Tap Into God’s Plans For Your Life. Allow The Holy Spirit To Direct Your Path As You Go Forward In This Day
Today we focus on the power of interceding in prayer for your family. God is forever righteous and faithful to us. And we have received favour and compassion by grace through Jesus Christ. It's now your duty as a Christian to intercede for the nation, for churches, for your communities and to intercede for your family. Just like Moses interceded for the Israelites, you are commissioned to intercede and bring your families to God.
Here is the thing I have learned about intercession; not only has God commanded you to intercede for others as a way to be a blessing to them; Intercession also blesses you. When you pray for others, God miraculously blesses you. God begins to open up your world, and show you a bigger, grander set of possibilities. Try praying for somebody else today!
Daniel 9 : 2 - 4 says: “in the first year of his reign, I , Daniel, perceived in the books the numbers of years that, according to the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years. Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes. I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession, saying, “O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments”
Interceding for the people of Israel, brought Daniel into covenant relationship with God. This Year God is enlarging your territory. In the past I thought that if I simply prayed for an increase that's all that mattered, but in this week of prayer, God has shown me, THERE CAN BE NO INCREASE WITHOUT SERVICE! For what shall I render unto him who has given be everything? The old saints would say, only what you do for Christ will last. So my beloved, the question before you today is: WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR OTHERS? HOW ARE YOU HELP SOMEONE ELSE? WHAT SERVICE WILL YOU RENDER UNTO GOD?

These are the Three biblical principles on how to intercede for your family. * Make your request to God plain. Don't complicate your prayer request. * Practice patience and persistence in prayer; God hears every prayer and He does answer us - but it’s in His way and in His timing. We are so quick to give up. Jesus tells the parable of the persistent widow who never gave up. In luke 18:1 And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. * Partner with other family members in prayers. We face the reality that many of our own family members don’t know the joy of this Good News. Through prayers and partnership in biblical teachings and elaboration may give the insight towards understanding God.
