Deuteronomy 2:24 (MSG)
“Here’s Sihon the Amorite king of Heshbon and his land. I’m handing it over to you—it’s all yours. Go ahead, take it. Go to war with him. Before the day is out, I’ll make sure that all the people around here are thoroughly terrified.”

DAILY READING; Acts 19:1-20; Judges 10:1-11:33; Job 39

John Nelson Hyde was an American missionary who answered the call to serve God in India in 1892. He ministered in what is today northern India and Pakistan. At that time, he was one of only five missionaries in a territory of nearly one million unbelievers. The spiritual resistance to his mission work was so much that initially despite all his efforts he had no converts. In addition, he suffered great persecutions.

Realizing that he desperately needed divine help, he began to pray very intensely. So deep was his prayer life that by 1899 he began spending entire nights face down before God.
Eventually God answered the prayers, and the work began to progress. Hyde led many men to Christ in the Punjab region where he served.
However, his enemies and persecutors were not happy. The local leaders of the town, sought for ways to discredit him. They sent a man to pretend to be a believer and stay with Hyde in the hope of finding something evil in his life which they could use to taint his image.
Not knowing his intentions, Hyde warmly received the man. He stayed certain days with Hyde sleeping in his home and eating meals with him. However, the consistent prayer life of John Hyde generated so much power, that one day this man became overwhelmed and ran out of the house screaming and confessing.
The enemies’ plan to smear Hyde had failed woefully. He continued to pray so much that he came to be known as ‘Praying Hyde’.
The results of his much prayers were plainly seen in the wave of revival that swept through Punjab and the rest of India. Great anointing, miracles, signs and wonders followed his ministry, bringing many souls into God’s kingdom.

Through prayer, John Hyde overcame the plots of his enemies and experienced tremendous success.
Truly, without contention, there cannot be possession.
This year, God has set the land before you, but you must contend in prayers to take possession.
The truth is that what you do not confront you cannot conquer. What you do not pursue you cannot possess. Your level of welfare is determined by your level of warfare.
We must therefore be aggressive in our faith and actions to see God’s purpose and plan for our life fulfilled.
It is true we have a great heritage in Christ and God wants to use us to perform signs and wonders., however, we must be willing to fight on our knees to see God’s plan fulfilled.
There are forces that will try to resist your every move and keep you stagnant. If you don’t engage in spiritual warfare, you may not understand the reason for your lack of progress. But when you begin to generate fire in prayer, even hidden enemies will be exposed and flee.
Therefore to succeed in life, you must be ready to fight.
Don’t be complacent about your destiny or say, “What will be will be”.
Life will always answer to valiant spiritual warriors who will battle on their knees. Certainly, there is no victory without a fight.
Every destiny that will manifest in signs and wonders, requires the price of prayer and fasting, combined with faith in God’s Word.
As we engage in fasting and praying, there is a breaking forth of light that flushes out every force of darkness.
Certainly in this season, as we take our position in prayer, every opposition will be conquered and we will see the manifestation of Heavens agenda of wonder for us in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the power You have made available to me through the prayer altar. I receive the grace to persevere in this season of fasting so as to see the victory You have ordained for me in Jesus Name.
