Galatians 6:1-5

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such a one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
For every man shall bear his own burden.

Prayer

Help me not to focus on the mistakes or deeds of the people in contact with me.

Rather let me have a heart to forgive people and not judge them.

For those who are down, I pray I will encourage and lift them up.

I know that I am what I am, by your grace and your grace alone.

I also pray that my actions will bring honour to you.

Let me be sensitive to your Spirit.

I pray in Jesus name. Amen

Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Prayer

I open myself up to receive these fruits.

I pray that the fruits of the Spirit will manifest in me.

As I start to walk in them, all limitations on my relationship with my father are broken in Jesus name. Amen

Galatians 5:19-21

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Prayer

Father, help me to be conscious of all the works of the flesh.

More importantly help me to be sensitive to the works of the flesh unmentioned, and such like…

Lord I want to meet you in heaven. The death of Jesus will not be in vain concerning me. I do not want to end in hell.

Thank you for helping me in Jesus name. Amen

Galatians 5:16-18

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Prayer

Lord, I want your spirit to lead me so that I would not allow my flesh to rule me.

I must not do the things I know are wrong, no matter the temptation.

As I yield to the spirit of God, I will continue to live in freedom.

Lord, I must not fall out. Help me father in Jesus name. Amen

Galatians 4:1-3

Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

Prayer

Lord, I thank you for providing the means for me to be your child.

As your child, I now realise that growing up and maturing is of vital importance.

From today, I refuse to be held in bondage by any spirit or agent from the devil.

Nobody will hold me captive any longer.

I unseat every tutor or governor in Jesus’ name.

I need to start to grow spiritually.

As I start to put effort into learning, I ask for the Holy Spirit to teach me.

Thank you father in Jesus name. Amen

Galatians 3:13-14

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Prayer

Father I thank you today for the gift of life you have given to me.

You have been made a curse for me. Every single curse that the devil and his agents have unleashed in my direction, you absorbed on the cross of cavalry.

As I am in you, none of the missiles of the enemy can touch me. In ignorance, they will continue to try, their failure is signed and sealed and my victory is assured.

I thank you so much father that you have done this for me and my future generations because you want me to be a partaker of the blessings of Abraham.

I reaffirm my faith in your son Jesus Christ. Thank you for Jesus. Amen

Galatians 3:11

But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

Prayer

Thank you for father for coming down to earth to fulfil the law.

As it is not possible for me to obey every requirement of the law, you have told me all I need to do is to live a life totally believing in you.

This is the only pre requisite for living a victorious life.

Lord, anything that is a barrier to my victory, I give you permission to take it away.

Thank you father in Jesus name. Amen

Galatians 3:1

O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

Prayer

Lord as different doctrines bombard us, help me to decipher the truth of he gospel and to obey all.

Teach me how to test the spirits behind all I hear and read.

As I march on, your death on the cross of Calvary will not be in vain.

Thank you father in Jesus’ name. Amen

Monday, April 19, 2010

Galatians 2:20-21

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Prayer

Paul a human being like me has lived a life of complete surrender to Christ.

As you arrested him, make it impossible for me to continue to live the way I now live.

I want to live a life of faith in Christ.

Let your grace abound over me.

I pray I will not frustrate this grace.

Thank you for dying so I can live in Jesus name. Amen

Hebrews 12:14

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Prayer

I am going to be conscious of your word that says I have to live at peace with all men.

Father, cause me to think before I speak and I pray that my thoughts will be acceptable to you. I must not think evil of people. Help me.

I want to see you all the time. I know when I see you, I will enjoy your presence. Without holiness I cannot see you. Let every filthiness in and around me die in Jesus’ name. Amen

1 John 4:2-6

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Prayer

Father I confess that Jesus Christ is the son of God.

Open my heart to see those who are agents of the devil, who do not acknowledge that Jesus is the son of God.

Thank you because you are my father and you are in me, I have overcome the world and every plan of the devil concerning me has failed in the name of Jesus.

Every plan of the devil and his agents I nullify in Jesus name.

Let me be sensitive about the things I say. Help me not to speak as those who are in the world.

You have said you will bless me and I will be a blessing. As I speak, let the people I speak to hear me and they them be impacted.

Thank you father in Jesus’ name. Amen.

1 John 4:1

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Prayer

Father, let your spirit in me lead me in all I do.

Help me to discern the spirit behind what I hear and who I am relating with.

As the end times are here and with so many false teachers and prophets abounding, stir me to run away both physically and spiritually whenever I come into contact with anything or word that is not expressly from you.

Teach me how to guard my mind.

Thank you father in Jesus’ name. Amen

1 John 3:19-24

And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Prayer

Lord I thank you that I am not condemned because I know you have paid the price for me.

You know the beginning of my life from the end and the end from the beginning.

My confidence is in you not in any other.

I bless you father, knowing that if I keep your commandments anything I ask for, I will receive from you.

Let me not forget your commandments and help me to keep your commandments.

I believe in your son, Jesus Christ.

I am submitted to him and I continue to try to love my fellow man.

Lord where I fail, lift me up, you know my heart.

As I try to hide myself in you, come in today into my life and overwhelm me with your presence.

Let your spirit rule me.

Thank you for you love in Jesus name I pray. Amen

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

1 John 3:11-18

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Prayer

Thank you for the word of life. Thank you for enabling me to abide in you. Lord, take away any hatred in my life.

As you laid your life for me, I want to be in a position for lay down my life for my fellow man.

I pray that as I come across those in need, what you have provided for me, I will be able to share with them.

I pray that the heart of love in me will grow and be genuine and is not artificial.

Thank father in Jesus’ name. Amen

1 John 3:4-10

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

Prayer

Father, I know that for me to maintain my relationship with you, I must obey you and be like you.

Sin has to be far away from me. When I sin it indicates I am behaving like someone who has not had an encounter with you. I am saying that the devil owes me. That is certainly not so.

As I ask for forgiveness, I also say let your spirit in me help me.

As you sent Jesus to come to this world to destroy the works of the devil, let every hold of the devil over my life in any area whatsoever be destroyed now in Jesus’ name.

I determine that your seed will remain in me because I am born of you and the world at large will know that I am your child.

Your righteousness will continue to show in me and I will love my brother.

Thank you for continuing to steer me in the right direction.

Thank you for Jesus. Amen

1 John 3:1-3

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Prayer

You have showered me with love. You died for me and I am now your son.

When you were on earth, the world did not know you, so the world cannot know me.

I am your child, help me to be like you. You are coming back soon, I have to be ready.

Let a desire to be pure be my watchword.

Thank you father, in Jesus name. Amen

Saturday, April 10, 2010

1 John 2:25-29

And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

Prayer

Thank you for the gift of eternal life.

Let me not be derailed by those who are out to seduce me.

Let the anointing I have received dwell richly in me. Importantly I want to dwell in Christ.

I pray that I will not do anything that will bring disappointment to you father.

As you have declared me righteous, with your help I will continue to be righteous to show that I am of you.

Thank you for your grace in Jesus name. Amen.

1 John 2:18-24

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
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.

Prayer

Thank you for warning me that the antichrist is here.

Help me to guard my mind, ears and eyes so that I will be in contact only with what is good for me.

I pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to teach me all things and what I am taught I will use all the time.

As disciples of the devil continue to look for those they will rope into hell, help me to stand firm against them.

As your grace has abounded in the past, help me not to deny you.

I acknowledge you as my Lord and Master.

All that I have heard, let them abide in me.

Thank you father in Jesus name. Amen.

Thursday, April 8, 2010

1 John 2:12-17

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning.
I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning.
I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Prayer

Thank you for forgiving me of all my sins out of your loving kindness.

Thank you because by your death and resurrection, you overcame the devil and I am a partaker in your victory.

Thank you father for revealing yourself to me, and enabling me to know you.
Let your word continue to abide inside me.

Help me concentrate my focus on you. I pray that my mind will not be on the things of this world, things that do not add any value to my journey towards heaven.

Teach me to love you. Help me to kill the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.

Let fleshly things and carnality die totally in my life.

I do not want to die and go to hell. I want to have eternal life.

Let my desires come to pass.

Thank you father in Jesus name. Amen

1 John 2:8-11

Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

Prayer

By your grace the darkness in my life is past and your true light is shining on me.
Teach me to emulate you. Help me to stay in your light.

I must always remember that you have loved me without any preconditions, therefore help me to love my neighbour no matter the situation.

Your light must shine in me. I do not want to have anything to do with the devil by hating my brother. I refuse to walk in darkness as I ask again for the light of God to overwhelm me.

Thank you father in Jesus name. Amen

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

1 John 1:5-10

This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Prayer

You are a perfect God. You are light and darkness is not in you.

I thank you father as I come to you as your child. My Lord, help me to stop the things that I still do and the thoughts that still cross my mind that definitely do not come from you.

As I desire to walk in the light, let your spirit lead me in the way. I ask that your blood cleanse me from every sin, both open and secret.

It is only you that is perfect, without sin. It is foolishness for me to say that I do not have any sin. Forgive me of all my sins, cleanse me of unrighteousness.

Let your word rule my heart. Thank you for the new chance in Jesus name. Amen

Monday, April 5, 2010

1 Peter 2:9-10

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Prayer

I thank you father for choosing me, thank you because me and my household and future generations are now separated from the past.
I am your bond servant sanctified with the blood of Jesus doing peculiar things for you.
Thank you for positioning me to do things which cause your name to be praised.
I am no more in darkness, your light is shining all over me in every area of my life.
I thank you because your mercy has come through for me, Jesus name. Amen

Zechariah 4:9

The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.

Prayer

Father, in areas where I am still behind, let your grace push me forward.

Help me to complete everything I have started.

Let the anointing of “good finishing” rest upon me from this moment.

The hands I used in starting will be the same hands I will use in completing all my projects. My hands will not be amputated physically and spiritually.

My “God given brain” will certainly move me to the next level.

Thank you for sending your angels to me father. Amen.

Saturday, April 3, 2010

Zechariah 4:6

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

Prayer

I ask that as my father I need to hear you speak to me all the time.

Lord who am I without you?

What do I have without you?

What can I do without you?

What can I achieve without you?

All my so called power and might are nothing without you.

The power of life and death is in your hands.

I re-submit to you totally today. Let there be a complete exchange of all I am and let all you are, indwell me from now on.

Let your spirit in me, arise and start to work in me in greater dimension.

Thank you father in Jesus name. Amen.

John 8:31-32

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Prayer

I have to believe your word. Help my faith

Give me a heart to live by your word. Let your word dwell richly in my heart.

I want to be identified as your disciple.

As I live by the word, let the truth be revealed unto me, that I am free from the law of sin and death, the truth that I am sanctified unto God, the truth that I am not under the power of the devil and the truth that I have power with God in Christ Jesus.

Lord and Master, thank for your word and its impact over my life.

Thank you again for my freedom.

Thank you for what your son, Jesus did for me.

Be magnified father in Jesus’ name. Amen.

John 15:15 -16

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Prayer

Lord, I thank you for calling me your friend.

I thank you for taking me as I am, washing me clean with your blood and elevating me to the position of friendship.

I pray that that all you have told me, either by speaking directly to my heart when reading the bible or from the messages I hear from my spiritual leaders, I will continue to remember them and your word will benefit me.

You opened the door to me and I came in, you chose me and gave me an assignment.

Lord help me to bear fruit. Let this duty be the driving force of my life.

I ask that the people you have identified as my fruit, order my steps to where they are, and as I speak to them or as my character draws them to you, touch their hearts and let them remain in you.

As I obey you, according to your promise, all I ask for by your spirit grant unto me in Jesus name. Amen.
