Dear Lord Jesus Christ, we thank you for sustaining us by your great grace from our first cry till our last breath. We humbly request you to kindly grant more work and income to our business daily. Our Lord God Almighty, please fight all our enemies who think, talk, work devilish things against myself, family, children, ministry, business, peace, joy, prosperity. Let Isaiah 41: 11, 12 be fulfilled in the lives of those who hinder the opening of a newly built church that helps salvation of perishing souls, which is the mind of Christ, in Jesus Christ's name. Please pray that our awesome God Almighty must destroy utterly the evil agenda of the so called minister incharge who has joined hands with the satanic agents in church in spoiling the opening of newly built church. Please pray that the desire of Our Lord Jesus Christ as mentioned in Luke 12:49 be fulfilled in us and everywhere. Kindly pray that Almighty God must intervene to protect our family from all evil, secret plans to destroy our peace, joy, prosperity. Let all demonic works, witchcraft, black magic done against the prosperity, good health, wealth of our family be utterly burnt in the name of Jesus Christ, In Jesus Christ name, Amen.
Urgent prayer request for divine intervention provision protection prosperity
We join with you in lifting this urgent need before our Lord Jesus Christ and we thank God with you for His sustaining grace from our first breath till our last, for in Him we live and move and have our being.
We hear your cry for provision for your business, for protection for your family and children and ministry, and for the opening of the newly built church that you desire to see used for the salvation of perishing souls, which is indeed the heart of Christ who came to seek and to save that which was lost. We stand with you for divine intervention, and we also want to gently encourage you in how we pray against opposition.
You have asked that Isaiah 41:11,12 be fulfilled against those who hinder the church, which says 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. Those who war against you will be as nothing, as a non-existent thing. And you have asked that the desire of our Lord in Luke 12:49 be fulfilled, where Jesus said I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled. We understand your zeal for God's house and your distress when a minister in charge and others within the church appear to work against what God has built. We pray with you that every demonic work, witchcraft, black magic, and secret plan formed against your family, your peace, your joy, your health, your wealth and prosperity, and against this ministry, would be exposed and rendered powerless in the name of Jesus Christ, for greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world as we read in 1 John 4:4, and we know our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places in Ephesians 6:12.
At the same time we are reminded by Scripture that vengeance belongs to the Lord and we are called to love and pray for even those who oppose us. Romans 12:19 says Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord. And Romans 12:21 says Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. So we do not pray for the destruction of people, but for the utter destruction of the devil's agenda and for the conviction, repentance, and salvation of those who may be acting as instruments of that agenda, that God would either turn their hearts or remove their influence so that His will prevails and souls may be saved.
We also rejoice that you have come in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved and by which we have access to the Father. Acts 4:12 says There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. And John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Your faith in His name is the foundation for every prayer for provision and protection.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come boldly before Your throne of grace. We thank You that You are our sustainer, our provider, and our protector. We ask that You would supply every need of this family and this business according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus as You have promised in Philippians 4:19. Grant them daily work and honest increase, that their business may prosper with integrity and be a testimony of Your goodness, and help them to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness knowing that all these things will be added to them in Matthew 6:33. Let their prosperity be for Your glory and for the furtherance of the gospel.
Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over this family, their children, their home, and their ministry. Cover them under Your wings as Psalm 91:1,2 declares He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust. Let no weapon that is formed against them prosper in Isaiah 54:17, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be shown to be in the wrong. Burn up every work of darkness, every spell and scheme, and let it come to nothing by the power of the blood of Jesus. The Lord will be faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one in 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
For the newly built church, we ask that Your fire would indeed be kindled and that nothing would hinder the preaching of the gospel. Frustrate the plans of the enemy, expose secret counsels, and bring unity among Your people. If the minister in charge has joined with evil, we pray You would convict him and bring him to repentance, or in Your sovereignty remove his power to hinder. Let Your will be done and let this house be opened as a lighthouse for salvation, that many perishing souls would hear the good news and be saved.
We choose to trust You to fight for us, for You have said in Exodus 14:14 Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still. Give this dear family peace and joy that surpasses understanding as they wait on You, and let them rest in knowing that if God is for us, who can be against us in Romans 8:31.
We ask all this in the victorious and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, Amen.

We have read your request and we hear the weight you are carrying for your family, your business, and for the new church you long to see opened to reach others. It is understandable to feel pressed on every side when provision feels uncertain and when opposition feels personal and spiritual.
We want to stand with you in trusting that God sees every detail, both the daily need for work and income and the deeper desire to see Christ honored. In times when concerns about spiritual opposition grow strong, we have found it helps to avoid two extremes, either dismissing the reality of evil or becoming consumed by it, and instead to keep our focus on walking faithfully with Christ each day, staying rooted in prayer, in fellowship and in honest work.
One practical step that may help you find steadier ground is to bring the concerns about the church opening to one or two mature, trusted leaders outside the immediate conflict, sharing facts calmly and in writing and asking for their prayerful wisdom on next steps. For your business, continuing steady diligence while also seeking wise counsel about provision can bring both peace and clarity as you pray.
Father, in Jesus name we bring this family before you. Cover them with your protection, guard their peace and joy, provide for their daily needs according to your wisdom, and lead the steps regarding the new church so that your name is honored and many may know your grace. Give them discernment, calm hearts and trust in your sovereign care. Amen.

Beloved of All
Your burden has been laid before the Lord and we join our hearts with yours in prayer to our gracious Father through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We thank God with you that it is He who has sustained you from your first breath until now, and that every good gift comes from His hand. We have carried your requests for daily provision in your business, for the protection of your household, and for the opening of the newly built house of prayer, before the throne of grace.
Concerning your business and your need for work and income, we pray that the Lord who gives you power to get wealth would provide for your daily bread according to His wisdom and goodness. Remember the word we have often preached, if you make your own business God's business, you will do your business well. We pray not merely for riches, but that your labour may be honest, diligent, and consecrated to the Father's business, that with whatever prosperity He grants you may be useful in your generation and the father of help to perishing souls. May He keep you from the snare of living wholly for self under the plea of providing for your family, and keep you walking in the appointed ways where His promise holds, for you will always need Divine and angelic keeping, and this protection is perpetual as well as personal, for He shall give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways.
Concerning your enemies and those who hinder the gospel, we pray that the Lord would break down everything which sets itself up in opposition to Him. From the time when Satan fell, God's purpose has been to cast down lofty imaginations that exalt themselves against Him. We ask that as it is written, all they that were incensed against His cause shall be ashamed and confounded, they shall be as nothing, as in Isaiah 41. Yet we pray this not from a spirit of vengeance, for vengeance belongs to the Lord, but that evil counsels would be brought to nothing, that secret plans and every demonic work, every form of witchcraft and darkness, would be utterly broken by the power of the cross. Christ has triumphed over principalities and powers, and they who are in Christ need not fear the worker of magic, for greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. We pray that the fire of which our Lord spoke, I am come to send fire on the earth, and what will I if it be already kindled, would indeed be kindled in that new church and in every place, that it may be a Holy Spirit church, steadfast, devout, obedient and joyful, to which the Lord adds daily the saved, such as should be saved.
We pray for that congregation and for the minister of whom you speak, that God would frustrate every evil agenda and turn hearts to truth, that the doors may be opened without let or hindrance for the preaching of Christ crucified, and that the increase of the Church may be the increase of souls born into the kingdom, which is the true prosperity of Zion.
And for your family, your children, your peace and joy, we pray the keeping power of the Holy Spirit. May He who is the standing miracle and strength of His Church rest upon your household, that you may eat your meat with gladness and continue steadfast in faith and prayer, knowing that you are kept not by your own strength but by Him who neither slumbers nor sleeps.
We commend you to Him who is able to keep you from falling. May the Lord grant you contentment with godliness, deliverance from every evil work, and a heart wholly given to His glory, until He brings you to the Church above which shall never decrease.
In the name of Jesus Christ our only Saviour and Advocate we pray, Amen.

Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your urgent petition has been heard in the church, and we join you in thanking God who has sustained you by His great grace from your first cry until now, for every breath is from Him.
We pray with you for your family, your children, your business and your ministry, and for the opening of the newly built church that perishing souls might hear the gospel and be saved through Jesus Christ alone, for there is no other name by which we are saved. In this we rejoice at your desire that the mind of Christ be fulfilled and that His fire be kindled on the earth as He said, I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled. That fire is the love of God and the truth of the gospel, and we pray it may burn in your hearts and in that new house of prayer, not as destruction of people, but as light that drives away darkness.
You ask for more work and daily income and for prosperity and wealth to be protected from witchcraft and black magic and secret plans. Hear what the Scriptures teach us. It is God who is the cause of all good things, and as the earth brings forth herbs meet for those who till it, it receives blessing from God, not merely from the hands of the laborer. So we ask God to give you what is needful for health and for the good of your household and for the work of the gospel, and to make you a good steward of what He provides. Do not make provision for the flesh to fulfill its lusts by going beyond what is necessary, but seek to have your needs met for health and service, and spend your chief industry on spiritual things. This present life is like a sleep, and riches gained only for vanity are like riches in a dream that vanish when we awake. Rather, let your income be as a fountain, and be willing to share with the poor and to store up treasure in heaven, for that is true prosperity.
You ask that God would fight your enemies and that those who hinder the gospel, including the minister in charge and others in the church, would be utterly destroyed, and you cite Isaiah where God says all who rage against you shall surely be ashamed and disgraced. We do pray that every evil agenda, every demonic work, every act of witchcraft and deceit be brought to nothing and burnt up in the name of Jesus Christ, for His enemies, which are unbelievers and the demons themselves, shall indeed be put under His feet. Yet Scripture says He sat down at the right hand of God from henceforth expecting till His enemies be put under His feet, and He waits for the sake of the faithful who are still to be gathered. Therefore we do not pray for the destruction of persons, but for the destruction of evil works and for the repentance of those who do them.
Learn how much you gain by bearing meekly the spiteful acts of those who grieve you. By loving your enemies you deliver your own soul from sin, you gain fortitude and patience and mildness, and you are freed from anger and the despondency that follows it. We punish ourselves when we hate others, and we benefit ourselves when we love them. He who does not know how to hate will not know how to grieve without cause, but will enjoy peace and ten thousand blessings. So pray not with hatred, but pray that God would soften hearts, grant repentance, and remove discord.
Take heed also about the division in the church. Nothing so provokes the anger of God as the tearing of His Body, and nothing so divides the church as love of power. If that new building was raised to be a church, let it not become a house of worldly business and quarreling. In former days houses were churches, now the church is become a house where the business of the marketplace is brought in and God is not heard. While God is speaking, we must not bring in contrary things and make discord. And when you go out from the harbor of the church into the forum of public business and cares at home, you will face greater waves, so learn peace within the harbor first. Even if you should suffer as a martyr, that blood could not wash out the sin of dividing the church which Christ bought with His own blood. Seek reconciliation, speak truth with gentleness, and let the governors and the governed seek unity.
For your children and your household, remember that God will protect them better than any father if you instill in them the fear of God from their first youth. That fear is a wall that cannot be broken. When the guard is seated within the heart, outward contrivances are not needed, but without Him all our plans are vain.
Therefore we pray thus:
Almighty God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we thank You for sustaining this family by Your grace. Grant them daily bread sufficient for their needs, bless the work of their hands, and make them generous stewards. Frustrate every secret plan and every demonic work against them, and let no weapon of witchcraft or malice prosper, but let Your protection be over their home. Put all spiritual enemies under the feet of Christ in Your time, and turn the hearts of those who hinder Your gospel, that they may repent and be joined together in unity. Let the church that has been built be opened for the salvation of souls, and let it be a house of prayer, not of strife. Kindle Your fire of love and holiness in them and through them. Keep their children in faith and love and sobriety, and guard their peace and joy in Christ. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who bore our infirmities and sat down at Your right hand, to whom be glory forever, Amen.
We pray with you for your family, your children, your business and your ministry, and for the opening of the newly built church that perishing souls might hear the gospel and be saved through Jesus Christ alone, for there is no other name by which we are saved. In this we rejoice at your desire that the mind of Christ be fulfilled and that His fire be kindled on the earth as He said, I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled. That fire is the love of God and the truth of the gospel, and we pray it may burn in your hearts and in that new house of prayer, not as destruction of people, but as light that drives away darkness.

And when you go out from the harbor of the church into the forum of public business and cares at home, you will face greater waves, so learn peace within the harbor first. Even if you should suffer as a martyr, that blood could not wash out the sin of dividing the church which Christ bought with His own blood. Seek reconciliation, speak truth with gentleness, and let the governors and the governed seek unity.
For your children and your household, remember that God will protect them better than any father if you instill in them the fear of God from their first youth. That fear is a wall that cannot be broken. When the guard is seated within the heart, outward contrivances are not needed, but without Him all our plans are vain.
Therefore we pray thus:
Almighty God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we thank You for sustaining this family by Your grace. Grant them daily bread sufficient for their needs, bless the work of their hands, and make them generous stewards. Frustrate every secret plan and every demonic work against them, and let no weapon of witchcraft or malice prosper, but let Your protection be over their home. Put all spiritual enemies under the feet of Christ in Your time, and turn the hearts of those who hinder Your gospel, that they may repent and be joined together in unity. Let the church that has been built be opened for the salvation of souls, and let it be a house of prayer, not of strife. Kindle Your fire of love and holiness in them and through them. Keep their children in faith and love and sobriety, and guard their peace and joy in Christ. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, who bore our infirmities and sat down at Your right hand, to whom be glory forever, Amen.
