Day 8:Prayer Focus: Partnering with God:

Scripture Base: John 15:16

“You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you.” (John 15:16 AMP)

Introduction:

Many of us have this wrong notion that we are helping/working for our church pastors when we join a service team in Church or become an admin on a group or page of social media/internet ministries.

Some even think that their place of secular employment is just a place to work and earn an income! That is so wrong!

In our opening scripture God tells us that He   chose, appointed, placed, and purposefully planted you, in that place that you are right now for productivity and excellence! 

People of God! I’m just screaming about the revelation of this Word! This Word sure got me!

Where you are is not a mistake.  You really need to change your perceptions -renew your mind so that you can become productive.

God’s purpose for placing you there is so you would bear fruit and keep on bearing fruit, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting.

This last part really got to me: “So that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you.”(See John 15:16 AMP) Read that again.

So you see dear people of God, it is not about working for someone.  It is about partnering with God for your ultimate good!

Another News:

Apart from serving God in some Christian ministry, your place of secular employment is also the place of service to God. Your workplace is your own pulpit that God specially gave to you to display His virtues and attract people to Him.

See how it is written in the Amplified version: “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9 AMP)

Dear Praying-Partner, you are not ordinary. You are not just some lonely, wretched, unappreciated hard-worker!

“For we are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God; you are God’s garden and vineyard and field under cultivation, [you are] God’s building. [Isa. 61:3.]” (1 Corinthians 3:9 AMPC)

Simply put, you are to partner with God wherever you are, in whatever you are doing on earth, to achieve His purpose and for your blessings to manifest! (See Genesis 1:28)

Peter says we are called out of darkness  into His marvelous light to display His excellent qualities (See 1Peter 2:9). Therefore,  give it your best for God rewards diligence (See Hebrews 11:6)

God’s major business on earth is Soul Winning. Consider your workplace, marketplace, play-place ( place for recreation) as God’s Divine placement and your own pulpit to preach to your friends, family, colleagues and the public in general. 

A call to serve in any capacity in God’s business, or a work appointment is an honor which only God can bestow (See Hebrews 5:4)

You must learn to look beyond the persons you are working with and see God who initiated the Call to serve! God pays bigtime-His retirement plan is out of this world. He rewards to a thousand generation (See Deuteronomy 7:9)

Therefore, whatever you are called to do, do it excellently- own it! Be a good steward of God’s grace: you will give God account for your life. (See 1Peter 4:10; Romans  14:12)

In today’s prayers we are going to confront the things that hinders us from partnering with God excellently, thereby leaving Souls to be harvested and destroyed by satan!

Spiritual warfare is all about Souls. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son…. Christ came to give you abundant life whereas satan’s main mission is to kill, steal, and destroy the Human (See John 3:16, 10:10, 3John 1:2)

If you are not partnering with God to save Souls to His Kingdom, then you are involved with the devil in destroying Humanity. There is no middle ground- you are either with us or against us. Shalom 

#PrayerPoints4Today:

• Repentance:

In the days of ignorance God overlooked but now He is calling you to repentance (See Acts 17:30)

Honestly review your life and see how you have not been supportive by not giving your best in your assigned place of work/ministry. The Bible says to evaluate yourself to see whether you are still in the faith (See 2Corinthisns 13:5)

Ask for and receive forgiveness. Believe God’s Word that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness”(See 1John 1:9)

• Refuse to allow a guilt-ridden conscience to frustrate your life. Believe you have been forgiven and move on.
• Recommit yourself to God 

Pray in line with this scripture that “your hearts be fully committed to the LORD our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time.” (2 Timothy 1:12)

• Spiritual Combat:

Command to go at once to the feet 

of Christ Jesus, all the foul spirits assigned 

to work against the zeal for God consuming/ filling you –

Such as: ignorance, anger, misconceptions, wrong choices, negative perceptions, spiritual myopia, jealousy, ungodly ambitions, stunted faith, poverty mentality, lusts, malcontents, lack of job satisfaction, and other related evils (add your own list of challenges)

Command everything hindering you from functioning as a benefactor or Financial Missionary,  to stop at once and evil spirits aggravating  the  situations are to leave to the feet of Christ now Such as: poverty mentality, ignorance of your Divine assignments, greediness, selfishness, lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, the pride of life, ungodly ambitions, marital problems, family problems, irregular income, sicknesses and other evils.

 Command all chains shackling you to ancestral poverty to be destroyed

Proclaim your liberty and restoration of Divine order in your life. 

• Supplications:

1. Ask for more enabling grace to walk in obedience and absolute commitment in your place of service.
2. Declare your desire be a financier of Kingdom projects.
3. Ask for that financial miracle to push you to your next levels of giving  fir the work of Soul winning.
4. Pray for a heart that responds with appropriate actions to the cries of the less privileged. 
5. Ask for more grace so that you’ll be more sensitive to the things of God.

• Affirmations:

I affirm wisdom, excellence and creativity of God are at work in me. I am a partaker of the Divine nature and participator in the bringing of many people to glory. The genuineness of my faith, which is more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested and purified by fire, will be found to result in Praises of God and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Amein (see 1Peter 1:7)

Ohhh wahoo. I am so full of God. See you tomorrow .Shalom from Hephzibah Christly #theSpiritualWarrior
