishness and ignorance, depend entirely on Him, and carry the cross daily—just as young people and all believers are called to be humble instruments in God's hands rather than relying on their own abilities or confidence.
