Nigeria: A Cry for Kingdom Eunuchs

Join This HeartCry Prayer- Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11.30am -1.30pm (UK Time)

Esther 2:1-20 NKJV

• Is the promised revival on hold for lack of Mordecai’s and Hegai’s?

• Can God totally rely on; trust in and commit to you His bride?

• Is your tireless labour ONLY to make fit the KING’s bride?

• How have/are you handling the lives committed to your care?

Prayer Points

• Beg the Lord to consider you and make you a eunuch for the sake of the Gospel and kingdom.

• Plead for great grace to receive this level of consecration to be a eunuch for the kingdom.

• A consecration that puts to death your vision; your ambition; your appetite; your strength; your will; self; selfishness; pride e.t.c.

• Receive grace to prepare the Lord’s bride for her HUSBAND, i.e. CHRIST.

• Ask the Holy Spirit to help you so that you will never touch God’s glory.

• Pray for great grace that enables more disciples to receive the level of consecration to become eunuchs for the kingdom. Lord of the harvest, please raise more Mordecai’s and Hegai’s in Nigeria.

• Let these men and women (eunuchs for the Gospel’s sake) cover EVERY state in Nigeria. Post them into ALL sectors – political, education, health, commerce e.t.c.

• Let them be men and women whose ONLY ambition is to prepare the Lord’s bride for her HUSBAND; men and women who will spend and be spent so that the glory of the Church will burst forth; men and women who will never violate or abuse the Lord’s bride; men and women who are happy to be nameless so that Christ is seen, heard and known. Notwithstanding their own challenges, will rather die at their duty post than make room for themselves.

Nigeria: Why Do the Nations Rage?

Join This HeartCry Prayer- Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11.30am -1.30pm (UK Time)

Engaging God for Nigeria

• Our Lord Jesus taught us to pray – “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” and that is why we are here.
• We want to engage God concerning the critical situations in Nigeria today.
• Engage means - to occupy or attract someone’s interest or attention.
• Only those who have come into Christ by the blood and stay inside Him by the cross are able to engage God. Only those who have a right standing with God are able to engage Him.We must pray for ourselves concerning our connection with God through the cross of Christ.  We want it to be a strong connection that is engaged with our prayers for Nigeria.
• We are seeking God’s attention.

Prayer Points: For Ourselves

“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are loyal to Him.”  (2 Chronicles 16:9)

•  Lord, I are here! Please let Your eyes locate me. I want to have Your precious attention and engage You through prayers. I want to secure Your gaze.  Lord, I plead with You - look upon me in Your mercy.

• Your eyes are going to and fro the earth, because there is something You are searching for. Please Lord, help my heart to be loyal to You . Help me to know that it is a ‘holy search’ for people You want to engage in  ‘holy business’ in our generation.

• When the fire of trials and tribulations come, let me be found loyal still. I want You to show Yourself strong on my behalf. Fill Your Spirit and so that I do not slack in my connection to You through the cross of Christ.

• Lord, You have worked upon our lives and revealed the mystery of the gospel in us. Why? So that we will be awake to our responsibility in You and arise to pray down  the will of God in heaven.

• Lord, help me to know my responsibility - my responsibility to expand the frontiers of the kingdom of God while there is still breath in me.  Those in the grave cannot engage God in prayer. Help me to stand in prayer concerning the increase of Your kingdom.  

• Put Your burden into my heart for Nigeria, O Lord! I want it would be a heart cry. I have been given the responsibility to gain understanding of the issues plaguing Nigeria and carry them nation on my heart. I can’t carry on as though it has nothing to do with me. Help me to be concerned with what You are concerned about in Nigeria. Help me to cry for the wickedness and terrible atrocities going on there.

• Please cause Your burden for Nigeria to grow for each one of us on Monday HeartCry as we grow in knowledge of Your divine expectation. We want our prayers to be fervent.

• Please make us tenacious  in prayer - to  pray and pray and pray until something happens, not just when we are on the prayer platform but also in our closets. Do not allow us to be casual or complacent concerning the situation in Nigeria and what You are doing about it.  

• This is the Word of the Lord to us:

“You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. ¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. ¹⁶ You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.” John 15:14-16 (NKJV)

Fulani Herdsmen Crisis

The Fulani Herdsmen crisis one of the major issues in Nigeria at the moment. 

It is enough for us to know that these herdsmen have been set on fire by hell to destroy the purpose of God in Nigeria.

One of the ways to catch a burden is through reports. The Holy Spirit will us have insight into the circumstances reported so that we can engage God on them.

Understanding the Fulani Herdsmen Crisis in Nigeria

Excerpt from: http://venturesafrica.com/understanding-the-fulani-herdsmen-crisis-in-nigeria-what-you-need-to-know/

The Fulani Herdsmen crisis remains a major issue in Nigeria. So far, thousands have been killed and many more have been expelled from their homes, and the Nigerian government does not appear willing to initiate any forceful action against them. Rather, they are requesting for pieces of land from states in order to provide the rampaging herdsmen with permanent feeding ground.

Who are the Fulani Herdsmen?

They are largely nomads who go through towns with their cattle. In Nigeria, the Fulani and the Hausa people dominate the northern states, with a population of well over 30 million. Notably, people of the Fulani tribe rarely ever use artificial birth control methods and, as a result of this, the tribe is very fertile, hence their vast population and their presence in almost every state across the country.

Why are they violent?

Due to the peculiarity of the activities of the herdsmen, they move from one place to another in search of pasture. In this process, the herdsmen have reportedly encountered cattle rustlers and made complaints to the relevant authorities who fail to investigate the issue, hence their purported reason for carrying arms about. During their journey, they frequently trespass farmlands owned by locals in their host communities, destroying crops and valuables. Attempts by farmers to prevent them from causing havoc are met with stiff and violent resistance. Most times, the farmers are overpowered, injured and killed, while others are evicted from their homes. Sometimes, the herdsmen are accused of taking these opportunities to steal, rape, raze houses and kill innocent members of the communities they pass through.

Responses from various stakeholders

Many Nigerians believe the president has deliberately shied away from commenting on the crisis, as it is widely known that he comes from the Fulani ethnic group. The inability of the Nigerian Police to contain them may spell greater doom for lives in susceptible areas.

_____________

The question is this - “Why are they violent?”

The nation of Fulani herdsmen is very large - all of them currently roaming around with an agenda to wipe out the purpose of God in Nigeria, in the guise of vengeance for cattle rustling

Psalm 2:1 - “Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing?” (NKJV)

“What fools the nations are to rage against the Lord! How strange that men should try to outwit God!” (TLB)

Psalm 2:2-8

The kings of the earth set themselves,

And the rulers take counsel together,

Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,

“Let us break Their bonds in pieces

And cast away Their cords from us.”

He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;

The Lord shall hold them in derision.

Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,

And distress them in His deep displeasure:

“Yet I have set My King

On My holy hill of Zion.”

I will declare the decree:

The Lord has said to Me,

‘You     are My Son,

Today I have begotten You.

Ask of Me, and I will give You

The nations for Your inheritance,

And the ends of the earth for Your possession.

The Lord sits in the heavens and laughs. He is not perturbed about the crisis in Nigeria. He is not running around looking for a solution. He is amused at their folly, because He has already made His Son JESUS both Lord and Christ.

Those who have right standing with God; those who have exchanged their old life for the righteous life of Christ, can now come confidently to Him with much assurance to ask for the salvation of this raging nation of Fulani herdsmen. This is God’s divine expectation. May His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Prayer Points: Ask of Me

•  O Lord, You are God. Heaven is Your throne and earth is Your footstool.  You have said to Your Son: “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” Psalm 110:1. Lord, Jesus, we call upon You. You have authority on earth to compel Your enemies to their knees.  

• Lord, see the trail of destruction that is brought upon the nation of Nigeria – When You have suffered on the cross for all, including the nation of the Fulani Herdsmen.  Lord, You will see the travail of Your soul concerning them and be satisfied. “The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.” Psalm 11:10. Please look upon the treats of the Fulani herdsmen and bring their counsel to nothing. Forbid them from continuing to perpetrate their wickedness all over Nigeria. O Lord, frustrate all their evil plans; incapacitate them, O God.

• We agree with You that the purpose of God will be established in their midst. Bring to pass, Your determined counsel concerning each one of them.
• “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Lord, let all the Fulani herdsmen know assuredly that You are the Lord and You are the Christ. Open our eyes to see that they have all been included in the crucified.

• “For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.” Romans 14:11. Lord, we humbly ask of You to bring the nation of the Fulani herdsmen to their knees.  How you will do it, we don’t know. But we bring them before you as our responsibility. Stop them in their tracks and send forth Your Word to them to deliver them from the hand of the enemy of their souls.  

Fulani Ministries

Fulani ministries reach out to other Fulani people with the Gospel of Christ across Africa.”The Fulani people are the largest unreached people group in the world. Over 99% have not had the chance to hear the Gospel for the first time. http://www.fulaniministries.org

"Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. ² For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. ³ The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising." Isaiah 60: 1-3

Prayer Points:  Fulani Ministries

• Thank the Lord for this ministry; thank the Lord for reserving His remnants among the Fulani people; Thank the Lord for these Fulani Christians who have arisen in their day to confront the darkness in their land.

• Let us ask the Lord to make them effective in their vision and mission to reach the Fulani people with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

• Let us ask the Lord to fill His Fulani kingdom labourers with His Spirit and help them to arise and shine for His cause as they go from place to place to locate the Fulanis across Africa.

• “The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” Isaiah 60:3. O Lord! Let Your Kingdom be established among the Fulani people; Please grant that families will come to the light of the glorious gospel through this Fulani ministry. Please grant that many Fulani herdsmen will come to You.

• Let us declare the promise of God concerning them from Isaiah 60:22 - A little one among the Fulani people will become a thousand and a small one a great nation. You, the Lord will hasten it in its time. Amen.

Europe: A Little One Shall Become a Thousand - Divine Mercy

Join This HeartCry Prayer- Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11.30am -1.30pm (UK Time)

Isaiah 60:22

“A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in its time.”

Zachariah 4:6

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. 

Luke 1:23-38

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.  

Divine Mercy

Romans 9:16

So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. KJV

So God will choose anyone he decides to show mercy to, and His choice does not depend on what people want or try to do. ERV

And so God’s blessings are not given just because someone decides to have them or works hard to get them. They are given because God takes pity on those He wants to. TLB

Is that grounds for complaining that God is unfair? Not so fast, please. God told Moses, “I’m in charge of mercy. I’m in charge of compassion.” Compassion doesn’t originate in our bleeding hearts or moral sweat but in God’s mercy. MSG

It is obviously not a question of human will or human effort, but of divine mercy. PHILLIPS

God must show us mercy.

• I will make you a thousand, not because you are willing.
• I will make you a strong nation not because you are ready to run.
• I will make you a thousand, not because you are praying and crying on HeartCry, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
• I will only make you a thousand when I show you mercy.

Who does God show mercy though?

• A man who is already strong cannot become a strong nation.
• A man who is resourceful in himself, who still has his legs cannot become a thousand.
• Such a man is already full; he is already a thousand in his own sight.
• There is nothing you and I have that will qualify us or attract God to us; NOTHING. We are dust and we should eat the dust before Him.
• All we have and possess are actually the things that scare God away from us.
• Though we have come to Calvary, though dead works have been buried and are still being buried, though we have drunk the New Wine and are still drinking, if the Lord does not show us mercy, this declaration will become a mere slogan.

Low Estate, Low Degree, Hungry Little One

Luke 1:47-48, 51-52 KJV

And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy...

• Not the importance estate, high status, culture and education of His handmaiden
• The proud has no portion in this; the proud one will be scattered and cannot become a nation.
• Nor the satisfied, the fulfilled, the self–sufficient, independent, self-righteous, over confident.
• God cannot multiply the life that is not in low estate; it is the life that Satan exhibited in heaven that made the angels throw him out forever.
• What God can multiply and expand and grow by the Holy Ghost is that one of extremely low degree, those who are hungry.
• God can only multiply littleness; He cannot multiply greatness, He cannot feed those who are already full.
• God can only show mercy to the man who is already down and out, who is at the end of himself, the end of his wisdom, the end of my organisation, the end of his calculation and his manipulation. He who is of low estate. 

Prayer Points: Keep in the ICU of Mercy

• Make me a man that is helpless to the point that You will have mercy on me.
• Make me an object of Your mercy, O Lord; put me in the intensive care unit of Your mercy.
• Do not let me graduate from the class of low estate; Do not let me graduate from the class of nothingness; do not let me graduate from littleness.
• Lord, bring me down so that You can find in me a little one that You can multiply.
• Cripple me until I know that if God does not help me, I am not helped.
• Lord, make me remain little; not for a while, but for the whole time I will be on this side of eternity.
• Lord, keep me in the intensive care unit of mercy so that I will not change my status from little to big.
• Please do not let me experience any promotion that will take me away from that class of men and women that God can help. 
• Lord, let me be famished and hungry; let me starve for You. Increase my appetite and let me never be satisfied.
• Take away any attraction that attracts men to me; block their eyes; let men forget me so that You may remember me.

Look upon me O Lord and be merciful unto me,

As Thou useth to do unto those who trust Your name.

Look upon me O Lord and be merciful unto me,

As Thou useth to do unto those who trust Your name.

Joshua, the Little One Who Became a Thousand

Joshua 5:13- 15

And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 

And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 

And the captain of the Lord’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

The Commander is Here; Take Off Your Shoes

• The Commander of the Lord’s army is here. God has opened this day for us, and there are many lands to conquer; many battles to fight in order to repossess what the enemy has stolen.
• Ordinary bullets of the Word of God cannot penetrate the thick wickedness in our generation.
• No one can penetrate and establish the kingdom of God if the Commander of the Lord’s army does not help us.
• Yes, we have fought battles while in the wilderness, battles for passage.
• Now we are about to enter the battles for possessions, battles that if you will and conquer, it will be recorded against your little name; against your small family in heaven.
• The Holy Ghost has come and the first instruction is ‘OFF YOUR SHOES’.
• Circumcised, yes. But your shoes are still on.
• The Commander is here with divine strategies but if He meets you with your shoes on, He will jump over you.
• We may not need to shoot any arrow when the Commander takes over and instructs us.

What Are These Shoes?

Shoes of intelligence and skill in living and in serving God

• Remember, when Joshua started, he was with Moses whose shoes were off and what a revival Moses brought. The revival that left Egypt on its knees.
• Moses was now dead and Joshua now had to take off his own shoes;  he was already wearing the shoes of his strategies as a man of war.
• This battle cannot be won by skills and intelligence. The world’s skills and intelligence are no match for ours.
• There are barriers that will not give way to your intelligence.
• Our intelligence HQ is with the Holy Ghost, not our skills, understanding, knowledge.
• Only a man whose shoes are off can receive the strategies and intelligence from the Holy Ghost.

 Shoes of self-confidence, smartness, oratory skills, riches, natural wisdom

• Jacob was intelligent; he always knew what to do; he always devises his own way.
• If God does not help us, we will fall in the battlefield.
• We cannot enter into God’s blessings if we do not take off our shoes.

Shoes of unbelief in the word,  the ability and the methodology of GOD

• Naaman said, “I thought the man would come out and strike and heal the disease.”
• Unbelief will not let you see the strategy of God for winning your battles.
• Report at the feet of the Commander of the Lord’s army.

Shoes of past/or present experience, assessment and judgement

• You cannot enter with your own personal ways, your nature. These are not matters of sin but they are the instrument of Mr. Flesh.

Shoes of self-righteousness, education, prowess, ability, money, wealth

• They are filthy rags; they are dry cisterns that hold no water.
• What are the shoes that I climb with whenever there is a difficulty?

What are the shoes that I quickly put on when battles confront me?

• They must be permanently off. Joshua, although he took off his shoes for the battle of Jericho, he put them back on again for Ai and suffered for it.
• We have been going round in circles in the wilderness because of these shoes and they have not helped us.
• After Joshua removed his shoes, Chapter 6 opened with a great plan given by the master strategist, the Commander of the Lord’s army.
• If we do not remove these shoes, we will perish in the wilderness and the unconquered lands that we ought to enter to become a thousand will be left in the hands of the enemy.

God Is Not Interested the Legs of a Man

Psalm 147:10-11

He delighted not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear Him,
in those that hope in His mercy.KJV

He’s not impressed with horsepower; the size of our muscles means little to him. Those who fear God get God’s attention; they can depend on his strength. MSG

The speed of a horse is nothing to him. How puny in his sight is the strength of a man. But his joy is in those who reverence him, those who expect him to be loving and kind. TLB

God doesn’t prize the strength of a horse; God doesn’t treasure the legs of a runner. No. The Lord treasures the people who honour him, the people who wait for his faithful love. CEB

The Lord doesn’t care about the strength of horses or powerful armies. The Lord is pleased only with those who worship him and trust his love. CEV

Prayer Points: Take off your shoes

• Mention all the shoes you normally use one by one, before the Lord today.
• Identify them and list them before the Lord and beg Him, Lord take away these shoes from me, O Lord. It is time to enter the land the Lord has promised. I take off these shoes before you today.
• Lord, please do not let me take up these shoes and wear them again.
• As I have taken them off, please do not let me go back and wear them again.
• Dear Holy Spirit, do not leave me alone. Whenever I want to take up these shoes again, please do not leave me alone, pester me, constrain me, grant me no peace, point it out to me, saying, “You are putting on your old shoe, drop it NOW!”
• Do not allow me to perish in this wilderness; my territory is waiting unconquered; those who are to become a great nation are perishing while I am her stuck to these shoes. Take away these shoes, O Lord.
• I surrender my natural strength, my riches and my knowledge. Lord, I off my shoes.
• Do not let me die fighting with the wrong methods; fighting battles over my children, over my family, over my life with fleshy ideas and losing the battle.
• Lord, have mercy on me. Take away these shoes. I beg You in the name of Jesus.
• Lord, I report at the feet of the Holy Ghost. Lord, I am waiting for the instructions in your mouth.
• It has become a reflect, Lord, take away these shoes, is surrender my energy, my strength, my human wisdom, I surrender them all.
• Holy Spirit, please don’t jump over me; please take over, Holy Ghost, please take over, now, even right now, please take over my life, take over.
• Every shoe of argument with the Captain, Lord I take them off today.
• Do not allow us to fall by the sword of the enemy, please take over, do not let our carcass fall in the wilderness.

Paul’s heart cry: Romans 10:1-4 

Romans 10: 1- 4 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Prayer Points

•  We pray for the salvation of Israelis. Open the eyes of their heart to see, love and follow JESUS. Tear of every veil that blinds them from seeing the Man of Calvary.

• Romans 10:1-4 Cause all Israelis to submit to the righteousness of God and not seek to establish their own righteousness.

• Lord, You will not continue to mourn and lament over Isreal; You will see the travail of Your Son Jesus over all nations and be satisfied. 

Nations Against Israel

Joel 3:1-2 For behold, in those days and at that time, When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.

Zechariah 12:3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.

Zechariah 12:9 It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

• Lord, wake up all the sleeping elders and Elishas at rest in Zion whilst famine of righteousness ravages the nations. 2 Kings 6:32

• Look down on all your beloved whose national leaders have partnered against Your heritage Israel and be merciful unto us. Ps 119:132

• Awake the church of the living God; cause us again to be the pillar and ground of truth. 1 Tim 3:15

Believers  - Matthew 24 

Vs. 4  Take heed... pay attention, give notice to your heart, to your soul.

Vs.12 Has your love {for Christ} waxed cold?

Vs.13 But he that endures to the end shall be saved... not he that starts well or in the middle.{ Grace, thy grace alone}

Vs. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come...What are you living for? Are you a bearer of this Gospel of the kingdom? What has preoccupied your heart, time, resources and talents?

Acts 1:8 Plead with God for yet another outpouring and baptism of the Holy Spirit upon you.

Europe: A Little One Shall Become a Thousand - A Divine Announcement

Join This HeartCry Prayer- Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11.30am -1.30pm (UK Time)

Isaiah 60:22

“A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in its time.”

Zachariah 4:6

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”

Luke 1:23-38

“And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.”

• The Lord has spoken. He has declared His intention for us, for the church, for the nations and for everyone within our sphere of influence.

• God is not a talkative. He is not a casual speaker. When God speaks, it is because He has already initiated the project and has put all He requires in place in order to bring His Word to pass.

• It is a divine announcement, a divine proclamation, a divine pronouncement, a divine broadcast.

• He does not say these things to tickle our ears. His Word is totally reliable.

•  It is massive and mind boggling. What God is saying is beyond our human imagination or ability to comprehend - "A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation."

How will these things be?

•  It is not going to be by might, or by power. It is going to be by His own Spirit, says the Lord.

•  It is not going to be by my preparation, my plans, my knowledge, my ability or my arrangements.

• It is not going to be by organisational structures and strategies, administrative prowess and plans or managerial policies and schemes.

• It is going to be by the presence, the utterance and the power of the Holy Ghost.

• It is going to be a ‘one person show’ –  the Holy Ghost’s show.

•  The execution will be ‘single handedly’ by the Holy Ghost – executor of God’s purpose on earth.

• I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.

What am I to do then?

• Declare - “Be it unto me according to Your Word.” FULL STOP.
• Only believe, yes, only believe. Just believe.
• The how, where, what, when are determined by the Holy Ghost.
• Brethren, it is not going to be by our prayers, yet we must pray.
• Brethren, it is not going to be by our preaching, yet we must preach.
• Brethren, it is not going to be by our fasting, yet we must fast.
• Brethren, it is not going to be by our going into the field, yet we must go.
• But it will not be us. It will be Christ doing all these inside the carcass of my body by the Holy Ghost.

So what am I to do? Nothing! Only believe, but it can only come to pass for ‘a little one’.

Who is this little one that will become a thousand?

Isaiah 60:22

• “A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time.” KJV

• “The smallest one will become a thousand (a clan), And the least one a mighty nation. I, the Lord, will quicken it in its [appointed] time.” AMP 

• “Even the smallest family will be a powerful nation. I am the Lord, and when the time comes, I will quickly do all this.” CEV

• “The runt will become a great tribe, the weakling become a strong nation. I am God. At the right time I’ll make it happen.” MSG

• “The smallest family shall multiply into a clan; the tiny group shall be a mighty nation. I, the Lord, will bring it all to pass when it is time.” TLB

• “Just watch, they will develop robustly; from so small a beginning, they will multiply and become a mighty nation. I, the Eternal One, will make it happen soon.” VOICE

Who is this little one that will become a thousand?

• We are not praying for a little one somewhere. We are not praying for a small, weak, humble family or group somewhere.

• We are the little ones God is talking about. We are the ones who will become a strong nation in Europe.

• You sister/brother; you are the little one God is making this announcement to.

• Your own nuclear family is the runt, the smallest family that God is talking about, not another family, not your friends or your Pastor’s or your leader’s family.

• It is you and I that God is talking about. My husband and your husband, my son and you son, my daughter and your daughter. We are the ones God is talking about.

• Please note that a little one cannot become a thousand by itself. There must be a divine input and multiplication.

•  Who is this little one that God is attracted to, the one that God can turn His eyes to see, the one that the God can break up, and sow out and multiply to become a nation?

• Please note that what makes a difference in any man’s life is the favour of the Lord upon Him. If God does not show mercy upon a man, he will forever remain a little one.  This word that God has declared will come and go and at the end of the year this man will still be small, weak and he would have even depreciated.

• THANK GOD! There is a divine direction and divine instructions about this man by the Holy Ghost.

Isaiah 66:1-2

• “Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.”

• “I will pay attention to those who are humble and sorry for their sins and who tremble at my word.” GW

• “The people I treasure most are the humble – they depend only on me and tremble when I speak.” CEV

• “But there is something I’m looking for: a person simple and plain, reverently responsive to what I say.” MSG

• “These are the people I am pleased with. They are those who are not proud or stubborn. They fear me and obey me.” ICB

• “But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard: he who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit, and who trembles at My word and reveres My commands.”  AMPC

Prayer Points: Reduce Me to Nothing

• Help me with eye salve; rub your ointment upon my eyes so I can see myself the way you see me.

• Let me see my deep spiritual need and helplessness, even though I have been to Calvary.

• Lord, let me become little in my own eyes; little, of no consequence, unimportant, insignificant.

• Lord, let me become little in my experience, in my ability, in my understanding, in my strength, in my so-called knowledge.

• O God, disable me permanently; immobilise me; put me out of action. Bring me to the end of my rope in every area of my life.

•  Break my hip bone; break all my legs, break all that will not allow You space to do as You please in my life.

• Holy Ghost, in this Your season, begin to dig up and point out every area of strength in my life that is not from You – the things and the people I depend on instead of You.

• Shatter them, O Lord, break them up and reduce me to nothing, O Lord. Wreck me; finish me completely.

• Evacuate my cleverness, intelligence, acumen, aptitude, skills and ability so that You can have a man that You can multiply.

• Show me Yourself, Holy Ghost, so that I can fall down and position myself correctly before You with my face to the dust even though I have been to Calvary, even though I am a disciple indeed.

• Don’t let me rate myself as being significant or higher than I ought to.

• Let me rate myself as insignificant , irrelevant, immaterial, inconsequential, trivial and minor compared to everybody else from now on and throughout my life, even when great things begin to happen in me and through me.
