Day 3 of Winners’ Chapel 21 Days Fasting & Prayer 2026:
Keeping the Fire Burning – Embrace Renewal, Raise Up in Strength, and Prevail Through Fervent Prayer for Open Doors and Supernatural Breakthroughs
Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, praise the Lord! We have triumphantly entered Day 3 of our transformative 21-Day Prayer and Fasting season at Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners’ Chapel), and what a glorious journey it has been so far. As the physical hunger pangs remind us of the deeper spiritual hunger God is eager to satisfy in our lives, let’s press on with unwavering determination. Remember, dear one, that the discomfort you feel today is a divine signal—your breakthrough is indeed closer than you think! The fire we ignited on Day 1 must keep burning brightly; don’t give up now, for the Lord who began this good work in you will perfect it (Philippians 1:6). As Bishop David Oyedepo has taught us, fasting is not just abstinence but a covenant platform for empowerment, revelation, and dominion in our year of “Open Doors 2026.”
In this in-depth guide for Day 3, we’ll draw from the Covenant Hour of Prayer session held this morning at Faith Tabernacle, Ota, where the focus was on revival, raising up from weakness, and prevailing in prayer with a “cry of faith.” We’ll extract and expand on the official prayer points for January 7, 2026, incorporate Bible teachings to deepen your understanding, provide personalized prayer points for you as a church member to pray during your fast today, and include kingdom advancement prayers to align with God’s mandate for supernatural church growth. This is your spiritual fuel to keep the fire burning—pray with passion, declare with authority, and watch God move mightily in your life, family, and the church. Let’s dive in, for “after two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight” (Hosea 6:2 NKJV). Hallelujah!
The Significance of Day 3: A Time of Revival, Raising Up, and Empowered Prayer
Day 3 in any fasting season is biblically symbolic of resurrection and new life, as seen in Hosea 6:2: “After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up.” This is the day where spiritual weakness from the initial fast begins to transform into supernatural strength, where dryness gives way to fresh fire, and where your prayers shift from routine to a fervent “cry of faith” that touches heaven. As taught in today’s Covenant Hour, prayer is not just words—it’s a heartfelt expression backed by unwavering belief (James 1:6). Doubt dilutes results, but faith-filled cries activate angels and command manifestations (Psalm 65:2; Matthew 7:7-8). In 2026, our year of “Open Doors,” Day 3 positions us for open heavens through revelation-driven church growth and personal victories. The physical hunger you’re feeling? It’s God’s way of awakening spiritual hunger—satisfy it with these prayers, and expect “strange packages” of wonders!
Covenant Hour of Prayer Points for January 7, 2026 (Day 3)
From this morning’s Covenant Hour of Prayer at Faith Tabernacle, Ota, here are the extracted points, declared with fervor and rooted in Scripture. Pray them repeatedly (3-7 times each) with holy aggression, personalizing them for your situation:
- Father, let there be a flow of ever-increasing revelation in this church all through this year leading to open doors order of supernatural church growth. (Acts 6:7 – “Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem.”) – This prays for fresh insights that attract multitudes, as revelation fuels growth.
- Father, destroy the gates of hell that may resist the continuous influx of abiding multitudes into this church. (Matthew 16:18 – “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.”) – Decree destruction over barriers hindering souls from coming and staying.
- Father, let your mighty presence remain evident in all our assemblies, thereby keeping the revival fire burning in our churches worldwide. (Zephaniah 3:17 – “The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”) – Invoke God’s tangible presence to sustain revival flames.
- Father, by the Holy Ghost heal me of every form of prayer infirmity so I can continue to prevail in my prayer life. (Romans 8:26-27 – “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”) – Pray for deliverance from prayer weaknesses like distraction or fatigue.
- Father, grant every worshipper an encounter with the power of your word at our midweek communion service tonight, resulting in ear-tingling testimonies. (2 Corinthians 3:18 – “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”) – Expect transformative Word encounters leading to testimonies.
- Personal supplications. (Isaiah 58:9 – “Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’”) – Bring your specific needs before God in faith.
These points emphasize supernatural church growth, destruction of hindrances, manifestation of God’s presence, healing from prayer infirmities, and encounters with God’s Word—aligning with the third day’s theme of revival and raising up.
Bible Teachings for Day 3: The Cry of Faith – Prevailing in Prayer for Breakthroughs
Today’s teachings from the Covenant Hour centered on “Praying to Get Results,” highlighting that effective prayer involves a “cry of faith”—an intense, heartfelt expression without doubt. Key Scriptures include:
- James 1:6: “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” Teaching: Doubt dilutes prayer; faith amplifies it. In fasting, your cry must be rooted in belief for results.
- Psalm 65:2: “O You who hear prayer, To You all flesh will come.” Insight: God hears every cry—make yours fervent. Like Hannah’s silent but passionate prayer (1 Samuel 1:13-18), your inner cry moves God.
- Matthew 7:7-8: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Application: Persistent, faith-filled asking during fasting opens doors. For Day 3, cry for revival from weakness—God raises up on the third day (Hosea 6:2).
These teachings encourage viewing fasting’s hunger as a catalyst for spiritual cries that birth testimonies.

- Lord Jesus, heal me of every prayer infirmity like distraction or doubt that hindered me in 2025; by the Holy Ghost, empower my cries with faith, as in Romans 8:26, making my intercessions effective for breakthroughs in finances and relationships today.
- O God of Open Doors, destroy every gate of hell resisting my progress, as declared in Matthew 16:18; let abiding multitudes of blessings, opportunities, and favor flow into my life uncontrollably during this fast.

Kingdom Advancement Prayers: Expanding God’s Territory in 2026
As Winners’ Chapel emphasizes supernatural church growth in 2026, incorporate these kingdom-focused prayers into your Day 3 fast:
- Father, let a flow of ever-increasing revelation flood our church this year, leading to open doors of supernatural growth and new branches worldwide, as in Acts 6:7, where the Word multiplied disciples.
- Lord, keep Your mighty presence evident in every assembly, sustaining the revival fire and drawing souls like magnets to Winners’ Chapel globally (Zephaniah 3:17).
- O God, destroy gates of hell resisting influx of multitudes into our churches; let abiding members multiply, filling seats and expanding Your kingdom (Matthew 16:18).
- Father, during this 21-day fast, empower every member for soul-winning; let kingdom advancement efforts bear fruit, adding daily to the church as in Acts 2:47.
