Focus: My Prayer For You!

Text: 1Chron.29:12

"Both riches and honour come of thee…"

O Lord, I come before you on behalf of Your people! I thank You for Your abundant and tender mercies to Your people. You make Your people encounter Your fresh and brand new faithfulness every day, and we acknowledge that on daily basis Your compassion never fails.

Thank You, Lord, for Your healing power and sustaining grace!

Lord, You are the source of riches and honor! You are the giver of good and perfect gifts. I pray that You help Your people to access in its entirety the riches of Your grace (Eph.1:7). Open up to us Your storehouse and grant us the privilege of accessing the exceeding riches of Your grace, the unsearchable riches of Christ, and indeed the riches of Your glory (Eph.2:7; 3:7,16).

As you enable Your people to commit their resources into the work of Your kingdom, let them experience Your heavenly supplies according to Your riches in glory (Phil.4:19). O Lord, grant Your people the full assurance of understanding and all the riches that flow from it (Col.2:2). Make Your people know the riches of this mystery of the gospel (Col.1:27), and help them to know what is "the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints" and "the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering…" (Eph.1:18; Rom.2:4). Make known to Your people "the RICHES OF HIS GLORY on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory" (Rom.9:23).

O Lord, bring Your people to the level where we can exclaim in wonder: "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!" (Rom.11:33).

Lord, expose Your people to "true riches" according to Luke 16:11! Make Your people appreciate and treasure true riches. Help us to know and experience the riches that result from a liberal heart (2Cor.8:2), and Lord, use us to impact the world with the riches that flow from Your throne. 

We humbly accept our sacred roles as dispensers and distributors of Your kingdom wealth in the world, and by Your grace we shall faithfully discharge our responsibility, win souls into Your kingdom, and bring glory to Your name, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen!!!
