CHARISMA DAILY DEVOTIONAL
WEDNESDAY 30 SEPTEMBER 2020
KEEP THE FIRE BURNING
Scriptural Reading: Lev. 6: 8-13
The Lord spoke to Aaron and his children concerning the fire on the altar. He specifically stated that the fire on the altar must not be put out. Priests were required to put fire to it every day and keep it burning day and night. When our prayer life is hot the devil runs away and God is glorified. We all have our private altars whether we have physical signs or not. This altar may be your personal or family prayer life but you must keep the fire burning on it. It is time to light up the fire and keep it burning again if it has been quenched by whatever circumstance.
Remember you are a royal priesthood. You have a duty to offer sacrifices of prayers and thanksgiving on this altar. You have to sow seeds, give alms, and bring in tithes and offerings upon the altar of the Most High. Apart from those words we speak during prayers, there are also acts of prayers; our lifestyle.
MEDITATION:
How can I keep the fire burning on my altar?

DAILY PROPHETIC PRAYERS
Oh Lord God of power and might we praise and thank you for your goodness and mercy in my life. I acknowledge that you are the only one true God and the Almighty who can do all things, who knows all things and who is everywhere at the same time.
I beseech you, Lord, to show me your mercy and forgiveness, I have sinned against you through my thoughts, words, and actions. Through your sacrificial death on the cross, I receive mercy and boldness to approach your throne of grace.
Let the precious blood of Jesus wash me and make me whiter than snow. Heal me oh Lord by your wounds that I may be restored.
I receive your Grace to rise above every limitation.
I receive your Grace to move from Glory to Glory. I proclaim my total freedom in the mighty name of Jesus.
I shall testify the goodness of God in the land of the living in the most powerful name of Jesus.
I shall not die but live to declare the goodness of God, I shall not be put to shame for the Lord is by my side. I shall glorify the Lord all the days of my life.
PRAYER TO ST MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL AGAINST THE FORCES BEHIND COVID - 19.
Holy Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebukes him, we humbly pray, and do you, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
WE PRAY WITH ST JUDE THE PATRON OF DIFFICULT CASES AGAINST THE SPREAD OF CORONA VIRUS
O most holy apostle, Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honoureth and invoketh thee universally, as the patron of hopeless cases and things almost despaired of.
Pray for me, who am so miserable. Make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded to thee, to bring visible and speedy help where help was almost despaired of.
Come to mine assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolation and succour of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly...
(insert your prayer request here, especially the menace of COVID - 19 Pandemic)
...and that I may praise God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity.
I promise thee, O blessed Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour thee as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to thee. Amen.
