Take it to God in prayer

#prayerSeason:Day 4, session1: Ps. 34:4 “I sought the LORD, He heard me and delivered me from l my fears”

King David had a very depressing experience, he encouraged himself in the LORD.

Instead of wallowing in self-pity asking ‘why me’, he took his problems to God in prayer, And God gave him the battle plan to overcome that challenge.

He was told to ‘pursue, overtake and recover all’.

Receive strength right now and go in pursuit of the hijacker of your joy, overtake and recover all, in Jesus mighty name

You are a child of God and nothing is impossible with you.

You must learn never to give up but to Confront your challenges with the Word of God, which is the sword of the Spirit.

First, meditate on the Word until God drops a word in your spirit.

Then run with the Word and you will prevail like David over that challenge.

Let us pray:

ABBA Father, thank you for the wonder-working power in your Word.

I receive Your Word and put it to work in my life today and declare that every sequence of disappointment in my life and family ends today.

The yoke of near-success-syndrome is destroyed because of the anointing

Debts and darkness shall no longer prevail in my finances.

My finances, relationships, career, ministry are being perfected and I will consistently walk in victory, prosperity and success everyday of my life, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Touch our Men folk again O God.

#prayerSeason day 3: Session1. Text: Proverb 3

In Mark 8:22-25, is the story of a blind man who could not see clearly after his first encounter with Jesus Christ.

“Then Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes again, and his eyes were opened. His sight was completely restored and he could see everything clearly” see Lk. 8:22-25.

It goes to show that there are certain circumstances in the life of our menfolk that need to be touched again, before their potentials and divine destiny can manifest.

So many are going about under the yoke of satanic oppression and demonic influences that are reinforcing the effect of the Divine curse of hardship on men.

Let us enforce the victory of the Cross over the lives of our fathers, brothers, sons, sons inlaw, grandsons and all other male members of our families.

Let me share with you a prayer by a seasoned prayer warrior, Tedi Holt below:

#Praying for our men (from birth onward, by Teddi Holy.
Father,
1. We lift up our men to You! We boldly approach Your throne of grace in their behalf!
2. In the Name of Jesus, we bind each man’s spirit, soul and body to the will and purpose of God for his life!

3. We bind each mind, will, and emotion to the will of God! We bind each man to the Truth and to the Blood of Jesus! We bind each mind to the mind of Christ!

4. We declare that the very thoughts, feelings and purposes of Jesus’ heart become each man’s thoughts, feelings and purposes!
5. We loose every old, wrong, ungodly pattern of thinking, attitude, idea, desire, belief, motivation, habit, and behavior from each and every man in Jesus’ Name!

6. We tear down, crush, smash, stomp, and destroy every stronghold associated with these things in Jesus’ Name!

7. We loose any stronghold in any and every man in our tent’s life that has been justifying and protecting any hard feelings they have held against anyone.

8. We loose the strongholds of unforgiveness, fear, distrust, pride, lust, hate, death wish, self-hate, self-indulgence, suicide, jealousy, greed, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, food addiction…and any and all wickedness attached to each and every man we are praying for!

9. Thank You Father for Your power and authority to bind and loose and thank You for the power of agreement as we pray with prayer warriors!

10. Thank You for our mission to pray into the light all darkness…we are vigilant to pray for our men!

11. Thank You LORD for commissioning Your ministering spirits to go forth and provide the necessary help and assistance for each one to succeed in what You have planned! For Your plans are for good and not evil…to give us a future and a hope. You LORD are our very present help in trouble…and we praise You and thank You for Your LOVE, MERCY…and GRACE!

12. Father we lay hold of each of our men’s salvation…his confession of the Lordship of Jesus Christ…whether spoken many years ago or only recently…or many times…though we do not yet see the fruit! We…Your intercessors LORD…speak of things that are not as though they were, for we choose to look at the unseen—the eternal things of God! We walk not by sight but by Faith!

13. We declare that satan will not get an advantage over any of our men, for we are not ignorant of satan’s devices.

14. We submit to God! We resist satan, and he has to run in terror from any and all of our men in the Name of Jesus! We give satan no place in any of them!

15. Thank You LORD for filling the vacant places with Your redemption, Your Word, Your Holy Spirit, Your love, Your wisdom, Your righteousness, and Your revelation knowledge in the Name of Jesus!

16. Thank You LORD that the BLOOD LINE has been drawn around each of them and we thank You that every enslaving yoke is broken! No more shackles of sin and death on our men! All bound and bond-slave to JESUS CHRIST alone! NO GOD but GOD!!

17. Hallelujah! All of our men walk in the Kingdom of God, which is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit! Praise the LORD! Amen!

Discretion Preserves

“Perfect all that concerns me O God : day 2, session 1. Text: Proverbs 2:1-end.

Discretion is the art of behaving and speaking in a way that does not cause offense or reveal secrets.

A call to be discrete is a judgment call which comes with great responsibility.

Bible says, discretion will preserve and deliver you from evil and from those who act perversely – See Proverbs 2:11.

A synonym of discretion is confidentiality.

As an aspect of wisdom, Discretion empowers you to act in a scripturally sound manner even when you have incriminating evidence against an enemy.

When Joseph knew about Mary’s pregnancy, he opted for a quiet divorce instead of exposing her to ridicule and death. God credited his thoughts and planned action as righteousness – See Matthew 1:19.

Discretion allow you distinguish information that should be treated as confidential or not.

Samson met his demise because he had not learned discretion. He sold himself out to his enemies by revealing his personal info to them – See Judges 16:16-21.

Indiscretion is a sign that you are not skilled in the Word of righteousness. Which means you are not growing in your walk with God and still drinking milk like a babe in Christ, when you should have been eating strong meat – See Hebrews 5:13

As christian’s we are under obligation to honor the confidences entrusted to us-see Pr. 11:13,12:23.

However, a maturing Christian does not reveal secrets at random, but treat secrets as privileged information, only divulged on a need to know basis- eg to law enforcement in cases where lives are in danger.

Such as in murder, child abuse, porn etc. Withholding such information is no longer discretion but wickedness. Which makes you a culpable witness to a crime.

Discretion is wisdom in action. Know when, where and how to use privileged information. Shalom!

#prayerPoints:

1. Thank God for this word that liberates you from darkness and the the sin of indiscretion.

2. Ask forgiveness for all the ways you have caused offense by indiscretions and believe in your heart God is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse you from all unrighteousness.

3. Pray peace and the grace of forgiveness be upon all you hurt by your indiscretions. Ask that God soothe their hurts and cleanse their memories of all such hurts. And grant them peace of mind.

4. Command all the forces of evil influencing indiscretion, lack of mouth/self control and other unrighteous behavior: to get off your life and everything that concerns you, and go at once with their relatives, and in submission, to the feet of Jesus Christ.

5. Affirm the following:

I affirm that by God’s enabling grace and teaching of the Word, I Christ is formed in me and manifesting in my worship, character and service.

I am in increasing in my understanding of the doctrine of righteousness and skillfully apply God’s righteousness in my reality.

I walk confidently and consistently in victory, success and prosperity everyday of my life and manifest excellence in everything.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the swift fellowship of the Holy Spirit is with me, perfecting all that concerns us, in Christ precious name.

In continuation of our 40 days of praying and fasting which commenced on December 1st, you can use your discretion to modify your prayer and study times.

As for me and my household we pray wherever we are by 6am, 12 midday and 6pm.

It would be good to fast along in order to put your body under subjection which will enable clarity of vision and thoughts.

If you have not already done so, please write out your personal prayer request, which you will align with our daily prayers.

As you receive answers tick them and don’t forget to write down whatever God lays in your spirit as you study and pray. They are guidelines, insights and answers to your prayers.

And don’t forget to share your testimonies, and contribute your insights as comments on this blog post or our Facebook page.

God bless you and your family, and give you speedy response to your prayers, in Christ precious name.

Perfect all that concerns me O God-day 1:session 3

Dec. 1, 6pm: Text:1John 4:6
#prayerFocus: Evict spirit of error

HE who knows God hears us. He who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error – 1Jn. 4:6.

The spirit of error influences some people to behave as if God does not exist. The spirit is the influence behind repeated mistakes.

Those under attack by this spirit, are frequently persecuted at work by colleagues, misunderstood by peers and castigated by family.

In a bid to defend or explain their choices or point of view, victims lose self and mouth control and get into more trouble.

If you are in such a bad place now, let’s run to battle.

#prayerPoints

1. Spend sometime to pray in tongues and worship God.

2. Thank God for revelation knowledge and the termination of this challenge that Messed up your relationships and economy.

3. Admit you made mistakes and got it wrong:Bible says, whosoever covers his sins shall not prosper. So go ahead and confess your sins and receive forgiveness and cleansing – See Pr. 28:18, 1Jn. 1:9.

4. Personalize the following prayer :

“Precious Father, thank you for your love and provisions have made to enable me live free of accusations and condemnation.

With Your Word in my mouth as sword, and faith as a shield, I deal decisively with the spirit of error. I command the spirit of error and related evil spirits to leave my realm of existence now, and go to the feet of Jesus Christ…

I declare all the schemes and tricks of the dark kingdom, against me are thwarted and their works destroyed.

Having the whole armor on, I stand against the stratagem and wiles of the forces of evil against my career, marriage, interpersonal relationships, and all other aspects of my life.

I command all animosity, grievances, misunderstandings and ill will to dissipate now.

I release peace to my circumstances and relationships.

I affirm that I walk in the reality of the Word of God that I am the accepted in the Beloved, therefore I am loved and appreciated by my work colleagues, spouse, friends and family.

By the anointing of God’s Spirit at work in me, I receive direction, insight, ideas, concepts that will propel me into excellence in this my new season of rest.

Thank you Father for guiding me5in through the path of prosperity with peace and excellence with victory.

There are no darkness or uncertainties in my path for I walk in preordained pathways and in the light of the Word of God.

I have entered God’s rest and now enjoy the blessings and benefits of the finished work of Christ.

Favor is mine.

Divine health is mine.

Promotion is mine.

I am debt free.

I walk in supernatural abundance.

I am a blessing to my world.

Thank you ABBA Father for your love, faithfulness and kindness, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amein.

Dec. 1: 12Noon: Text: Proverbs 1:8-19:
#prayerFocus : The next generation

Children are a sacred trust from God. We will give account of how we handled our parental responsibilities.

It is rather unfortunate that most Christians fail in teaching their children the fear of God.

What heritage are we leaving for the next generations? Who are the major influencers of your children?

The moral outlook of close associates would either influence our children positively or negatively.

King Solomon’s bad company with idolatrous women compromised his Divine destiny. Although he had so much prospects, his ungodly counselors became his downfall.

Solomon left a record of only one son-Rehoboam whose foolishness is as legendary as the wisdom of his father.

Therefore, as God’s people, we should be wise in our choice of friends/associates. And we should also prayerfully watch over the younger generation.

This prayer session is dedicated to our children and grandchildren.

#prayerPoints

1. Thank God for the grace of being a parent. Many are still asking God to bless them with kids.

2. Commit the life of your descendants to God as God to perfect all that concerns them spiritually, physically, psychologically and socially.

3. For those of our descendants who are not born again or have departed from the faith, earnestly ask God to draw them back to the fold.

4. Command the forces of evil to get off the case of your descendants and affirm your heritage in Christ as the righteousness of God in Christ.

5. Declare that soul ties to ungodly counselors, friends and influences are hereby severed and prohibited.

6. Declare that your descendants will from henceforth manifest supernatural wisdom from God.

7. Affirm that the anointing of God’s Spirit that enables spiritual growth is released to your descendants causing them to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God and Christ.

8. Decree that from today foolishness is alien to your bloodline. Your descendants are Holy Ghost empowered to think Godly thoughts, are not impressed by evil, have an excellent spirit, are capable of learning and obedience beyond blind submission.

9. Affirm they are disconnected from mean and wicked persons and cannot be enticed into ungodly activities.

10. Affirmation

My descendants are alive unto God. Their Spirits are aglow with divine energy and their zeal for the things of God is overwhelming.

My descendants are filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. They please God in all things, are fruitful in every good work and are increasing daily in the knowledge of God’s Word.

My children and Grands are endowed with wisdom in their choice of friends and are empowered not to succumb to comradeship, easy money and feeling of empowerment offered by gangs, Satanists, occultists, counter cultures etc, to God’s glory. Amein.

11. Spend sometime to pray in tongues.

12. Intercede for the children of your siblings and friends of your children.

13. As a married person, pray for your partner and war against all those evil counselors who are hijacking their divine destiny through evil counsel.

14. Thank God for answers to prayers and pray over your prayer request.

God bless and strengthen you to continue strong as you started strong, in Christ marvelous name.

Please share your thoughts and insights with us as comments. Shalom. From #theWatchman Hephzibah Christly

Session 1: Dec. 1: 6 a.m: Text: Proverbs 1:1-7

#prayerFocus: Wisdom and Knowledge:

Knowledge is the collection of facts, while wisdom is the right application of what you know, in your daily living.

Christ, the wisdom of God has been made wisdom to us who are in Christ-See 1Cor. 1:24, 30. Therefore, we are no longer gullible or naive.

Prayer Points:

1. Thank God that because Christ has been made wisdom to you: therefore, the destruction that ignorance brought into your life and bloodline has ended.

2. Ask for more enabling grace to know what to do, the skill and when to use it, in this new season you are entering.

3. Stand against all the devices of the devil that seek to put you under economic slavery to loan sharks,-declare, they shall no longer prosper!

4. Decree you shall no longer be subject to lenders: for the anointing of God’s Spirit has destroyed the yoke of financial slavery and lifted the burden of indebtedness off your life.

5. Pray for wisdom to manage your finances properly and that all grace should abound to you to have more than enough in all things and at all times and be a blessing to your world.

6. Ask God to intervene in the lives of those who are hurting and troubled because of unwise decisions.

7. Thank God for answers to your prayers. Spend sometime in worship.

8. Remember to Pray over your itemized prayer request.

Affirmation:

As I study the scriptures and listen to God’s Word daily, my spirit, soul and body is inundated with knowledge from God’s Word:which causes me to surmount every adversity and execute divine counsels. Glory to God.

Memory verse : A wise man will hear, and will increase in learning : a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels – Proverbs 1:5:KJV.

From #theWatchman Hephzibah Christly.

Every believer should cast out demons

Every believer should cast out demons

“These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons… “ See Mk. 16:17.

In Matthew 28:18, Christ declared: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me” .

In Luke 10:19, Christ transferred that power/authority to the Believer saying, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you”.

Jesus Christ has given all Believers the power of attorney to act on HIS behalf.

If you have received Christ as LORD and Savior, you are empowered to cast out demons!

Can you imagine my consternation when a dear sister in the LORD wrote to me about her grandma’s sickness that was scaring her family because of its hereditary nature.

Because I knew she was a Believer I told her to release healing over her grandma and to tell the spirits to come out of her.

But her reply shocked me, she said she thought it was only ‘Pastors’ that are supposed to do that- that is ‘cast out demons’! Unbelievable!

Where did that come from?!

There are many Believers like her who think they are not graced enough to cast out demons, because they are told its a specialized ministry. Says who?

As we just read in the writings of Luke, CHRIST gave HIS DISCIPLES/FOLLOWERS the power of attorney to use the authority of HIS name to cast out demons/ engage in spiritual warfare.

Casting out demons is just ground level spiritual warfare! It’s as easy as saying ‘gerraout’!

As long as you have accepted Christ into your life by faith, you are born of GOD, and whatsoever is born of God is victorious over the world! The victory that overcomes the world is our Faith! – See 1Jn. 5:4

Church, spiritual warfare is a “GO!”

In Christ name, Go ye into the world, confront the forces of darkness with the shield of faith, cast out demons, ‘nothing shall by any means hurt you‘ Shalom!

Love Covers

“God cannot be mocked; a man reaps what he sows” Gal 6:7, NIV:
In any relationship, how you interact with the other person determines how that person will interact with you. This is so because people only notice what the other person says and does and then treat them accordingly. What you sow you reap. When people receive love and appreciation, they give back love and appreciation. When people receive criticisms and resentment, they give back what they have received also.
Dear people of GOD, we can no longer allow our basest instinct for survival influence our relationship with others.
When two people in a relationship react in anger instead of responding in love, then there is no one at the helm of the ship and the ship will hit the rocks.
The man is the stronger in the relationship and should therefore regain control by resolving issues instead of creating a circle of conflict by resisting, attacking and withdrawing, or else, the other partner(the weaker vessel) will put up and fortify walls, distance will grow and the experience of love will quickly fade away.
In CHRIST love, will you both stop hurting each other over and over again and feeling justified about your words and actions; and start working at rebuilding what you both have damaged in your God given relationship?

When relationships don’t work, it affects your whole personality and every aspect of your life.

The fear and upset can be so consuming as to make you lose all effectiveness .

To move forward becomes difficult . It would also affect your future relationships because you’ll be carrying the baggage of the past painful experience wherever you go.

Until you heal your relationships, you will never be totally free. The anger and hurts will follow you forever. It is to your advantage to work at healing your present relationship.

Any relationship can heal.

Healing starts when you see your role in the disharmony.

The key to restoring love is you! Shalom!

Manifesting Healing

Please hold on, don’t give up hope!
I remember the day I felt a lump in my breast. I was devastated. I felt God had let me down. I felt shame. I Can’t really explain the conflicting emotions in my mind.

However, I cried my heart and eyes out to God, shut out everyone, and began to mentally put my house in order.

And suddenly, it came to me that I ought not to give up hope but to rather persevere in prayers to flush the scourge out of my body.

For two weeks, every second; whether-awake or asleep, i resisted it by praying in tongues all the time.

I also asked prayer support from several prayer teams, until I received Word from God that My healing was perfected.

Eventually, I went for mammogram and it was negative.

I may not be in your shoes but I’ve worn a similar one and can identify with your fears, pains, discomfort and emotional trauma.

All I ask is: please don’t give up hope God is still a miracle worker.

Fight/ reject/repulse that sickness with all of your being.

Talk personally to God the healer, don’t be ashamed to ask for prayer support.

God will intervene supernaturally and your healing will manifest.

For by HIS stripes you were healed.

I need you to also know that you are in the prayers of the saints of God.

I speak to that pain in your body to go away.

I curse the root of cancer in any part of your body to disintegrate now.

All the symptoms of that sickness or diseases should disappear now.

Be healed in your soul.

Let the peace of God flood your mind.

I come against confusion, anxiety and every other internal or repressed hurts. They are to go away now.

Peace of mind is yours.

Emotional health is yours.

I release Divine health to your psychological well-being.

You are are loosed from all generational mental health issues.

Be well.

I speak healing to your spirit. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus at work in you has made you free from the law of sin and death.

Your sins are forgiven. You are cleansed from every unrighteousness.

The handwriting of ordinances working against you are obliterated by the blood of Jesus Christ.

There is no condemnation to you. The Master has set you free.

Be made whole now, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Love you lots, and I pray you share your healing testimony soonest, in Christ name. Shalom!

This Too Shall Pass Away

Can a woman forget her nursing child And have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. “Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me (Isaiah 49:15-16; Esv).

Dear friends,my heart bleeds for all who are facing extreme economic hardship that is now beginning to make them doubt GOD’s promises, disable their faith and tempt them to compromise their Christian integrity.

If you have read some of my testimonies you will understand why my faith is rugged! I’m a woman acquainted with grief, I have been homeless, jobless, sick, and alone without a dime to my name. I have been abandoned, rejected and neglected even while pregnant, and have even been stuck in the hospital with a new baby and no money to settle the bills(a terrible nightmare)

But guess what?- GOD showed up on time for me.

God will show up for you. He will turn your shame to fame, and grant you supernatural favors in CHRIST name.

Hold still: you will see the salvation of the LORD.

This too shall pass away.

You will laugh again: you will sing a new song. You will forget the shame of your economic woes.

GOD will open new doors of opportunities for you.

People will favor you.

The little you have will multiply to become a great company.

You will look back and praise GOD, you will look forward and hail GOD.

GOD will glorify HIMSELF in your situation so that no one will take credit for it.

The foundation of lack and limitation is excavated and annihilated, in CHRIST name.

As the righteousness of GOD in CHRIST JESUS, your economic hardship has come to an end: your children will not beg bread and you have become the definition of GODly prosperity.

GOD has turned around your economic captivity.

Rejoice!!!! the paradigm has shifted for you and yours, in CHRIST name.
