2024 - Prayer and Fasting to open up the New Year
It's my year of FREEDOM, from all manners of oppression and shame
Day 1: Tue Jan 2, 2024
We are starting the new year with appreciation of His past, current and futures deeds in our life. It's an opportunity to speak from our soul and bless the Lord.
Prayer Focus: Thanksgiving
Psalm 107:8-9 (NIV):
8 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
9 for he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.
Psalm 107:19-21 (NIV):
19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
20 He sent out his word and healed them;
he rescued them from the grave.
21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind.
Prayer Points:
1. Pray from your heart, thank the Lord for His unfailing love in your life, family, ministry, career, business, and all undertakings. Think of the goodness of the Lord and express your heartfelt thanksgiving unto him.
2. If you or any of your loved ones have experienced healing, give thanks unto the Lord.
3. Reflect on the hopeless situation you had experienced in the past, even if it's still present, give thanks for victory, success, freedom, Testimonies, etc, etc.
4. Overall, think of His goodness and the fact that your spirit still bears witness that you are His child and Worship him.
5. Sing to God old songs you know, sing unto him a new song composed by you in this prayer session.
6. Use the whole day to appreciate God for bringing you into this new year, 2024, for His purpose. Any moment you have today, while you drive, in the washroom, while you work, while you rest, etc you do not have to verbalize your prayer. Make sure your heart is in sync with the Lord.
7. Identify your lows and highs in the passing year and thank God for the experience, knowing fully well that “All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
Day 2: Wed Jan 3, 2024
Prayer Focus: Walk with me in the year Lord
Leviticus 26:12 (NIV):
"I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people."
Isaiah 43:2 (NIV):
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
It's needful for us to enjoy presence of God in our lives in 2024. It provides assurance that all will be well and we would be guided within His wills for our lives
Prayer Points:
1. Let me be able to enjoy your presence in my daily life this year and be among your people
2. Guild me through the difficult part of the year (Isiah 43:2). Never leave me nor forsake me in the burning fire, flood and other dangerous situation of 2024.
3. Shower unto me the grace to walk perfectly with you like Enoch (Genesis 5:24 (NIV):
Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
4. Fill me with grace and power to do good this year, all to your glory.
5. Let sin be far away from me this year 2024
Day 3: Thurs Jan 4, 2024
Prayer Focus: Fulfilling Purpose in the year 2024
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied .
46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands.
48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose , and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted , and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
