TEXT: “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting” (Matt 17:21)
This year 2024 is going to be full of encounters that will culminate in strange order of happenings in the Morning Tea Devotional Family (Write this down). It is a year we shall all advance in the midst of adversaries and adversities. Concerning the children of Israel and by extension concerning you and I, the Bible says: “But the more they were afflicted, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel” (Exodus 1:12).
However, we have discovered times without number that prayer and fasting is a profitable endeavor in the kingdom of God. It helps us to be fully set for all that God has for us in the new year. There are destinies that would never be realized except prayer and fasting is engaged.
Also, no matter how powerful or promising a prophetic words is, we have to clear the oppositions resisting the fulfillment of it. This is because every great door suffers great resistances. And if we don’t clear the resistances, the great door will never come to reality. This forms the reason why we are starting our annual 21 days prayer and fasting on Monday 8th January to clear oppositions off our way this year.
Apostle Paul said: “For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries” (1 Cor 16:9). There is no form of resistance that can withstand the combined forces of vision, prayer and fasting. As you engage this prayer and fasting wholeheartedly, sincerely and faithfully, your life and destiny shall advance without hindrance this year, in Jesus name.
PRAYER: No adversity is strong enough to stop your advancement this year 2024, in Jesus name.
DAILY CONFESSION:
This year 2024, I am advancing in adversity because I’ve been redeemed to flourish in hard times therefore my life shall be full of wonders. Amen and amen.
