Final Call to Prayer
Dear Church Leaders and Prayer Warriors
I have been so overjoyed these last few months as I have discovered many praying churches in the Body of Christ and witnessed the unity among them. I believe with my whole heart that the prayer of Jesus Christ in John 17 is finally coming to pass. Many years ago, a dear friend had a very powerful vision of a giant figure of a man lying across the southern tip of Africa. This man was immobilised. His hands and legs were pinned down with ropes and hundreds of little demon spirits were busy hammering stakes into the ground, securing the ropes to prevent him from getting up. The Lord revealed that the giant was the Church. It was in a very lethargic state and it would require prayer and unity for it to rise up and break the bonds of powerlessness and inability.
ESTABLISHING A POWERFUL PRAYER STRATEGY
This letter will be going out to over 7,000 church leaders and I want to encourage as many churches as possible to pray for the upcoming elections. We, as a church, have launched several hundred prayer cells, as well as a powerful Saturday morning prayer meeting where hundreds of Christians gather weekly to pray for the nation. Our theme is 2 Chronicles 7:14 and we are trusting in the Lord for righteousness and justice to prevail, for healing to come in our land and for a godly government with godly Kingdom values to emerge.
PRAYING FOR FINANCIAL BREAKTHROUGH IN OUR LAND
This is the finest hour for the Church to fulfil its role and to be the light and the salt in a hopeless, helpless world, where everything appears to be failing. Every child of God can experience financial wellbeing, for our economy is not determined by this world and its failures, but by the Kingdom of God, by the Creator of all things. Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords and it is Him that we preach, bringing good news and salvation to all dimensions of life on earth.
I want to encourage every pastor, teacher and leader to take up the challenge! Let us lead this nation and its wonderful people into a time of soul-searching prayer and repentance, so that God can truly reign in our hearts and our nation. With weeks to the elections, let us not waste time, but gather the army of the Lord, put on the full amour of God and do some very serious intercession and spiritual warfare. Wherever possible, join with co-workers in prayer programmes and national prayer days to strengthen the flow of prayer. Pray, what I call, the “Royal Prayer” daily: “Thy will be done in South Africa”.
My prayer for every co-worker is that you will experience the fire of God’s Holy Spirit burning in your heart and ministry. I also pray that you will feel the same unction and desire that is in me and in many other pastors to pray down the power of God upon our nation in the months to come. South Africa is standing on the threshold of a mighty revival and we have it in our power to make it happen. There has been so many prophecies regarding this and I am preparing myself and the church to bring it to birth. Join me in this great time in history. Together let us make history and be God-pleasers and not man-pleasers.
Your servant in Christ
