We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this urgent plea for divine intervention, protection, and provision. Father God, we first want to acknowledge that it is only through the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, that we have access to You. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). We thank You for the gift of salvation and the privilege to approach You boldly through the blood of Jesus.
Heavenly Father, we lift up this business before You, asking that You open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings that there will not be room enough to receive them (Malachi 3:10). Lord, we know that it is You who gives the power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18), and we ask that You grant wisdom, favor, and divine connections to increase this business daily. Provide opportunities that no man can shut and bless the work of their hands abundantly. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus as they trust in You for provision (Philippians 4:7).
We stand firmly on Your Word, Lord, and declare that no weapon formed against this family, their children, their ministry, or their business shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We rebuke every evil scheme, every demonic plot, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment. Father, we specifically lift up the situation surrounding the newly built church. We declare that the gates of hell shall not prevail against Your church (Matthew 16:18). We pray that those who are hindering the opening of this church, especially the so-called minister who has aligned with satanic agents, be exposed and brought to justice. Let their plans be confounded, and let their evil agendas be utterly destroyed, as You promise in Isaiah 41:11-12: "Behold, all those who are incensed against you will be disappointed and confounded. Those who strive with you will be like nothing, and shall perish. You will seek them, and won’t find them, even those who contend with you. Those who war against you will be as nothing, as a non-existent thing."
Lord Jesus, we pray that Your desire, as mentioned in Luke 12:49, to cast fire on the earth and bring division where necessary, be fulfilled. Let Your truth prevail, and let the light of Your gospel shine brightly in this situation. We ask that You protect this family from all evil, secret plans, and attacks of the enemy. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let Your presence be a shield around them (Psalm 91:11). Deliver them from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence (Psalm 91:3). Let no evil befall them, nor any plague come near their dwelling.
Father, we also pray for the salvation of souls that this church is intended to reach. Let Your Holy Spirit move mightily, drawing the lost to Yourself. We declare that this church will be a beacon of hope, a place of refuge, and a house of prayer for all nations. Let the glory of the Lord fill this place, and let it be established for Your glory alone.
We come against every spirit of division, strife, and confusion in the name of Jesus. We bind every evil force working against this family and this ministry, and we loose the peace, joy, and prosperity of the Lord over their lives. We declare that they will walk in divine health, financial abundance, and spiritual victory. Let the words of Psalm 23:6 be their portion: "Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever."
Lord, we ask that You give this family a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, that the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened to know the hope of Your calling and the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints (Ephesians 1:17-18). Strengthen them with might by Your Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith (Ephesians 3:16-17). Let them be rooted and grounded in love, able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth of Your love (Ephesians 3:18).
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, knowing that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20). To You be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
