May the LORD Cover Your Head In The Day of Battle

This morning, whilst I was meditating on the prayer I was going to write, the Lord gave me the word “Battle”. I wondered what this meant, and then I got a revelation from the Lord that whether we realise it or not, we are in a battle. Just like King David in the Old Testament, we are all in a battle. The battle of life, struggles of all sorts, creating fear and insecurity in the lives of many. Humanity is struggling to remain ruler over all things, trying to grasp the true meaning of life, fighting for power and superiority and looking for an answer that no one is able to give. For the majority, fear has taken over a large percentage of their lives. The era we are in is an era of uncertainty, fear and insecurity, major challenges, battles and struggles.

The current economic climate across the world is a clear indication of the times that we are in. No longer can one rely on their salaries or jobs alone. That era is far gone from us. No longer can we rely on each other anymore, we must not rely on men and means. Many have become “lovers of self”, and everyone is busy trying to make a living to pay bills. The rat race continues without any sign of it stopping. Wherever we are, at home or abroad, we are exposed to danger more than we are aware of.

Thinking about all these, the question that comes to mind is the same question that King David asked whilst he was engaged in battle,


“I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?”


Answer:

“My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.”

If you are afflicted by sickness, you are in a battle, if you are struggling and finding it hard to pay your bills and your are not able to find a job, you are in a battle, if you are feeling low and depressed, hearing voices of defeat and failure, you are surely in a battle.

David trusted God to cover his head in the day of battle. He realised that he needed help; otherwise he would not survive the battle. He realised that he needed God’s help in order to gain victory. This was what led him to write Psalm 121. This psalm directs and encourages us to rest ourselves and our confidence in God.

I pray that you would rest your heart and put your confidence in God. I pray that by faith you would put yourself under God’s protection and commit yourself to His care, with an entire resignation and satisfaction that your help will come from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

I recommend and encourage you to read and confess Psalm 121 to yourself every night before you go to sleep. There is power in God’s Word.

Please take the time to pray this prayer now and set the spiritual fire in the Word of God in motion in your life.

Your Confession:

1     I (..insert your name..) will lift up my eyes to the hills—
       From whence comes my help?

2     My help comes from the LORD,
       Who made heaven and earth.

3    He will not allow (..insert your name..) foot to be moved;
      He who keeps (..insert your name..) will not slumber.


4    Behold, He who keeps (..insert your name..)
      Shall neither slumber nor sleep.


5    The LORD is (..insert your name..) keeper; (repeat this line x3)

      The LORD is my shade at my right hand.

6    The sun shall not strike (..insert your name..) by day,

      Nor the moon by night.

7    The LORD shall preserve (..insert your name..) from all evil;

      He shall preserve my soul.

8    The LORD shall preserve my going out and my coming in

       From this time forth, and even forevermore.

I agree with you as you appropriate this prayer for yourself in Jesus Name. Amen.

Remember this: “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” (Matthew 11:12) KJV

Go out there and take it by force!

If you are ill, take back your health, take it by force! If you are feeling low and depressed, take back your mental well being, lift up your head and take your wholeness back, take it by force! If you are hearing voices of defeat and failure, take back your success and victory, take it by force! If you are struggling to get a job, or feeling threatened that you might lose your job, claim your victory, confess your victory, claim your job, read the Word, stand on the Word, appropriate it to yourself and take back what belongs to you, by force! If you are struggling with your bills, get your confession right, take the Word of God, sling it at the devil and knock down any Goliath standing before you. God will provide for you, His name is Jehovah Jireh. Go on, take back what belongs to you. Take it by force! Take it now, don’t let go. Take it by force! The victory is yours in Jesus Name. Amen.

May God Elevate You & Your Family in 2011

I was sitting doing my Bible studies sometime in November 2010, when I heard the voice of the Lord say to me "Tell my children who have been faithful to me that next year, 2011, will be their year of elevation."  My first reaction was that of doubt in my mind.  I said, "Lord you know every year people get similar messages like this and nothing happens in their lives, by the middle of the year they are already busy complaining."  The Lord said to me, "The reason why the words never come to pass in their lives is because when the word was initially given, the people receive it but fail to continue to proclaim by faith what they had received and so the devil comes and steals that word from them, so their confession then changes to negative."  Today, I encourage you to be determined not to give up in spite of whatever circumstance you might find yourself.  The word of God is true and He is not a man that He should lie.

Your Message for 2011

This will be your year of elevation.  

• God is going to move you to a higher place spiritually, mentally and physically.  He is going to reposition you from a lower place to a higher one.  He is going to lift you up and reposition you.
• God is going to raise your rank.  Your status is going to change and He will promote you spiritually, mentally and physically.
• He will lift up your spirit and elevate you to a higher dimension.

Zechariah 2:5,

For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.’”

I pray that in 2011 God will be a wall of fire all around you and your loved ones and may He be the glory in your midst.  I pray that He will be the glory in your home, your family, your marriage, your job and all that concerns you.  May you be elevated to a higher place spiritually, mentally and physically and may the favour of God locate you for greater things.  No matter what challenges you may face in 2011, may the Lord surround you as the mountains surround Jerusalem and may He give you the strength to stand and be victorious in all that you do.  May God use all the trouble and hardships to elevate you and may you soar like an eagle as you embrace the storms of life. 

In 2011 your blessings will not be quantified, it will come from all directions, so be expectant because there will be great surprises in store for you.  I pray that you will not fall into temptation and  all of the devil's strategies to try and lure you into sin will fail and He will not be victorious concerning you or your loved ones.  May the Lord drown all your enemies in the red sea and may you cross over to the other side and be lifted and elevated in all that you do. 

In 2011, every mountain and hill before you will be levelled and brought low.  All the crooked places in your life will be made straight and the rough places smooth.  You shall have the last laugh in Jesus Name.  The glory of the Lord shall be revealed to you and all flesh shall see it together. Concerning you in 2011, may the Word of the Lord stand sure forever.  When you are weak, may the Lord give you the power to stand and increase your strength. May He contend against those who contend against you and fight against those who fight against you.  May He confound and confuse all the plans of the enemy concerning you.  God has chosen you and appointed you to be a ruler in all spheres of life.  I pray that you will rule and reign and call those things that be not as though they were.The Lord will build you a house and the sons of wickedness shall oppress you no more.  In 2011 the Lord will subdue all your enemies and make your name great.  The Lord will plant you and position you in the right place at the right time in Jesus Name and you shall not fail or fall.

This year, don't be in a hurry to do things, for the Bible says in Isaiah 28:16, "... he that believeth shall not make haste."  Be patient and still before the Lord.  Seek His face and ask Him for wisdom in all your decision making.  As you wait upon the Lord in 2011, I pray that God shall renew your strength; you shall mount up with wings like eagles, you shall run and not be weary, you shall walk and not faint.  Remain blessed and hold steadfastly to His word.

 

Rejoice! Congratulations and welcome to 2011, your year of elevation!

The One Year Bible NLT (One Year Bible: New Living Translation-2)   Holy Bible (NIV)  The Holy Bible English Standard Version (ESV)     Zondervan NIV Study Bible: Updated Edition  Holy Bible, King James Version Old & New Testaments (with Book and Chapter Index, Searchable)       

May God daily load you with benefits and turn your disappointments into joy

1 Truly my soul silently waits for God;

From Him comes my salvation.

2 He only is my rock and my salvation;

He is my defense;

I shall not be greatly moved.

Today, I pray that your soul will silently wait for God, He is the only one who has all the answers to our problems.  Maybe there are questions you want answered and you are looking for satisfaction for your soul.  I pray that you will patiently and silently wait upon the Lord for an answer from Him.   When you wait upon the Lord, you will find comfort for your soul.  I pray that God will be your Comforter today and everyday.  I pray that you will cheerfully give up yourself and all your affairs to His will and His wisdom.  He alone is our Rock and Salvation.  I pray that the Lord will be your defense, your deliverer and your shield and buckler.  As the mountains surround Jerusalem, may He surround you and yours forever.  If you are getting worried about your job or anything for that matter, I pray that you will not be greatly moved.  I pray that you will wait on God alone and not put your trust in man.  I pray that even if you feel disappointed by friends and family and your relationships do not seem as they should or they are not working out as desired, I pray that you will find refuge in God and that you will not be moved.  May God be your salvation and your glory.  May He be the Rock of your strength.  I pray that God will intervene on your case and make all things work together for your good.  If you are in pain or have been hurt by loved ones, colleagues or friends.  I pray that God will bring healing to your soul and set you free from the pain you are feeling.  I pray that you will forgive and release those who have hurt you so that your blessings will not be delayed.  The Bible says in Psalm 62:

9, "Men of low degree are a vapor and men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor.

10 ..., Do not set your heart on them." 

God will render to each man according to their works, so do not put your trust in man, only let your soul silently wait on God alone.  He alone is able to deliver.  

It is God that brings out those who are bound into prosperity.  I pray that God will bring you out into prosperity.  I pray that He will give you peace and send you abundance of rain from His goodness .  I pray that God will daily load you with benefits and that your land will produce.  May your joy be full, may your relationships be restored and all that you do prosper now and always.  God bless you abundantly now and always.

May the LORD Sustain You and Give You Strength

My prayer for you today is in Psalm 3, a Psalm of David when he fled from Absalom his son.

"And David said unto all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee, for we shall not else escape from Absalom. Make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword." (2Sa 15:13-14 KJV)

This action by David’s own son was a very grievous matter to him and he was afraid of what might happen, so he left Jerusalem in flight for fear of death at the hands of his own son. (You can read the full story in 2 Samuel chapter 15)

Maybe you are worried, anxious and afraid. It might be that you are in fear of impending doom or bad news, considering the uncertain times that the world is in right now and the fear of the unknown, worry about how you are going to sustain yourself and your family, fear of not being able to pay the bills or fear of losing your job is weighing so heavily on your heart and you don’t know what to do. You might be going through a lot right now and like David you are afraid, feeling low and you don’t know where to turn, you are afraid and worried of what might happen to you.

My prayer for you is in Psalm 3:1-8,

1 LORD, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.

2 Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.”

3 But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

4 I cried to the LORD with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill.

Even though you might be going through stormy weather and troubled times and everything seems to be going against you and your circumstances and situation is difficult. Although many may say of you that there is no help for you in God, I pray that the Lord will be a shield for you and that He will be the glory and the lifter up of your head. I pray that when you cry to the Lord with your voice He will hear from the heavens and answer you in your distress.

5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me.

6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around.

I pray that when you sleep at night, the peace of God will surround you, and when you wake up, the Lord will sustain you and give you strength. I pray that when you are feeling fearful and panicky, the Lord will guard your heart and give you a sound mind. I pray that you will not be afraid of what man will do to you because if God be for you then no man can be against you. I pray that you will lean not on your own understanding but in all your ways you will acknowledge the Lord and He will direct your path and lead you in the way you should go. I pray that confusion will not be your portion and that the peace of the Lord will be your guide in these difficult times.

Please kneel down now and pray now.

Pray that the Lord will forgive your past wrongdoings and surrender your life to Him now. Ask Him to come and help you and lead you. Ask Him to show you the way and lead you in the path of righteousness. He loves you and is always willing to help those who surrender their will to Him and ask Him into their lives.

7 Arise, O LORD; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

8 Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon Your people.

Finally, I pray that the Lord will arise concerning you; He will save you and set you free from the attacks of the enemy. I pray that you will also arise and shine and experience the peace, victory and salvation that come from walking with the Lord. I pray that the blessing of the Lord will be upon you and that the arm of the Lord will save you, sustain you and bring you through these difficult times and that your hope and expectation will not be cut off. I pray that as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so will the Lord surround you, your family and your loved ones forever. Put your hope in Him and He will never disappoint you. He said, “I will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on me because they trust in me.”

No matter how difficult things might be, I encourage you today to put your trust in the Lord and He will carry you through. May the grace God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be upon you and abide with you. May His countenance shine upon you and give you peace in Jesus Name, Amen.

May the LORD heed the voice of your cry

When the family breaks down, almost every aspect of life breaks down. Relationships break down, friendships breakdown, homes break down and nothing seems to come together. God created family to love, care, nurture, guide and support us. He created family to always be there for us. In so many families, this is not so. Many have been abused, despised and left to suffer. Family is important to God, your family is important to God, YOU are important to God. He loves you and will not leave you forsaken. Even though man may have left you forsaken, God will not leave you forsaken if only you put your trust in Him. He wants to help and is always there in times of need, but can we trust Him enough to believe that He can deliver?

If your home is broken or is breaking down and you don’t know what to do, I pray that God will be there for you to heal and set you free from pain, anger, frustration, hopelessness, worthlessness, insecurity, loneliness and low self esteem. I pray that He will deliver you from depression, oppression and bondage to sin, and when you cry out to Him, He will hear you and deliver you. “I cried to the LORD with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill.” (Psalm 3:4). I pray that you will open up to God and be honest and admit that you need His help, His love, His guidance and support. You need Him to be a father to you where your father was never there, you need Him to hold you up and sustain you in times of trouble. You need to feel His presence around you. Cry to the Lord and He will hear you and answer you. Make this your prayer:

1 Give ear to my words, O LORD,

Consider my meditation.

2 Give heed to the voice of my cry,

My King and my God,

For to You I will pray.

3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD;

In the morning I will direct it to You,

And I will look up.

For those who grew up in a loving, caring and supportive family environment, I pray that you will be able to share your love with others and be supportive to those who do not have what you have. The Bible commands us to give and it shall be given unto us. I pray that as you give of the love invested in you, God will bless you and your family more and more and use you as an instrument of His love and a vessel of honour. I pray that you will not be found wanting emotionally, materially or mentally. I pray that all will be well with you and yours and in all that you do you will prosper. I pray that God will be a shield to your family and the glory and lifter up of your head.

If you have been abused and despised, I pray that God will be your healer and set you free from the bondage of pain and despair. He cares for you, I know He does. May God be with you at all times and hold your hands through this difficult walk of life and help you in all things at all times. I pray that He will restore you and settle your mind and make you whole again. God bless you as you make the following Psalm your prayer and daily confession:

Psalm 27: 1, 3, 5, 7-11
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;

Whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the strength of my life;

Of whom shall I be afraid?

3 Though an army may encamp against me,

My heart shall not fear;

Though war may rise against me,

In this I will be confident.

5 For in the time of trouble

He shall hide me in His pavilion;

In the secret place of His tabernacle

He shall hide me;

He shall set me high upon a rock.

7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!

Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

8 When You said, “Seek My face,”

My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”

9 Do not hide Your face from me;

Do not turn Your servant away in anger;

You have been my help;

Do not leave me nor forsake me,

O God of my salvation.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me,

Then the LORD will take care of me.

11 Teach me Your way, O LORD,

And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.

May God hide you in the cleft of His Rock

I heard God say to me this morning, “My daughter, please let my children know that I am thinking of them”. So, dear reader, my fellow believer, God says He is thinking of you. He is watching over you. He who watches over you neither sleeps nor slumbers.

The Bible says in Psalm 121,
5 The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand.

6 The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.

8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.

He thinks about you daily, every second and every minute of every day. He cares about you and is always concerned with things that bother you. You cannot begin to comprehend His love for you. So, why don’t you take some time and just cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you. He wants to give you rest.

The Bible instructs us in 1 Peter 5: 7-8, to:
7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

My prayer for you today is that you will not fall prey to the devil. If he looks around for you, he will not find you. May God hide you in the cleft of His Rock, safe from all evil. May you be able to resist the devil and all the pressures that life throws at you. May God uphold you with the right hand of His righteousness. I pray that you will stand firm in faith and may God Himself restore you and keep you strong. May He keep you firm and steadfast forever and ever, from this day forward in Jesus Name. Amen.

Remember, according to Psalm 121 verse 3:

3 He will not let your foot slip—

He who watches over you will not slumber …

Have a blessed and peaceful day:-)

MAY YOU SING A NEW SONG TO THE LORD (Part 1)

My prayer for you today is that you will be able to sing a new song unto the Lord God your Maker, the Holy One of Israel, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I pray that you will sing a new song unto our God, the Bush that is burning but never consumed. Sing unto Jehovah Jireh, your provider, unto Jehovah Nissi, your Banner, sing unto Jehovah Yahweh, the Almighty. I pray you will sing and praise Him for His acts of power. Praise Him for His surpassing greatness. Praise Him in His Sanctuary and praise Him in His mighty heavens. God says unto you, “My son, my daughter, my beloved, I desire that you praise Me in this hour, in this time, more than you’ve ever done before and you will see your enemies flee before you.

I heard the Holy Spirit say to me this morning that He desires His children to begin to sing a new song unto Him. He wants you to open your mouth and sing instead of complain, sing instead of moan, sing in the midst of trials, sing when you are feeling low, sing when you are feeling high, sing in spite of what you might be going through, sing, sing, sing. Sing unto the Lord a new song. I pray that the Lord God will give you a new song to sing this year and may His praises never depart from your lips. May the fruits of your lips give Him praise.

Your singing will bring victory and deliverance into your situation. It will bring victory and deliverance to your household; it will bring victory and deliverance to your marriage, your children, and all that concerns you. You will be energised and refreshed by the Spirit of God. The Hosts of heaven will visit you and deliver you. Your praise will attract the Hosts of heaven into your circumstances and all your enemies will be scattered. So, praise Him when things are tough, praise Him when times are good. Praise Him in the morning, praise Him in the daytime, praise Him when the sun goes down.

The Bible says in Psalm 150 vs 6, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” If you have breath, praise the Lord. Why, because praise is a weapon of war. When you sing and praise, your enemies will become confused, demoralised, discouraged and disengaged. Your singing is a weapon against the enemy of your soul, Satan. Satan prefers to hear you complain and moan than to praise and worship. When you fulfill his desire by complaining and moaning, you equip him with weapons of defeat that he would then use to fight against you. When you moan and complain, the enemy becomes attracted to you. It’s like an invitation, a song, the sort of confession he likes to hear. It energises the camp of the enemy. The more you complain, the more he is energised for attack, but when you make the choice to start singing and praising God regardless of your circumstances, the enemy becomes confused and scattered. When you sing to the Holy Spirit, evil spirits will leave (Read 1 Samuel 16:23). May your singing birth uncommon events in your life. As you sing, may your enemies be smitten before you.

“And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten,” (2 Chronicles 20:22 NKV)

God bless you as you walk in obedience today and sing a new song unto the Lord.

May This Be A Year of Permanent Change for You

Happy New Year to you!

I pray that this year will be a totally different year for you, an unusual year of favour, health and well being.

Every year we make resolutions and write down things we want to do and habits we would like to change. I pray that this year your change will be permanent for good in Jesus Name. We are challenged every year to meet expectations, fulfill demands and do better than the previous year. By the grace of Almighty God, you will certainly do better this year than last year. We are constantly looking forward to making changes and making things better in our lives but at the end of each year we are sometimes disappointed at how little we have achieved and how far we have gone in achieving the goals we set at the beginning of the year. This year may your expectations not be cut off in Jesus Name. Usually we start each New Year with a lot of hope and enthusiasm but at the end of the year we are left with not much hope so we look forward to the next year with more promises and new resolutions. This year I pray will be a fulfilling year for you.

May your home be restored and filled with peace, may your children be blessed and protected by the Spirit of the Lord. He has given His angels charge over you and your family lest you dash your foot against a stone. May you never strike your foot against a stone. This year you will not mourn in Jesus Name. Disaster will not come near your dwelling. God will make you and your loved ones dwell in safety and He will watch over you and perfect that which concerns you. May your marriage be blessed, may your extended family be blessed, may you be satisfied with good things and may you grow in the knowledge of the Lord more and more. Whatever may be broken in your relationships either in your marriage, family or friends, may it be restored back to its former glory in Jesus Name. As from today, I decree peace to you in your home and I break every cord of strife over your life and your family life. It shall be well with you this year and beyond and you shall have every reason to rejoice in Jesus Name. You will achieve the unachievable and God will do the impossible for you. You will experience God in a very different and dynamic way this year and He will reveal a different dimension of Himself to you. This year may your hunger and thirst for His righteousness be greater in you.

You will live and not die

You will live and not die. Repeat it to yourself, “I will live and not die”. Say it again, “I will live and not die”. Again, “I will live and not die in Jesus Name!” I agree with you, heaven has heard your confession and the whole of heaven agrees with you. It is done. You shall live and not die! Speak to your dry bones and they shall live! Your finances shall come back to life, your job shall live, your home shall live, your family shall live, your health shall be alive and vibrant, you will not die, your finances will not dry up, your marriage shall live, there will be no death in all that concerns you and you will hear good news in Jesus Name.

If you are single, you will marry. You will not just marry anybody; you will marry the right person whom God has chosen for you. You will not marry a counterfeit, a Jezebel or a liar. You will not marry someone else’s wife or husband, you will marry your own, the person that God has predestined for you before the beginning of time. There shall be no barrenness in you or in your seed. Even in old age, you will still marry. God has not written you off so no man has the right to write you off. Please do not write yourself off and don’t give up. Even though it may tarry, it shall surely come to pass. For those of you who have waited for so long, be still and know that He is God. Concerning you, He will not fail to deliver.

The Secret to Success

I would like to share what the Lord ministered to me at the beginning of this year regarding why we do not accomplish much with our yearly resolutions, goals and visions and why we sometimes end up being disappointed by the end of the year. I hope that you will be blessed and inspired by it. Please take your time and carefully read to the end.

The Lord shared with me that in order for us to achieve the goals, visions and resolutions set, we must first of all recognise and acknowledge His Holy Spirit as a Person and not a thing. He said we live our lives wanting much and demanding a lot but we fail to recognise that He does nothing without the participation of the Holy Spirit. Do you know that the Holy Spirit is not a Dove? He is a person. He is not wind or fog, He is a person. He is not fire, He is not an “it”, He is…“Him”. He is alive; He is a person, the third person of the Trinity. He is not some wind blowing everywhere, He is a person. He talks, He thinks and He plans. Wind cannot talk, fire cannot counsel, a Dove cannot teach. All these are just symbols. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, our mentor and our counsellor.

We have God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We would usually recognise and acknowledge the first two persons in the Trinity but we fail to recognise or communicate with the third person. The Lord said I should bring it to your attention that they are three in One and that the Holy Spirit is the very Spirit of the Living God. He cannot and should not be separated from the other two. The three do not do anything without the participation of the other, which is why they are three in One. They are in unity; they work in unity and they do not do anything without each other. The Holy Spirit is the manifestation of the heart of God unto men. He is the voice of the Godhead to us.

If you want to know the secret of success then you must come into partnership with the Holy Spirit. If you really want to hear from God, then you must come into partnership with the Holy Spirit. If you want fulfillment in life, then you must come into partnership with the Holy Spirit. He is the secret of success. God said He will reveal to us the hidden riches of the secret places, you will never find the secret places without revelation from the Holy Spirit. He is the One that reveals all truth. If you want your desires to be granted then you must delight yourself in the Lord and acknowledge His Holy Spirit as a person to be communicated with and not to be ignored. He doesn’t want a passive, dead and silent relationship. He wants and longs for an active relationship with you. The Holy Spirit talks, He thinks and He plans. God has plans for you this year, He is thinking about you right now and He wants to talk with you and share with you all the plans He has for you. He is asking that you come closer and spend time with Him. The Bible mentions Him as being our Teacher, our Helper, our Guide, our Comforter. He is our Mentor. He leads and He guides. He wants to teach you and show you the way you should go. He wants to use you to change and transform lives. He is alive, He is a person and he desires an active relationship with you.

Without you asking Him to help you this year, you are already destined for failure. If you want to be great, acknowledge the Holy Spirit, talk to Him, spend time with Him. If you want to write successful books that will minister to the world, invite the Holy Spirit to teach you how to write, acknowledge your weakness and allow Him to be your strength. He does not take over unless He is invited. He is not rude, He is sweet and gentle. So why don’t you invite Him in right now and just pray this prayer:

“Holy Spirit, Spirit of the living God, I invite you right now to come and play an active role in my life. I repent and I am sorry for not acknowledging your person like I should. Help me to develop an active relationship with you. Help me and teach me to hear your voice. Help me to be dependent on you and the wisdom you impart into me. Teach me to know you, recognise you and acknowledge you in all that I do. Whenever I ignore you, help me to be aware and turn back to you. I want to talk with you, walk with you, fellowship with you and spend more time with you. Help me to find and create time for you. You are a significant part of my life and I need you now more than ever before. I need you in my home, in my family and in all that I do. Come and help me at work, help my marriage, help my relationships. Teach me to be a good wife, a good husband, a good father, a good mother and a good friend. Help me to grow in the knowledge of the Word of God. Help me in my areas of weakness and develop your strength in me. Help me to be confident and be content with what I have and who I am. I want to know you more. Help me to know you more. Teach me to pray, teach me to love and help me to be who you want me to be. Help me to be as bold as a lion, so I can declare your Word to others who do not know you. Most of all, I ask you to help me to love my neighbour as myself. Please forgive me of all acts of unrighteousness and renew your Spirit within me. All these I ask of the Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Holy Spirit for agreeing with the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ to be my Comforter, my Helper, my Aid and my Guide. Take your place in me now and let the will of the Father be done in me.” Amen.

May God's Anchor of Peace Keep You Steady

My prayer for you today is that no matter what your circumstances may be, the anchor of peace will keep you steady. I pray that you will not give up now that you’ve come so far in the journey. Your destination has been mapped out by God and He will never fail because He said His Words will never fail. May His perfect peace navigate you through the storms of life as you steady your mind on Him.

Peace is a blessing from God, it is meant to guard and guide you. I pray that you will not abandon ship whilst it is still at sea because you will run the risk of drowning. God wants to keep you in perfect peace but He requires that your mind be stayed on Him and that you wholly put your trust in Him. Haven’t you struggled enough? He is the author and the giver of peace. You cannot find peace when you wrongly focus on the negative. Peace does not come by arguing, it does not come through avarice (an extremely strong want to get or keep money or possessions). Peace does not come by accommodating enemies such as envy, anger and pride. Perfect peace can only be achieved by staying, focusing and putting your trust in God. He is the Author and Finisher of your faith. He loves you and He is willing to help but you must be totally reliant on Him.

Today, my prayer for you is in Psalm 91,

May God be your refuge and strength; may He be a very present help in your time of trouble. I pray therefore that you will not fear, even though the earth be removed and the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. Though it’s waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with it’s swelling.

I pray you will experience the river of peace, whose streams make glad the city of God, the Holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of you. You shall not be moved by the spirit of adversity, raging storms or the turbulence of life. God shall help you just at the break of dawn. May God utter His voice concerning you and may the mountain of your problems melt away in Jesus Name. The LORD of Hosts is with you; the God of Jacob is your refuge.

I pray that you will be still and know that He is God; He will be exalted among the nations; He will be exalted in the earth. He will be exalted in your circumstances; He will be exalted in your home, in your marriage, in your ministry and in all that concerns you.

The LORD of Hosts is with you; the God of Jacob is your refuge.

Say it and confess it, “The LORD of Hosts is with me, (put your name here); the God of Jacob is my refuge.

I agree and believe with you that the LORD of Hosts is with you; the God of Jacob will never leave nor forsake you.

Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Congratulations, you’ve got the victory!

May God Help You In Times of Weakness

Our emotions have a great effect on our lives and on the lives of others. We cannot stop them from coming but we have a choice as to the level of control it has over our lives.

I pray for you today that you will be slow to anger and exercise more patience in your life. I pray that you will give others the benefit of the doubt and learn to pray for and forgive those who have hurt you. I know this cannot always be easy, but my prayer is that God will give you the strength and grace so that you will be able to maintain peace in your own life by not allowing others to control your emotions and get you angry all the time. If you can control your anger, you will have greater understanding of how to deal with the same issue next time, but if you are quick to anger and you allow people to push you into losing your temper all the time, this will expose your weakness as a person. It will give others the opportunity to have a bad opinion of you and you might be made to look foolish and embarrassed.

God cares about you and He will perfect that which concerns you. He loves you dearly. He knows we are not perfect and we all have areas of weakness. The Bible mentions that His power will be made perfect in our weakness. He is always willing to help if we cry out to Him and ask Him to help us. I pray that God will perfect His power in you and help you to overcome any form of weakness in your life.

His thoughts towards you are of good and not of evil to bring you to an expected end. You are an overcomer. I pray that you will overcome all obstacles and any form of weakness that may cause you to lose control of your emotions. May the goodness of God follow you wherever you go, may His mercy abound towards you and may His favour never depart from you and your household.

I pray that you will learn to exercise patience in all that you do and as you do this, may the peace of God that passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

In the words of Elizabeth Kenny, “He who angers you conquers you.” I pray that you will not allow anyone to anger you. May God bless you as you learn to exercise more patience. In the words of St. Augustine, “Patience is the companion of wisdom.”

May God Strengthen and Increase You

God is the great I AM. He is Jehovah Jireh, your provider. May He provide for you today and evermore. He is Jehovah Shammah, the Lord who is always there. May the Lord always be there in every moment of your day. He is Jehovah Shalom, your peace. May the peace of God that passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. He is Jehovah Nissi, your banner. His banner over you is love. May you know and come to experience His love in a very deep and special way. He is Jehovah Rapha, your healer. If you are going through any form of pain, may He be your Healer. He is Jehovah-Raah, your Shepherd. As a shepherd watches over his sheep, may the Lord continually watch over you and protect you from any form of evil. He is Adonai, your Master and Jehovah Mekoddishkem, the Lord Who sanctifies you. May the Lord lead you and direct you, may He sanctify you and give you peace in these troubled times.

The Bible mentions God as being El-Shaddai, the many breasted One. No matter how many of His children seek Him for help, he will never deny nor turn any one away. He always has a listening ear to hear our cries. I pray at this moment in time that God will hear all your heart’s cries. God is right now listening to those deep things that you find difficult to share with someone else. My prayer is that you will trust Him enough to let go and let Him take those worries from you. He cares for you and He will never leave you nor forsake you. I feel God saying to you, “Trust Me in this, I will not let you down”.

Maybe things have not been so great lately, maybe a lot has been going wrong in your life and things are probably not working out as you hoped it would. I encourage you to calm down and take one day at a time; do not take on tomorrow’s burdens today. Learn to leave the pain and disappointment of yesterday behind and look forward to a new day. The day has a way of working itself out if only we leave things alone and not worry ourselves thin in trying to make things happen. So, I encourage you today, why don’t you let go and let God? He is able to perfect that which concerns you. Trust in Him and He will carry you through. The pain of today is for the benefit of tomorrow. He is working it all out for your good. No matter how bad things are, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep looking forward and moving forward and you will reach where the light is. Don’t give up now, God is on your side and He will not let you down. Have hope and it shall be well with you.

God bless you today and always. Weeping may endure for a moment, but your joy will come in the morning!

May You Be Grateful and Give Thanks

My prayer for you today is that you will be grateful and content with what you have. My prayer is not that you be like the Jones’ and have what they have but that you will be yourself and be content with what you have and who you are. I pray that you will not be covetous and be competitive with friends or neighbours but that you will be happy and content no matter how small your belongings or worth in life. It is not what you have that makes you who you are it is who you are that determines how far you get in life. Life is not dictated by your friends or neighbours, life is what you make it. Quit looking at others and be content with what you have. Quit wanting to be someone else other than who God has created you to be. Lack of contentment leads to dissatisfaction, greed and covetousness.

1 Timothy 6:6 says Godliness with contentment is great gain and Proverbs 23:18 says your expectation shall not be cut off.

As you become content with what you have and who you are, God will bless and increase you, He will meet you at your point of need and your expectation shall not be cut off in Jesus Name. May God open unto you the windows of heaven’s blessings and pour you out a blessing that you will not have room enough to contain it, may doors of opportunities open for you and may men pour into your bosom, good measure pressed down, shaken together and running over. Most of all I pray that you will appreciate that your heavenly Father knows what your needs are, He knows what your heart’s cries are and He hears you and is willing to answer. Give Him thanks today and everyday as you present your needs before Him because He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that you can expect or think and He will do it for you.

May God bless you today and always.

May God give you peace in the midst of turbulence

When a plane is in the air and there is turbulence, people become frightened, some panic and others begin to pray. In the midst of the financial turbulence, the credit crunch that the world is experiencing right now, I pray that you will be able to stand and pray more than you have done before. I pray that God will open your eyes and give you wisdom to see how you can change and manage your finances better. I believe the Lord is saying to me that some of us have made bad decisions in our financial affairs and this is why we are in the position that we find ourselves right now. You may not have needed to have that credit card that is now maxed out, the loan that you got from the bank may not have been necessary and the advice you were given may have been the wrong advice or you may have made wrong choices in your decision making. In spite of all these, God is here to help.

My prayer is that the turbulence will not destroy you. The Bible says He will make a way where there is no way; He will create an Oasis in the desert. Do you feel like you are in a desert right now? God is willing to help. Though He did not make your decisions for you and He played no part in the choices you made, He is willing to lend a hand and create an oasis in the midst of your desert. Your circumstances, debt, troubles, perplexities etc, may feel like a Boa Constrictor around your neck trying to squeeze and crunch you out, God is asking me to let you know that if you surrender all to Him today, He will help you out of this dark tunnel and make a way out for you. Many have committed suicide because of the current financial crisis, I pray that you will not think that way or consider going in the same direction. Money cannot buy life, your life is more important than money. The Bible says you are worth much more than many sparrows. Whilst you have life, there is hope. I pray that your expectation will not be cut off and that God will give you the wisdom, knowledge and understanding you need so that you can face your Goliath and knock it down.

You might be experiencing sudden turbulence at this time, perhaps a sudden bad turn at home, a change at work or the sudden threat of losing your job. You may have even lost your job and you are wondering where the next manna is going to come from. You might be experiencing a lot of sudden change in the family or even amongst friends. Please be assured that all is not lost, this circumstance too will change, and it will pass. The Bible says that heaven and earth shall pass away but the Word of God will not pass away. Anything on earth is subject to change, including your circumstance, no matter how bad it might be right now, it is subject to change. Just like time passes and no man can hold down the hour, so shall your circumstance pass and your change will come. Believe me your change will come if you persevere and not give up. I pray that God will strengthen you in your inner man so that you can stand solid and not be moved by any form of turbulence in your life.

Don’t give up now, you must seek help, God says I must tell you to seek help today. Find a debt counsellor, a marriage counsellor, a prayer partner, a pastor, reverend or someone to pray for you and with you. Support is what you need at this time, go out and get it; God has made it available for you. You cannot handle the situation alone so stop struggling and let others help. Getting drunk is not the answer, overdosing is not the answer, getting angry is not the answer, isolating yourself and digging your head in the sand is not the answer. Christ is the answer. So why don’t you give Him a chance today. Ask Him to come into your life, lay all your burdens at the foot of the Cross, let Him take all your pain, worry, anxiety, sadness and sorrow, and He will give you peace in return. Surrender all to Him now, He is willing to help and carry you through the turbulence so you can land safely. Repent of all your sins and actions and turn a new leaf today.

You are not alone, there are thousands of others like you around the world crying out in the same way you are and going through the same pain you are feeling right now but the exit out of the pain is a matter of choice. You have to make up your mind that you will not give in. What will your decision be today, are you going to carry on carrying your burdens alone or are you going to lift it up to the One who cares more than you can imagine and is able to take it all from you if you surrender it all to Him? I pray that you will lift it all to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Lean on Him today, He does not fail and He will not disappoint. I pray that all will be well with you and that the peace of God will come and reign in your heart, in your home, your finances, in your family, your children, your job and all that concerns you.

My prayers are with you even as you make the most important decision of your life. Try Him today and you will not regret it. May God bless you and keep you under His wings.

May God Always Be There for You

Maybe you are looking for someone to hold your hands and pray with you or you are looking for someone to talk to about an issue that is private to you and you find difficult to share with anyone else, you might just be looking for a listening ear or someone to lean on in difficult times but you find there is usually nobody available at the time you need it most. Maybe you are feeling alone at this moment in your life. My prayer for you today is that you will lean on God’s everlasting Arms. He is your shelter and your dwelling place. He is big enough to handle all your affairs and deliver you from any form of trouble. The Bible says His arms are not too short to save. I want to reassure you today that as God saved the children of Israel from the hands of the Philistines in the Bible days of old, so will He save you from the hands of all your enemies. I pray that no matter what you might be going through right now, you will put your entire trust in God and He will carry you through. The Bible says He will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on Him, because they trust in Him (Isaiah 26:3). Putting your trust in God is key to your victory being made manifest and so I pray that you will lay down every burden right now, take those bills, put them on a table, lay your hands on them, surrender them to God and pray over the bills, pray over your children, pray for your husband or wife, pray over your job that you will not lose it, pray for God to protect your family from harm, pray that His peace will be your guide, His peace will be your anchor, His peace will bring understanding to your situation and He will make a way out for you. Trust me, He has done it for me and He can do it for you too. You are His child, the work of His hands, the Bible says that God saw everything He had made and it was very good (Genesis 1:31). God saw you the work of His hands and it was very good in His eyes. You may not look good in the eyes of man but in the eyes of God, He sees you as very good. I pray that He will be sufficient for you and that all your disappointments will be turned around for good. Have hope; don’t give up because He cares for you.

May Jehovah Shammah, the Lord who is always there continue to be there for you now and forever in Jesus Name. Amen.

You Are Destined To Make It, You Will Not Fail

If someone ever called you a failure, this means that God has destined you for success. If you are feeling frail and tired, the Bible says, “Let the weak say I am strong.” If all your bills are not coming together, this is an opportunity for you to exercise your faith and believe that Jehovah Jireh, our Provider who provides for the birds of the field without them asking for food, will also provide all your needs. If all hell has broken loose on you, this means all heaven is working it together for your good so that you will have an expected and successful end. Without war there is no victory, fix your eyes on victory and hang on to the anchor of hope. Your victory is in your faith and confession. If you believe that this trial will pass, then it will. This trial is not forever, believe me it is just another season in your life, it will definitely pass if you hang on and don’t give up. Don’t let go, the Bible says after you’ve done all you know to do, stand therefore. Please keep standing even if it seems there is no solution to your problems right now; there is always light at the end of the tunnel. This may be your darkest hour but there is light at the end. Weeping may endure for a moment but your joy will come in the morning. God will bring light, peace, solution, answer, provision, love, and all that you need and more your way if you hold on to Him and not give up. God cares more than we can imagine but the devil makes us believe he does not answer our prayers and that He is not bothered about our pain. He would not have sent His only begotten Son to die for us if this was so.

Believe me, if you are down right now and feeling depressed, there is hope for you, as this is your opportunity to surrender all to God and God’s opportunity to prove to you that He is able to carry you through and provide all your needs but you need to put your trust in Him rather than worry. Worry will not add anything to your life; it only takes away from you, leaving you with sickness and anxiety. This is not your portion. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can expect or think, so hang in there, surrender all to Him and don’t give up. Everything in life is temporary and subject to change, the only thing that never changes is the Word of God, it is the same today, yesterday and forever. So, go tell all your enemies you are going to make it, as God has not given up on you yet!

My Word for you today is in Isaiah 26:3-4 (Amplified Bible)

3You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.

4So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].

May God continue to guard and guide you and cause His face to shine upon you and give you peace in these most difficult times. Remember to pray for others even as you pray for yourself and God will bless you.

Whatever It Is, May God Pull You Through

My prayer for you today is that in this season of your life, whether you feel you are in the season of lack or in the season of abundance that you will remember that seasons change and there is a time for everything.

At a time when the whole world is going through a very tough and difficult season, we must remember even in our distress that there will eventually be a turn around.

The greatest weapon of the enemy against any person is fear. That is why the Word of God instructs us not to fear but only to believe. Today, I pray that you will believe that there is going to be a turn around for you in your life and situation. I pray that your fear will be turned into faith. I pray that your worries will have solutions, I pray that all will be well with you and your family.

Believe me, there is a way out of every tunnel, there is a light at the end of your tunnel. You still have a destiny and I pray that your destiny will not be cut off. There is something good about you, believe in yourself. If you are having the fear of losing your job, your family, your wealth and all that you’ve worked hard and believed for, I pray that the Lord God of Israel will carry you and sustain you. If you are having the fear of your property being repossessed, I pray that God will make a way for you to find favour in the sight of your bankers and send help your way. I pray that you will hold on to the anchor of hope and expectation and your expectation will not be cut off. Hang in there even though it seems like all hope is lost.

I pray that God will give you wisdom so that you can make constructive decisions that will bring a positive change in your household. You are not a mistake, you are not a failure, and you have not failed, keep trying and hold on to the anchor of hope and faith. I pray that you will not fail and you will not fall. Have hope and all will come out for your good. If you keep persevering, you will pull through.

At the end of the day, I pray that you will be able to testify of the goodness of God in your life. There is no testimony without a test, even Jesus was tested on the Cross of Calvary when he was hanged to die for you and for me. All hope is not lost, the world is confused and has lost all that it has ever held on to, but we are not meant to hold on to the material where there is no hope, we are meant to hold on to the everlasting Arms of God, the Eternal Rock of Ages, who never sleeps nor slumbers. The Bible says that the Lord is your Keeper and He is your shade on your right hand. May the Lord bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine upon you and give you His peace that passes all understanding. May it guide your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus. Hang in there and keep praying. Prayer changes things.

My scripture for you today is in Psalm 3:5-7 (New International Version)

5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.

6 I will not fear the tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side.

7 Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

God bless you as you put your trust in Him. May you have a blessed New Year.

A Prayer For You At Christmas

As we approach Christmas and the New Year and all things seem to get worse, not only in our personal lives but also in the world around us. Let us remember that there is a God who cares, yes, He cares in spite of what we all might be thinking. He was the One who caused Jesus to stop and heal the sick, the lame and the unloved. He was the One who caused Jesus to die for our sins and gave His only begotten Son so that we might have life. He was the One who caused Jesus to feed the 5000, as He saw that they were hungry and had not eaten.

We as human beings we could be stubborn at times and refuse to listen to the counsel of God when He tries to correct our wrongs and tries to steer us in the right direction in order to do good and be kind. The result of what we are experiencing in the world today is a result of human greed, selfishness and self-centredness. We truly cannot blame God for our wrongs, after all when He tries to speak to us not to do wrong, majority do not listen, they go ahead and do what they believe is right to them but when all hell breaks loose and the world ends up in the mess that it is in now what do we do? We take the easy option and blame a loving and a kind God. He cares for us whatever our belief might be, He loves us just for who we are and He never ever accuses us of something we have not done. In spite of whatever we might be going through, though we wrongly judge Him, His love remains constant towards us.

Today my prayer is that we will remember those around us that are suffering, the ones whom Christ died for. As we celebrate Christmas let us take time to remember those dying in hospital, the little suffering children in different parts of the world, those who are lonely and have no one to visit them or give them any presents. Let us remember those who are being bullied and abused and find themselves helpless with nobody to defend their cause, let us remember our elderly, they too matter and God loves them in the same way that He loves us. Let us remember to give a smile even if we have nothing to give anyone. A smile does not cost a penny and it is valuable to those who need it, it is one of the best gifts we could give to someone. Let us remember to be kind to our neighbours and those around us.

As you give and consider others, may God bless you abundantly and enrich you. Whatever your fears and insecurities might be I pray that God will be the glory and lifter of your head. I pray that the peace of God that passes all understanding will guard and guide you and abide with you always. May His countenance shine upon you and continue to radiate not just on you but also on your family and friends. I pray that God will be with you and your loved ones and no matter what you might be going through remember there are others who might be going through worse than you are. If you are scared of losing your job at this very difficult time, may you find hope in that this moment of your life shall pass and another season of fruitfulness will come. Have hope and continue to stand strong. Fear not, believe and know that as long as there is a God in heaven, your season of pain, sorrow and hopelessness will pass away. May God uphold your hand and may He never leave you nor forsake you now and forevermore. I wish you a season of joy and happiness.

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

May All Your Enemies Be Put To Shame

If whilst trying to do good you were abused and unappreciated,
The God who delivered Jesus from His accusers will vindicate and deliver you.
If you were physically or mentally abused by ones who think higher of themselves and tried to put you down,
The God who empowered David to defeat Goliath will defeat all your Goliaths and put your enemies to shame.
If you meant no harm and you were made a victim of scorn and abuse,
The God who was with Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego in Nebuchadnezzar’s furnace of fire will be with you.
God will never leave you nor forsake you,

He never leaves His own neither does He forsake them.
If you were falsely accused and lied upon,
The God of Israel will stand in the gap and shame all your enemies.
The ones who say you will not rise shall witness the glory of the Risen Christ in you.
If people lash at you in anger and are embittered against you,
God will stretch out His hand against the wrath of your enemies and His right hand will come to your rescue and save you.
Fear not, even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, His rod and His staff will comfort you.
The Lord will contend with those who contend with you and fight against those who fight against you. He will rescue you and come to your aid.
I pray that like Jesus did, you will be like a lamb, keep silent, pray for those who wrongly accuse you, abuse you and fight against you.
The blood of Jesus will fight on your behalf and judge those who persecute you.
Most of all, I pray that God will heal and give you a new heart so that you can love your enemies like He did and see them through the eyes of Jesus.
The Bible says you will be persecuted for the Word’s sake. Though you are persecuted, watch and see the salvation of the Lord.
It is very difficult to love your enemies and do good to those who persecute you but I encourage you to ask God to help you pray so that you can forgive and not allow your pain to turn into bitterness and anger. May God continue to be with you and uphold you, may He give you peace in all circumstances and may He cause His face to shine upon you and continue to guide you through this difficult journey of life.
God bless you today and always. Try and keep a smile on your face. God loves you more than you can imagine.

You Shall Not Slip

Slip - means to slide, to fall, to slide out of position, to slip from grasp, to lose control, to become worse, to slip into a difficult situation.

I pray for you today that you shall not slip. I pray that the Lord will be your light and your salvation and that you will not fear. The Lord shall be the strength of your life, you shall not be afraid. Though the enemy may strike and lash at you, the Lord will be the stronghold of your life. Though the wicked may come against you to eat up your flesh, your enemies and your foes, they shall stumble and fall. Though an army may encamp against you, your heart shall not fear. Though war may rise against you, in this you will be confident, that in the time of trouble the LORD shall hide you in His pavilion. In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide you. The Lord shall set you high upon a rock and your head shall be lifted up above your enemies all around you. I pray that you will offer sacrifices of joy unto the Lord and that you will sing, yes, you will sing praises to the Lord. The Lord will hear you when you cry with your voice! He will have mercy upon you and answer you. The Lord will not hide His face from you, He will not turn you away in anger, He will be your help, He will not leave you nor forsake you. The Lord will take care of you. He will lead you in a smooth path, because of your enemies who want you to slip. He will not deliver you to the will of your adversaries. All the false witnesses who have risen against you and breathe out violence shall be defeated before you and put to shame. May you see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

I encourage you today, wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He will strengthen your heart. Wait, I say on the LORD!

May You Be Blessed by praying this prayer

A lot of us are going through quite a lot at the moment and we are wondering, “when will it all end?” I cannot guarantee you and give you the perfect answer when it will all end but one thing I know is that in spite of it all, Jesus said in His Word that He would never leave us nor forsake us, that is if we believe and put our trust in Him. There is power in the Blood of Jesus. No matter what you may be going through right now I pray that the peace of God will surround you and carry you through.
I would encourage you today to put your trust in Him and pray the prayer below.

"Father,
In the name of Jesus, I plead the Blood of Jesus on my entire physical body, on my entire soul and on my entire spirit. I plead the Blood of Jesus against any demons that may try and come against me. I Plead the Blood of Jesus against any humans that may try and come against me.

I plead the Blood of Jesus against any natural accidents or catastrophe's that may come against me. I plead the Blood of Jesus against any diseases, illnesses or sicknesses that could possibly come against me.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I have full faith and belief that the Blood of Jesus will now protect me against all of the things that I have just Pled His Blood on.

Thank you Father.

Thank you Jesus."

Call On God And He Will Remember You

My prayer for you today is that God will remember you and act on your behalf. May God remember you even as He remembered Noah and Abraham in the Bible.

In the Bible God remembered Noah...
God remembered Abraham...
God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob...

I decree and pray today that God will also remember you as He remembered these people. In times of distress, God will remember you. In times of depression may God remember you. When the tears are flowing and you feel that no one cares, I pray that the God who remembered and did not forget to act on behalf of His people will not forget you. When you are searching for an answer and you don’t know where to turn, may God come to your aid and answer you.

God will step in on your behalf as you put your faith in Him. May God move in response to your heartfelt cries and prayers and relieve you from your distress. I pray that in the same way God remembered Rachel in the Bible (Genesis 30:22) and hearkened to her cry for a child and opened her womb so that she can have a child, may God hearken to your cries and open the windows of heaven’s blessings to bless you today, may He answer your prayers and hearken to your heart’s cries, may He hear your voice and come to your aid and answer you and resolve your dilemma and give you peace. No matter what you may be going through right now I pray that the peace of God that passes all understanding will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. May it be well with you today and always. You may not always have the answer but the answer is in Christ Jesus who died for us all. Call on Him today and everyday. May God be with you and bless you at all times.

May Your Fears Be Wiped Away

My prayer for you today is that whatever you might be going through right now that God will carry you and give you strength. Nobody promised us a bed of roses but God has promised that He will never leave you nor forsake you. In these hard times when everything seems to be slipping and falling away, I pray that you will come to a place where you know that your life is more valuable than any material possession. I pray that God will make a way for you where there seems to be no way that He will create an oasis in your desert and make a way for you in the wilderness of your life. All hope is not lost and don’t give up hope. There is a solution to every problem even though when times are hard it is difficult to see where the solution will come from. Believe that God can do it and He will pull you through. I have seen Him operate in the dire situations of my life and He has pulled me through and given me hope when things were hopeless. Please don’t give up now. My God will carry you through, He will not fail you, and He will not abandon you. If He saw the children of Israel through the wilderness in the desert for 40 years and their shoes were not worn and He provided manna (food) for them, He will also provide for you if you put your trust in Him. My prayer today is that you will continue to trust in God. Speak to Him in prayer and He will answer you. He will wipe all your tears away; He will be with you and carry you through. One of His other names is Jehovah Jireh, meaning the Lord our Provider. May the Lord provide for you, your family, your children, may He promote you at work and if you are looking for a job, may He give you favour and provide you with opportunities to get a job. Fear not, only believe that all things are possible and it shall be possible for you. I pray that you will not panic or be anxious. I pray that all your disappointments will be turned into an appointment in Jesus Name. Fear not, God is able to see you through. May He wipe all your tears and fears away in Jesus Name. Amen.
