Joshua 7: 1, 11- 18, Revelation 2: 1- 7, Ephesians 5: 21- 25
The accursed thing - sin will not make you as an individual to be filled with all the fullness of God and the aftermath is that it will lead to your destruction like Achan and all that he had. What is the accursed thing in your life, household, family, tribe and nation? Please cry to the Lord for yourself and all that is yours.
- Lord, thank You for loving and giving Yourself for me (church) Ephesians 5: 25.
- Thank you for Your coming, death, suffering, leaving all to save me.
- Let all Your suffering, death find expression and meaning in me and all that concerns me.
- We want to be able to face our enemies, take the battle to the enemies gates. But, if the accursed thing is present in me, my household, family, tribe and nation, it makes us turn our backs before the enemies. Thus, we become prey to them. What is it that God have against me, somewhat or accursed thing in my life, household, family, tribe, nation?
- Lord, have mercy on us. Destroy any accursed thing in us (Joshua 7:12). Destroy those sinful nature, tendencies that could make us turn back before the enemies.
- Please, Lord, I don’t want you to come to my nation, tribe, families, households and I in judgement rather, come in mercy (Joshua 7: 14).
- Please, Lord, don’t search us (me, my household, family, tribe and nation) for destruction rather search us for repentance and mercy (Joshua 7: 15).
- When the Lord comes, it is to judge and burn the carrier of the accursed thing Lord, I don’t to perish. Please, let none of my household become burn or go to hell because they fail to destroy sin – the accursed thing. Open our eyes to the accursed thing, be it hidden or open (Joshua 7: 15).
- Lord, forgive me where I have left You as my first love even though it seems as if I am working, patient and labouring (Revelation 2: 1 - 4).
- Help me remember where I have fallen from, where I have left You as my first love and started pursuing other things at the expense of my love for Christ Revelation 2: 5.
- Empty me of self-life and fill me with all the riches of Your fullness – repentance, righteousness, mercy, love, compassion, faith etc. Ephesians 3: 17.
- Let me be totally submissive, subject to Christ. It is out of my reverence first for Christ that I can submit to husbands and others. (Ephesians 5: 21, 24).
- Lord sanctify me and cleanse me by Your word so that I can become that glorious church without spot, wrinkle, or any such thing (accursed thing, somewhat etc.) Ephesians 5: 26-27).
- Lord, let the oneness you are longing for in the body of Christ be fulfilled in my local assembly (name of where you worship) John 17: 21 and 23. Take away disunity from my local assembly.
- Grant me confidence to know that this good work (salvation, repentance, etc.) you have started in my life, household, family, tribe, nation, church shall be accomplished until the day of our Lord Jesus, no matter what may be the present situations around my life and family members – Philippians 1:6.
Dear Lord, please come and search me now in mercy before it is too late!
