WORD FOR THE MONTH
THE Month OF JUNE IS THE MONTH OF PRAYER.
The month of June is dedicated to prayer. I send you posts usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday. But this month we will be praying everyday! Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday we will be praying by 12 noon and 10pm but Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, we will pray by 10pm. On Sundays, we will have times of prayer in church.
Ephesians 6:18 Amp
Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people).
There are different kinds of prayer. One of the reason people don’t receive answers to their prayer is because they use the rule of one prayer on the another.
Mark 11:22-23KJV
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith
That’s the prayer of faith above.
Matthew 18:19
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
That the prayer of agreement. What if we are flying, can we still pray this kind of prayer? Yes, this is because the earth used here is actually your body. Your body is made from the earth and provided you can still function in it, you can pray this way.
The third is the prayer of intercession. This is a very important kind of prayer.
Ezekiel 22:29-30NIV
29 The people of the land practice extortion and commit robbery; they oppress the poor and needy and mistreat the foreigner, denying them justice.
30 “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.
31 So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing down on their own heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign Lord.”
This is terrible. This month, we will pray for our nations. We don’t want evil to prevail, we want good to prevail. So we will pray for the nations and see wonders take place. This month, don’t speak against the leaders of the nation. Pray for them.
We will also pray for the church this month. Colossian 1:9-11 KJV
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
Eph 1:15 – 18 KJV
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 AMP:[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,
18 KJV:The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Intercessory prayer is not a prayer you pray once and stop, you pray always. But when it comes to you, you don’t pray this for yourself, you apply it to yourself. You declare that it is done in your life. You say ‘the eyes of my understanding are enlightened…’ Glory to God. So get ready, this month, we are going to [truncated by WhatsApp]
