Given the need to create a success environment for 2023, we will continue with prayers in our conversation today.
I want to encourage you to pray these prayers fervently, and in a manner that convinces you that you have indeed prayed. To the glory of God. Amen.
1. Pray for yourself: To be strengthened for the journey ahead. To be empowered to stand against all contrary forces against your life and destiny. To work hard at achieving success.
2. Pray for your family members and their businesses and careers and their private endeavors. Snd the academics of the children.
3. . Pray against the violent man, the evil man, the wicked and unreasonable people around you, working to undermine your doings, and those of your wife, your children and all that are yours.
4. Ask God for fresh ideas that will STAND you out in the run of life; and in the midst of those who set themselves in competition with you. An idea that will alter the narrative of your life. Proverbs 22:29.
5. In 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Jabez prayed. And God heard him, and made him more honorable than his brethren. Ask the LORD to make you more honorable than all your family members, your peers and your generation. Pray in Jesus’ name.
6. In 1 Chronicles 12:32, the Scripture records that the sons of Issachar understood the times and knew what Israel ought to do, hence their brethren were at their command. Ask the good LORD to position you to know: what you should do in 2023. What your family should do to be different from others? And what Nigeria should do — also differently from what has always been?.
7. Pray for a breakaway from all unGodly patterns in your family, your life and your environment. Resist long periods of unemployment after graduation , singlehood for young people, our youths and our church people, as it were. .
8. Pray for Christian homes and marriages, pleading for mercy for the reduction of the number dysfunctional homes and marriages as well as wayward husbands, wives and children. Pray against violence and gender abuses in families and marriages.
9. Raise a standard against the spirit of divorce in christian marriages because” God hates divorce”.
10. Pray for a reset of Nigeria’s Economy: To be productive. To create jobs. To enhance citizens’ welfare. To create disincentive for crime and criminalities.
11. Tell the LORD to trouble and distress all violent people in the land. Let evil diseases overwhelm them in Jesus’ name.
12. That the 2023 general election will usher the will of God for Nigeria. And all those who would want to truncate God’s will for our country will be undone.
13. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD for He has answered us in Jesus’ name.
Praise the LORD. God bless. Happy Sunday.
