The Prayer of Release


Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The prayer of release is usually more of warfare, warfare in the sense that you are saying NO to the enemy who is withholding your God given blessings and resources from you. Quite  significant is the fact that you are not in direct conflict with the enemy but that through fervent intercession, plea for mercy, acknowledgment of sins and cries for forgiveness of sins and cleansing so that the will of God is done in your life, the establishment and manifestation of His will in all goodness for your life, you tarry, spend quality time in God’s Presence for the release of  God’s divine blessings.

Circumstances contrary to the word of God, the plans and purposes of God, the will of God can also precipitate the prayer of release as recorded in Acts Chapter 12 where constant prayer was offered to God for the release of Peter from death row. Peter was already condemned to death by Herod and would be killed at any point in time. But the Church did not give up praying because they trusted God to intervene and deliver Peter. God responded to their faith and set Peter free the night before he was to be killed by Herod. As evidenced by the constant prayer made by the Church for Peter, it is clear that the prayer of release is not always a one off activity until the desired result is gotten as in the case of Elijah’s prayer for rain. It is constant prayer; pray without ceasing as stated in the Bible in 1st Thessalonians Chapter 5 verse 17. It is akin to the prayer God requested of the intercessors He placed in Jerusalem.

The prayer of release is also the divine assignment for the person who pronounces a prophecy as well as the person who receives the prophecy. The prayer of release is what happens between the prophecy and the manifestation of the prophecy. It is diligent work.

The prayer of release is usually preceded by a word from God, a prophecy, a promise, a desire for the manifestation of the word of God in the life of a person, family, Church, community or nation. The word of God had come forth that there would be rain after a period of drought and  because Elijah knew that God Who does not lie, Who does not make empty promises had spoken, Elijah called down the rain in fervent, unceasing prayers to God after he had repaired the altar of God in Israel. Elijah prayed until there was a cloud in the skies. He did not stop praying until there was a manifestation. But for the mercy and grace of God, he would have been drenched in the rain. Please read 1st Kings Chapter 18 for details and Holy Spirit inspired understanding.

Pray Without Ceasing


Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Prayer is a command from God to believers. Please see Luke Chapter 18 verses 1 to 8, 2 verses 36 to 38 and 1st Thessalonians Chapter 5 verse 18, and Ephesians Chapter 6 verse 18. It is also a platform for making our requests to God.

The content of prayers is very important to God. I am sure that explains why Jesus Christ gave the Church a prayer template in Matthew Chapter 6 verses 5 to 15, Luke Chapter 11 verses 1 to 4 so that believers are not misguided when praying especially so when they are praying against people who hurt them, offended them and made them angry. Nowhere in the Bible did Jesus say that believers should pray against their enemies; asking them to die, be destroyed, or their properties destroyed. Also, the prayer template does not give room for self righteousness as in the case of the two men – the Pharisee and the tax collector who Jesus Christ described in Luke Chapter 18 verses 9 to 14. Jesus Christ commended the tax collector who humbly asked God for mercy.

Why Pray
God answers prayer. The Bible is replete with instances of the people of God praying to God and God in turn responding positively to their prayers. Additionally, God said so in His word. Please see Matthew Chapter 7 verse 7, Luke Chapter 18 verses 1 to 8, and Jeremiah Chapter 33 verse 3. The early Church prayed without ceasing in spite of the fact that the Apostle Peter was already on death row. God intervened and Peter was miraculously released from prison by an angel of God. Please read Acts Chapter 12 for details. Prophet Elijah prayed for the son of the widow of Zarephath and the young man came back to life. Please read 1st Kings Chapter 17 verses 17 to 24. He also prayed for rain after a long period of drought in Israel. God honored his prayer and there was a heavy downpour. Please read 1st Kings Chapter 18. The prophet Elisha prayed and the dead son of the woman of Shunem was brought back to life. Please read 2nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 15 to 37.

Be Sensitive to the Holy Spirit to Intercede


Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

He is the Spirit of grace and supplication (Zechariah Chapter 12 verse 10, Luke Chapter 2 verse 40, and Romans Chapter 8 verses 26 to 28).

All the intercessors mentioned in the Bible had the Holy Spirit without measure. That is why they prayed the purposes of God and His perfect will. Jesus, the perfection of intercession and the perfect intercessor was and is full of the Holy Spirit. Please see Isaiah Chapter 11 verse 2, Matthew Chapters 1 verse 20; 3 verse 16, 4 verse 1, Luke Chapters 1 verse 35; 4 verses 18 to 19, Romans Chapter 8 verse 34, Hebrews Chapter 7 verse 25.

The Apostle Paul, a great man of prayer, writing by the Holy Spirit instructed believers to pray without ceasing. Please see 1st Thessalonians Chapter 5 verse 17, Ephesians Chapter 6 verse 18; thereby reiterating what Jesus taught in Luke Chapter 18 verse 1. Beloved, PRAY! PRAY!! PRAY!!!; NOT BY MIGHT BUT BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

Anna the prophetess spent her days and nights in prayers and fasting. Significantly, the Bible does not record that Anna was praying for her children or properties. She was widowed at a young age yet she spent her days and nights interceding for the kingdom of God; the plans and purposes of God; the perfect will of God to be established. Prophetess Anna was able to do this because she was filled with the Spirit of grace and supplication and she also respected and honored the Spirit of grace and supplication. Please see Luke Chapter 2 verses 36 to 37.

So also was Simeon who recognized Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit. Please see Luke Chapter 2 verses 25 to 32.

Your Tongue can be a Healing Stream

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The wise use of the tongue can ensure that your tongue becomes a healing stream. Please see Proverbs Chapter 15 verses 7, 23, 28, 14, 40, 4; 10 verses 11, 13, 20 to 21, 31 to 32; 12 verse 18, 16 verses 20 to 24; 15 verse 30.

One of the most pressing problems in the world today is the way people use their tongues. Hate speech is pervasive in spite of laws that have been enacted globally against the trend. People enjoy cursing; using four letter words, invectives at the slightest provocation. Unfortunately, this trend is fast becoming pervasive among Christians as some Christians are quick to use their tongues to make negative pronouncements against people who hurt them and abuse people who misbehave or are rude to them. This worrisome trend has assumed frightful dimensions as even some ordained Ministers of the gospel pronounce curses on people who offend or hurt them, use invectives against other people even from the pulpit. Beloved, this is not right.  The Scriptures do not permit such behavior. Please see Numbers Chapter 16 verses 12 to 35, 17 verses 1 to 7.

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ consistently and always used His tongue as a healing stream just as God ordained for Him to do. Please Luke Chapter 4 verse 18 to 19, Isaiah Chapter 61 verses 1 to 3, John Chapter 6 verse 63. Severally, Jesus Christ used His tongue to bring healing, comfort, hope, life, deliverance and freedom from all kinds of oppression to great multitudes. Please see Acts Chapter 10 verse 38, Mark Chapter verses 17 to 27, Luke Chapter 9 verses 38 to 43 for details of His ministration to the epileptic boy; Luke Chapter 13 verses 11 to 16 for details of His ministry to the woman who was bent over for eighteen years; Matthew Chapter 9 verses 20 to 22, Luke Chapter 8 verses 43 to 48, Mark Chapter 5 verses 25 to 34 for details of the kind words He spoke to the woman with the issue of blood; Mark Chapter 5 for His ministry to the Gadarene demoniac. A number of other examples can be found in the gospels, Matthew through to John.

Women in Nation Building


Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Women are relevant to God in diverse ways. This is because God also uses women as vessels of honor in nation building as well as healing the nations. However, for any woman to be relevant in God’s scheme of affairs, that woman has to be relevant to God in His own ways and timing. Significantly, you and I can become such women, vessels in the hands of God for nation building and healing the nations. How, you may ask? By possibly taking a cue from some of the women of relevance in the Bible; the women who were strategically positioned to fulfill purpose so that you and I are relevant in nation building and healing the nations as the world celebrates Mother’s Day on Sunday, 11th March 2018..

By being Prayerful

Prophetess Anna was both prayerful and kingdom minded. After being widowed at an early age, Prophetess Anna spent her entire life working with God for the manifestation of God’s plans and purposes for humanity. She did this faithfully for about seventy years. After setting her eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ, she willingly departed the earth for greater glories. Please see Luke Chapter 2 verses 36 to 37. Other women who were prayerful and in the process birthed divine destinies include Hannah the mother of Prophet Samuel, the mother of John Mark whose house was a house of prayer where constant prayer was made for Peter and he escaped the death trap of King Herod who killed believers for the fun of it. These women prayed down God’s plans and purposes. They were not asking God for the latest designs from the luxury designers of the world; neither were they asking for luxury homes. They were concerned with the will of God and were praying down the will of God, warring in the heavenlies against forces opposed to the will of God for humanity and His saints.

Church; Arise and Heal the Nations

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The order of God is for the world to serve the Church through beneficial policies and access to whatever resources the Church requires but the Church has reversed the order by serving the world. Pray that God’s original order will stand so that the Church will be busily and profitably engaged in the tasks of soul winning and spiritual nurture.

Ask God to show the Church mercy and transfer wealth to the Church as the Church needs money for large scale evangelistic meetings as well as reaching out to the needy and vulnerable people in society. Therefore, let there be a speedy manifestation of the promises of God concerning wealth transfer as stipulated in Isaiah Chapter 60.

Let the glory of God rise upon the Church and let the glory be seen.

Let the Gentiles and kings come to the Church to behold and partake of the glory of God.

Let backslidden Christians repent and return to the Church.

The abundance of the sea should flow to the Church.

The wealth of the Gentiles should be divinely transferred to the Church.

Divine Guidance for the Healing of the Nations

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Divine greatness and enlargement and guidance of nations come from God alone. Please see Job Chapters 8 verse 7; 12 verse 23, Psalms 78 verse 52; 25 verse 9; 73 verse 24, Isaiah Chapter 58 verse 11, Exodus Chapter 15 verse 13. Therefore, pray that God in His infinite mercy will grant nations the wisdom to ask Him for divine guidance that will lead to the enlargement and greatness of nations.

Father, please, have mercy on the nations of the world and make them great by your power in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Give both the leadership and the peoples of the nations the wisdom, knowledge, understanding and other resources that they require to make them great, Lord in Jesus mighty name; and after You have made them great, Lord, please help them to stay great in Jesus mighty name.
Father, please keep them safe from the sins the enemy uses to ensnare them so that they stumble from your paths. Keep them safe in your paths, Lord and help them to manage the greatness you are bestowing on them in Jesus mighty name. Thank You for answered prayers, Lord in Jesus mighty name.

You are the One Who alone has the power to make the nations great. Father, please release the power for sustainable greatness upon the nations of the world and help them to stay great by your power in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Thank You, Lord.

Enlargement of nations in whatever form comes from You alone, Lord. Please, have mercy on the nations of the world and enlarge them spiritually, physically, materially, numerically, mentally, intellectually, financially, and politically for and to the glory of Your holy name, Lord in Jesus mighty name.

The Significance of Light in Healing the Nations

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

In the creation story, the earth lacked form; there was chaos, lack of order, total disorder, and lack of direction. There was no clear cut direction, everything was done haphazardly; void and darkness was on the face of the deep. To give the earth form and fill the void, light was required to take away the darkness and give direction to the creation process. So God created light first. In like manner, light is required to bring order out of chaos and that light is the word of God, which comes through salvation by faith in Christ Jesus. Darkness symbolizes ignorance, absence of light, lack of understanding, lack of wisdom, foolishness, rebellion, confusion, unbelief, lack of direction.

Righteousness symbolizes light, right direction, clear cut specific direction, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and obedience. It is only the righteousness of God that exalts a nation. Please see Proverbs Chapter 14 verse 34, Romans Chapters 3 verse 21 to 22; 10 verses 1 to 13; 9 verses 27 to 33 and 1st Corinthians Chapter 1 verse 30. The morality of a person or persons in a nation/s cannot exalt the nation; neither does the supposed righteousness of the nation established outside of the righteousness of God. This is because the righteousness of man is like filthy rags.

Light represents clarity, knowledge, and understanding. That is why light excels darkness – Ecclesiastes Chapter 2 verse 13. Visibility and clarity is enhanced with light and greater mobility is assured in the presence of light. Light gives speed, leverage, an edge or edges over your competition. Light causes you to excel as you will have greater understanding of what to do, how to do it better; when to do it to achieve greater and better results – Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 verses 1 to 11, 17, 1st Chronicles Chapter 12 verse 32 and where to do it.

The Responsibility for Leadership

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Leaders are motivated by service, not power. Leaders add value to others by serving them, not by lording it over them. John Maxwell.

True leadership comes by genuine unadulterated service to God and humanity. At various levels, everyone created by God is a leader endowed with divine gifts for leadership albeit service to God and humanity.

To lead effectively, you have to identify your divine gifts for service so that you will provide the right service and leadership. Leaders who have no gifts or people who have not identified their gifts for service are not leaders but rulers who impose themselves on humanity and have nothing to offer the people. They are usually the ones who cannot provide any sense of direction. Rather, they impose hard to obey rules culminating in fear in the land in the bid to coax the people into forced submission.


WALL OF FIRE


This story comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo where there is fighting between government and rebel soldiers.

The door fell with a crash as enemy soldiers rushed into the pastor’s house. They had machine-guns and were ready to use them. Their plan was to kill all the people in the village, beginning with the young pastor and his family.

FILLED WITH HATE
The family sat, stunned, waiting to see what would happen next.  The soldiers were filled with hate. “Wait,” the pastor said. “Please let my family and me pray for a moment before we die”  The whole family knelt, arm in arm, in a circle on the floor and asked God for his help.

As they prayed, they expected machine-gun fire any second, but none came.  Slowly they stood up. The soldiers had gone, not just from their house but from the village too.

Prayers for Missionaries in Healing the Nations

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Missionaries working in mission fields so that the unreached and unchurched can hear the gospel and be saved and become churched so that they can build Christian communities are almost always in the forefront of spiritual warfare. How? They are the ones in the front lines of battle, taking over territories from the enemy so that nations can be healed spiritually of spiritual ignorance and blindness. These courageous and brave people of God alongside their family members require fervent and unceasing prayers from the Church of God. It is therefore my plea that the Church takes up prayers for these wonderful sons and daughters of Zion. I have listed some prayer/praise items to which you can add as many as the Holy Spirit leads you to add. God bless you as you do so in Jesus mighty name.

Ask God to give missionaries favor and wisdom before the government and peoples of the lands in which they serve. Please see Acts Chapter 7 verse 10.

Ask God to strengthen missionaries to continually give themselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word. Please see Acts Chapter 6 verses 2 and 4.

Pray that God delivers missionaries all over the world from every form of persecution and afflictions. Please see 2nd Timothy Chapter 3 verses 11, 4 verse 17, 2nd Thessalonians Chapter 3 verses 1 to 2; Romans Chapter 15 verses 30 to 31.

Ask God to stand with missionaries all over the world and strengthen them so that the message of the gospel of salvation by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will be preached fully through them so that all the unreached peoples of the world will be reached with the saving gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Please see 2nd Timothy Chapter 4 verse 17.

Pray for open doors to countries and peoples that have shut their doors to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Please see Colossians Chapter 4 verses 3 to 4, 2nd Corinthians Chapter 2 verse 12, 1st Corinthians Chapter 16 verse 9.

Ask God to break down all such resistance and opposition to the preaching of the gospel. Scripture cannot be broken – Psalms 2; 24 verses 7 to 10; 107 verse 16, Joshua Chapter 6.

The Gift of Faith for Healing the Nations

                                        Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

A number of nations are experiencing different types of challenges and problems that range from spiritual, political, economic, environmental, health, social malaise, food insecurity bordering on hunger and famine. All forms of tensions threaten peace and development. Governments, citizens and religious leaders seek solutions and experiment with proffered solutions. Unfortunately, some of these supposed solutions fail in the face of teeming challenges that show up with different faces almost on a daily basis. They include economic recessions, political instability, threats of war as nations try and test the military prowess of each other and even take steps further to try each other’s patience; terrorism, natural disasters destroying lives and property, youth restiveness, trafficking in persons, drug addiction, escalating poverty particularly the huge walls growing between the haves and have nots; and who knows what next.

Beloved, in the midst of all these, one is tempted to ask if solutions exist anywhere and if these problems can ever be resolved. Sure, they can but certainly not by physical, military, economic or intellectual prowess. They can only be resolved by the Spirit of God and that is where the gift of faith, one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit comes in. The gift of faith can bring about great and rapid as well as lasting healings to nations if utilized as directed by the Holy Spirit.

Great apostles of faith such as Moses, Abraham, Joseph, Elijah, Elisha, Daniel, Nehemiah, Ezra, Haggai, Deborah, Paul, Peter, Smith Wigglesworth and Kathryn Kuhlman and numerous others exercised the gift of faith to bring about multidimensional healings in different nations of the world. Modern day apostles of faith include but are not limited to Billy Graham, Benny Hinn and many others.

The Place of Fasting and Prayer in the Healing of the Nations 1

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Fasting and prayer are major components of healing the nations. Fasting and prayer should always be accompanied with genuine repentance.

The prophet Jonah was asked by God to deliver a judgmental prophecy of God’s intended destruction of Nineveh on account of their wickedness. Initially, Jonah disobeyed God but as Jonah obeyed God and proclaimed the message, the people of Nineveh were convicted of sin, turned to God in repentance through fasting and prayers for forgiveness of sins. The Bible   records that God pitied them and relented. It is significant to note that it was not the mere act of fasting that made God pardon them. It was the state of their hearts – they turned from their evil ways. Additionally, they humbled themselves through the fast. That explains why the Bible instructs believers not to rend their garments but their hearts and return to the Lord. This was exactly what the people of Nineveh did. Please see Joel Chapters 2 verses 12 to 13, 1 verse 14 as well as Jonah Chapter 3 verses 5 to 10.

It is also instructive to note that this was what Daniel did. Daniel accompanied his intercession for the restoration of Israel with prayer and fasting. Please see Daniel Chapter 9 verses 1 to 3. Nehemiah also fasted and prayed when he learnt about what had befallen Jerusalem – the distressing state of the survivors coupled with the broken down walls and burnt gates (Nehemiah Chapter 1 verses 1 to 4). The Old Testament prophet Samuel also led the people of Israel fasting and prayer as they returned to the Lord after practicing idolatry. Please see 1st Samuel Chapter 7 verses 1 to 17. Quite instructive is the fact that as they fasted and prayed, the Philistines attacked them but God gave them overwhelming victory.

The Role of Prayer Cells in the Healing of the Nations

                                                Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

 Mary the mother of John Mark remains a woman of unrivaled beauty to me. Why, you may ask? She made available her home a place of prayer. Please see Acts Chapter 12. Many women whether believers or unbelievers make available their homes for unprofitable time wasting activities such as gossiping, sexual immorality as in the case of Potiphar’s wife,  centers of cannibalism as in the case of the foolish woman who agreed to kill her son for food and later regretted it because the person who urged her to do so refused to kill her own child; dens for trafficking and other forms of criminal activities.

But Mary used her home for divine purposes. She made it a place where the Church gathered together to intercede for the deliverance of Peter from the hands of untimely death through the evil intent of Herod who had found a new past time in killing the servants of God. God honored the prayers made in this home and Peter was released from the prison by an angel of God.

A prayer meeting can be held in any home that is made available for such a purpose and God will honor the prayers prayed in that home irrespective of the size, grandeur, opulence or insignificance and plainness. What is significant is the desire of the owners of the home to use their home as an altar of prayer to God; the hearts and the willingness of the people to pray. God is faithful and will always be present where two or three are gathered together in His name (Matthew Chapter 18 verse 20).

Thank You

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

This post is to appreciate the contribution of everyone who participated in Healing the Nations Campfire 2016. I am grateful first to God who enabled you to do of His good pleasure and to you all who honored God and prayed through for the healing of the nations. God bless you all and meet you at the point of every need in your life in Jesus mighty name. May He also enlarge your coast and make you as prosperous as you desire in Jesus mighty name.

Beloved, the healing of the nations is not an event; that is to say that it is not a one off activity. It is a continuum – prayers, intercession, prophetic declarations, and activities such as prayer walks, praise and worship sessions, adoration and thanksgiving to God, celebrating the awesome sanctifying, healing and protective presence of God in the people and in the land.

Healing the Nations Campfire is an annual event, a one off prayer activity every year. But the bulk of the work, the real intercession for the healing of the nations is in the daily intercessory meetings for the healing of the nations; the lead up activities such as prayer and fasting, confession of sins, praise and worship, prophetic declarations to the one off annual event. The healing of the nations is therefore a daily activity – constant prayer as exemplified in Acts Chapter 12 where the Church gathered in the home of Mary, the mother of John Mark to pray for the release of Peter.

The Place of Restitution in the Healing of the Nations

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Sometimes, restitution, the practice of restoring whatever was taken illegally by force of arms, subtlety or deceit is necessary for the healing of the nations, communities, organizations, families and individuals.

In the book of Genesis Chapter 12 verses 14 to 20, the Bible records an interesting story of what transpired between Abraham and Pharaoh. Until Pharaoh restituted Sarah back to Abraham, the lawful and rightful owner of Sarah, the Bible records that God plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because he took Sarah, Abraham’s wife as one of his wives. King Abimelech of Gerar also took on Sarah as one of his wives but God rebuked him and asked him to return Sarah back to Abraham. Thereafter, he and his household were restored. Please see Genesis Chapter 20 for full details of this very instructive story.

The Israelites under King David experienced and suffered famine for three years and when eventually King David went to  inquire of the LORD, God revealed that Israel had transgressed through Saul and his bloodthirsty house who killed the Gibeonites, people whom Israel had sworn protection to under the leadership of Joshua. Please see Joshua Chapter 9 for details of the transaction.

Rend Your Hearts

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

There are several dimensions to healing the nations but none is as potent as the acknowledgement of sins, repentance and  complete turning away from sin by the leadership and the led (individual, family, community, national). When a people, beginning with the leadership, those in authority, alongside the led acknowledge their sins, repent of the sins, turn away from the sin and return to God, God usually shows mercy, forgives their sins, brings healing and restoration to the land. Please see 2nd Chronicles Chapter 7 verse 14, Joel Chapter 2 verses 12 to 28, 1st John Chapters 1 verses 7 to 10 and 5 verses 14 to 15.

There are examples in the Bible of people and nations who acknowledged their sins, repented of the sins and turned away from the sins to God who were forgiven, restored and healed. Not only were the people forgiven, restored and healed, the lands were also healed and restored. 

Israel under Ahab experienced three and a half years of drought and consequently famine ravaged the land. but after national repentance and restoration of the altar of God led by Prophet Elijah, the land experienced heavy downpour on the same day. forgiveness, healing and restoration was instant. 

The nation of Nineveh also experienced instant forgiveness, healing and restoration after everyone from the leadership to the led repented before God in fasting and prayer. Please see Jonah Chapter 3.

Safe Cities Initiative 2

Prevailing By The Spirit - Prayer Alert - Vol. 2 No 4, 2016

 Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely… For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.  And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. Leviticus Chapter 26 verses 4 to 5, 9 to 10 KJV.

Safe cities are cities where God is honored and celebrated. These are cities where God is given the pride of place and has the number one position in the hearts of the people.

Safe cities are cities where abundance is the order of the day. The land is fruitful and people are productively engaged in spiritually, mentally, physically, financially rewarding processes that birth fruitfulness, multiplication and increase on a daily basis.

Clean cities, peoples and nations are people who respect the marriage covenant and honor God in their marriages through respect for one another and fidelity to each other. They also parent their children to be God fearing people who honor God in their daily interactions with other people. Respect for one another, politeness and affirmation of one another characterize the conduct of people and families in safe cities which also explain why the cities are safe.

Beloved, I plead with you to join your faith with the millions of people who are crying for the will of God on earth so that communities, cities and nations will be safe havens of abode for everyone.  There is absolutely nothing that God cannot do. He can make every city safe again to the glory of His name in Jesus mighty name. God bless you as you pray some of these prayer points. Thank you and God bless you.
