He Always Lifts up the Standard!

Monday, 9th September, 2024

"So [as the result of the Messiah's intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives]." - Isaiah 59:19 AMPC

God has a clear design for your life, a sacred standard that outlines His best for you. Yet, the enemy relentlessly tries to sabotage this plan, tempting you to stray from God's will. Fear not! For you have a powerful support system: the Holy Spirit and the heavenly hosts are always ready to assist you.

Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and discouraged, maybe even like a failure. But I want you to remember that you haven't exhausted all options yet. Hold on to this truth: when the enemy attacks, the Holy Spirit will rise up and defend you. Face life's challenges with confidence, knowing that you have a powerful ally who will raise a standard against every obstacle and adversary.

As you head into this week, facing the same challenges - that job, school, business, or problem - remember to approach them with a newfound determination. Pray and declare, 'I'm coming at this again, but this time with a new standard, a higher standard of the Holy Ghost. I will emerge excellent and victorious in Jesus name!’

PRAYER:

Father, thank You for Your ever-present help. Thank You because nothing catches You by surprise, and that You already equipped me with tools for victory in everything I do. Holy Ghost, lift up a standard against everything that is against me. In Jesus name, amen.

Pray Against Things You Don’t Like

"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:" - Colossians 1:16 (KJV)

Consider the example of Sennacherib, the Assyrian king who proudly boasted about his military conquests and taunted King Hezekiah, but ultimately faced the power of God's intervention and was brought low.

When Hezekiah turned to God and prayed against the King of Assyria (Isaiah 54:16), God responded through prophet Isaiah that He had heard the prayers that he prayed against Sennacherib (verse 20). God went on in verse 35 of the same Chapter to smite Sennacherib and his camp in the middle of night giving Hezekiah the victory.

God knows when you pray against certain things, and such prayers arouse the anger of God. Aren't you tired of certain things? Pray in anger against those things and God with His wrath will come against them and free you.

PRAYER:

Father, I hate failure, I hate poverty, I hate lack, I hate disease and every infirmity. I do not like divorce, I hate depression, I hate anxiety and I hate stress. I hate misery but love joy, I want peace, prosperity and happiness. I don't want anything in my life that doesn't agree with who you are Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.

What do you have?

"And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not anything in the house, save a pot of oil." - 2 Kings 4:2 (KJV)

When God wants to prosper someone, He starts with the question, “What do you have?” This is the basic principle of prosperity. And it is exactly what the Spirit of the Lord is showing us in the opening verse.
Your assignment is, therefore, to discover and acknowledge what God has already given you and surrender it to Him to work with it. No one is a non-entity. We all have something special given by God.

You may not know how valuable it is or how far it can take you. You may look at it as if it is useless, but God will always start with what you have.

PRAYER:
Father, thank You for everything You have given to me- whether big or small. Open my eyes to realize the potential hidden in what You have given me. I surrender my gifts, talents, academic qualifications, and all I have to You. Work with them. I am ready to prosper in them all. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
