As the rest of the World, gathered in club houses and Hotels to drink the last drop as they came to the end of the year 2008 with a shout and blast of fireworks, we were in church praying and rejoicing in the presence of God.
Multitudes gathered at Revival church by 7:00 p.m. and started to pray and make intercession. We first thanked God for his goodness that led us through the year 2008, before we started to make prayer requests for the coming year.Different people were praying for different needs. I was amazed when one lady told me later that she was praying that her son gets a sponsor for his education in 2009!
But collectively, we interceded for our nation and for our community that the will of God will be done and God's kingdom will come.
We also prayed for personal break blessings and individual victory in the coming year.
As we prayed, the Lord spoke to us by his Spirit that 2009 will be a year of the fulfillment of God's promises to his children. We then begun to claim the promises of God according to his word.
By the time it struck Midnight, we were all soaked in the presence of God, declaring great things in prayer, praising and glorifying the name of the Lord.
Moments later, we called off the prayer meeting, since we had to come to church the following morning for thanksgiving service.
Happy New year all our friends. may the new year bring you joy and blessings and the fulfillment of God's promises in your life.
God bless you!
