Day 4 of 21 days of breaking Limits:
Joshua 14:4-15 KJV] “For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in , with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance. [5] As the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land. [6] Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the Lord said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea. [7] Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart. [8] Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the Lord my God. [9] And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children’s for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the Lord my God. [10] And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the Lord spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old. [11] As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in. [12] Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the Lord said. [13] And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance. [14] Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel. [15] And the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war”.
This is the day and the time. Like Caleb, we will leave no promise in limbo. This is the time to claim the fulfilment of every promise and word that we have received from the Lord. Every single word that has been declared over our lives must be fulfilled in its season. Caleb received the word when he was 40 years, and we see him fighting for the promise to be fulfilled even after 40 years; he fought to establish the promise when he was 80 years old.
I don’t know what God has declared to you, but it is time for God to fulfil His word in your life. We are believing God for His word concerning us to be fulfilled. On this day of our waiting on God, we want to recount all the promises and word that we have received from the Lord and to demand its fulfilment. Just as Caleb demanded the fulfilment of the good word of the Lord, we also want to spend today praying for the fulfilment of the word.
We are not taking the easy way out; we are going for the word. We want to see the Scriptures fulfilled in our lives. When Daniel read about the deliverance of Israel in the book of Jeremiah, he began to fast and pray.
This is our time to fast and pray and demand the fulfilment of the word of God. This is the time; we can do as Daniel did and change the cause of history.
[Daniel 9:1-9 KJV] “In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; [2] In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. [3] And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: [4] And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; [5] We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: [6] Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. [7] O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. [8] O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. [9] To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;”
Daniel fasted and prayed and things began to change. As we fast and pray, guided by Mark 4, we understand by the parable of the sower to know what to do.
We understand that there cannot be fruits without a seed. We therefore need a seed bearing sower in our lives; hence let’s pray the following prayers:
#1.
Dear God, send me Apollos (prophets and ministers) who will water the truth that my pastor has planted in my life. Send me, your sowers and gardeners. Father, sow and water your word in my life.
#2.
Help us to understand and mix the word with faith for maximum profit.
[Hebrews 4:1-2 KJV] “Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. [2] For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it”.
I declare that no bird can steal the word from my life. The seed of God’s word in my life is secured and protected. I rebuke any bird or demonic agent assigned against my life because of the word, in the name of Jesus Christ!
#3.
Holy Spirit, let Your word to gain roots in me. Let me be watered and moistened for deeper roots. I don’t want to wither and dry up. Holy Spirit water this word in my life. Oh Lord, let your rains fall! Send us rain and let our ground be ready to yield.
#4.
I break up my fallow ground, I deal with thorns in my heart; The pride of life, anxiety, lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, lust for other things, and cares of life. Father, remove pride, lust, anxiety, and cares, far from me because I know that you will not despise a broken spirit and a contrite heart.
#5.
Father, give me an honest and a good heart to nurture any word I receive. Give me strength and courage. Give me the Spirit of love and of power and of a sound mind. Thank you Lord!
#6.
Dear Lord, I ask that you shall remover from my life that things that prevent my truthfulness! May you supply all that pertains to life and godliness. I give you full control as the gardener, dig and dung around me.
#7.
Rain upon us! Let the Spirit be poured from on high. As we wait on you oh Lord, let Your rain fall! Help your children now!
#8.
Dear Lord, watch over Your word to perform! Hasten the manifestation of Your word in its time! Let our bones hear the sound of rain again! Watch over your word to perform!
I speak the manifestation of the word of God over your life! I pray that God will bless what you hear from His word weekly! Let the word of God be manifested one more time!
Be blessed; I love you!
