TOPIC: LOOK UP AND LOOK UP!
Basic Scripture: 1 Peter 2: 1-9
The National Day of Prayer in an annual day of observance held on the first Thursday of May, designed by the United States Congress, when people are asked “to turn to God in prayer and meditation. Each year since its inception, the president has signed a proclamation, encouraging all Americans to pray on this day.” Don’t miss – ODM 17 October 2018

The modern law formalizing it annual observance was enacted in 1952, although earlier days of fasting and prayer has been established by the Second Continental Congress from 1775 and until 1783, and by President John Adams in 1798 and 1799. Thomas Jefferson established a day of prayer and thanksgiving, but this occurred while he served as governor of Virginia. The constitutionality of the National Day of Prayer was unsuccessfully challenged in the court by the Freedom From Religion Foundation after their first attempt was unanimously dismissed by a federal appellate court in April 2011.
Funny, but it happened and goes to show that in the affairs of men and when all efforts have been made, God is the final solution!
Do you know that the Bible calls you a nation? 1 Peter 2: 9 “But you are chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people: that ye should show forth the praises of Him who has called you ….” You are a nation! As far as God is concerned, you are bigger than America! You have a wonderful deposit of ‘mineral’, ‘petroleum’ and spiritual resources; you are loaded, blessed and talented’ you are richer than the richest oil field of Saudi Arabia or Kuwait.

So, if physical nations are beginning to declare prayers and looking up to the hills (God) to handle their problems, then you must do exactly the same! Refuse to cry or get depressed! Refuse to pity yourself in crisis! Continue to pray and wait upon the Lord! Your last January prayer/fasting programme shall not be in vain! Get and continue to use the booklet, “WAR AGAINST HAMAN HERE” to pray without ceasing! The eagle that soars in the upper air does not worry itself as to how it is to cross rivers. Seek the face of the Lord. In your due season, you will cross mountains and mount up on high.

1. Pray about today’s word generally as it has touched you.
2. As 2018 ends, ask for more grace to seek the face of God afresh.
3. Lord God, I am a holy nation. I am a great soul. Lord, like the eagle, let my life soar above rivers of obstacles, trials or enemies. O Lord, send a new prayer fire upon me. O Lord, revive me by fire. Lord, visit me and make me an envy of other nations (lives) in Jesus name (Pray it seriously).
