THANKSGIVING FAST FRIDAY FOR FIRSTBORNS
FRIDAY 30TH JULY 2021
THEME: THANKSGIVING FOR ANSWERED PRAYERS!
TEXT: 2 CHRONICLES 29:31 “Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near, and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD.” So the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.
Beautiful Friday beloved parent-intercessors. It’s the last Friday of July and time to specially wait on the LORD in appreciation for the lives and destiny-fulfilment of our firstborns and by extension our other children. The last Friday in the month is our Thanksgiving Fast Friday where we give GOD thanks for all the answers we have received from the prayers taken in the course of the month.
Today, I want us to note for action a very important spiritual discipline and arsenal that we will henceforth be engaging in addition to our fast, prayers, praises and thanksgiving every last Friday of the month. Each one is to come with a special thanksgiving seed and offering once a month as we come before the Father to thank Him for all He has done for us and particularly in the lives of our children while seeking His face in the course of the month. Please see again our key text for today, take a cue and give as the Spirit instructs you. Your willingness to bring a sacrificial offering to the LORD is key. It is not by compulsion. For those who have a witness in their spirit about this though, you cannot afford to ignore it.
This month, we have prayed and asked Father GOD for the following prayer requests for our children:
Week 1: GODLY COUNSEL, COUNSELLORS AND CIRCLE Week 2: GLORIOUS LEADING LIGHTS Week 3: VINDICATION Week 4: WALKING IN WISDOM CIRCLE
We will be deliberately thanking GOD for all these and more that He has done in the lives of our firstborns and by extension our other children. With these scriptures below and more that the Spirit highlights for us individually, let us give GOD thanks for all He has done for us and our children in the course of the month:
Jeremiah 30:19 “And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry; I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish(be few); I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.”* Amen and Amen!
Psalm 147:7 NKJV “Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; Sing praises to our God with the lyre,”
1 Chronicles 16:29 AMP “Ascribe to the Lord the glory and honor due His name; Bring an offering [of thanksgiving], and come before Him; Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.”
Revelation 7:12 AMP “saying, “ Amen! Blessing and glory and majesty and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might belong to our GOD forever and ever. Amen.”
Psalm 75:1 NKJV “We give thanks to You, O GOD, we give You thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.”
1 Corinthians 15:57 “But thanks be to GOD, who gives us the victory through our LORD JESUS CHRIST.”
• Let’s give GOD thanks for winning lasting victories for our children in the course of the month.
• Let us thank Him that He has made His name near to us and our children.
• Thank Him for the Godly counsels your children will give and receive in their lifetimes. Thank Him for Godly counsellors for your children. Bless His name for circles and relationships with Godly influence.
• Thank Him for establishing your children as glorious leading lights in their generation.
• Thank Him for vindicating your children and delivering them from the scourge of the tongues of men as well as making them victors and not victims in the journey of life.
• Let us thank Him also for making us revisit and drumming home last week the need for our children to be placed and operate within wisdom circles.
• Finaly, let’s thank Him for the privilege of being at our duty posts always and for progressively leading us as a community to His will per time.
Today again, as we engage at our duty posts as we have committed to doing every Friday, may the LORD accept our Thanksgiving praise, gratitude and sacrificial offerings and seeds Amen. By GOD’s grace, we will meet at the end of fast corporate fast breaking thanksgiving session by 6pm WAT. bit.ly/FastFridayFirstbornPrayers is our access code. See you then.
Let’s have a beautifully blessed weekend. I love and honour you!
