PRAYER POINTS ON "FEAR GOD ALONE"

Father, I thank You for Your sovereignty and for being the only true God worthy of all fear and adoration, in Jesus' name.

Lord, I repent of every form of fear of man, fear of circumstances, or fear of authorities that has hindered me from living boldly for You. Forgive me for any compromise or lack of trust in Your unfailing protection, in Jesus' name.

Father, I pray for a fresh infilling of Your Spirit, empowering me to fear You alone and to live in obedience to Your word, in Jesus' name.

Lord, help me to always do what is right according to Your scriptures, so that I will have no cause to fear any human authority, in Jesus' name.

I pray for divine courage to stand firm in righteousness, even when faced with intimidation or oppression from any source. Let Your presence be my shield and buckler, in Jesus' name.

Father, just as You delivered Peter from prison and the hand of Herod, I pray for Your divine intervention and protection over me and Your church from any form of unjust terror or persecution by wicked authorities, in Jesus' name.

Lord, stir up within me an unyielding dependence on You before trouble comes, so that my first resort is always to cast my cares upon You, in Jesus' name.

Father, I pray for Your judgment upon any individual or system that seeks to unjustly oppress or terrorize Your children. Let them know that You are God alone, in Jesus' name.

I pray for Pastor E. A. Adeboye and all Your true servants. Continue to empower them to boldly preach Your word and to fear You alone, just as You protected him from the military government, in Jesus' name.

My personal prayer point: (Add your specific prayer regarding any situation where you need to overcome fear of man and trust God alone, e.g., "Lord, help me to overcome the fear of [specific person/situation] and to trust completely in Your protection and provision, in Jesus' name."

THEME: FEAR GOD ALONE II


MEMORIZE: Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear and let him be your dread. Isaiah 8:12-13


READ: Psalms 112:1-10
1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.


MESSAGE
Some people are afraid of witches, wizards, and other forces of darkness. Some other people are afraid of their bosses, some are afraid of failure, and some are even afraid of success. There are even some people who are afraid of their own shadows! I know that many people, situations, or even objects can indeed seem fearsome; however, you must understand that 2 Timothy 1:7 says:

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

God is the only being in the entire universe that is worth fearing. Jesus said in Matthew 10:28:

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

When you are afraid of people, situations, or anything at that, you are not walking in the fullness of the freedom Jesus paid for you to have. If you are still afraid of some things, it means that you have not yet understood that Jesus has made you free indeed (John 8:36). It doesn't matter how wealthy, intelligent, famous, or influential you are; if you are afraid, you are living in constant torment and are in bondage (1 John 4:18).

When Jesus sets anyone free, He gives the fellow all things that pertain to life and godliness; everything the fellow needs to establish his or her freedom (2 Peter 1:3). Jesus came to deliver us from the fear of death (Hebrews 2:14-15). The moment a fellow comes to Jesus Christ, he or she does not have to be afraid of death anymore.

The Bible says in Psalm 112:1: "Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments." This Scripture clearly states that the people who fear God are blessed indeed. A fellow who fears God indeed will delight greatly in His commandments. You can't claim to fear God and despise, disrespect, or disobey His instructions. When you fear God, you love His laws and obey them.

Beloved, there is no need to be afraid of anyone or anything God is the only one you should fear. Trust in Him, and He will deliver you from all forms of fear. Put all your focus on God, delight in His word, obey His commandments, and He will keep you in perfect peace all the days of your life (Isaiah 26:3).


KEY POINT
Trust in God, and He will deliver you from every form of fear.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 112-118


AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE

PRAYER POINTS:
Father, I thank You for Your unfailing love and for the promise of divine restoration as highlighted in Joel 2:25. Thank You for Your power to reverse the irreversible and bring back what was lost.

Father, I pray for restoration of lost time and opportunities in my life, just like You restored the years the locusts had eaten. Every lost promotion, every missed chance, every delayed blessing, I pray for their speedy restoration today, in Jesus' name.

Lord, in the name of Jesus, I bring before You every withered area of my life, my health, my finances, my relationships, and my spiritual walk. Let Your life-giving power touch them now and bring forth instant restoration, just like the man with the withered hand.

Father, if my spiritual walk has become withered, if my prayer life has dwindled, or my passion for You has grown cold, I pray for a fresh anointing and a divine revival today. Breathe new life into me, Lord, in Jesus' name.

I pray for restoration of spiritual gifts and anointing that may have been dormant or diminished. Lord, let me experience a greater realm of glory than before, as You promised in Haggai 2:9.

Father, I stand on the promise in Job 14:7-9, that as long as there is breath in me, there is hope. I submit completely to You, the Great Restorer. Please step into every seemingly hopeless situation in my life and bring forth Your perfect restoration.

Lord, any area of my life that the enemy has attacked, consumed, or caused to wither, I declare by faith that full restoration is my portion today, in Jesus' name.

Father, I pray for divine intervention in every situation where things have been unjustly hidden or delayed, just like the lecturer's file. Expose every hidden agenda and bring forth accelerated promotion and breakthroughs, in Jesus' name.

Lord, I pray for a restoration of peace, joy, and hope in every heart that has been burdened by loss or disappointment. Let Your comfort overflow, in Jesus' name.

Father, I pray for restoration in my family, in my community, and in my nation. Where there has been brokenness, bring healing; where there has been division, bring unity, in Jesus' name.

Lord, help me to remain sensitive to Your leading and to perceive the "scent of water" in every dry season, knowing that Your restoration is always at hand.

Your personal prayer points for divine restoration in specific areas of your life.
