Text: Job 22:28(KJV)

Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee

Friends, what you say shapes what you see. Yes, as human, we are attempted to declare our feelings when faced with challenges or during spiritual warfare.  But, we should learn to command our day as to set our spiritual tone right. God has given us authority to speak His Word over our lives, therefore we should not close our mouth as it is a closed destiny. Proverbs 18:21- Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. So, declarations are not empty words but they are spiritual seeds and tools which transform situations. We should engage intentionally by speaking boldly and loudly. We should declare with authority and conviction what we want to see. Hence, when our words aligns with Scriptures, your mouth becomes a tool of creation. I encourage us never to speak in fear rather speak in faith. Also, don’t speak in defeat but be specific to declare victory at all times. Remember, God will establish it if you declare it today. 2 Kings 4:16 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.

Interestingly, we need to speak with faith filled language as we decree and declare, daily. As we repeat consistently what we want to see, it shapes our expectations and our atmosphere. This requires speaking what God speaks concerning every matter.  Romans 4:17 As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.  We should be specific to declare things like healing, peace, promotion, progress, open doors and many more. I pray we shall believe what we say as our heart agrees with our mouth for right confession in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

Oh Lord, teach us to declare our expectations when we feel in doubt or fear as to realign our mind and spirit with God’s mandate in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, words are powerful when spoken out, not just in your thought.

Text: 2 Timothy 1:6(KJV)

Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee…

Friends, there are seasons in a man’s life when the fire of prayer, passion, and spiritual fervency becomes low. Yes, not because God has changed, but by reason of life concerns, burdens, distractions, and spiritual complacency gradually it dims our flame of fire. Psalm 85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee? So, the strength on our knees begins to go down if we are not refueling our altar. But, GOD is set to revive us today. Therefore, it is important we re-fire back by reviving our secret place where we control life by involving God. This requires us restoring the passion you once had for prayer, worship, holiness, and intimacy with God. God is always ready to ignite us again, He only waits for us to bring the wood. Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Interestingly, we need to stir up the gift of God. This means spiritual fire does not keep itself; it must be intentionally rekindled. Fire dies when it is not fed. Jeremiah 20:9 ….. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. Hence, our fire of prayer burns brighter and hotter when we feed it with time in God’s presence, hunger for His Word, and consistent fellowship. And as we fellowship in service today our fire shall be stirred up for the journey ahead, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:  

Father, take away every form of distraction and hidden sin that has brought about prayerlessness and lack of fellowship with brethren and the Holy Spirit today in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, you can restore your prayer fire by attending retreat to reconnect.

Text: James 5:16(KJV)

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Friends, we are in a society where people are praying casually. But, a prevailing prayer is that prayer where we push through, press in, and fervently produce results. It is the kind of prayer that refuses to give up, even when circumstances seem negative because of the confidence in God. He does not focus on the challenges rather the capacity of God. Romans 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer. Hence, the scripture above teaches us that the prayer of a righteous person has great power and authority that make change to happen. This means your prayers are not empty words but they carry spiritual influence that disarms the oppositions and the delays of our expectations. Therefore, heaven responds when you pray with conviction and consistency. So, remain focused in a time like this and stop complaining. Psalm 34:17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

Interestingly, it is not a prayer that is measured by how long you pray or shout, but by the alignment of your heart, the intensity of your faith, and your willingness to stand until God’s promise becomes reality. Colossians 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving. We can see the case of Elijah in the bible. He prayed earnestly, and rain stopped, and prayed again, and it returned. What a faith! Also, the parable of the persistent widow who kept asking until she received justice. I encourage us to remain focused in our prayer altar today, and God will grant us our heart desires in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

Oh Lord, strengthen my prayer life as to grow with faith, with persistence, and with passion for a ceaseless result in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to keep knocking, keep asking, keep believing, and eventually that breakthrough will become tangible.

Text: Mark 11:24(KJV)

Whatever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.

Friends, one of the biggest error is praying without expectations. Prayer is not complete with expectation. Hence, expectation is the bridge between your prayer and God’s answer. The scripture above teaches us that prayer must be mixed with faith if it will produce results by looking forward with anticipations and you will have it. We must learn to be fully convinced as we pray daily. So, to pray with expectation means to come before God in hope, believing that He hears you, He loves you, and He will respond according to His will. So, relax in His hands. Proverb 23:18 For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. Let’s remember that God is able, and God will do what He has promised to do. Therefore, expectation is not a life of arrogance rather a life of confidence in God’s character. However, when we pray, God doesn’t just listen, He responds to us. He is a Father who delights in giving good gifts to His children. James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed

Amazingly, when we are expectant in prayer, it aligns our hearts with God’s promises which activates our faith in absolute confidence in God as it cancels doubt. Psalm 5:3 In the morning I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly. This shows that God is willingly, He is able, and He faithful. It opens our spiritual eyes to see God’s hand at work and His capacity to do it that lives us with the posture of hope and stability during waiting seasons. I pray we shall be transformed from prayer as a routine to relational confidence in God in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

Father, teach me to stay in peace at my waiting season with high expectations that God is able to do exceedingly in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, to stay boldly and not in fear with God’s will.

Text: Exodus 14:14(KJV)

The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.

Friends, many times, we find ourselves fighting battles we were never meant to fight.
We struggle to fix what only God can change, to open doors only Heaven can unlock. Though, there are daily battles in life but to truly win those battles we need to engage the supernatural for a realistic victory. So, for believers, there is a power in prayer where we submit all to our heavenly father. Therefore, we must learn to triumph and prevail on our knees. It is a victory weapon that we must learn to engage at all times. 2 Chron 20:15 The battle is not yours, but God’s. It is important we persist in prayer until we win the war that is being waged against us on everyside. Hence, we surrender our battles to God by allowing Him to fight on our behalf through prayer, obedience, and confidence faith in the capacity of our father. Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Interestingly, the battle is the Lords, so let’s allow heaven to handle that issue of concern this season. By so doing, we hold our peace as we acknowledge and submit in prayer by our mind staying on Him. Remember, heaven never loses a battle, so the victory is sure when we submit to Him. Psalm 127:1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Therefore, let’s stop the human effort and submit to God in praise and worship, by prayer and avoid complaining to man etc. I encourage us to stop relying on our own strength like David did before Goliath and let God’s power take over today, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

Lord, I submit this battle before me to You. Fight for me so I will stand still and trust Your victory in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, when you fight in your power, you get weary at the end.

Text: James 5:16

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Friends, we must learn to humble ourselves both in posture and in our inner man for victory at all times. Therefore, Kneeling in victory is recognizing that every win belongs to the Lord as the battle is not ours but His. Prayer is the believer’s lifeline to divine strength. It is high time we yield and submit to His authority for answers as we bow to prayer. Hence, prayer is not just communication with God, it’s a weapon of victory in every situation. Psalm 95:6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. Through prayer, battles are won in the spiritual realm before they are seen in the physical. Every time you pray, you align yourself with Heaven’s power and invite God’s authority into your situation. So, let’s make prayer our first response today and we shall harvest victory on every side. Victory begins from our knees as it is a posture of gratitude. 2 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Interestingly, Elijah knelt in prayer, and the heavens responded with rain. Also, Jesus Himself prayed before every major decision and victory was sure. Philippians 2:10 At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth. Victory always follows prayer as we kneel fervently, consistently, and faith-filled in our prayer altars. I encourage us to kneel today as to activate divine intervention. Remember, kneeling in victory is not meant to inform God of your problems, rather we involve God in the process for our testimonies in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

1.      Father, give us strength before every battle as we win inwardly and outwardly by praying to change the atmospheres in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, kneeling in victory is involving God for divine strategy by intimacy in prayer.

Text: John 10:27(KJV)

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

Friends, it is important we grow in our ability of hearing clearly the voice of His instruction. So, spiritual sensitivity is the ability to recognize and respond to God’s voice. Therefore, without sensitivity, God’s guidance can pass unnoticed. Hence, our alertness can be likened to a finely tuned instrument, so, your spirit can be trained to detect God’s whisper, warnings, and directions. Proverbs 20:27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts.  Unfortunately, many are expecting loud or dramatic signs rather than subtle guidance by His leading. Remember, God often speaks quietly and some cases loudly, so we need to be sensitivity to pick signals littered around us. 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God… because they are spiritually discerned.

Interestingly, we need to grow to become alert to God’s presence because His presence speaks His intension for the moment. We should always recognize the promptings of the Holy Spirit as a key to follow and understand His guidance by aligning in total obedience.  Isaiah 30:21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it… I encourage us to be sensitive to God’s warnings as we spend quality time with Him, in prayers, in the word and fellowship with God the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost today, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT: 

Father, deliver us from a heart weighed down and distracted with sin and unforgiveness in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to hear God clearly and follow His divine direction today.
