Stop the Angel of Death – 7- Day Prayer and Fasting to Command the Month of April

ANCHOR SCRIPTURE

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. – Isaiah 60:1-3

…..

On December 29, 2019, I held a Crossover service with our Church in Lagos. Before that day, I had gone before the Lord seeking direction for the year 2020. While in my study, the Holy Spirit brought Isaiah chapter 60 to my spirit. I didn’t see or perceive anything about the present Coronavirus, but I remember that the Lord spoke to me about darkness covering the earth. In my estimation, I interpreted it that we will continue to hear about the challenges that the earth is known for – deaths, terrorism, increase in all kinds of abuses, wars and threats of wars.

So on that December 29th crossover Sunday service, I preached from Isaiah 60. I assured our people that they shouldn’t be surprised when they see and hear of evil things happening.   I preached powerfully that many evil things will happen, but that we must not be worried. That even in them, we will arise and shine and excel. I assured our members of God’s protection as I preached and prayed.  We all shouted a big amen at the end of the service.

In January 2020, during our 21 days fasting and prayer program, we also prayed from that scripture. Towards the end of the 21 days fasting and prayer program, we held a 3-day revival titled, I Will Arise. Our father in the Lord, Bishop Mark Omonze, and I preached strongly on rising amid the darkness. It was a great program.

Before the crossover service, and the 21-day fasting and prayer, and the 3-day revival, I had already documented this direction in a book to keep the Church that I lead informed and focused on what the Lord is leading us for the year. I also published the prayer manual, I Will Arise, on Amazon on December 12, 2019.

In the manual, on Day 5 specifically, we prayed for safety. On that day, I mentioned the implication of Isaiah 60:2 (darkness shall cover the earth), and we prayed a lot of protection scriptures.

Yes, I did not imagine this present darkness (Coronavirus) ravaging the world at the moment during my waiting on the Lord and the crossover service in Church, and I am not trying to approve myself of anything. But you will agree with me that this plague is a gross darkness.

However, I am confident, and this is my message to you today, we will arise and shine no matter the darkness this year.

Yes, you will overcome. Though the darkness may seem deep, be encouraged, God knows about it. His light will still shine on you and your household, and you will end this year with testimony and praise.

Say amen.


LET’S SEND THIS ANGEL OF DEATH AWAY

Today, I call on you to join us in prayer as we declare a 7-day prayer for mercy and stopping the angel of death.

Yes, we have confessed and prayed Psalm 91, but we must come before God and cry out for mercy.

This is not only a time for positive declaration of faith. It is also a time to come to our knees and cry out to God for mercy and intervention.

It’s a time to say…

O Lord, have mercy. We repent of every sin that kept us away from You as a Church and as a nation. Please forgive us and heal our land.

Arise O LORD and stop the angel of death that is ravaging the land, in Jesus name.

Fasting Guide

Beginning today, April 1, 2020, we will be fasting for seven days to seek God against the angel of death.

There are different kinds of fasting. However, that is not the focus of this post. Whatever type of fasting you chose to do is excellent. What is important is that you realize the need to humble yourself before the Lord and pray this period.

  1. We come together in agreement. Thank you most powerful God. One thing we reflect on is Rest in this season.Therefore since the promise of entering His rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. It still remains that some will enter that rest and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of disobedience and so this is still a live promise (Heb4:1,6,5:5).The promise is not yet full filled. We have put our idols before God He is a jealous God.So through prayer let’s get back to that rest.

  2. Father God forgive us in the name of Jesus you said in your word going to 1st John 1:9 if we confess our sins you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Receive your forgiveness we forgive every person that has ever hurt us. By faith stop by feeling we released them we let them go now we receive your forgiveness.
    We receive our forgiveness in Jesus name and by the blood of Jesus we enter in by faith into the rest you have promised us. We thank you for the finished work of the cross Jesus Christ of Nazareth By His blood cleanse us from dead Works to serve the living God. Thank you Lord thank you Father in Jesus name amen
