Week 6: Our Personal Lives and Ministries (Purpose)
Monday 18 March – Our Purpose – Assignment 1
Intro: God put all of us on earth for a purpose. We are all saved for a unique assignment. He has a mission tailor-made for each one of us. No one is here to make up numbers or to just populate the planet. We are all here for a specific job, an exclusive, bespoke Journey mapped out by God for each one of us; not all of us will be in full-time ministry, and not everyone will have a pulpit ministry, but we all have a ministry designated by God for each of us, It may be in the Market place like Goldman Sacs or even in a school as a teacher or in the hospital as a nurse or doctor.
Our assignment is to reach and establish souls for Christ and make disciples of all nations, regardless of the platform from which we do this.
However, just because God has a unique plan for a human being does not mean they will fulfil it; what prayer does is bring us into alignment with his plan and arrange all the resources we need to fulfil that assignment. He brings all the resources across our path to fulfil our assignment and purpose. These include resources and human helpers in the form of catalysts, navigators, and accelerators. Our prayers align all we need to fulfil our destiny. It creates efficiencies on the journey and brings all the facilitators together.
We are on different journeys, and some are already accomplishing, and some are just starting. Wherever we are on this Journey, the Spirit of God will help us tonight as we pray into the Grace for maximum accomplishment, strength, and resources to fulfil our mandate.

Tuesday 19 March – Our Purpose – Assignment 2
Intro: We are here on planet earth now at this time for a supernatural assignment . There is a reason we were released in this generation and in this season not some 100 years ago.
We like Esther are Royalty (1 Peter 2:9), to set the course of our families, churches, communities, cities, and nations.
God did not take us to heaven when we got born again because he wants to occupy until he comes. We continue to maintain and subdue the earth; we continue to enforce the finished works of Christ until our master returns. We are the occupying army.
A people that will change the trajectory of status quo. We the church are for signs and wonders. We are Gods mouthpiece and his ambassadors.
We are the end time church, and the plan of God is for us to be the light of the world and the city that cannot be covered but visible Matthew 5:14. A people that provide direction and navigation in a struggling world. We are the salt to bring savour and preservation to a decadent fallen world.
God gave us gifts and Talents to impact our world. Tonight, we will stir up our gifts in prayer and activate every dormant gifts. We will pray for the grace to take up our positions without timidity or fear.

Wednesday 20 March – Remove Every Containment – 1
For the last 2 days we have prayed into our callings and assignments. Gods plan is that we fulfil our purpose with ease. However, we find out that people can be faced with challenges that may want to frustrate and limit the assignment.
Tonight, we will be praying against all confinements, containments, limitations and restrictions targeted to impede us from rising to our God ordained positions.
There are often limitations in the life of a believer that can impede them from rising to their highest potential. Tonight, we will address mental (natural) limitations, and tomorrow, we will address spiritual Limitations. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. We cannot rise above our mindset or thinking (Prov 23:7a).
The Israelites said they were like grasshoppers, so it was a mental hindrance. However, hindrances can also be spiritual – Paul said he had an open door, but there were many adversaries (1 Cor 16:9), and Paul wrote to Timothy about those who withstood Moses on his assignment in Egypt (2 Timothy 3:8).
Today, we will address mental or mental limitations. By the help of the Holy Spirit, we stand and address every negative & limiting mindset, mind blockage, mind dullness and mind blindness, and small thinking.
We have the ability to step out without fear, inhibitions, or anxiety. We have the mind of Christ and have access to all the resources of heaven.
Tonight, we will address every form of fear (conscious or unconscious) that causes timidity, fear of failure, and fear of lack. We pray liberty of thinking tonight—a free mind, a sound and uncontained mind that thinks like our Lord Jesus.

Thursday 21 March – Remove Every Containment – 2
There are often spiritual limitations in the life of a believer that can impede them from rising to their highest potentials. There are mental and spiritual impediments that can restrict advancements. Yesterday we prayed about mental limitations, today we will address spiritual limitations.
We will speak against Yokes that keep people small. Yokes of family limitations, Career limitations, financial limitations, ministerial limitations, marital limitations. Yokes that limit human potential.
Isaac told his son Esau that he could break off the yoke of servanthood/subservient when he gained dominion/mastery and became restless (Genesis 27:40 KJV | NASB)
One of the ministries of the anointing of God is to destroy yokes (Isaiah 10:27). Yokes prevent people from going in the right direction. It can slow down, delay and even limits the progress of a believers. It can eventually cause one not to fulfil their God ordained destiny.
Tonight, we must pray a bit aggressively against any form of yoke, restriction, embargo, stagnation, and regression. We will dislodge every delay with our prayers. We will give speed to our assignments, ministries, businesses, and all that concerns us.
We will displace oppositions, setbacks, frustrations, challenges, and troubles that will want to slow us down on our destiny Journey.

Friday 22 March – Supernatural Help for our Assignment
Tonight, we are praying for an upward shift in our lives. We are praying into the ministry of men. Men are required to endorse us and announce us. Even Jesus needed a forerunner to announce him – John the Baptist.
Men are vital to our destiny. Men are our lifters, connectors, ladders, and accelerators in destiny. Amos 7:5 ‘Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small’.
Every man needs a ‘whom’ the designed, appointed and anointed one for their rising. Every destiny needs a connection to rise , every person needs another person to rise. No matter how anointed you are, you need helpers to rise. Esther had her Uncle; Ruth had her mother-in-law. Joseph needed the Butler.
Pharoah will never have listened to Joseph but his ministry of interpretation of dreams had to be authenticated by the butler who had Pharaoh ears.
Genesis 39:5B: ‘the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field’.
We release the person heaven has already approved to communicate the grace required for our lifting and elevation, for our enlargement and promotion.
Tonight, we will pray and call in men and women that we need to rise in our lives, our assignment, ministry, business and in our careers.

Saturday 23 March – Embracing the Spirit of Wisdom
Intro- Wisdom is a major key to succeed in our Christian Journey. Wisdom is the principal thing, and it is what will separate and distinguish a Christian in these last days. Jesus operated in wisdom continually, he flawed the intellectuals of his day so much that they exclaimed ‘what wisdom is this’? Matthew 13:54
Isaiah 11:2 says ‘And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord’. He also had to grow in wisdom according to Luke 2: 52 Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God.
There is a wisdom required to navigate the times we are in. This season that has defied all the worldly wisdom and laws of Economics. Daniel was a slave in a foreign land, but there was wisdom to lead. Always knowing what to do.
It is also recorded that mighty works are a direct result of wisdom Mark 6: 2 ‘And what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?’.
Wisdom, the wisdom of God, Uncommon wisdom, Wisdom is significant for Mastery. Wisdom is pertinent for dominion. It is relevant for recognition. The Anointing for uncommon wisdom, the grace for supernatural wisdom. wisdom is not by age; it is not by degrees or an MBA Strategies. This wisdom is with God, He said to ask so we are asking tonight.
Tonight, we are praying for Insight, Concept, innovations and Ideas and all that is wrapped up in the wisdom of God. We are praying into superior wisdom from above.

Sunday 24 March – Favour for the Assignment
Intro- Favour and wisdom are the two most important things that are vital for our rising. Favour is the heritage of the redeemed, but it needs to be enforced. It is not automatic.
Favour is defined as an act of kindness beyond what is due or usual, feel or show approval or preference for approval, support, or liking for someone or something, approval commendation, goodwill kindness. Any human being of significance in the word had the favour of God obviously over their lives. Joseph had favour, Daniel has favour and even Jesus needed Favour.
Favour is one of the greatest accelerator of destiny. This is so relevant in the world where everyone will use anything at their disposal to advance, we have the advantage of favour. The benefit of preferential treatment. For us to matter on this planet we need the favour with God and man.
One day of favour is bigger and better than 10 years of labour. So, we are going to label the rest days of 2024, days of favour.
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.– Romans 9:16
Solomon the smartest man said (NOG ) Eccl 9:11
I saw something else under the sun. The race isn’t won by fast runners, or the battle by heroes. Wise people don’t necessarily have food. Intelligent people don’t necessarily have riches, and skilled people don’t necessarily receive special treatment. But time and unpredictable events overtake all of them.
Favour is God endorsing us, favour supports us, Favours assists us . God Providing us special advantages, God gives us special privileges God features us, spotlights us and highlights us.
