Friday Prayer

Happy New Year! I know that a lot of things happened in 2020. But it was a year of clarity. A year we saw things the way we have to see them the way they should be. I am excited for 2021 and I thank every individual and new faces speaking and listening to me with open ears.

One of my favorite scriptures in the Bible is Deuteronomy 8:18 which says:

“But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today”

Moses once talked to the Israelites and told them to remember the Lord. We always have to remember that everything that we have came from the Lord, our God. That is why I am not using the word “self-made”. Everything that I do and I have is not possible, if not given by God.

Deuteronomy 8:19 says:

“And if you forget the LORD your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I solemnly warn you today that you shall surely perish”

When we become successful, like in business, we tend to forget to remember the journey and how we started. We forget to thank the Lord who gave us the techniques. I can still remember when I called to the Lord because I didn't know how to do this and that. God opened the door for me to learn. To be consumed with money and growth leads to destruction. We have to fix our eyes to God and everything will fall into place.

Mistakes are part of the journey and you should never lose sight. We have to know how to read the manual and learn rather than figuring things out on our own that consumes so much time. Seek the Lord and you will be directed. As Proverbs 3:5-6 says:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths”

There are people who have been called to business because the seed sown needs to go back to the Kingdom. We have to share what we have and give it back to the Lord.

I thank God for the mercy. Commit to the Lord this 2021. Your business is His business and you are a vessel to complete a mission. You have to surrender yourself.

I thank God for allowing us to see another year and letting us value life. Lord, continue to use us and let us understand that it is our ministry to do business.

I am praying to the Lord to help those in business. Begin to purge all the things that You are not. Give us divine cleansing for this year by uprooting all the negativities and by dismantling the power of our enemies.

You have to remember that you are worthy of everything.

Pour unto us the understanding, wisdom, love, and mend all the broken hearts and relationships in business and in our personal life. Purify our hearts and let us hear the tongue of the learned. Bless every part of our body that we use in business. Let us have a deeper intimacy with You.

Break the chains that are holding us back and I thank you for the immunity to criticism.

Commit your time to the Lord and always pray. This is your season! Allow God to direct your paths.

And for every individual, I pray to the Lord, to close the doors that should not be opened, enlarge territories, and bless everyone with overflowing blessings.

AMEN.

Thank you for listening!

God bless,

But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. 2And he prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster. Jonah 4:1-2 ESV

In this chapter of the book of Jonah, he was upset because God forgave the Ninevites, who were enemies of Israel. In his anger, he told God, he’d rather die.

In reality, we often refused to forgive others there since, especially those who committed against us, we were often reluctant to show kindness to someone who hurt us, we felt what Jonah felt but Jonah knew how merciful God is.

Forgiveness and mercy are the hardest things for us human to give even to those we love, what more to our enemies but this is God’s way, He has always had a heart for the world, 

This passage of Jonah taught us God’s children do not have the right to be angry about His plans. We do not need to agree but to obey even if his plans do not in line with our plans or our beliefs, even he plans to love your enemy.

Do not question God’s method or His plan, they are good even if we do not agree or understand.  God has always extended love, love, and mercy to all people. We must see the bigger picture of what God is doing, humble ourselves, and submit our lives to Him. 

Be blessed,

For me, Christmas has always been the culmination and great positive ending of the year. No matter how hard 2020 has been, let us not forget to see the blessings that we received even in the time of the pandemic.

I really feel strong in my heart right now to say a prayer over businesses, health, wealth, and individuals.

First of all, I thank God for the mercy, grace, peace and protection. For keeping us here.

I pray to the Lord God to strengthen business owners and give them divine clarity for 2021.

I pray to the Lord to remove all obstacles and begin to purge all the things that You are not. To uproot addiction and all the negativities.

I pray to the Lord to open up heaven and pour out blessings, give boldness to business owners, mend their hearts, and help us all to understand.

Lord, let us always be reminded that you have the power to produce wealth and expose Satan's plans for our safety.

I pray for the healing of those who are sick. Allow their organs to function well and send your people, Lord to heal those who have medical conditions. Send your people, Lord, to those who are under surgery and operation.

Through our faith, we can move mountains — of infirmities and diseases.

Lord, move to the lives of your people. Bring peace and comfort to those who have lost their loved ones.

Lord, send peace and wisdom to every parent and let us understand our children. Parenthood is a wonderful assignment. We have to equip our children with the ways of the Lord.

Lord, remove all people that are not supposed to be in the lives of our children.

Lord, continue to give us joy and peace.

In the Mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

Thank you so much for tuning in! See you all every Monday at 9am PST.

God bless,

Jonah 3: 1-3 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah, a second time. Go to the great City of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you. Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Niniveh was a large City; it took three days to go through it. 

We all know that Nineveh, one of the great cities of the Assyrians, has fallen under the judgement of God because of their wickedness. Jonah the first time ran away from God but came back after being in the belly of the fish God appointed to swallow him up for 3 days.

God is a God of second chance. Here we see the graciousness and patience of God with us sinners. God knows what is best for us. When we struggle with having His heart for all people, his heart helps us find our way back.

God Bless,

But the Lord sent a great fish to swallow Jonah, and he remained in the belly of the first three days and three nights. Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, from the belly of the fish. Jonah 2:1-2

Jonah cried out to the Lord from the belly of the great fish. He acknowledged his condition and his needy state, and his desire to return with the Lord. He knew deep inside that the Lord, alone, can save him and he did when the great fish vomited him alive.

We cannot escape from the Lord, he sees us, everything that we do. He hears the cries of his children. Yes, He sometimes put us in a difficult situations but those situations were created to change us and to make us good.

Yes, we are sinful, we make mistakes along the way but we can always return to Him, our Lord is merciful and He will hear us. We are nothing without Him.

Reference Scripture:

Jonah 1:3 – But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa, and he found a ship going to Tarshish, so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.

Jonah was a prophet who came from Galilee and lived in town near Nazareth, he was called by God and commissioned to rise up and go to the great City of Nineveh, for the wickedness of the city and come up before the Lord. He did not like his assignment, and so fled away from the presence of the Lord. But even from hiding, God found him.

We should obey God no matter what, no matter how unprepared you are, God will never ask you to do something if he knows you cannot do it. God has created us and he knows how to convey his message to us.

When God gives us instructions it is because when he chooses because he's already seeing as doing the thing that he chooses as to do .

If we follow God’s directions then we’ll be happy, live longer and lack nothing that is good and be successful even if we feel we are not equipped to do something he asks. 

Be blessed,

2nd Samuel 13-18 David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die.

1 Sam 13:14; Acts 13:22 14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought out a man after his own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”

David was a man after God’s own heart in that he was committed to God’s ways and demonstrated fidelity to God’s Law. However, David was far from morally pure. He was a murderous adulterer (2 Sam 11). He killed Uriah the Hittite, and committed adultery with Bathsheba, Uriah’s wife. 

What defines us is the way we come out of that mistake, what we learn from it and how we change ourselves from the lessons learned.

Never feel disqualified from getting in the presence of God when you make a mistake. Never forget, we’re human, and as human beings we make mistakes. Repent, and move on and never forget that your mistake doesn’t disqualify you from receiving love from God.

Be blessed,

Reference Scripture:

And the Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes and brought him down to Gaza and bound him with bronze shackles. And he ground at the mill in the prison. Jdg 16:21 ESV

Samson's story is an incredible story of how the enemy can use people in your life to try to take you out. God warned Samson multiple times that he would be deceived, but he didn't heed to the warnings because he was so jaded by Delilah.

Beware of your Delilah. A “Delilah” comes in many forms…

• A friend
• A spouse
• Family member
• Business partner

The purpose of a “Delilah” is to strip away the anointing God has on your life, and plunder your blessings!

We are to pray and as God to expose the plans of that individual in our lives, remove anything that would hinder you from heeding the warning signs, and stop sharing everything with everybody.

Stand firm and know that God is merciful, and loving.

Be blessed,

Hebrews 12:15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” us-rings up and cause trouble, and by it many become defiled;

Bitterness is the root of so many things. It's a hidden open door people don't even know about. We must forgive, let go, and renounce any dealings with bitterness in Jesus name!

Be blessed,
