BE BOLD ABOUT YOUR GOD BECAUSE EVERY AREA OF WORRY IN YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER.
PRAYER WARRIORS NEVER LIVE IN WORRIES
- Pastor (Mrs.) Faith Oyedepo
Day 11 Morning Session,
21 Days of Prayer and Fasting (10th to 30th January 2022)
In our morning prayers all through this week, the subject we are looking at in our exhortation is cautioned: PRAYER DOESN’T ONLY CHANGE THINGS, PRAYER CHANGES PEOPLE. Clearly the altar of prayer is the altar of transformation. We see this all through scriptures and in our contemporary examples in life. The altar of prayer is the altar of transformation. Church Gist. One major area where we experience transformation in prayer is that prayer removes worry from us. Whatever area of life where you might have been experiencing worry in time past, I congratulate you because an end has come to it.
- Before the end of these 21 days and fasting, your situation will change for the better.
- Every area of worry in your life shall be taken over by God.
1 Peter 5:7.
Aren’t you glad that the God of the whole earth cares for you? He said casting ALL, how many? 50 per cent? 70 per cent? 95 per cent. All your cares and what we do when we pray among other things is to cast our care on God. God cares for you. Tell yourself “God cares for me”. Church Gist. We cast our care upon Him on the altar of prayer. As you engage on the altar of prayer these remaining days and as a lifestyle. Every care of your life shall be taken over by God. Philippians 4:6. In prayer our worries and concerns are taken over by God.
Worry is a thief, it steals people’s glorious destinies. It makes people’s lives to wobble. As for you, I have got good news for you from today: worry has lost its major hold in your life.
One major example that we are going to be looking at today is in the life of Daniel. Daniel: A Prayer Giant.
- I see God raising many prayer giants in our midst before the end of these 21 days and fasting.
Daniel 6:10
The writing was signed that he was going to be thrown into the den of lions and rather than be fearful and worried. He went to His house, opened the window, knelt down and gave thanks unto God. Question: what did he pray about? The Bible didn’t tell us specifically, but I am very sure Daniel didn’t go back to praying to ask God for the king to cancel what was going to happen to him. The prayer that he has been praying aforetime already took away worry from his life. Church Gist. To the extent that when the writing was signed that he was going to be thrown into the den of lions, he was not afraid, he was not worried, he was not jittery. He didn’t have to run to the king to begin to plead. He didn’t have to close his window and pray in secret. Rather he did as he used to do. What did he used to do? Boldly, openly, unashamedly prayed to his God. He didn’t shift his ground because of what they were going to do to him. He was confident, he was resolute in His God. I am very sure that Daniel must have settled it in his heart that even if they threw me into the den of the lions, I am coming back alive.
It had never happened to any man but Daniel as we are told believed in his God. Did it happen for him or not? Every area of worry in your life must die this season. In your workplace any one threatening you and making you want to shift your ground, hiding your Bible in public, removing or hiding your I am a Winner sticker in the open. Church Gist. You are in the public transport and you don’t want anyone to know who you are as a child of God, not you anymore. I say not you anymore. Be bold about your God because every area of worry in your life has been taken over.
What is that aspect of your life where you have that concern? Remember the Bible tells us in the book of Psalm very clearly that the Lord will perfect all that concerns you. He will perfect it. How will He do it? One of the major ways he will do it is on the altar of prayer. You find out all through scriptures and in our contemporary world that men of prayer, prayer warriors never live in worries.
- No more worries for you.
Lions had no power over Daniel’s body. Whatsoever might be eating up people in life shall no longer have power over your destiny. Church Gist. Whether it be in your relationship, your workplace, your career, while others are saying there is a casting down, as for you who is standing on the altar of prayer there will be a lifting up.
Daniel 6:19-22.
When you stand in prayer, you are serving the Living God, you are not serving Faith Tabernacle, you are not serving Winners Chapel, you are not serving Oyedepo, you are not serving any man, you are serving the Living God. Begin to watch out among other things for angelic intervention. On the altar of prayer, after your prayers, begin to watch out for angelic visitations. This is one of the things we enjoy at the altar of prayer. You will enjoy it in Jesus name.
Expect to return transformed at the end of the ongoing 21 days of Prayer and Fasting. Expect it and it will happen. When you expect it, God will make it happen for you.
- You will be transformed.
- You will begin to enjoy angelic visitation
- Every area of worry in your life shall be turned to testimony.
- God will turn you to a living proof. It happened for Daniel, it will happen for you also.
Take advantage of the hours remaining in this particular day as you begin to war in prayers, watching out for angelic visitations. It will happen for you in Jesus name.
Prayers: Lord, as I engage, I expect my transformation.
