Global Watch Indigenous Peoples Watch 1/6/26 6am JT

The Indigenous Peoples Watch led by Mary F and co-chaired with Merekaraka was opened with a wonderful worship piece: Our ADONAI by Judah Collective.Mary proceeded to inform those present that the message today was about a RESET. Resetting us or going back to the foundational purposes – to God’s intention for mankind. A foundational message for our Indigenous watch, our indigenous people. Not an exclusive but for our respective nations. Going back to the time before colonisations and systems were put in place.She defined the indigenous people’s role and call to honour the land, the Maker of the land and the people. Why He chose to put the indigenous people first, with a divine responsibility not for the sake of being first. To bring holiness to the root – the root that is in alignment with heaven, the host people. We stand in that place, we decide and decree a thing and see it established, to see the righteousness of God be established in our land. It is a partnership already accomplished in heaven, we set our eyes on what is in heaven, not from our perspective but heaven’s perspective. It comes with great purpose.Mary then issued a challenge – to lean into the summons and the call. The call to bring holiness to the root, in that holiness healing comes. Merekaraka [representing the indigenous people within Aotearoa = New Zealand] brought forth the history of the birth of the gospel in 1814 to Aotearoa. It was indigenous people in the land who were the carriers of the gospel. Those who followed the indigenous people, the settlers of the land, caused it to be interrupted. She shared a powerful prophetic dream she had in the New Year, the Word of the Lord. One aspect was that the fruit of the labours in prayer were being seen.People from different lands on the call, those representing their indigenous, were invited to pray into that which was shared. In closing, Lynette [Israel] prayed a blessing over the indigenous and the need for the renewing the mind from the past, the honouring of indigenous peoples as hosts of their lands; the honour the Lord bestowed upon them. A resetting within the body where honour has not been given.
