21-DAY PRAYER & FASTING (DAY 5)
(Check the prayer guidelines below)
ANCHOR SCRIPTURE:
“He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; He led him about, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye” (Deut. 32:10)
According to our anchor scripture today, God leads us about, instructs us, and He keeps us as the apple of His eye.
However, divine agendas are spiritual open doors, they often attract opposition from hell. This is why we are called to engage in prayer and fasting to deal with such spiritual oppositions (see Matt 17:21).
But what do we stand to gain from this spiritual exercise? We gain access to divine guidance. Divine guidance is one of the greatest assets in the Kingdom, and prayer and fasting facilitate our access to it. Divine guidance is God showing you the right way to go, what to do, when to do it, and how to do it, so that your life aligns with His plan and will. This is the mystery behind our next-level breakthrough this year.
Jesus set an example for us in fasting, and He was continually guided by the Father. Abraham also excelled through divine guidance. What about Moses who was devoted to fasting? According to Scripture, he fasted for forty days on three different occasions, and he was constantly guided by God (Exo 24:18; 34:28; Deut 9:18).
The above examples are clear pointers that divine guidance is the secret to our next-level breakthrough this year 2026.
Divine guidance is a lifelong requirement for every child of God and should be our focus today in prayer. Seek the face of God for His guidance this year.
