DAY 20: FRIDAY 21ST JANUARY, 2022
FOCUS: DIVINE VISITATION FOR A CONTINUOUS MANIFESTATION OF GOD'S PRESENCE IN OUR LIVES, HOMES AND ASSEMBLIES
TEXT: EXODUS 33:15
INSPIRATIONAL WORDS FOR EFFECTIVE AND FERVENT PRAYERS
Moses in Exodus 33:15 knew the importance of such. He thus felt they would live a life of defeat if they walked without God’s presence. Thus he told God that they would only wish to leave the place they were in if God’s presence would be with them. Jesus also said in John 15 that we could only bear fruit if we abide in Him (v4).
The Psalmist longed and thirsted for God’s presence (Ps 42). If there is one place that Isaiah got transformed completely and set him on the sincere path of serving God, then it was when he came to God’s presence. His sins were exposed; he felt so dirty and cried out for God’s mercy to change him. God touched him with a live coal and he was able to change.
What benefits do we get from His presence? As we behold the fiery eyes of Jesus in his presence, the Holy Spirit transforms us from one glory to another. In God’s presence, we receive mercy, healing, revelation of our sins; purging of our sins, joy, favour, honour, glory and protection from the wicked; evil tongues among many others.
I pray that every GOFAMINT member will thirst and hunger for this.
Let us cry in this prayer like the Psalmist did in Psalm 51:10-13:
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
Hunger is a sign of life in a believer. One of the first symptoms of illness is the loss of appetite. When hunger is gone, a person is increasingly open to more sicknesses and weaknesses. Real believers are hungry, and that hunger is placed in their hearts by the Lord Himself, drawing them into His presence.
LET US PRAY
1. Lord, visit the foundation of my life and turn my bitterness to joy today in Jesus Name.
2. Let my life, family, business, and church experience divine visitation in Jesus Name.
3. I receive a visit that will change the story of my life for better in the name of Jesus.
4. I shall be visited by God and I shall be lifted in the name of Jesus
5. Oh Lord, visit all our assemblies for Divine turn around.
6. We seek your presence, O Lord my God, in our lives, homes and assemblies.
7. Create in us a hunger to be where you are always
8. I receive grace to walk with you in your presence, may I never walk alone in life
9. Reveal my hidden sin o Lord, grant me a repentant heart.
10. I repent of every sin ….. mention them. Wash me, forgive me and purge me in your presence, o my God.
11. Let me find joy, love peace, rest, direction, favour and strength in your presence.
12. Show me the path of life o Lord in Jesus name
13. I abide in the secret place of your presence and I will be protected from the plots of my enemies. Hide me secretly in your pavilion from the tongues of men.
14. Do not cast me away from your presence, o Lord I beseech you; and do not take away your Spirit from me.
15. Let every mountain in my life, family, church, place of work etc break into pieces in your presence.
16. Let the wicked who pursue, surround, stand against or even rise against me stumble and fall in your presence in Jesus name.
17Oh Lord let your presence make me whole. Let your Spirit transform me from glory to glory in Jesus name. Let me live, bear fruits and serve you in your presence always.
18 Let our families and homes begin to enjoy the tangible manifestation of God’s presence from now on, and let it change the spiritual climate of our churches as in the times of the early apostles.
