Topic: STARTING WELL AND ENDING WELL
Content:
*2 Chronicles 24:1-2* - “Joash was *seven years old when he became king*, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba. Joash *did what was right* in the *sight of the Lord* *all the days of Jehoiada the priest*.”
King Joash, who was seven years old when he became king, started well (in the spirit) but ended in apostasy (in the flesh).
*1 Peter 2:9* - “But you are a chosen generation, *a royal priesthood*, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light”
We have the *Royal Priesthood mantle.* Evidence of power of intercession in the marketplace.
Prayer Points:
*Prayer Point 1*
Father, I obtain grace to start well, in every area of life. Help me to keep my eyes on Jesus the author and the finisher (perfecter) of my faith.
*Luke 8:22-24* - “Now it happened, on a certain day, that *He got into a boat with His disciples.* And He said to them, *“Let us cross over to the other side of the lake.”* And they launched out. But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a *windstorm* came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!”
*Prayer Point 2*
Father, I receive grace to maintain in the middle. When I’m caught in the eye of the storm, grant me the peace that surpasses all human understanding. Empower me to walk in faith to speak to the spirit of the storm (spiritual dimensional) and so that the wave (physical dimension) can subside.
*Galatians 3:1-3* - “O foolish Galatians, *who hath bewitched you*, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? *having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”*
*Prayer Point 3*
Father, I receive wisdom and discernment to recognise the attack of the kingdom of darkness. Let your light so shine in my world that darkness is unable to comprehend it. I declare God’s word, “And they overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” I declare “I receive the grace to finish well in Jesus name.”
