Morning Prayer – Minimum

MINIMUM THINGS TO DO DAILY TO KEEP YOURSELF IN THE LOVE OF GOD, NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE

Lord, have mercy on us all (we praying and them receiving) so we receive Your Blood to remit our sins and so cleanse us all from ALL unrighteousness (Heb. 8:12; 1Jn.1:7), Your life (Jd.1:21) and power (Acts 1:8) in sufficient measure for this prayer:

“I choose to fear God (Pr.1:29; Heb.5:7) so I humble (1Pt.5:6) myself by submitting to the will of God even when I don’t feel like it (Phil.2:8) especially in prayer knowing the certainty of His judgement and chastening (1Cor.11:32) if I disobey (Heb.2:2) and the security of His mercy when I obey (Pro. 28:13; Jas. 2:13); and so I have more of the humility of the mind of Christ (Phil.2:5); I am more meek and lowly in heart (Matt.11:29); and remain small (relative to God) in my own sight (1Sam.15:17).”

Meditate: Think for a short while on what you have just said with a determination to practice it.

Pray in tongues for a short while as above and as you pray, say in your heart and determine to practice what you have just confessed, mentally acknowledging with thanksgiving (Col.4:2) the presence of the three Persons of the God-Head in the air around you (Psalms 16:8).

Time: About 1 minute.

Pray for wisdom and revelation because it is the principal part of love.

“Father, please give me afresh and increasingly more of the spirit of wisdom and revelation (Eph. 1:17) in the present complete knowledge and spiritual understanding (Col.1:9-11) of You to grow into the perfection and fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:11-15), to walk in love (Phil.1:9; Eph.4:15; 5:2), to watch and pray always (Luke 21:36): to make me as wise as a serpent, as harmless as a dove (Matt.10:16) and as bold as a lion (Pro.28:1), to give me more of the ability of the mind of Christ (1Cor.2:16; 1Kgs.4:29) so I will know better, the hope of Your calling upon my life, the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in me as a saint and the exceeding greatness of Your resurrection power which You wrought in Christ when He was raised from the dead (Eph.1:18-20); and to ultimately cause me to manifest the glory of God (Jn.2:11) by partaking of the Spirit without measure (Jn.3:34) in Jesus Name.”

Meditate: Think for a short while on what you have just said with a determination to practice it.

Time: About 1 minute.

“I love God more with all my heart: will, mind, emotions and strength (Mk. 12:30); I love my brethren and all men more as Christ loves them (Jn.13:34): washing their feet (Jn.13:14-15) by forgiving, confessing and so cleansing their sins by the blood of Jesus (Jn.20:23; 1Jn.1:9), asking life for them (1Jn.5:16) and praying for them in tongues frequently (1Cor.14:18; Jude 20) at least four to five times (2 Kgs.13.19) a day (dawn, morning, afternoon, evening and night (Deut.6:7; Mk.13:35)) to cover for every six hours (2Sam. 6:13) and [(at the fifth time if necessary) praying] to cover for six hours ahead; and by all these, praying with my thoughts (2Cor.10:4-5; Pro.20:8) every conscious hour as led by the Spirit (Gen.24:27) and in every temptation to receive more of God’s mercies (1Cor.7:25; Rom.9:16) for wisdom and strength to will and do of God’s good pleasure (Phil.2:13, Heb.13:21), to love righteousness and hate iniquity (Heb.1:9), and to have fullness of joy and pleasure forevermore (Ps.16:11), to overcome all temptations and walk in love by divine wisdom, compassion and power”.

Meditate: Think for a short while on what you have just said with a determination to practice it.

Time: About 1 minute.

“Father, please fill and cover my will, mind, emotions, body and circumstances with more love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control and patience so I will think, speak, feel and act more like God as we pray and so in every circumstance and situation in the next six hours (Deut.6:7; Mk.13:35; 2Sam.6:13) in Jesus name.”

Meditate: Think for a short while on what you have just said with a determination to practice it.

Time: About 1 minute.

LIFE AND POWER SCRIPTURES

The life of God is the spiritual substance inside God that makes Him God (Jn.5:26). It is also called living water (Jn.4:10, Rev.22:1). It contains His attributes: power, love, wisdom etc. It is important before we do in-depth praying in the Spirit to ensure that the abundance of our heart (Lk.6:45) is full of the life and power of God (Eph.5:18), Jn.6:63). This is similar to filling the tank of your car with petrol to ensure you can complete the trip.

Lord, have mercy on us all (we praying and them receiving) so we receive Your Blood to remit our sins and so cleanse us all from ALL unrighteousness (Heb. 8:12; 1Jn.1:7).

(We receive more power to distribute to our souls, bodies and circumstances for this and store in our souls and spirits) in Jesus’ name.

After the morning prayer with all types of prayer in the Spirit has been completed You now ‘wash feet’ and bind the devil by praying as shown below:

Meditate: Think for a short while on what you have just said with a determination to practice it.

Time: About 2 minutes.

This same prayer should be repeated after every six hours to cover for the next six hours. It is wise to always pray six hours ahead of time: pray to cover from 06.00 hrs – 12.00 hrs between 23.00hrs – 0.00hrs the night before and then pray to cover from 12.00 hrs – 18.00hrs between 05.00 hrs – 06.00 hrs and so on, throughout the day. If you do this, you will always be one step ahead of the devil having the wisdom and power to overcome the temptations and trials he is going to bring before they come. In addition, you acknowledge the Lord for mercy and pray frequently in tongues (Col. 4:2,1 Cor. 14:5,18, Jude 1:20-21) as often as it is practicable during the six hours between these prayers. This was how the Lord Jesus was always able to overcome all temptations (Heb. 4:15-16): He always received the wisdom and power to overcome the temptations (Matt.26:41) because He watched and prayed always (Lk. 21:36).

Do this when you can:

I set my will and determine to apply completely and operate diligently (Ps. 119: 112) the principles of perfection doing all God reveals to me to do (Phil. 2:13): acknowledging and inquiring of the Lord in my thinking by frequently at every opportunity as led by the Spirit (Gen.24:27) and during temptations, asking the Holy Spirit with thanksgiving (Col.4:2) for mercy unto eternal life to be faithful to do all things with love (1Cor.16:14).

Pray fervently in tongues for a short while (10-15 seconds) to release mercy and grace to bring to pass all you have just confessed. Meditate (think on and say in your heart) the confession as you pray in tongues.

I submit my will firstly to God through His word, and also through my conscience (Rom.2:15) with reverence (without God I cannot survive spiritually: Jn. 1:1). Secondly, I submit to those in authority over me (spiritual fathers and mothers, pastors, husband, parents, boss, etc) with reverence (without them I cannot survive physically and progress spiritually: Eph. 6: 1-3) and thirdly, to those I am in authority over (flock, wife, children, servants, etc.) with meekness (without them I cannot progress spiritually or physically: Ephesians 4: 16) when what they say is in line with the word of God and will of God but it is inconvenient for my pride and feelings making me lower (Phil.2:7) than I think or know I am. I esteem my colleagues as better than myself and maintain an attitude of reverence to those above and meekness to those below me in authority, as well as towards all men, even when I think or know I am right and they are wrong.

GENERAL CONFESSIONS

Make the following confessions at least once a week (Gen.1-3-Gen.2:2) Praying in tongues briefly (about 1 minute) after each confession, meditating on (saying in your heart) the confessions as you pray in tongues.

REVELATION AND GIFTS BLOCK

Ephesians 1: 17-20: Father, please give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the present complete knowledge of You, so the eyes of my understanding may be further enlightened, that I may know better, the hope of Your calling upon my life, the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in me, and the exceeding greatness of Your resurrection power in Christ towards me as saint in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Philippians 1: 9: Father, please may my love abound yet more and more in present complete knowledge, in all judgement, in all things in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Father, please fill me with the present (2 Pet.1:12), complete knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Col.1: 9) concerning using an abundance of the life of God to pray and to walk in the Spirit, and so grow into the perfection and fullness of Christ (Eph.4:13-16) individually and corporately in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

*** (Pray this daily)

2Thessalonians 1:11-12: Father, please vouchsafe (guarantee) me worthy of the high calling You have called me to in Christ (of His perfection and fullness) and fulfil this day in and through me all the good pleasure of Your goodness and the work of faith with power, so the name of Jesus Christ will be glorified in me (by Your power) and I in Him (by Your goodness), according to and by Your mercy, His grace and the help of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Ephesians 3:16-19: Father, I pray that You grant me according to the riches of Your glory to be more strengthened with might by Your Spirit in my inner man, so that Christ would dwell more in my heart by faith, that I become more rooted and grounded in love (in my will), that I may be able to comprehend more (in my mind) with all saints what is the breadth, the length, the depth and the height (of the spiritual growth and capacity of all saints), and so to know more (in my emotions) the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge (like Christ showed to the Samaritan woman inspite of His knowledge of her sins (Jn.4:7-41)), that I might (ultimately) be filled (in my body (2Cor.4:10-11)) with all the fullness of God by the life of God being made more manifest in and through my mortal flesh, giving me more divine healing and health, more divine protection and provision, so I will live long and fulfil the fullness of my divine destiny in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The gifts of the Spirit (I Cor.12: 7-10): the word of wisdom, word of knowledge, discernings of spirits, gift of special faith, workings of miracles, gifts of healings, prophecy, diverse kinds of tongues and interpretations of tongues are more manifest through me as the Holy Spirit wills (1Cor.12:11) as I pray in tongues, pray for or lay hands on the sick and the oppressed (Mk.16:17-18) and praise and worship God (1Cor.14:15).

MIND BLOCK

*** (Pray this daily)

I think more only on things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, of good report, of excellence, and of praise (Phil. 4: 8). I bring more into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5), and I have more of the humility and ability of the mind of Christ (1Cor.2:16; Phil.2:5).

I acknowledge God frequently (as led by the Spirit (Gen.24:27)) and at every temptation (2Cor.10:5)) with thanksgiving in my thinking for mercy unto eternal life (Jude 21) to be faithful to do all things with love (1Cor.16:14), by praying frequently in tongues ((at least once every six hours (2Sam.6:13; Mk.13:35) and at every opportunity (1Cor.14:18)) to enforce more of the dominion of love in and upon my soul, body, circumstances and regional heavenlies. So in every temptation with my thoughts (2Cor.10:5; Pro.20:8) I commune and fellowship with God and so He directs my paths and actions (Pro.3:6b; Jas.1:22; 2:18) to overcome all temptations and keeps me in perfect peace (Rev.3:6; Jude 20, 21; Is.26:3; Rom.8:6).

I exercise my heart in righteous practices (Ps.15:2) and my heart is established in righteousness (Ps.112:8) so that I cannot continue in sin (Pro.28:13a); therefore I have the sure mercies (Pr.28:13b) of David turning my captivities into freedom and restoring all my fortunes (Ps.126:4).

*** (Pray this daily)

I am swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath (Jas.1:19), I let my words be few (Ecc.5:2), speaking only what God permits (John 8: 26).

*** (Pray this daily)

Ephesians 5: 16: I redeem the time always, because the days are evil.

CONSISTENCY BLOCK

** (Pray this daily)

Father, please strengthen me more with all might according unto Your glorious power unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness (Col.1: 11), so I will be more consistently diligent in my prayer life, walk in the Spirit by the life of God, prompt and diligent obedience to the voice and leadings of the Holy Spirit, bible reading and study (2Tim.2:15; 3:16-17), witnessing by the Spirit (1Pet.3:1) and living a fasted life (Is.7:15; Eccl.10:16-17): all daily (Lk. 9: 23); and fasting and prayer at least once weekly (Is.58:6-13) in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I continue in righteousness (Heb.1:9) applying completely and operating diligently the principles (Jas.1:27a) of perfection in God’s presence; so keeping myself unspotted from the world (the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life (1Jn.2:16)), feeding the poor and visiting the afflicted (Jas.1:27b), having fullness of joy and pleasures forever more (Ps. 16:11).

*** (Pray this daily)

I am a vessel of honour, sanctified and meet for the Master’s use (2Tim.2:20,21), prepared unto every good work, so I abstain from all sexual impurity in thought, word and deed (1Th.5:22); by fulness of joy and pleasures forever more in the presence of God (Ps.16:11). I dress decently and comely to the glory of God (1Cor.10:31). I flee fornication, adultery and any type of sexual impurity because it can destroy my physical body (1 Cor.6: 18), will dishonour God (1 Cor.6: 19-20), and can disinherit me of the Spirit without measure (Jn.3:34).

PHYSICAL AND MATERIAL NEEDS BLOCK

Matthew 6: 10: God’s perfect will, plan and purpose for Nigeria (or mention your nation by name), Israel, America and all nations is in full physical manifestation.

By the stripes of Jesus (1 Pet.2 24) and His resurrection life and power (Rom.8:11, 2 Cor.4:10-11, 2 Cor.5:4, Pr.4:22), I am healed and live in divine healing and health, so I keep the laws of hygiene (Dt.23:10-14) and natural medicine (Lev.13-15; Is.38:21), of diet (Lev.11) of physical exercise (1 Tim.4:8) and of rest (Gen.2:2-3, Ex.20:8-11, Ex.31:17).

I keep the laws of prosperity: sowing (2Cor.9:6-9) by giving my tithes and offerings (Mal.3:10-12; Gal.6:6; 2Cor.9:8-14) promptly, completely, regularly and cheerfully; watering (Ps.1:3) by praying and walking in the Spirit (Jn.7:38-39; Rom.8:10-16;26) effectually and fervently (Jas.5:16); harvesting by practicing and investing in honest (Tit.3:14) ventures so I have knowledge, understanding, wisdom (Col.2:3), skill, divine guidance, strength, ability, favour with God and men (Lk.2:52); in all I do. I succeed, excel, innovate and prosper (Ps.1:3, Jos.1:8; 3 Jn.2) in all that I do. My God supplies all of my needs (Phil.4:19). I have a hundred-fold return in this lifetime (Mk. 10:30) on every financial seed I have sown thus far and on everything I have given because of Jesus and the gospel.

Psalms 91:1-13: I keep myself in the love of God, so no evil shall befall me, neither shall any plague come near my dwelling for God has given His angels charge over me, they keep me in all my ways and protect my spirit, soul and body and everything I have from damage, loss, theft and natural disasters.

Psalms 91:14-16: I have set my love upon God, so with long life will God satisfy me and show me His salvation even the perfection and fullness of Christ.

I am a profitable (Lk.17:10) son (Gal.4:1, Eph.4:14-15), having the spirit of excellence, so I am not satisfied with only doing what I have been commanded to do, but in addition I do that which is pleasing in God’s sight (1 Jn.3:22).

CHARACTERISTICS OF DIVINE LOVE

Divine love is discerning (by wisdom), feeling (by compassion) and doing (by power) what God would do in every situation because God is love. It is exercised by wisdom and patience shown in deeds of kindness and discipline when necessary. This is the goal of Christianity (Rom.13:8-10). Confess, meditate upon and pray in the Spirit concerning the following prayers (at least two daily so that all the twelve will be done within a week) from 1 Cor.13: 4-8 to walk in divine love daily.

Acknowledge the Holy Spirit as a Person

“Father, I confess our (i.e. self, immediate family, household, etc) sins, so clean with the blood from ALL unrighteousness” (to cover the multitude of sins, 1Pet. 4: 7-8, keep the commandment without spot, 1Tim. 6: 14: and edify ourselves in love, Eph. 4: 15; 1Jn. 5: 16); visualize the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus on your navel (symbolic of your connection to God) to remove all spots, blocks or clots).

“In Jesus’ Name we have life” (visualize the flow of life into you as living water, Jn. 4:10, 14).

(I) “Lord Holy Spirit (2Cor.3:17), please help me to perfect the love of God (i.e. allow it to flow more into my spirit, soul, body and circumstances)) in the next 24hrs: by the blood (to flow more into my spirit) (Heb.13:20-21)), the Word (to flow more into my mind and will) (1Jn.2:5)) and Your power by praying in tongues (to flow more into my emotions, body and circumstances) (1Jn.4:12-13)). As I determine to diligently seek this good, help me to procure favour (Pro.11:27), let grace and mercy be multiplied (2 Pet. 1:2) to me in sufficient (2 Cor. 12:9) measure, so all my prayers will avail much (Jas. 5:16), so that when the enemy comes in against my soul, body and circumstances, like a flood (Ps.29:3,10), You, through me, will raise a standard (by Your power and angels) against him (Is.59:19) so putting him to flight (Jas. 4:7), causing Your love by wisdom (1Jn.2:5 from Your word), compassion; kindness (1The.3:12 from Your fruit) and power (1Jn.4:12-13 from Your life)) in and through me to overcome all iniquity like it did in the Lord Jesus (Heb.4:15).In this regard, Lord Jesus and heavenly Father, I acknowledge You for Your grace and mercy in Jesus name. Lord Holy Spirit, please continue to help me and give me mercy unto eternal life (Jude 21) to walk in love and please You in all I do today. Thank You for the physical reality of Your Presence as evident by the supernatural tongues (Acts 2:4) I speak, so help me to be conscious of You throughout the next twenty-four hours.”

Meditate: Think for a short while on what you have just said with a determination to practice it.

Time: About 1 minute.

Choose the fear of God

(II) “I choose to fear God (Pr.1:29; Heb.5:7) so I humble (1Pt.5:6) myself by submitting to the will of God even when I don’t feel like it (Phil.2:8) especially in prayer knowing the certainty of His judgement and chastening (1Cor.11:32) if I disobey (Heb.2:2) and the security of His mercy when I obey (Pro. 28:13; Jas. 2:13); and so I have more of the humility of the mind of Christ (Phil.2:5); I am more meek and lowly in heart (Matt.11:29); and remain small (relative to God) in my own sight (1Sam.15:17).”

Meditate: Think for a short while on what you have just said with a determination to practice it.

Time: About 1 minute.

Pray for wisdom and revelation because it is the principal part of love.

(III) “Father, please give me afresh and increasingly more of the spirit of wisdom and revelation (Eph. 1:17) in the present complete knowledge and spiritual understanding (Col.1:9-11) of You to grow into the perfection and fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:11-15), to walk in love (Phil.1:9; Eph.4:15; 5:2), to watch and pray always (Luke 21:36): to make me as wise as a serpent, as harmless as a dove (Matt.10:16) and as bold as a lion (Pro.28:1), to give me more of the ability of the mind of Christ (1Cor.2:16; 1Kgs.4:29) so I will know better, the hope of Your calling upon my life, the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in me as a saint and the exceeding greatness of Your resurrection power which You wrought in Christ when He was raised from the dead (Eph.1:18-20); and to ultimately cause me to manifest the glory of God (Jn.2:11) by partaking of the Spirit without measure (Jn.3:34) in Jesus Name.”

(IV) “I love God more with all my heart: will, mind, emotions and strength (Mk. 12:30); I love my brethren and all men more as Christ loves them (Jn.13:34): washing their feet (Jn.13:14-15) by forgiving, confessing and so cleansing their sins by the blood of Jesus (Jn.20:23; 1Jn.1:9), asking life for them (1Jn.5:16) and praying for them in tongues frequently (1Cor.14:18; Jude 20) at least four to five times (2 Kgs.13.19) a day (dawn, morning, afternoon, evening and night (Deut.6:7; Mk.13:35)) to cover for every six hours (2Sam. 6:13) and [(at the fifth time if necessary) praying] to cover for six hours ahead; and by all these, praying with my thoughts (2Cor.10:4-5; Pro.20:8) every conscious hour as led by the Spirit (Gen.24:27) and in every temptation to receive more of God’s mercies (1Cor.7:25; Rom.9:16) for wisdom and strength to will and do of God’s good pleasure (Phil.2:13, Heb.13:21), to love righteousness and hate iniquity (Heb.1:9), and to have fullness of joy and pleasure forevermore (Ps.16:11), to overcome all temptations and walk in love by divine wisdom, compassion and power”.

So I’m more than a conqueror (Rom.8:37) in all things and the wicked one touches me not (1Jn.5:18).”

Time: About 1 minute.

Pray to deny self and enforce righteousness.

(VIII) “I deny myself (Lk.9:23), resisting diligently by the Spirit, the lusts of the flesh especially over-talking, overeating, oversleeping and overindulgence in anything (1Cor.6:12) to do the will of God, knowing that God gives me all things richly to enjoy (1Tim.6:17) in His time (Eccl.3:11) in this lifetime (Mk.10:30) and also joy, peace and longsuffering (Rom.14:17) to endure self-denial, by acknowledging the Lord with thanksgiving (Col.4:2) in my thinking, for mercy for fullness of joy and pleasures forever more in God’s presence (Ps.16:11), to be faithful (1Cor.7:25) and to triumph always (Heb.4:16; Lk.21:36; Jas.2:13; 2 Cor.2:14) in self denial.”
