Colossians 4:2 (KJV) – “Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving”
Prayer is more than a mere practice; it is the right and privilege granted to the righteous to create, discuss, and enforce the will of God, by the sufficient release of eternity through the Holy ghost. It is a powerful avenue for showing dependency on God which enables Him to release His eternal purposes here on earth. It is a partnership that drives our faith in God, aligns our hearts with His, and activates His power in our lives and the world.
True perseverance in prayer requires faith, patience, and an unshakable trust in the Word of God. There will be moments when answers seem delayed or His presence feels distant, but persistence ensures our connection remains strong. Through persistent prayer, we grow spiritually, become more attuned to God’s will, and make room for His interventions. It is in these moments of perseverance that breakthroughs happen, strongholds are broken, and the impossible becomes possible. Hallelujah!
Make the decision today to embrace a lifestyle of prayer. Dedicate time daily to seek God’s face, pour out your heart, and listen for His direction. Trust that your prayers are heard, and even now, He is orchestrating answers and victories beyond what you can imagine. As you persevere, you will witness His hand move mightily in your life and circumstances. Say Amen to this!

PRAYER FOR A NATION
CAPE VERDE
Catholicism had a privileged position until Cape Verde’s Independence, and while nearly 90% of nationals still identify themselves as Catholic, the Church is synchronized with superstitions and African fetishism. Cape Verdeans have also had a longstanding Nazarene presence, and Pentecostals have seen increase in numbers, nearly 6% annually. Local leaders are needed to rise up and disciple others as geographical isolation and a unique dialect have prevented spiritual growth amongst many national believers.
PRAYER FOR THE NATION
Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray that intercessors like Prophetess Anna will arise in this land, to enforce Your will in the churches, that there be no room for darkness to thrive in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR UNITY IN THE CHURCH
Father, we pray that You expose and consume every wolf parading as sheep in the churches causing divisions, contentions, and strife, bring them to justice oh Lord, that your people may cease from erring against You in Jesus name.

Father, we ask that give unto the unsaved the strength and willpower to overcome strongholds of iniquity and transgression hindering them from fully embracing Your light, show them mercy oh Lord and deliver them, that may come into Your light in Jesus Name.
