PRAYER POINTS FOR 2016

Truth is the year 2016. Jesus spoke the truth to those who believes (not just the Jews), “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.  And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32)

Prayer remains as the undeniable key of vessel.
Truthfully will you engage prayer and be watching n the journey of 2016?
Prayer Points
To God, express your appreciation to provoke your expectation.
Life should not only be about what you expect from the Lord but also how you express your appreciation to the Lord. By grace, the hand of the Lord has been keeping through days, weeks, months and year after years.
The hand of God upon you is not because of merit but mercy.
Living life is not a right but a privilege bestowed upon us by God.
Why not turn from expectation to expression of your appreciation?
Are you consciously aware that God expects our appreciation?
When there is a failure to appreciate it becomes an evidence of foolishness. Foolishness is like saying there is none to appreciate.
Psalm94:8-11, “Understand, you senseless among the people; and you fools, when will you be wise?
He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge?
The Lord knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.”
Prayer: Ask God to direct your heart into appreciation of His hand upon life He has given you.
God is our shield. Consciously, consistently call Him your shield in your prayer and meditation.
Psalm 3:3 stated, “But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.”
In this wicked of world, for deliverance and preservation, God should be called our shield. What you ask in His name is what you get from Him.
Genesis 15:1 stated, “After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
Psalm 18:35 stated, “You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great.” Indeed God is our shield, our salvation.
Prayer: In the coming days, weeks, months and years. It is worth to commit our head into His hand for Him to be lifting up our head from where 10s, 100s, 1,000s are falling down in this wicked of world.
As our shield, we are going to ask Him to help us not give self to afraid which often revolves to fear.
God is a faithful and He shall answer when we ask, seek and knock.
With prayer there is open heaven. Elijah and Elisha proved to us that with prayer heaven opens on our behalf.
Elijah prayed, “And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, ’As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.” (1King 17:1) God shut heaven against Ahab and rain of comfort cease
Prayer: In 2016, ask God to shut heaven up against every agents of enemy (sickness, all form of attack and challenges) that is planning or set against you and all your love.
Elisha prayed for his servant to see, ^“And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.  So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, and said, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness. And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.” (2 Kings 6:17-18)
In the New Year, to see open heaven direction is our victory in the coming days, weeks, months.
Prayer: In the year ask God for the grace of strength on the prayer alters.
Blindness shall answer for all enemies in our direction just like God blinded Elisha’s enemies.
In the year of truth God is the only shield and He shall be our shield upon us and love ones.
Psalmist testified, “…His truth shall be your shield and buckler.” (Psalm 91:4)
Prayer: Let us ask for His word to reign and rule in our life in the year.
Prayer: Let us ask Him to be our hiding place just as stated in Psalm 119:114, “You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.
Proverbs 2:5, “Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.”
Prayer: Ask for the fear of God to take over you so that understanding and knowledge of God shall lead you to walk worthy of God’s calling upon your life in Jesus name.
