FAST FRIDAY FOR FIRSTBORNS
FRIDAY 3RD DECEMBER 2021
THEME: GENERATIONAL MERCY
TEXT: PSALM 23:6 “Surely Your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”
Blessings beloved parent-intercessors. Welcome to the first Friday in the 12th month of year 2021. December is an unusual month. It is the final month of the year. It is a month filled with joy, hope and many of Abba’s goodness. The best is usually saved for last hence the month promises to be a time of deep spiritual timeouts of intense corporate prayers. GOD our Father is so good and mindful of our children and what better way to start the month and season of joy than to come to our Father on the aegis of His mercy.
The mercy of GOD is His compassion or forgiveness shown towards us when it is within His power to punish us yet He refrains from dealing us a bad hand. Our GOD is a truly merciful GOD and we want to bring our firstborns and by extension our other children before Him. Let us imagine ourselves like the mother of the Zebedee brothers whose mother brought a request on their behalf to JESUS despite that the brothers themselves were direct disciples of JESUS and had access to Him.
Therefore, I want us to ask Abba for generational mercy to be activated over our lineages through the destinies of our firstborms. Sometimes the reason GOD makes us go through things is just so another would not have to go through same. Because we are generational beings, we want to bring our individual lineages as well as whatever is representative of us (of our DNA) before GOD, asking Him to show mercy to us and wipe out every negative generational pattern.
Our key text for meditation and prayers today is Psalm 23:6 “Surely your goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”
Life as we know it is unending and until our LORD JESUS comes back as He promised, there is continuity in some form somewhat. People’s mantles will pass from one generation to another because there cannot be a void and so for us, we want to ask the LORD for generational mercy today so that our firstborns and by extension our other children will continue to be recipients of GOD’s Mercy unendingly.
As we go through our day, let us please declare Psalm 23:6 over our firstborns and of course our other children by extension. GOD’S ways are simple and mysterious. By this key He has given us today, we will be strengthening and fortifying our chdren’s destinies from the wrath of the accuser, causing them to triumph over everything that had been preventing them from accessing the mercy of GOD and men before now. Halleluyah.
Let us be sensitive today more than ever! Remember, our LORD JESUS rose on the 3rd day hence there is an assurance for our victory and answers over our requests this third day of the month for it is a day of Victory. Please let us be sensitive to take note of what the Spirit may be showing or saying to us. Do not think some things are not related but let us be willing to hear the Holy Spirit speak to us. Let us also make use of other scriptures that will come as we engage GOD in the place of prayers.
To our duty posts beloved parent-intercessors. May the LORD heed us as we seek His face with our prayers and fasting today Amen. Please remember to pray in the spirit as well as in your understanding as you meditate on and pray with today’s scripture. Let us soak ourselves and all that the LORD has committed to us in these life-giving words.
