FOCUS ON THE WORD

 Proverbs 4:20-21

‘My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.’

Commonly today, many believers find it incredibly hard to maintain their focus on God’s Word. The constant distractions, pressures of life, and daily challenges often pull attention away from the scriptures, leaving room for doubt, fear, and confusion to creep in. Without a firm foundation in the Word, it’s easy to lose sight of God’s promises and fall prey to the enemy’s tactics.

From the opening scripture, we see four practical steps to help us stay focused on the Word. First, we must give daily attention to the scriptures, making it a priority. Next, we must incline our ears by intentionally seeking out and studying the Word. Third, we are warned not to let the Word depart from us, as Satan seeks to steal it through worries and challenges. Finally, we are called to meditate daily on the Word, as this keeps it deeply rooted in our hearts.

Make it a priority today to renew your commitment to studying, and meditating on the Word. By doing so, you open up yourself to accessing principles that unlock God’s plans, purposes, and provisions for your life. Hallelujah!

 Father, in the Name of Jesus, I ask for grace to apply my heart to the study of the Word, that I may be fully equipped to withstand all the wiles of the enemy in Jesus name.

PRAYER FOR THE NATION:

BARBADOS

The island is 95% Christian, with 61% being Protestant and 34% Anglican. Despite these high numbers, the Church in Barbados sees itself in the throes of spiritual decline, with church attendance decreasing and materialism increasing. In addition, denominational leaders and independent churches lack trust and unity. Acceptance and practice of the occult is growing, and immorality is becoming increasingly prevalent, even in the church. The nation’s youth are in a precarious position, facing many temptations from an increasingly immoral society.

PRAYER FOR THE NATION:

Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for followers of cults and false religions to be confronted by the true, living and loving God in  Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR THE LEADERS:

Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray that you would surround every leader with wise counsel, that they would be humble and kind, patient and loving through their actions and words in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR SOULS/REVIVAL:

 Father, in the name of Jesus, we ask that you grant unto the unsaved in our nation, the grace to turn their backs on falsehood and its bondage, and to accept the light and life that Christ gives, in Jesus name.
