DAY 1:

The Joy of the Believer

The believer is not just a born-again person. He is, as well, a sold-out operator of the equipment called faith. He is like a flight captain (pilot), who is an ardent operator of the equipment called airplane.

The faith of the pilot in his flying equipment is so fanatic and stubborn that he never doubts the fact and the principles that he will take off and land without any hitches. This season, you will take off very well and you will land gloriously (in Jesus’s name) IJN.

By the reason of the anointing and the equipment of the Most High for answered prayers in my life, I pray for you that this time around, you will be upgraded as a believer in the name of Jesus.

There is a joy that awaits the believer in Christ Jesus, and it is the joy embedded in the promise of answers from the place of prayer. Let me quickly flash the truth that the Lord spoke to you several years ago in his Word when he says, if my people . . . 2 Chronicles 7:14.

If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statues and my judgments; Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel. (2 Chronicles 7:13–18 KJV)

Based on this, I enjoin us to enter this season of prayers with a flying belief (grade A faith) that we will surely land well in our destinations of testimonies IJN.

Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment [performance] of those things which were told her from the Lord. (Luke 1:39–45 NKJV)

Elizabeth spoke mysteries by divine unction, and that is a message of the season to all who believe in the efficacy of prayer today.

God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Numbers 23:19 KJV)

Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery? says the LORD. Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?" says your God. (Isaiah 66:9 NKJV)

Our selected scriptures for today’s prayer points reflect the audacity of a believer in Christ.

Let us pray:

1. Holy Spirit, help me to believe more than ever before IJN.

2. Lord Jesus, I believe, help my unbelief IJN.

So He asked his father, How long has this been happening to him? And he said, From childhood. And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us. Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help my unbelief! When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more! Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, He is dead. But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. (Mark 9:21–27 NKJV)

3. I decree and believe that every childhood sorrow and reproach will depart from me IJN.

4. I believe that every embarrassing door of problems in my life and family will be shut today IJN.

5. I believe that every door of sicknesses and diseases in my life and family will be shut today IJN.

6. I believe that everything that has taken me in and out and back and forth of trouble and pains will vanish out of my life, body, soul, spirit, and endeavors IJN.

7. I believe that your compassion will visit me and all that is mine right now IJN.

8. Almighty God, I believe that everything about me that has caused shame to my father, mother, and family will evaporate out of my agenda right now IJN.

9. Lord Jesus, I believe that you are rebuking every unclean spirit that has ever gained access into my territory to burn to ashes right now IJN.

10. Lord Jesus, I believe that you are raising up every good thing that has died in my life, and you are lifting them up for your glory again right now IJN.

11. Almighty God, according to your Word, lift me up, wake me up, and let me arise IJN.

For the scripture says, Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame (Romans 10:11 NKJV).

12. Almighty God, I believe strongly in you; let me not be put to shame in all my endeavors IJN.

13. Daddy, in my walk and work with you and for you this year, let me not be put to shame IJN.

14. List the other areas of your life you are praying against shame and pray IJN.

Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? (John 11:39–40 KJV)

15. Almighty God, I believe; therefore, let me see your glory and power this season and always IJN.

16. Father, even upon the already stinking issues of my life, let your glory boom out IJN.

17. I receive that there is someone who counsels others in marriage, yet your own marriage is secretly stinking. I want you to pray, and let us pray for them that every marriage that is stinking at this time, but connected to this prayer rain, will receive the glory of God IJN.

18. Almighty God, I believe; let there be a solution to all my four-day problems, four-week problems, forty-day problems, four-month problems, four-year problems, and forty-year problems IJN.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6 KJV)

19. Lord God Almighty, I believe that you are there and able to do wonders; therefore, override men, managers, and supervisors to reward me IJN.

20. Father, look into your own records and files and reward me IJN.

21. Father, look into your treasure-house and your barns of joy and reward me now IJN.

So Jesus answered and said to them, Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. (Mark 11:22–24 NKJV)

22. I believe, O Lord, and I say every mountain of failure have been removed from my ways IJN.

23. I say that everything that I have desired for myself, ministry, and my family this season have been done already in the spirit realm IJN.

24. I say and I believe that all that I have desired and prayed for my adversaries today will manifest as testimonies IJN.

25. I say and I believe that I will sing a new song and be established in my higher places IJN.

DAY 2:

The Joy of the Faithful

And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. And they said, Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the Lord heard it. (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) And the Lord spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out. And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed. And
