Prayer Points on "THE SECRET TO FRUITFULNESS"

1. Father, I thank You for the revelation that praise is the fruit of my lips and a powerful key to fruitfulness in every area of my life, in Jesus' name.

3. Father, just as Elisabeth served You faithfully despite her childlessness, give me the grace to praise You continually, regardless of my situation, trusting that You will reward my faithfulness, in Jesus' name.

4. Lord, let the spirit of Michal—the spirit that despises genuine praise—be far from me. Open my mouth to boast of Your goodness shamelessly, and let my womb, my hands, and my life be fruitful, in Jesus' name.

5. Father, I refuse to be like the fig tree with leaves only. Let my life produce fruit—the fruit of praise, the fruit of the Spirit, and the fruit of souls—that will satisfy my Maker and bring glory to Your name, in Jesus' name.

6. Lord, give me the heart of Job, who blessed Your name in the midst of loss, and the faith of Jehoshaphat, who praised You even when surrounded by enemies. Turn my battles into breakthroughs, in Jesus' name.

7. Holy Spirit, help me to understand that praise and worship are not mere formalities but powerful encounters where miracles happen. Let me never miss my season of visitation, in Jesus' name.

8. Father, as I offer the sacrifice of praise continually, let every barren area of my life become fruitful. Let my marriage, finances, ministry, and health flourish abundantly, in Jesus' name.

9. Lord, let my praise attract Your presence and provoke Your intervention in every difficult situation I face. Turn my mourning into dancing and my sorrow into joy, in Jesus' name.

10. My personal prayer point: (Mention specific areas where you desire fruitfulness and commit to praising God until you see manifestation).

11. Thank You, Father, for the secret to fruitfulness revealed. I will praise You continually, and I shall not be barren or unfruitful in any area, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

Lord Jesus, I come to You with a deeply repentant heart, please, forgive me and wash all my sins away with your precious blood shed at Calvary. I surrender my life to you, today, and, I accept You, as my personal Lord and Saviour. Please, come into my life and save my soul from eternal damnation.

THEME: THE SECRET TO FRUITFULNESS


MEMORISE: By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Hebrews 13:15


READ: Matthew 21:18-22
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.


MESSAGE
Yesterday, I discussed how praise opens the door to promotions by using David's life as an example. Do you know that Michal's disdain for her husband's lavish praise shut her womb? If you want to enjoy fruitfulness in every aspect of your life, never despise praise. Never see praise as unnecessary, and don't despise it when others praise God.
Some people see the praise and worship sessions of church services as unimportant, so they deliberately delay getting to church until praise and worship sessions are over. Praise and worship sessions are an integral part of church services; in fact, many people receive their miracles during such sessions. Don't cheat yourself out of God's blessings by despising praise and worship; they are too important to be treated casually.

People who refuse to praise God become unfruitful like Michal. In today's Bible reading, Jesus was hungry as He returned to Bethany. He saw a fig tree from afar and moved close to it, expecting to find fruit on it to satisfy His hunger. However, when He got to the tree, it had many leaves but no fruit, so He cursed the tree. Although it wasn't yet time for fig trees to bear fruits, Jesus didn’t spare it; it had no fruit to satisfy the hunger of its Maker, so it withered completely.

Today's memory verse tells us that praise is the fruit of our lips, and we are asked to offer it to God continually. You have no excuse not to praise God. Elisabeth didn't have a child after many years of marriage, yet she didn't use it as an excuse to neglect praising God; she served Him faithfully despite her childlessness, walking in all His commandments and ordinances (Luke 1:5-7). Praising God is one of His commandments, and you must be blameless in keeping it.

Job didn't stop praising God in the midst of his numerous losses; he lost all he had except his wife in one day, yet he blessed the name of the Lord (Job 1:20-21). As a result, God turned his situation around and blessed him with double of everything he lost. If you desire to be fruitful and victorious in every area of your life, you must be committed to praising God, even in the midst of many challenges, like Jehoshaphat, who praised God even when he was surrounded by enemies (2 Chronicles 20:1-28).

Beloved, when you offer God the fruit of your lips continually, you will experience His tremendous blessings and enjoy fruitfulness in every area of your life.

1. Father, I thank You for being the source of all promotion and the One who lifts up and sets down according to Your will, in Jesus' name.

4. Lord, let my praise be like David's—so persistent and sincere that it attracts Your attention and releases constant promotion and breakthroughs into my life, in Jesus' name.

5. Father, I break free from the spirit of Michal—the spirit of criticism, embarrassment, and pride that mocks genuine worship. I will not be silenced by the opinions of those who do not know my story, in Jesus' name.

6. Lord, as I praise You shamelessly, let every mountain of stagnation, delay, and opposition be removed. Promote me far beyond my expectations, according to Ephesians 3:20, in Jesus' name.

THEME: THE SECRET TO PROMOTIONS


MEMORISE: For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
Psalm 75:6-7


READ: 2 Samuel 6:13-23
13 And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

17 And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.

19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.

20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

21 And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.

22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.


MESSAGE
People often describe David in different ways: the shepherd boy, the giant slayer, the worshipper, etc. Despite these different descriptions, almost everyone who has heard and read about David agrees that the most important thing about him is that he knew how to praise God. That was the reason God loved him so much and kept promoting him to the extent that many regard him as Israel's greatest king. If you want to also experience constant promotion and breakthroughs, you must be addicted to praising God.

What exactly is praise? Praise is not thanksgiving, and it is not worship. Worship is telling God that He is the King of kings, the Lord of lords, and anything you do to show Him that He is your Lord. Praise, however, is boasting about God, like when a boy boasts about his father. In Matthew 21:15-16, the chief priests and scribes, who had seen the marvelous wonders that Jesus did, refused to praise Him.
However, children began to cry in the temple, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David." Despite the fact that they didn't praise God, the chief priests and scribes were angry because the children lavishly poured out their praise on Him. Don’t become too big to praise God because when you do, you will become too insignificant to be promoted by Him. Only a fellow with a childlike heart can truly praise God.

In the Bible reading for today, when David brought the ark of God back to Israel, he praised God with careless abandon. He was not ashamed to dance before the Lord; he boasted in the Lord publicly and didn't care about his position, reputation, or anything because he knew that he was praising the source of everything he had. When his wife, Michal, saw him, she felt embarrassed and scolded him when he returned home, saying, "Don't you have shame? Can't you behave yourself when praising God? As a king, you should know better." David replied, "Leave me to praise my God shamelessly. He is the One who promoted me above your father and everyone in your house. He is the source and owner of my life."

People who praise God like David never stop enjoying promotions. You should never allow the opinions of people who have not faced the things you have faced and the victories that God has given you to stop you from praising Him exuberantly. Become more intentional about boasting of God's goodness and faithfulness over your life, and He will continually lift you higher and bless you far beyond your expectations (Ephesians 3:20).


ACTION POINT
Make sure you boast about God to someone today, in your office, neighbourhood, on social media, and anywhere you go.

MEMORISE: And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! Luke 15:17


READ: Daniel 4:28-37
28 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.

29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.

30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:

35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

36 At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.

37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.


MESSAGE
To be in a constant state of confusion is to be in bondage mentally. One common form of confusion is when a student finds it difficult to understand what he or she is taught, no matter how hard he or she studies. Some students understand what they are taught, but when they are asked to recall what they have learnt during tests or examinations, for example, they don't remember anything. Another form of confusion is when a fellow never knows the right decisions to make.

In today's Bible reading, King Nebuchadnezzar lost his mind and was driven away from the midst of people. After seven years, the Lord decided to have mercy on him, and his 'reason' returned to him (Daniel 4:34). The prodigal son's senses also left him for some time, and he didn't make any wise decision until he came back to his senses (Luke 15:11-32). When the enemy attacks someone with confusion, the person might begin to call what is good bad and what is bad good.

There was a boy whose parents were professors, yet he always failed his exams and was always at the bottom of his class. His parents did everything they could to help him with his academics. They even got after-school teachers for him, but he kept failing. After a while, they brought him to me, and the Almighty God intervened. In the next set of examinations he wrote, the boy passed with flying colors and got the first position in his class. His teacher was shocked because, before that time, even if he had been given the answers to copy during an exam, he would have copied them wrongly and still failed. The teachers decided to make him sit for the examinations again, and this time, he scored even higher. For anyone reading this whose brain is in bondage, I pray that God's fire will fall and set you free from every confusion, in Jesus' name.

When a demon attacks a person with confusion, the person's life can quickly go off course. Such a person can become uncoordinated and unsuccessful as a result of demonic activities. I pray for you today; in any area where the enemy might have attacked you with mental fogginess and a lack of clarity in your mind, you will begin to experience jubilee. i declare that you will continually walk in light and understanding, in Jesus' name.


PRAYER POINT
Father, please give me the ability to make wise decisions at all times, in Jesus' name.

HYMN 19: ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME

Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me from its guilt and power.

2 Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All could never sin erase,
Thou must save, and save by grace.

3 Nothing in my hands I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace:
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

MESSAGE
I once went to a church to preach and was told that I couldn't enter the auditorium with my shoes on because it was against their doctrine. Il asked if there was anything else they wanted me to remove and said that I would gladly remove it. As long as I was given the opportunity to preach the gospel and win souls, nothing was too much for me to let go of. The pastor of the church, who is now a pastor in RCCG, was amazed.

Soul winning matters a lot to God, and it is important that you go all out to win souls. By going all out, I mean going all out in line with God's word. Unfortunately, some Christians think that engaging in sinful acts with unbelievers is a way to win souls to Christ; this is a lie from the pit of hell. You cannot walk along the path of sin under the guise of preaching the gospel and expect God to accept what you have done. You must do things God's way.
When Paul stated that he became all things to all men that he might save them, he meant that he sacrificed his comfort and many other things to reach out to different kinds of people. He was willing to let go of his status, influence, and comfort to tell others about Jesus. In 2 Corinthians 11:23-33, he shared some of the things he sacrificed and suffered for the sake of the gospel. He was beaten with rods in some cities, shipwrecked on different occasions, and stoned in other places. His ultimate goal was to bring men into God's kingdom, and he was willing to do anything, so long as it wouldn't be a sin, to achieve this.

These days, some so-called evangelists dress, speak, and act like unbelievers, claiming that it is because they want to convert them. However, when you dig deeper, you will realize they are the ones who have been converted. When a light bulb is covered with dirt and cobwebs, it will no longer be bright. Likewise, sin hinders a believer's witness for Christ and makes him or her an ineffective soul winner.

Beloved, God has given you a mandate to win souls, and you must sacrifice comfort and many other things to fulfil this mandate. However, your obedience to God's word is not one of the things you should sacrifice. I pray that God's grace will help you become an effective soul winner, in Jesus' name.

KEY POINT
Like Paul, you can be all things to all men to win souls, but don't engage in sin to do so.

THEME: ENLARGE YOUR COAST


MEMORISE: Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, leng then thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; Isaiah 54:2


READ: Genesis 13:14-17
14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:

15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.


MESSAGE
In today's Bible reading, God told Abraham to walk the length and breadth of the land He had promised him so that he could see more than what he had previously seen. When you walk through a place, you are often able to see more than you can see while standing in one spot.
The Almighty God told Abraham, "I will give you as much as you can see." God wants to enlarge your coast, and I prophesy that before this time next year, you will be far greater than you are today, in Jesus' name.

When some of my children told me that God had given the RCCG a 114-acre campground in the United States of America, I travelled there to see it, and I was really glad. When my children told me it was time to leave, I told them to leave me at the site with one of the vans and return to pick me up the next day. After they left, I came out of the van at night and began to pray and thank God for the campground. It was during the cold season, and after a while, the cold became so overwhelming that I had to return to the van. After I had warmed up a bit, I returned outside, and suddenly, I heard God say, Take a walk. Walk around the campground. The more you see, the more l will give you." I obeyed, and today, by the grace of God, what was 114 acres is now more than 800 acres. Also, that night, as I was walking, I saw a big house next to the campground, and God said, "Look at that house; it is yours." The following morning, I told my children about the house, and two years later, the owner of the house put it up for sale. My children went to negotiate with him for the house, and when they agreed on a price, they told him, "Do you know that two years ago, God told our father that this house was his?" He replied, "Why didn't you tell me since then? My wife and I have been contemplating selling this house for the past two years."

Beloved, my God is the creator of heaven and earth, and He can give you everything He has shown you. I pray that He will enlarge your vision today and make you see beyond what you have always seen, in Jesus' name.


PRAYER POINT
