Ezra 5
The MERCY of God is always available physically and
spiritually with an evidence of support, when building for the Lord. In the
case of the builders in this chapter, there was a notable presence of God
available to them – the Holy Spirit preaching the Gospel through the
prophets, the prophecies made specifically for God's work by Haggai and
Zechariah, and the joint efforts of the
four men of God – Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Haggai and Zechariah.
Prayer:
- Lord, thank You for sustaining Your work in the hands of our men. Please continue to make them the objects of Your MERCY and cause Your MERCY to prevail over their lives in all walks of life.
- Lord, open the eyes of our men to the essence and the extent of the power of the Holy Spirit. Let the POWER OF THE HIGHEST overshadow them and overtake them until they surrender to You completely.
Our arch-enemy (the devil) perfectly understands the
efficacy of the power of God in sustaining and reviving His work. The enemy is
aware of the heavenly resources in place for anyone that is all out for the
work of God, BUT his power is limited in tampering with any of these resources.
Prayer:
- Lord, please help our men to see beyond “the enemy – the devil” at all times. Help them to know and embrace the ability of Heaven in sustaining them, and in reviving the work in their hands.
- Lord, fortify our men with the essentials of the CROSS, so much that it will be extremely difficult for them to look back until they are completely sold out to You.
- CALL FORTH THE HELPERS OF DESTINY INTO THE LIVES OF THE MEN IN YOUR LIFE...(if you are a man, call your destiny-helpers for God's work into your life).
When the Holy Spirit of God is recognised and given the due respect to do what only Him can do, God does things in HIS OWN SPECIAL WAY. Everything (good or bad) begins to work together for the good of the true children of God.
Prayer:
- Lord, let the courage of Jesus on His way to CALVARY collide with our men. Grant them the POWER that made Jesus to be rest assured of Heaven while He was on the CROSS.
