Mark 14:38 ‘Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

DAILY READING; Acts 27:13-44; 1 Samuel 3; Psalm 51

Paul Jensen was a successful businessman with a lucrative career, a beautiful wife, healthy kids, and an exceptionally strong body and mind. From all outward appearances he had it made… or so he thought. Though Paul professed faith in Christ at a young age, as an adult he had become complacent and filled his life with work, sports, cars, travel, and alcohol.
He even stopped attending church, prompting his wife, sister and mother to begin to earnestly pray for him.
Soon something happened that made Paul to realize that he had been chasing an empty, shallow life without God.
In April of 2002, Paul’s extended family met together in Palm Springs for vacation. Paul, his wife, his sister, her husband and their children went to
Joshua Tree park California. It was a place of mountains,
boulders, sands and scrub trees.
As they hiked, Paul’s sister, Karen suddenly had a deep premonition of evil and fear.
Few minutes later, Paul missed his step and fell seventy-five feet down a steep mountain and landed headfirst on the rock below. Karen, who first got to him thought he was dead, because his body was badly twisted and distorted but she was amazed to realize he was still breathing. Karen then began calling upon the Name of Jesus, over and over again.
After paramedics came and Paul was airlifted to the hospital, a miracle happened.
Though he had fallen from a height that was the equivalent of a four story building, doctors found he had no broken bones, no fractures, no internal bleeding. The CT scan indicated that his brain hadn’t even registered trauma.
After only 4 ½ hours in the hospital, he was released and went home. It was incredible!
His miraculous recovery really shook up Paul. He then realized that his pursuit of the good life without God at the center was an illusion. Thereafter he made God the focus of his life and dedicated himself to promoting the kingdom of God.
His story is contained in his book ‘Over the edge; into truth.’

There is no doubt Paul was preserved by the prayer of his family. At that crucial time of his fall, his buoyant bank account, successful business, luxury cars and friends in high places could not save him.
Only the power of God delivered him from certain death.
Truly we need to get our priorities right. Spending more time in pursuit of worldly things and less time in pursuit of God is a huge risk.
Life is handled with prayers. Just like a driver who has no spare tyre drives carefully, we must live soberly because we have no spare life.
In a world full of snares and temptations, we must be vigilant , because there is an enemy who is going about like a roaring lion looking for whom to devour. We must know how to resist him in faith.
The truth is that either you pray or you become a prey.
This is why Jesus said we should watch and pray lest we enter into temptations.
The way of escape from temptations is prayer.
When you are spiritually fortified in the place of prayer, you will be ready to overcome whatever comes your way.
To be constantly victorious, we must make prayers our priority and give God first place in everything. There can be no compromise or complacency.
As we wait upon the Lord in this season, let us ask for fresh fire and renewed zeal in our relationship with God. Let this season of prayers be a time of building a strong spiritual foundation that will enable us stand in the face of any trial or temptation. As we travail in prayers, we shall surely prevail over every schemes and plots of the enemy. Indeed any stumbling block placed in our way, will only turn into stepping stones to our greater open doors!

PRAYER: Lord, Please in this season, renew fresh fire upon my prayer altar and enable me to make You my greatest priority in life. Thank You for helping me to overcome temptations and to triumph always in Jesus Name.

Jeremiah 32:27 says ‘I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?’

DAILY READING – Acts 27; 1 Samuel 2; Psalm 50.

Christy Beam’s heart broke every time she looked at her little girl, nine-year-old Annabel, curled up in pain on the sofa.
Since she was five years old, Annabel had been diagnosed as having an incurable, deadly digestive disease
The young girl’s life revolved around hospital emergency rooms.. This disease made her to face a life in constant agony, unable to eat.
Her life consisted of lying on the couch in the foetal position with a heating pad on her stomach. She was on 10 medications to make her system work poorly at best.
But Christy and her family continued to pray and believe God for Anabelle’s healing despite how impossible it appeared.
Christy thought things couldn’t get any worse, until one day when her daughter told her she wanted to die and go to Heaven and live with Jesus where there was no more pain’,
But just a week after saying she wanted to die, something amazing happened to Annabel.
In one of her rare days when she felt strong enough to play in the garden, she was trying to climb a hollowed-out cottonwood tree when she suddenly fell and tumbled 30ft inside the hollow of the tree.
It was a
freak fall doctors said should have left her ­paralysed, but miraculously it left her without a scratch and inexplicably cured her condition.
After firemen spent five hours in rescuing her, she was immediately air lifted to the hospital, and went through a barrage of tests and exams to access the damage.  But to everyone’s surprise, the ER doctor reported that she didn’t have any serious injury. Not only that, medical specialists were amazed to later find that her long standing incurable digestive disease was gone.  
Doctors said it was a “medical miracle”.
However Annabel revealed that while lying at the bottom of the tree trunk, she had a divine visitation and encounter with Jesus, and He had healed her of her incurable disease.  Annabel’s transformation was undeniable. Soon she got off all her medications and became a happy, healthy child. Her family carved a cross into the cottonwood tree in their garden to show that the power of the Cross had rescued Anabelle.
Her incredible story is captured in the award winning movie ‘Miracles from heaven’ which has inspired millions of people around the world.

Truly prayers changes things.. 
Sometimes when faced with problems that seem bigger than us, the natural tendency is to worry and fret. But what we really ought to do is to hand over that situation to God through intense and fervent prayers and believe Him for a miracle.

Jeremiah 32:27 says ‘I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?’

Indeed there is nothing God cannot do. This is why we should quit looking at our challenges and rather get our eyes on the all-powerful, Almighty Creator of the universe. Quit talking to God about how big your problems are and start talking to your problems about how big your God is. 
No matter what it may look like, as long as we trust in God, we can be assured He is working it all out together for our good. 

No situation that you may face is too difficult for God.
In your darkest night, when you feel the weakest and it looks the most hopeless , be assured that your loving Heavenly Father is right there with you. Even when nothing seems to be happening, He is moving mountains and orchestrating situations to bring forth your miracle. Therefore don’t give up praying.
Don’t give in to discouragement and think the answer will never come.
We serve the prayer answering God. He will surely surprise you in ways and manners your thinking could never even fathom. Therefore in this season of waiting upon the Lord keep your focus on God’s faithfulness. You will not return empty handed from this season of fasting and praying.. Surely God will give you the victory and turn every impossibility into miracles for you.
 
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to always focus on your Word so that I can possess the faith to believe You for my miracle. Thank You Lord for the amazing things You are set to do in my life this year in Jesus Name..

Isaiah 43:19 ‘Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

DAILY READING; • Acts 26:19-32; 1 Samuel 1:1-2:10; Psalm 49

Edward Donnally is a former American jockey, award-winning newspaper journalist, horse racing handicapper, and TV show host.
He achieved success early in life. By the time he was 19 years, Edward Donnally had gained fame and wealth. For almost 20 years, he traveled as a professional jockey, winning about 1200 horse races at over 50 different race tracks. He lived a wild life of drugs and drinking.
When he eventually retired from racing, he became an award-winning newspaper writer and television producer. But intense depression affected everything in his life.
When his marriage ended, he hit rock bottom. Following his divorce, he decided to kill himself and took 36 tablets of Xanax, a drug used in treating anxiety and panic disorders. After that he collapsed and lay dying on the floor, alone in the house.
But God intervened miraculously to save him. Edward didn’t know that there was a friend of his ex-wife’s, whom she had given a spare key to their house. That very day this woman chose to come to the house and when she opened the door and saw Edward on the floor, she called an ambulance.
Though he survived, for the next six years, Edward continued to struggle with depression until when he finally cried out to God for help.
That day as he prayed to God, he got his Bible and it fell open to Isaiah 43:19 which says; ‘Behold, I’ll do a new thing. And it will spring forth. Shall you not know it? I will make you a path in the wilderness and a river in the desert.’”
Edward held on to this Word and truly God began a new thing in his life. As he surrendered his life to Christ, step-by-step, he began to grow spiritually, and became a totally changed man. Today he serves as a chaplain on the Los Angeles mayor’s crisis response team and is also a public speaker who often testifies about how God amazingly transformed his life.

We are always guaranteed victory as long as we invite God into our battles.
No matter how difficult things may appear in the natural, we serve the supernatural God who is able to cause rivers to flow in the desert and do something new in the lives of those who trust in Him.
As we fast and pray in this beginning of the year, it is a good time to believe God for new things and supernatural transformations.
Whatever your prayer focus is, trust God to turn things around in your favor. Sickness will be turned into health, trials will turn into triumphs, lack into abundance, struggle into ease.
That is what God is set to do in your life. Truly, we have come into a turnaround season. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy is coming now.
You don’t have to keep enduring those lingering problems, you can have a change of story by pressing in with specific requests as you fast and pray.
Don’t just pray religiously, be specific about the answers and miracles you want to see.
As you pray with expectations, you are about to see the hand of God do things that are unusual, uncommon and extraordinary.
It doesn’t matter how hopeless any condition, just dare to trust God to do a new thing for you in this season.
Engage your faith for victory by filling your heart with God’s Word and keep calling those things that be not as if they were.
Surely, your desire to see positive changes will manifest in answer to your prayers.. By the power of the Spirit, every trial will turn into a testimony for you. God will give you a new song and turn every mourning into dancing for you in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Lord, I Thank You for the turnaround miracles You are set to do in my life. As I press on in this time of fasting and praying, I thank You Lord, for indeed starting a new thing my life and doing exceedingly, abundantly, above all I could ever imagine in Jesus Name.

Psalm 20 1 [NIV] ‘May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.’

DAILY READING; • Acts 26:1-18; Ruth 3-4; Psalm 48

Hermilo Jasso is a professor at Lee University, a private Christian university in Cleveland, Tennessee.
In 2007, he accompanied 30 students to China as part of a cultural exchange program. But a few days after their arrival, he had to be rushed to the hospital due to severe abdominal pain. Doctors discovered that his appendix had ruptured and poisons were already coursing through his body. The case appeared so hopeless that they advised Hermilo Jasso to prepare to die.
Though devastated by the sudden news, Hermilo held on to faith in God, even as the Christian students who had come with him to China, prayed earnestly for his healing.
As Hermillo’s body went into convulsions and it seemed death was near, an amazing thing happened. Suddenly, another doctor came in, and said he believed Hermillo’s case was not hopeless and said he would immediately operate on him.
Around this same time in America, Hermlllo’s father who was a pastor, was about to preach when he felt overwhelmingly burdened to pray for his son. He had no idea about what was happening in China but stopped his preaching and rallied the congregation to pray for his son.
Miraculously, Hermilo’s surgery was successful and his life was saved. He later found out that the doctor who had operated on him was named Dr. Liu and was regarded as the best doctor in China at the time.
This doctor then told Hermillo that he had come looking for him because two mysterious strangers had come to his office and directed him to go and take care of one Professor Jasso who was a very important person.
Hermillo was amazed because he didn’t know anyone in China.
Jasso was even more amazed when Dr. Liu explained to him why he didn’t die. The doctor said that his lower intestine had wrapped around the ruptured appendix so tightly that it stopped poisonous fluids from coming into his abdomen. Dr. Liu said he had never seen such in his 20 years of medical practice.
No doubt, the power of prayers had prompted amazing Heavenly intervention that saved Hermilo Jasso’s life.

Indeed God works wonders through prayers.
No matter how formidable any situation, through the power of prayer you can change the tide of the battle in your favor.
We serve the God of excessive power, excessive grace, and excessive might. There is no problem, trouble, situation or circumstance that God cannot handle.
Any time you face what seems an insurmountable mountain, do not panic. Don’t think that it is the end of the road. As long as you can keep your focus on God’s Word, be assured that help is on the way. God knows how to orchestrate miracles in ways and manners that exceeds our every imagination.
In God, we have an immovable rock that we can always run to.
Even when nothing seems to be happening outwardly, as you keep praying, God is moving mountains and orchestrating situations to bring forth your miracle. Therefore despite any discouraging circumstance, don’t quit praying, don’t quit believing. Surely, God will send you help from Zion, even people you don’t know will come to your aid.

Psalm 20 1 [NIV] says ‘May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.’

As we wait upon the Lord in this season we can expect Heavenly support and angelic interventions.
As we spend time in fasting and praying, whatever may seem to be missing in our health, finances or relationships, there will be a speedy recovery of them all.
Our investments in fasting and praying will never be in vain. Let us therefore praise God because it is our time to experience a sudden shift in our circumstances, we shall indeed see supernatural turnarounds, inexplicable miracles, speedy divine deliverances and overflow of abundant blessings.

PRAYER Lord I thank You for Your grace being released to me to experience divine deliverance and restoration in this season of fasting and praying. You are forever faithful and You never fail. I know that even right now You are perfecting all that concerns me in Jesus Name.

Revelation 4:1, ‘After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.’

DAILY READING; Acts 25; Ruth 1-2; Psalm 47

Charles Grandison Finney is known as America’s foremost revivalist and is credited with being the first preacher to employ the method of altar calls to encourage people to make a decision for Christ.
In 1828, Charles Finney held one of the greatest revivals in history in Rochester, New York.
But Finney would have missed this great move of God if he had not been sensitive to the leading of the Spirit. Finney’s lifestyle of constant prayers and fasting positioned him to pick up divine signals when it mattered most.
In 1828, Finney had many invitations to preach and was greatly at a loss which one to honor.
One of the invitations was from a Presbyterian Church in Rochester, New York, where there had been considerable division and controversy among the Presbyterians. Finney had no inclination to go there.
After he called some friends to pray with him about his next field of labor, the brethren were unanimous in the opinion that he should not go to Rochester. They advised him to go somewhere else in New York or Philadelphia.
Finney agreed with them. But when he retired that night, it became strongly impressed upon him, that the Lord would have him go to Rochester. He sensed that the difficulties at Rochester were the very reasons for him to go there.
Realizing that he and his friends had been all wrong, Finney then made the decision to go to Rochester.
When he arrived there, and began to hold crusades it turned out to become the greatest revival of Finney’s life. There were over 100,000 salvations in only six months and eventually almost every person in the town got saved and started going to church. The revival was so intense that the people lost interest in worldly things, The only theater in town closed because no one went anymore. The only beer joint in town closed too and the courthouses were virtually empty because there were hardly offenders.
Charles Finney’s revival inspired the Second Great Awakening and his ministry paved the way for later mass-evangelists such as Dwight L. Moody and Billy Sunday.

Our assessment of situations can never be more accurate than the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Life often presents us with many options and different paths but God alone knows the best direction for us to follow.
We must understand that our days have been ordained by God even before the foundation of the world. Our purpose have already been mapped out even before we were born. There is a script to our life’s story.
To successfully follow this divine script and avoid pitfalls in life, we need to be sensitive to the guidance of the Spirit.
Proverbs 3:5 tells us to trust in the Lord with all our heart, and not to lean on our own understanding.
It can be tempting to lean on our understanding by relying on our physical senses or following the advice of others, but there is a way which seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
To be able to clearly hear the Spirit, and know what to do , we must come up to a higher spiritual level because a carnal mind cannot receive the things of God.
Revelation 4:1 says “Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.’

Our spirit man needs to be trained to become more sensitive to God’s voice, so as not to miss our kairos moments.
To increase in spirituality, we must commit to a lifestyle of fervent prayers, fasting and in-depth study of the Word.
As we become rightly positioned spiritually, God will show us great and mighty things. [Jeremiah 33:3]. And through His divine guidance, we will avoid mistakes and regrets of life, enjoy great open doors and speedy progress in our endeavors.

PRAYER Lord, Please by Your Spirit, guide me on this journey of destiny. Help me to be willing to pay whatever price it takes, to hear Your clear divine direction to enable me excel in life in Jesus Name.

Romans 8:18 “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us;’

DAILY READING; • Acts 24:10-27; Judges 21; Psalm 46

For many atrocities during his leadership of Iraq, Saddam Hussein became targeted by the American military.
After America’s 2003 invasion of Iraq, Hussein totally disappeared from public view. To find him, one of the largest manhunts in history, was launched, codenamed “Operation Red Dawn.” But Hussein was nowhere to be found.
Eric Maddox is the Army interrogator specialist who is credited with pinpointing the location where Hussein was finally found.
Recently, Eric Maddox has written a book titled “Mission: Black List #1: The Inside Story of the Search for Saddam Hussein.”
In this book, Maddox shares the secret of what led him to find Saddam Hussein when all efforts had failed.
He said that Saddam had a special appetite for fish, which proved to be fatal because it led to his capture.
As an investigator, Maddox knew that people could be tracked down through their vices, so he began to look for the vices that Saddam had.
After interrogating more than 300 people he eventually questioned Saddam’s chef, who revealed that Saddam had a special appetite for a grilled fish meal.
Maddox theorized that since people closest to Hussein could not visit the fish market because of fear of arrest, there had to be another way they were getting fish for Saddam.
When he found out that a former associate of Hussein’s had built and stocked a fish pond, Maddox was able to connect all the dots.
After Maddox and the US special ops team located this fish pond, they soon discovered the hideout of Hussein’s bodyguard close by.
The capture of this bodyguard eventually led the special ops team to find Saddam Hussein on 13 December 2003 where he had been hiding in a hole in the ground

It is interesting that Saddam Hussein’s craving for fish was so acute that it had to be satisfied, even in the midst of a massive manhunt for him.
We can learn a spiritual lesson from this.
Failure to control one’s appetite or craving can lead to negative consequences.
Genesis 25:31 tells the story of how Esau’s uncontrolled appetite led him to sell off his birthright.
Biblically, the first-born son’s birthright included a double portion of the paternal inheritance. But Esau traded this blessing for a plate of porridge.
In an uncontrollable feat of hunger, he allowed his stomach to decide his destiny..
If he had taken just a moment to think about the benefits involved, he would never have made the rash decision.of despising his birthright.
In this period of fasting and praying, we are in a season of securing a glorious inheritance from Heaven. We must therefore discipline our flesh and not allow it to hinder us from the great rewards and benefits that awaits us.
By the power in the Blood of Jesus, we receive the grace not to sell off our birthright of glory to uncontrolled appetite.
This year, by God’s grace, our story must change for the better. Enough of stagnancy, afflictions, shame, lack of progress etc. This year, through the Blood of Jesus, we must surely overcome. It is our time to arise and shine and soar to greater heights.
Though fasting may not be easy, let us pay the needed spiritual price now so that we can see the glory we desire.

Romans 8:18 says For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us;’

As we wait upon God, we will receive power and renewed strength to go forth and excel.
Surely, in this season as we pray the required price, we shall see the glory of God manifest like never before in our lives.

PRAYER: Lord, please grant me the grace to always seek Your glory and not the immediate gratification of the flesh. Please help me to seek Your kingdom first so that all things can be added unto me in Jesus Name.

Mark 11:24 ‘What things so ever you desire when you pray believe that you receive them and you shall have them’

DAILY READING; • Acts 23:23-24:9; Judges 20; Psalm 45

Two days ago, on January 8, 2023, the internationally acclaimed minister of the Gospel, Pastor Jack Hayford died, at age 88. He was a prolific, best-selling author of more than 100 books. He also composed 600 hymns — including the internationally known and widely recorded “Majesty.”
However, Jack was only able to live a long and impactful life and be a blessing to his generation because of divine intervention early in his life. He was only one year old, when the enemy sought to truncate his life and destiny.
Jack was born in 1934 with a life threatening disease that defied medical solutions. This condition was gradually twisting his neck, and would have killed him in a matter of time.
His parents didn’t know a way to save his life. They were not Christians and didn’t know about the power of prayer.
When his mother’s cousin heard about miracles taking place in the Foursquare Church in California, she wrote down a prayer request for Jack and took this note to the Church.
As the Church members prayed over the request for Jack’s healing, something supernatural happened. By the next day, Jack’s parents began to notice an instant improvement in his condition. And within the next few days, he was healed. As a result of this miracle, Jack’s family accepted Christ and began to worship at the Foursquare Church.
Jack grew up to become a minister of the Gospel and would become one of the most highly respected Pentecostal leaders in the world.

God’s great plans for the life of Jack Hayford would have been truncated if no one had interceded for his healing.
But when those believers prayed, God healed him and his destiny was preserved.
Indeed God causes miracles to happen on earth when men and women pray in agreement with His will.
The greatest power human beings possess is the power to influence earth from Heaven through prayer.
Something supernatural happens whenever we pray.
God has given us the awesome privilege of prayer so that we can have whatever we desire in accordance to His Word.

Mark 11:24 tells us ‘What things so ever you desire when you pray believe that you receive them and you shall have them’

Through prayer we can have our desire of experiencing supernatural victories over every resistance to our progress.
The truth is that every great destiny will be resisted by the enemy, but those who travail in prayers, will prevail in life. Indeed we must kneel in prayers to stand in victory.
As believers, we have no alternative to prayer because there is an enemy who is on the prowl looking for destinies to truncate; as long we keep praying, our lives will be too hot for him to gain access.
To walk in power and victory, we must constantly renew our oil and fire through periodic fasting and praying.
Fasting is the price we pay to see great manifestations of power and divine accelerations. There is power in prayer, but when combined with fasting, it becomes explosive and irresistible!
Therefore as we engage in the season of fasting and prayer, it is our time to overcome any strongman resisting our forward movement.
Because prayer is the spiritual control room of life, as we pray, we shall be setting the course of speedy progress for this year.
As we fast and pray, let us expect divine open doors, inexplicable miracles, and supernatural victories over every enemy of our glorious destiny.

PRAYER: Lord, please grant me grace for perseverance at the altar of prayer. May I never grow weary, rather I shall keep growing from strength to strength, and from victory to victory in Jesus Name.

James 5:16[AMP] ‘The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].’

DAILY READING; • Acts 22:30-23:22; Judges 19; Psalm 44

Pritchard Adams and his wife Dana have served as missionaries to Haiti for 28 years.
In her book “Into The Storm,” Diana testifies of the power of prayer in their lives.
While they were on a visit to Canada, one morning her husband felt a pain in his head so severe that he collapsed to the bathroom floor. Paramedics arrived and whisked him away to the hospital where doctors discovered he had suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm; an artery at the base of his skull had burst.
While they performed surgery to stop the bleeding, Pritchard slipped into a coma. Because nearly half of all people who suffer brain aneurysm usually die, doctors didn’t think Pritchard would live.
However, as the news spread and many people started praying and fasting for Pritchard, miracles began to happen.
Pritchard beat the odds and survived. But two days later, he had a cardiac arrest and a second artery exploded in his head. This time doctors were certain he would not make it.
Dana then began to engage in spiritual warfare. With her husband still in a coma, she stood by his bed and started rebuking the spirit of death.
Pritchard confused the neurosurgeons, when he again survived the second artery that ruptured.
However, they remained unsure he would wake up from the coma and predicted that even if he recovered he would have permanent and severe brain damage.
Dana’s faith never wavered. She continued to pray, asking the Lord to give them a miracle.
The Lord did give her a miracle. After a 26-day coma, Pritchard woke up and did not suffer the neurological impairment doctors had predicted.
After 52 days in the hospital, Pritchard fully recovered, and left the hospital in good condition.
Today, Pritchard lives an active life and his life remains a powerful testimony of the power of prayer.

Certainly, prayer is the key that opens impossible doors.
Our prayers can cause divine reversals and turnarounds, just like Elijah’s prayers did.
James 5:16 says Elijah prayed earnestly that it would not rain and it stopped raining for three years. He prayed again that it would rain and it rained.
The Amplified Bible translation of James 5:16 says “The earnest [heartfelt, continued] prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].”
When we pray, we have the potential of igniting the explosive dynamic power of Heaven in our circumstances.
No matter what may be happening around you, through prayer you can overturn any verdict and transform any condition.
Prayer is the link that allows us to access Heaven’s help and to release God’s power on earth..
We must understand that we are not wrestling against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).
Therefore, we must address the spiritual cause of issues, if we want to get to the cure.
This is why we engage in fasting and praying.
Fasting and praying is a spiritual weapon that shatters demonic barriers and makes the way for the flow of miracles.
Therefore, as we step into our season of fasting and praying, we can expect to see the mighty release of God’s power that will destroy hitherto impossible barriers in our lives.
Let us get ready to experience God’s yoke breaking power as He goes before us to break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron ( Isaiah 45:2).
Because praise precedes the victory, let us therefore begin giving God worthy praise because of the wonders He will do in our lives this year.

PRAYER: Lord, by Your grace I draw the strength to persevere in this season of prayer and fasting so that I can experience all the good things You have ordained for me in this new year in Jesus Name.

Chronicles 7:14 says ‘If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.’

DAILY READING; • Acts 21:37-22:29; Judges 17-18; Psalm 43

Jonathan Edwards, was one of the greatest theologians and philosophers of the 18th century.
Born October 5, 1703, Jonathan Edwards grew up in a family dedicated to the purposes of God. Edward’s father, served as pastor and he was raised in a setting that emphasized the power of prayer.
After graduating from Yale university, Edwards pastored his first church when he was only 18 years old. His heart often yearned to see the power of God manifested and as a minister, Edwards prayed and pressed for spiritual awakening among his congregation.
Edwards was convinced from Scripture’s that God would send revival as an answer to the prayers of His people. Therefore, he labored to promote a widespread movement of prayer. In preparation for a revival he often went into seasons of fasting too.
His desire finally came into manifestation as an extraordinary revival broke out in the 1730s and 1740s, and the mighty wind of the Spirit swept through New England in the Great Awakening.
Jonathan Edwards’ prayer investment secured him a place in history as one of the most recognized and outstanding participants of this First Great Awakening, alongside other great preachers such as John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield.

By engaging the power of fasting and praying, Jonathan Edwards helped to usher in revival and positive changes in his nation.

Chronicles 7:14 says ‘If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.’

As long as we take up the spiritual responsibility to pray, God is committed to answer and bring a positive change both in our nation and individual lives.
God has put the destiny of our nations in our hands and He is calling us to partner with Him through prayer so that we will see the changes we desire.
God has great and mighty plans for our lives, but we need to connect to that glorious future by calling to Him in prayers.
Our prayers will have even greater effect and impact when we add fasting to it.
Fasting releases the yoke-breaking anointing that facilitates speedy answers to our prayers.
As the year begins the time has come for us to engage in corporate fasting and praying to secure Heaven’s agenda for us
As we fast, God promises us in Isaiah 58:6 ‘I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it’.

Certainly, it is our season to overcome every resistance and rise to higher grounds.
As we move into this season of fasting and praying, surely supernatural lifting and promotions shall be our portion and we mount up with wings of eagles to greater heights of destiny.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the grace to wait upon You in this season. By Your grace I am overcoming every stubborn resistance to my progress and pressing forward into the glorious destiny You have ordained for me in Jesus Name.

Proverbs 11:25 ‘The liberal soul shall be made fat: And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.’

DAILY READING; Acts 21:1-36; Judges 16; Psalm 42

Timothy Richard Tebow is an American football hero who first rose to popularity for publicly displaying his Christian faith on the field.
Tim Tebow is not only a leader on the playing field, but also on the mission field, specifically in helping orphans.
His book, ‘Mission Possible’ is a powerful and inspirational book that addresses the discovery of his life’s purpose of helping others.
Tim was born and raised in the Philippines, by his parents who were American missionaries. His parents served in the Philippines for more than 30 years, and when Tim was a teenager his father took him on his first missionary trip to a remote island.
During this journey, Tim had a life hanging experience, when he came into contact with a young Filipino boy who had an extremely rare birth defect of being born with his feet backwards. This made it very difficult for him to walk. Also this boy was stigmatized because in the jungles of the Philippines where he lived his condition was viewed as cursed.
On meeting this boy, Tim felt God opened his eyes and opened his heart to have compassion. He felt that was the day he received a calling to assist disadvantaged boys and girls around the world.
This passion to help burned in Tim’s heart even as he pursued a football career. Tim would eventually become successful as a football player, and in 2010 he established the Tim Tebow Foundation, an organization that aims to help the needy.
This organization that started small has continued to grow and today it reaches more than 100,000 people in 40 countries.

When as a teenager Tim Tebow opened his heart to help others, God opened the doors for him to achieve a successful career and have the needed financial resources.
The giving grace enlarges the covenant coast of a man.
Truly, one of the ways to ensure success in life is to become a giver.
It doesn’t matter your age or financial level, when you start giving, you are creating room for blessings to flow into your life and favor to follow you.
To experience open doors, we must open up our hearts to become channels of God’s miracle to others.
We all have hearts of compassion that God wants to work through to reach people.
No matter where you are or what challenges you’re facing, you can look beyond your needs and allow God use you to bring succor to others.
When we sow into people’s lives, those seeds open doors of favor and bring the harvest that catapults us to higher levels.
The truth is that our destiny is connected to helping others.
Indeed when you water others you will be watered also. When you live to give, you will never lack God’s blessings.
Many of us may not have all the resources to do much, but we can start where we are by doing the little we can to make a difference in the lives of those around us. And what we make happen for others, God will make happen in multiplied forms in our lives.
Today, let us receive the grace to open up our hearts to help others in whatever capacity we can.
As we sow good seeds in love, we shall surely reap a harvest of overflowing blessings.

PRAYER: Lord, please give me the heart of a giver, and enable me to love people as You love them. Please help me to look beyond my own needs and be a blessing to others so that I can experience Your overflowing blessings in Jesus Name.
