Stay with Jesus in the School of Prayer

I was just wondering how the lord could spend an all night praying; what at all was he saying? Well if it is the way the master went then we cannot do otherwise. Let us enlist and stay with Jesus in the school of prayer.

[Luke 6:12 KJV] “and it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to god.”

We want to arise tonight and pray that

God will help every adult in the church to believe and continue steadfastly in prayer, in the things we have heard, and in the temple daily. This is what the walk of faith must be. (Acts 2:41-47¹)

God will help every adult (above 16yrs) in the church to keep life simple, authentic and without covetousness. This is how we can boldly say the lord is my helper, I will not fear what a man will do to me. (Hebrews 13:5-6²)

God will graciously open great and effectual doors unto every adult (above 18years) in the church to earn at least $70/person/month through legitimate labour and remember to pay their tithe. That is to say that if you have a family of 5, you should earn a minimum of $350 a month. I have no doubt that as we remember to pay our tithes, we will increase from there. Anytime you are earning more than that remember to save, invest, and sow.

God will prepare and appoint every female adult (above 23) and male adult (above 25) a suitor ready for marriage. Note that the church will not tolerate any nonsense and October rush. Marriage is an estate that is honourable and should not be entered into unadvisedly. The church will only bless marriages that respect the churches protocols. It is my prayer that as many as are desiring to marry will meet a good and responsible suitor that fears the lord.

God will help every adult (above 40years) or family the grace and favour to buy a land, build a good house, and dwell in it. Please it is important to know that building a house takes wisdom and time. There is no rush in life but old age begins at 40; so, you start to prepare well for when things get messy and darker sometimes. I don’t want you to rush, so plan and prepare and build at your own pace. (See Deuteronomy 8:10-22)

God will lead every one of us in the paths of righteousness and not into temptation, forgive and restore those who have sinned, and heal all those taken ill in church. Lack of direction leads to mistakes and temptations and hurts, but god is not waiting to strike you dead; he is ever willing and ready to forgive, restore and heal you. (See Psalm 23, Luke 22:40³, James 5:16⁴)

God will count us worthy to escape the things that will come upon the world, send more labourers into the harvest, and let his word have a free course with others. Let us pray for missions and the rapture of our own souls. (Luke 21: 36, Matthew 9:38⁵)

I have no doubt that as we spend time to meditate and to pray through these guides thoroughly our church shall advance in leaps and in bounds.

God bless you, I love you.
