iPray: Day 5

A prayer for 2010 offered by Life of a Stranger

Eternal Rock of Ages, King of Glory, Great I AM, Mighty Deliverer, Wonderful Saviour, Ancient of Days, Maker of Heaven and earth. Like Your Name O God, Your praise reaches to the ends of the earth. So Great is your power that Your enemies cringe before You. You are Our God who reigns forever, who is robbed in majesty and armed with strength. Our God who set the earth on its foundation, who makes winds His messenger, flames of fire His servant. Our God who rules over the surging sea, when the wave mounts up He stills them. Our God who is mightier than the thunder of the mighty waters. Our God who is so great that when he touches the mountain they smoke. Our God whose glory endures forever.

Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord, or fully declare His praise?

How awesome are Your deeds! Righteousness and splendour are the foundation of Your throne. Our God who turned the rock into a pool and the hard rock into springs of water. Our God who makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth and sends lightening with rain and brings out the wind from His store houses. He who made a way through the sea, and a path through the mighty waters. He who makes a way in the desert and streams in the waste land. Our God who is our rock and has no wickedness in Him; Our God who when He rises nations scatter.

What God is Great as You?

You are the God who performs Miracles. You are our God who restores. Among the gods, there is NONE like You. No deeds can ever be compared to Yours. For You are great and do Miraculous deeds. You alone are God and Great is Your Love towards Us. You are Faithful, Blameless, Pure, Trustworthy, Merciful, Powerful, Majestic, Marvellous, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Whose Words stand forever. Your ways O Lord are perfect. You are Our God who is enthroned for ever. Our Good Good God. Our comforter and Spirit of Justice. It is You who has delivered us from the depths of the grave and kept us safe in our dwelling. It is You O Lord who has made our Lot secure, and our boundary line to fall on pleasant places for us. He who watches over us that neither slumbers nor sleeps.

In You our heart rejoices.

Who have we in heaven but You? And earth has nothing we desire besides You. Apart from You O Lord, we have no good thing. You are God who is the strength of our heart when it fails, the stronghold of our life and our portion forever. Your ways O lord are Holy. Our God who grants us relief from days of trouble, and whose consolation brings Joy to our soul. O how blessed is he who trusts in You. Our God whose anger lasts for a moment, but who’s Favour lasts a lifetime. The Lover of our soul!

We just want to say Thank You.

Thank You Lord for allowing us to see 2010. The world is constantly changing and tomorrow is not guaranteed to any man, but still Lord You had enough mercy and grace bestowed upon us so that we are privileged to see your creation for yet another day and witness yet another year. For all this we want to say Thank you. For the lives of all our family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, we say Thank You. For our comforts and protections we say Thank You. We say Thank you Lord for the wonderful Plans You have for us this 2010. Thank You Lord for the Kind words You’ve declared our directions. Thank You Lord for carrying us on eagle’s wings and bringing us to Yourself (Exo. 19:4b). Thank You Lord for restoring back to us and completing all the things which You have spoken concerning us (Joel 2:23-27) in this 2010. Thank You Lord for Your Love, and all the time You’ve lavished on us. Thank You Lord for Your directions and Your guidance.

2010

Thank You Lord for making this 2010, the year we will arise and shine, for Your glory rises upon us (Isaiah 60:1-3). The year our lights will shine so brightly that nations, promotion and unstoppable miracles will locate us because of the brightness of our light. Thank You Lord for making this 2010 a time to rejoice because You Lord, King of glory, Lord of lords has exceeded our expectations and brought to pass the words You have spoke concerning us this 2010. Thank You Lord for making this 2010 a year of supernatural glory for us, for marking it a time to favour us (Psalm 102:13). Thank You Lord for making this 2010 another year filled with joy unspeakable and our best year so far. Thank You Lord for making this 2010 a year we will experience the reality (and not the religiosity) of our walk with You. And a year filled with unending testimonies of Your goodness to us. Thank You Lord for a year filled with the manifestation of Your promises. A year all eyes that sees us will see the presence of the Omnipotence in our lives. Father we just want to say Thank You Lord for all this in our individual lives.

We thank You too, that all around us, this 2010, Your creation will experience the warmth of Your embrace. A time they will know that God creator of the entire Universe is Love, and How much He loves them. Father we Thank You because in this 2010 that every family that has suffered any form of loss in a public or private setting, this will be their Year of Restoration. That they will experience You Lord in a new way, a fresh way, in a way that will bring them everlasting Peace.

We claim every member of earth including those who have sold their lives completely over to the devil for Christ Jesus, by the power of the Blood against the enemy. Father let Your name be glorified in our Lives and in the world. Let Your Spirit, the Spirit of Justice convict us of sin, righteousness and of Judgement.

Father we ask, if there be anything in us that will cause us not to experience You this 2010, Father search our hearts, have mercy on us and forgive us of our sins. If there be anything in us that grieves the Holy Spirit, King of Glory look upon us with pity and wash us clean with the blood of Jesus. We ask Lord that in anyway we have acted in ignorance against Your better Judgement, that may in anyway act as a stumbling block between us and You Lord, Father Forgive us, wipe us clean and we will remain clean.

Father we say Thank You for yet another opportunity to come together and call on Your beautiful Name. Thank You Lord for we know that our worship, praise and thanksgiving has been accepted in the mighty name of Jesus.

Amen.

Dear Daddy

Dear Daddy

You are the One to whom all praise and glory is due. The One who is all-knowing and all-Powerful, the One who is great and greatly to be praised. The reason I am here, still singing and still standing, the One who is worthy of all adoration and all praise. There's a reason why you say we should enter your gates with thanksgiving in our hearts, to come into your courts with praise, this is because it's really easy for me to get bogged down with the issues of life, praising you glorifies you but magnifies you in my life also. Today was a day of testimony but also a day of manifesting the word that we should wait on the lord until our change comes, that those who put their trust in the lord will never be put to shame and even when the answer appears to tarry we should wait for it. You are a God who can reverse what has been written about us, we need not fear the letters written by men for when we place them before you, you turn it around to for your glory. Thank you Daddy.

Father, I've been in a 'phase' for a while now, I know it and You know it. I wouldn't call it bad or good but I thank you because you have been faithful. Even though I know I haven't really been. Forgive me for cloaking relationship in religion, forgive me for thinking that religion only occurred in 'institutions', forgive me for coming to you with my lips but my heart being a little distant from you. Thank you for rising me up from my slumber and opening the eyes of my understanding to realise that it is when men sleep that the enemy sows tares amongst us. Thank you for showing me that it is a battle, a battle that will be won not by my power or my might but by your Spirit. Thank you because the battle will be won by PRAYER, by FASTING , by living a RIGHTEOUS LIFE and by SPEAKING THE WORD.

Heavenly Father I know consistency and discipline have not always been strong points with me so I'm not looking at the whole stretch. I'm looking at today, I'm looking at this moment, I'm looking at myself, unable to do what I need to do and thereby stretching out my hands to the master in faith because I know that with Him, I can walk on water. Father teach me to live a life of joy, understanding that tears may fall and there might be pain but deep within me, there is a well that bubbles and brings freshness, a joy that becomes my strength, a joy that transcends situations and circumstances, a joy that says I KNOW MY REDEEMER LIVETH!

In coming days I will be unburdening my heart to you and allowing you to do the work I have been attempting to run away from! I'm blessed that you are my daddy for how many can say that with total confidence. I can sleep at night because you give your beloved sleep, I can rise in the morning because you have said I shall live to declare your glory. Thank you for a new season of prayer we are about to enter, I give you glory and praise. Teach me to open my mouth and unburden myself to you. Thank you Heavenly Father for just as I have testified today, this year shall be a year of your greatness and goodness in my life in Jesus name.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Matthew 6:5-8

Remain blessed and highly favoured. 2010 is our year of rising like eagles in Jesus name.

2010: The year of 'The Lord has done this'

I will make rivers flow on barren heights and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water and the parched ground into springs. I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive. I will set pines in the wasteland, the fir and the cypress together,so that people may see and know,may consider and understand, that the HAND OF THE LORD HAS DONE THIS, the Holy One of Israel has created this Isaiah 41:18-20

I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in YOUR OWN LAND. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken AND I HAVE DONE IT, declares the Lord Ezekiel 37:14


Happy New Year! It's still a New Year and Lord I'm grateful that I have the opportunity to be here and still standing. To God be the glory for the great and wonderful things He has done and I' excited because He still has even greater things in store, more than I can think, imagine or comprehend!

Sometime in December I got this strong impression in my spirit that 2010 was going to be a year of the Lord doing the impossible. Yes, the Lord has always been in this business but I haven't reflected on what this means to me Zoe Believer personally!

2010 is the year of seeing the hand of the Lord as prayer points turn to testimonies and praise reports of this is the Lord's doing and it is indeed marvellous in my eyes. Don't get tired of going before the face of the Master, you may have toiled all night but keep on keeping on

2009 was tough in many respects but yet you are still here, with the same income and increased cost of living, we all still made it! Everyday we woke up, found something to wear in the wardrobe, got in the car or bus or train, went out, came back in, food in stomach. God was and continues to be faithful to us all.

God says in this season, He will turn things around, this is not survival mode, this is not scarcity mode, this is abundance even in the midst of dryness we can FLUORISH. In 2010, we must take God at His word. In 2010, let's be committed to walking with God, it's a New Year and God is still in business! Halleluyah!

Father, let my testimonies be such that you alone can take the glory. I shall testify publicly of your goodness and faithfulness in my life. I will give you the praise that is due your name that the hearts of those who hear may be encouraged to stand and live for you.

Lord, I'm excited, here we go!!

Remain blessed and highly favoured. 2010 our year of 'The Lord has done this' and the rise of the eagles. Amen and amen!
