We come before the Lord with hearts full of faith, lifting up your requests for ministry growth, favor in your court case, and the restoration of what has been unjustly taken. Yet first, we must address something foundational: your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is only by His name that we are heard, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Without faith in Christ, even our most earnest prayers lack power. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today—for salvation is found in no one else.
Now, let us turn to your requests with the authority of Christ’s name.
For the growth of your ministry, we pray that the Lord would expand your territory for His glory, not for personal ambition. Remember, *"Unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). A ministry that does not exalt Christ above all else is built on shifting sand. We ask the Lord to refine your motives, to fill you with His Spirit, and to draw many to repentance through your work. *"He who wins souls is wise"* (Proverbs 11:30, WEB), but only if those souls are won to Christ, not to man-made movements. May your ministry be rooted in the uncompromising truth of Scripture, not in worldly strategies or prosperity-driven messages.
Regarding your court case over the land, we pray for God’s justice to prevail. *"The Lord executes righteous acts, and judgments for all who are oppressed"* (Psalm 103:6, WEB). Yet we also caution you: do not place your trust in legal systems or human favor, but in the Lord alone. If this land was acquired or is being pursued with dishonesty, greed, or unrighteous motives, we urge you to repent. *"What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?"* (Mark 8:36, WEB). The Lord sees the heart, and He will not bless what is stained by sin. If, however, this is a righteous cause, we ask that He would vindicate you and expose every scheme of the enemy.
As for the five million francs given to this woman, we pray for restoration—but only if this was a just and godly transaction. If this money was given in sin (whether through deception, bribery, or immoral ties), we rebuked such actions in the name of Jesus. *"The wicked borrows, and doesn’t pay back, but the righteous give generously"* (Psalm 37:21, WEB). If you were wronged, we ask the Lord to repay you sevenfold (Proverbs 6:31). But if you acted unjustly, we plead with you to make it right, for *"the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil"* (1 Timothy 6:10, WEB). The Lord can restore what was lost, but He will not bless unrighteous gain.
Finally, we exhort you: examine your heart before the Lord. Are these requests aligned with His will, or are they driven by earthly desires? *"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4, WEB)—but only when our desires are surrendered to His. Let us pray:
**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved. Lord, we lift up this servant who seeks ministry growth, justice in the courts, and financial restoration. Father, if there is any sin in their heart—greed, deceit, or unrighteous motives—we ask that You convict them by Your Holy Spirit. Cleanse them, Lord, and align their desires with Your will.
For their ministry, we pray that it would be a light in the darkness, preaching Christ crucified, not worldly success. May souls be saved, disciples made, and Your Word proclaimed without compromise. If this ministry has strayed from Your truth, redirect it, Lord. Let it be built on the foundation of Jesus alone.
In the court case, we ask for Your justice to prevail. If this land is rightfully theirs, defend their cause. Expose every lie and corrupt scheme. But if there is unconfessed sin in this matter, bring it to light, and grant repentance. Do not let them trust in princes or legal systems, but in You alone.
For the five million francs, Lord, if it was taken unjustly, we ask for supernatural restoration. But if it was given or spent in sin, we pray for conviction and the courage to make it right. Break every ungodly soul tie and financial bondage in Jesus’ name.
Father, we also ask that You would draw this beloved one deeper into relationship with You. If they do not know Christ as Savior, soften their heart today. Let them see that all these requests mean nothing without eternal life in Him.
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy over their life, ministry, and finances. No weapon formed against them shall prosper, in Jesus’ name. May Your will be done, not theirs. May Your kingdom come, not their own. We ask all this in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ. Amen.**
