Philippians 2:5-8

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Prayer

Father I pray that I would have the same type of mind that Jesus had.
As powerful as Jesus was, he emptied himself of such powers and he came to the earth to serve mankind.
Every power I think I have, every pride, I surrender at your feet today. Your word says that the humble inherit the kingdom. As Jesus lowered himself and served humanity, I pray that that spirit of service will be stirred up in me now in Jesus name.
As Jesus was obedient even unto death, help me to be obedient to you.

1 John 2: 20 - 25

But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

Prayer

Father I thank you for the anointing that You have given me that enables me to know all things about Jesus. I thank you for this grace, I have not worked for it, it has been given to me.
I also thank you today because the truth has been exposed to me, the truth is real and there is no lie in the truth.
I thank you because I know that anybody that denies Jesus is the Christ is antichrist, that person denies the father and the son.
Father, today I acknowledge that Jesus is the son of God.
I pray today that all that I have learnt will remain in me, nothing will take them away. I pray today that I will remain in you and you will remain in me. Your Spirit will also help me to continue in you.
I pray that I will not miss your promise eternal freedom.

John 8:44

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Prayer

This day, I cancel every association with the devil.
Father, there are certain things I still struggle with, help me to overcome them.
The lusts of the eyes, flesh, secret pride in my achievements, I am sometimes envious of other people, other people’s children compared to mine, I keep malice with people.
When I kill people with my mouth or my eyes, I now see I am associating with the devil. When I tell that little lie, I am doing what satan did in the garden of eden, he was punished, therefore I am only bringing punishment upon myself.
When I lie, I am only telling you I belong to the devil.
Thank you because your death on the cross has paid the supreme price for me.
Father with my new understanding I ask for forgiveness for all those things I have continued to do either in ignorance or of my own free will.
Help me to make the right choices, let my conscience prick me when I am about to do the wrong thing. Amen

Prayer

Lord, I want your word to impact me stronger all the time. Every time I read or hear your word, let it envelope me and propel me quickly towards my destiny.
Let the power in your word, cause everything dead in me to be alive, every weakness to receive strength, every barrier to be fall down flat.
For the word to change me, let it reach the innermost parts of my being like a sword cutting away my original belief system that is not based on trusting you.
Lord at times the truth of your word hurts, but help me to start to accept that it is for my good. Amen

Exodus 23: 22-25

But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

Prayer

Lord I see your promise to be an enemy to my enemies is based on the condition that I obey your voice and do all that you speak.
I do not want to miss out on the victory laid out before me. I need to make the right choices. Help me.
I am surrounded by enemies, known and unknown. As I step into the place you have prepared for me, cut off every agent of the enemy standing between me and my blessing.
I know I must have nothing to do with the cares of this world, father sometimes they are tempting, but I ask that the spirit of discernment of good and evil be in me.
Lord help me to be a vessel in your hands destroying the works of the devil in these times wherever I find them.
I promise to serve you with all my heart in whatever capacity you want me to.
Thank you as you bless what I do, knowing that it will be sufficient for me.
I also thank you for freedom from sickness for me and my family. Amen

Prayer

Thank you father as you have sent an angel before me to keep me in the way of life and to bring me to the place where you have prepared.
I pray this day that I will get to that place which is heaven.
On my way to heaven I pray that I will fulfil my purpose here on earth. Every station in life where I am meant to get to I will achieve with the help of the angel you have assigned to me.
I see that I have to be observant of all the angel tells me, so as to obey his voice. Let me be sensitive o Lord. Help me to walk in line.
Sometimes when I make mistakes let me realise them immediately and come back to you in repentance. Forgive me in all such cases. Let your mercy prevail.

2 Chronicles 16:9

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

Prayer

Father, I thank you today because I know your eyes run to and fro throughout the whole earth.
I thank you as I know that there is nothing that is happening to me that you do not know about. There is nothing the enemy is planning that you are not aware of. Indeed you are Almighty. You know the beginning and the end.
I thank you because you have made the devil aware that I am your child, and where I am concerned you come down like a ton of bricks on all the agents of the devil.
I pray father that my heart will be perfect towards you.
I am totally dependent on you.
Help me as I will not look unto man for help, I know you are more than able to see me through all that come my way.
I am aware that if I look elsewhere, turbulence and wars I cannot win will engulf me.
Help me as I walk on the straight and narrow path. Amen
