And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; Acts 17:26
Acts 17:26
#1. Psalm 80:8 “Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it“.
- Heavenly Father. Thank you once again for bringing me out of darkness into the marvelous light of your presence in your kingdom.
- Thank you because you have not only determined my appointed time, But also set the bounds of my habitation according to your immeasurable wisdom and your perfect will.
- Thank you for planting me as a vine in your courts and for being our vinedresser.
#2. Psalm 80:9 “Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land“.
- King of Glory, Thank you for the space you have cleared for me and declaring your intention in Luke 19:13 that we “Occupy till I come“
- This season i engage the grace, favor and enabling power entrenched in your word to take deep root and fill the land.
- Through your grace, mercy and favor I shall take deep root Spiritually-Economically-Maritally-Socially this year even in spite of all that is going on with the corona virus and economic instabilities.
- If i have hitherto not begun to fill the land in any impactful way, then i agree with your perfect will and counsel and decree that i will grow exponentially to occupy much more of the space you have created for me and administer it in a kingdom-centric way that will be Christ exalting in Jesus name.
#3. Psalm 80:10 “The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.“.
- Everlasting King of Glory, this 2021 I speak forth in faith that all my actions and steps shall be blessed, Even to the point that I will overshadow things that seemed like insurmountable obstacles to me in previous years. My boughs shall flourish like the cedars of Lebanon.
#4. Psalm 80:11 “She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river“.
- Immutable God. You are the same one who granted the prayer of Jabez in 1 Chron 4:10. Through the light of your favor cause my sphere of dominion to extend from boundary to boundary in every facet of life.
#5. Ps 80:12 “Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?“.
- Ever Righteous God. Of a truth there are iniquities, trespasses and sins which i have committed in times past which may have caused my hedge to be broken. If there are any unconfessed or un-repented sins which are still active in my life make these known to me that I may confess and repent of them in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit bring true conviction into my heart concerning these.
- Thank you Lord Jesus for your shed blood and broken body on the cross which makes continuous atonement for me. In repentance I engage the atoning power in your shed blood and ask that you forgive me of these sins and trespasses.
- Lord repair for me every broken down hedge in my spiritual life, my marital life, my economic life and my social life which has been granting unfettered access to the stranger to pluck my fruits and blessings.
Having repaired the hedge, Holy Spirit help me maintain the boundaries of the Lord and walk obediently to His instructions and leadings in this year 2021. - Today drive out any strangers that have come in to make habitation within my borders and impoverish me much the same way Israel was impoverished by the Midianites in Judges 6:6
#6. Ps 80:13 “The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.“.
- Lion of the Tribe of Judah. I refuse to be prey to the boar out of the wood, and the wild beast of the field in any capacity and in any form or manifestation. Today rebuke their operations and activities within my boundaries in Jesus name.
- Holy Spirit help me to act in compliance with 1 John 5:18.
#7. Ps 80:14-15 “Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.“.
- Holy one of Israel. I am delighted to be like the vineyard of thy planting. Yet Lord do i long for thy quickening much the same way plants in the wilderness long for refreshing of the dew.
- This season look down behold this thy vine and visit me in thy mercy.
- Cause your face to shine upon me and bathe every facet of my life with the light of thine countenance.
- Thank you for the new year and new mercies.
- Even though the deep darkness appears to be covering the face of the people once more as declared in Isaiah 60, Heavenly Father let your glory shine over me, and over your church in the manner that will draw many men who sit in darkness to your light. For it is written, that If the son of man be lifted off the earth, He will draw many men unto Himself.
- I remain ever at thy service.
GLORY. HONOUR. POWER, MAJESTY. MIGHT. BE UNTO YOU FOREVER. AMEN.
