PRAYING THROUGH THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2010
February was named after the Latin word “Februum” meaning purification. It was so named after the purification ritual “Februa” held on February 15th in the old Roman calendar. It is the second (2nd) month according to the Gregorian calendar. Following the Jewish civil calendar February is the sixth (6th) month and the twelfth (12th) month, (the month Adar) according to their sacred calendar.
February is the shortest month of the year with 28 and a quarter days. In “ordinary years”, it approximates to 28 days. After every 4 years, the quarter days add up to one full day. On each leap year therefore, February records 29 days. The next leap year will be in 2012.
Praying Into the month
- Dedicate and devote all the moments of the month to the Lord for His use and pleasure. (Lev 27:28)
- Instruct the heavens to declare to the hearing of every people group on earth that this month is the month of establishing the rule of God in the lives of men. (Ps 19:1-6)
- The first 3 months signify a season of reflection. January is the 1st month of the Gregoarian calendar, February is the 12 month of the Jewish sacred sacred calendar, and March is the 1st month of the sacred Jewish calendar. It’s a season of endings and beginnings. Take time to reflect on your walk with God so far. How are you doing with regard to His redemptive purpose for your life? How far have you walked in your destiny in Him? Are you clear on what His way forward is for you? Take time to think about these things and put them to prayer. (Psa 61:1, Psa 5:1-3?)
Purim
- The Jews celebrate Purim in the month of Adar (twelfth month) which is the commemoration of the victory of Queen Esther, Mordecai and the rest of the Jews, over the Haman plot to exterminate them in Babylon. The month Adar, was once a period the enemy planned mass destruction of God’s people (Est 3:13) The devices of the enemy has not changed so celebrate the goodness of the Lord for faithfully preserving your life, family, marriage, business, church, nation and continent from the plans of the enemy. (Proclaim Ps 107)
The tongue
- Life and death are in the power of your tongue. You have the authority to name the situations and circumstances you have prophetically. Just the same way that God brought the creatures he created to Adam to see whatever he would call them, and whatsoever Adam called them, is the name still in use today. (Gen 2:19-20) Ask the Lord to put a guard over your mouth so that you will have only a confession that brings life (Ps. 141:3-4)
- God said He is refining the confessions of His people in this season so they will call the situations and circumstances He allows into their lives, the very names He wants them to call them by, because He is filling their mouths with His words so He can plant the heavens, lay the foundations of the earth and call the church His people. (Isa 50:4, Isa 51:16)
- Pray that God will purge and refine the confessions of the members of the body of Christ with His refiner’s fire so their words can be pure as gold and silver. (Col 4:6, Prov 25:11, Ps 12:6)
- Pray that God’s people will understand and submit to the processes God is taking them through especially in relation to their utterances, so they will not speak unadvisedly with their lips against God. (Job 32:8; Jms 4:7a; Ps 106:33)
Prayer Points Related to the numbers 2, 6 and 12
2 is the number of witness, differences and distinctness.
From Gen 1:6-8, on the 2nd day the firmament was created and positioned in the middle of the waters to separate the waters from the waters. In this month focus on the number 2 as depicting separation, difference and distinction.
- Pray that this month you will take a deeper walk of separation – and lead a consecrated life of separation unto God. (2 Cor 6:14-18)
- Pray that the body of Christ will receive a revelation of the scripture that we are in the world but not of the world. Pray that God will raise a priesthood who will take this truth into a reality since a larger portion of the church has conformed to worldly ways. (Num 8:6, 2Tim 2:19, Joh 17:14-17)
6 is the number of man. God created the first righteous man on the sixth day of creation week. (Gen 1:26-31) Everything God created was good, the moment God created man; He saw that everything was very good. It shows that the RIGHTEOUS MAN HAS AN ENDOWMENT FOR IMPROVEMENT WHEREVER HE GOES. RIGHTEOUSNESS is God’s focus in this season. God has defined the Jubilee season as a period of time when individuals, families, the church, nations and continents are returned and restored to His original plan and purpose for creating them; for this reason God is establishing His righteousness in the earth by means of judgments.
- Pray first for yourself and then for members of the body of Christ that those whose daily life activities has not been clearly defined by righteousness should immediately repent, correct and align their ways to the righteous standards of God’s word. (1 Pet 4:17)
- Pray that the church will recognize that, without the Holy Spirit we, mere men, cannot accomplish God’s purpose. Pray that in these days, as kingdom citizens recognize their frailty as human beings, many will yearn for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit and submit to His guidance in the increasingly lost world (Joh 16:5-16)
- There are individuals, families, nations and continents that have not obeyed the gospel of Christ; some are already undergoing the judgments of God where everything they have depended upon (economies of nations, businesses, associates, political and social connections etc) has failed. Pray that in judgment God will remember mercy. Pray again that these people groups will submit themselves unto God and learn righteousness. (Jms 2:13b; Isa 26:9; Ps 66:1-7; Ps 2:10-12)
- Ask the Lord, that as you take position as righteous man, you will begin to be a positive influence where fallen men have brought destruction; in all creation everywhere God has allowed you to be. Pray this for the church of Christ in your nation. (Matt 28:18-20)
12 represents divine government. The government of the earth is upon Jesus’ shoulders and through His agent the church, He must govern the world. The shoulders are on the Body of Christ. God has dared to vest His entire authority on earth, on the church. Pray the following based on Isaiah 9:6:
- Pray that God will help you to understand what magnitude of authority He has vested in you as a kingdom citizen in that place He has allowed you to be. Pray this for your local church, and the church in the nation
- If all of God’s authority is in the church – and the nations are in turmoil, then there is something wrong with the governors of the earth. Ask the Lord to visit the church one more time, and bring circumstances that will rock us into realization that we are His government, the nations depend on us to steer them in the right direction.
- Most of the time, the church of Christ gets lost in partisan activities when it comes to choice of national leaders. We forget that we have the authority to steer God’s man into the direction God will have them go. As you pray for the leadership in your nation, whether you chose them or not, pray that God will direct the heart of your leaders in His own course, so they fulfill their destiny in this season. Remember the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord. God’s hand is on His Body he church. (Prov 21:1)
- In the year 2000, God by prophecy declared that in ten years He will change the face of Africa. 2010 is the tenth year since God made that declaration. The face of Africa will change by the tenth plague in 2010. By prophecy, God declared that He will use 3 elements this 2010 – wind, fire and water (physically and spiritually). God will usher in and establish His government in the nations of Africa. Pray for the manifestation of God’s word in every sphere of society. (Num 23:19; Jer 1:12)
- God is lifting up the heads of His people (Ps 3:3) from every prison or bondage situations because it is the season of favour, especially for those who will live by the divine government of His Word and by His Voice. Pray that God by His Spirit will stir His people to feed voraciously on His word and not be readers and hearers only but be doers of the word. (Ezr 1:1; Jer 15:16 ; Rom 2:13; Jms 1:22-25)
NATIONS
This month there are some key nations that we would pray for:
Haiti
This month we would focus on prayers for one little recognized, but key nation – Haiti. Haiti is a Caribbean island nation which comes into international limelight very often to highlight one natural disaster or another, civil unrest and military coups. Recently a strong earthquake wreaked havoc in the island killing so many and leaving others at high risk of contagious disease, death and destruction. Haiti seems to be a nation under continuous attack from every side.
In a space of 2 years between 1986-88 there were 5 consecutive coups which saw 5 governments rise and fall. These are not uncommon as the nation has suffered under despotic military leadership. Before that and after that, the coups have continued and the leadership remains shaky. The nation has not really had a very strong constitution since its inception, but in the last season, a draft constitution was made. It is yet to be approved and ratified.
Yet on the other hand it is important to recognize that Haiti is the first black nation to receive independence in 1804. Led by Jean-Jaques Dessalines, the nation overthrew French colonial domination under Napoleon Bonaparte – a highly seasoned man of war. That was a great achievement. It was a contemporary depiction of a David overcoming a Goliath.
Haiti was also the first nation to abolish slavery long before William Wilberforce and his colleagues raised the same campaign in the Britain. That too was a statement by the people of that land to the sanctity of human life and the desire to see all men equal and liberated under God. Following these great achievements, the nation has not had a moment’s rest – coming under attack from every side. Why? The challenges that Haiti faces today come from deep rooted spiritual forces.
It is important to understand that what we see in the physical is a manifestation of unseen spiritual activities over nations. Could it be that Haiti is a type of – first born nation among those of African extraction? There is a continuous battering and struggle for power and control over Haiti in the spiritual realm.
The Bible gives a glimpse of this in the revelation given to Daniel about Medo-Persian and Greek principalities that were struggling for control of the nations during his times (Dan 10-11). The historical activities that unfolded on earth happened exactly as he had seen in his visions. The Medo-Persian kingdom lasted for a little while, but the Prince of Greece came and took over reflected on earth by Alexander the Great.
The warring in the heavens over control of Haiti is significant. That nation contains something that can be likened to the control-button over the people of African extraction. The destiny of Haiti reflects the destiny of Africa and its people wherever they are. The batterings that have come against that little nation reflect the batterings that continue to rock Africa in every area
We are in the season of Jubilee for the people of African extraction. Whilst it is important to continue to press in and pray for the fulfillment of God’s prophetic word over the continent from Isaiah 19 and 60; there is need to understand that there is a strong link between the release of Haiti as a nation, and the release of Africa and its people the world over.
The restoration of that one nation reflects the restoration of Africa and its people in every area – leadership, restoration of the land, return of its people who have run away and see no hope of returning to a “hopeless” land. It will reflect the restoration of Jesus Christ as God, King and Judge over the nations. It will usher in the breaking away from spiritual idolatry and ungodly pride. All these are strongly reflected in Haiti.
This month we dedicate prayers for this particular nation. There will be a prophetic prayer journey that will be undertaken by Pr. Abu and his team into that nation once again. We ask for prayers for the successful release of that nation into the fullness of the state of Jubilee.
- Repent for the lack of understanding in the church as a whole as to the redemptive destiny of nations thus we do not even know how to pray, and what to do in order to see God turn the tide of suffering in the nations.
- Ask that the lord will continue to open the eyes of the people called by His name in Haiti so they can pray effectively in line with God’s purposes, rather than praying for the crisis that continue to hammer the nation without letting up. It is one thing to offer charity; however even charitable organizations can get overwhelmed. God can reveal the exact area to focus spiritually in order to bring order into that chaotic situation. (2 Chron 7:14)
- Repent on behalf of the church – for failing to take her position as the guide and ambassador of Christ in the nation – thus the leadership of the nation has been like lost sheep without a guide. As the church goes, so goes the nation. Repent for the church’s deviation from the Great commission. (2 Cor 5:20, Matt 28:18-20)
- Repent of deep levels of spiritual idolatry in the nation. Haiti prides itself in exporting voodoo to the rest of the western world. People indulge in, and encourage themselves in the “best practices” of voodoo and other forms of ancestral worship and spiritual idolatry. This has brought higher and higher levels of bondage in that nation – and by extension this has been an export to the world. (Exo 7:11, 22:18, Lev 19:26,31, Lev 20:27)
- Where there is high level of spiritual idolatry reveals a lack of the prophetic. The prophetic voices in Haiti are virtually non-existent. The Bible reveals that the gentile nations that surrounded Israel would dabble in all manner of spiritual idolatry. The solution to such an environment is given by God when He promised them that He would raise for them a prophet to contend with the counterfeit spirit. Ask the Lord to raise His strong prophetic voices in Haiti to contend with the spiritual idolatry rampant in the land. (Deut 18:9-18)
Pagan Festivities
- Repent of this spiritual idolatry creeping into the church. Due to the popularity of many of the festivals that stem from voodoo and ancestral worship, the church in the nation proselytize these practices and simply super-imposed them with a “Christian” theme. Sometimes, they regulated them in order to allow Christians to practice them within church. Therefore you find that the church participates in a “sanitized” form of the very hedonistic rituals of the carnival, Valentines Day and such other observances.
Apart from the world renowned pagan celebration of Valentines day, and the gay-pride marches, which fall around 14th February, another well known celebration is the carnival. It is celebrated in the Caribbean Islands and South America as well. The Carnival in Haiti concludes on the day of Mardi-Gras, also known as Fat-Tuesday. This day is named after the custom of consuming all kinds of fats at home before the Easter season. The Wednesday that follows Mardi-Gras, is known as Ash Wednesday.
Ash Wednesday is the first day of the penitential season of lent in Christian churches. During this penitential season of 40 days, Roman Catholics are barred from eating meat. The 40 days of Lent leads to Good Friday and Easter Sunday. This means, Carnival in Haiti gives the last opportunity for revelry and indulgence in food, drink and music. Almost everything goes. The levels of sexual immorality, substance abuse and hedonism of the vilest levels are “allowed” during these days. The carnival will fall between the 14-16th of February.
- These are the days that the Lord has made. Speak into the heavens and command that the heavens in this month will declare the glory of the Lord. They will ignore every instruction given to them from any part of the kingdom of darkness. Lock the heavens and the earth from receiving any sacrifice, libations, commands.
- With the Valentine’s day, the V-day (from the V-Monologues compaign), Gay-pride march and the Carnival all spewing out vile sexually immoral and deviant activity; the kingdom of darkness is looking to continue destroying the foundation of marriage and family. Many ungodly covenants will be released through sex in various forms during those days. Pray against any release of STDs (Sexually transmitted demons) from the pit of hell during these days all over the world. Pray that God will raise a standard against the onslaught of the enemy against family and marriages.
- Pray for marriages especially in the body of Christ. Ask the Lord to preserve His people; and to preserve the minds of his people from the onslaught that will come against them from the activities surrounding the Valentine day and Carnival and such like events. They look very romantic but were not instituted by God. They have no godly basis – yet deign to touch on the apple of His eye – the romantic love relationship between men and women – outside the covering of God.
Immediately after the celebration of carnival, there will be a key presidential election for Haiti. These particular elections are very important as they will also determine the way forward for the draft constitution of that nation.
- Cover the elections with the blood of Jesus. In this season of Jubilee for Africa, pray that God will raise a Jubilee person to the seat of rulership in that nation. The throne of authority belongs to the Lord. It is His prerogative who will rule that nation at such a time as this. Pray that whoever God allows to sit on the seat of leadership at every level in Haiti, God will bring that person back into his purposes. (Rom 13:1, Ps 2:6-7)
- Where there are visible flaws in the people who sit in leadership, pray that God will deal with those flaws. Create a wall of protection from the attack of the enemy on those in places of authority. Many of these are unredeemed men, therefore they are sinners. Praying them out or in, is not the answer. Rather praying for the purpose of God to be accomplished in their lives, whether they are of your preference or not; is the way to be a priest for them before the Lord. (1 Tim 2:1-4, Eph 6:12)
- Pray that God will raise people who will intercede, and do the right prophetic actions to deal with the seats of authority in the nation of Haiti, restoring the foundations of these seats to reflect that of God’s throne. They will rule in righteousness, justice and equity. (Ps 89:14, Ps 92:7)
- Pray that Haiti will find her way back into her destiny as God raises a new generation of believers who will have faith in Him to restore that nation to reflect His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Also pray for the return of Haitians who had run away to return and rebuild their nation to the glory that God has in store for it. (Isa 61:1-7)
- Pray that the socio-economic situation in Haiti will experience a Jubilee release from bondage as matured sons of God in the land rise up and bring liberation to all creation that has been groaning in bondage to the elements. (Rom. 8:19-21)
Nigeria
Nigeria entered her jubilee recently. While the Lord has began to brign about various Jubilee blessings over the nation, the enemy is still keen to undermine the stability and image of that nation. There have been pockets of violence in the nation. In the city of Jos – Nigeria, recent religious disturbances has left a number of people dead, many rendered homeless, the main market burnt, etc etc..
While some nations were in the process of reviewing the diplomatic, immigrational embargos placed on Nigerian passport holders, a young man of Nigerian origin was caught in an airline trying to commit an act of terrorism. This has not helped the image of the nation in any way and makes it very difficult for well meaning Nigerians to travel to other nations.
- Ask the Lord to quicken the church in Nigeria to pray and continue appropriating the Jubilee blessings over that nation. (Lev 25:8-28, Isa 61)
- Where there has been a slacking and rejection of entering this Jubilee, ask that the Lord will pardon His people for ignorance and bring them to knowledge of the importance of the Jubilee season that the nation has entered in. (Ref. “Enter you Jubilee” © 2009 Abu Bako) (Jer 34:8-18)
- Pray that the Lord himself will this month of Purim, purge the image of Nigeria as a nation that is prone to lawlessness; but He will reveal the apostolic and prophetic significance of this nation in the scheme of things with regard to Africa’s Jubilee season. (Isa 62:2-5,8-9,12)
- One way the enemy will hinder the apostolic calling of Nigeria is by ensuring their immigrational track record continues to spiral downwards. Thus discouraging many from traveling as it becomes more and more difficult to receive visas and travel documents. Ask that this embargo the enemy has had with the Nigerian immigrational status worldwide, will be broken in this Jubilee season of God’s favor. Pray that God will deal with any person who are using the national passport for purposes that perpetuate wickedness in other nations. Pray for favor for those who are genuinely seeking to do good in the nations of the world.
Sudan
Sudan is a nation that is at a cross road. There is a pending separation and birthing of a new nation of South Sudan. This will be preceded first by a decisive election in the coming month of April, followed by a referendum in 2011 to determine the fate of South Sudan. 2011 will also mark the end of the temporary peace agreement with the North. There is jitters among the people with concern for security. There are forces trying to bring instability in parts of South Sudan. Even LRA rebel leader Kony of North Uganda is trying to move into joining forces with these rebels and causing further instability in Southern
- Again, its important to recognize that there is high spiritual activity in the heavens; with powers battling for control over the destiny of Sudan because of its significant position with regard to the continent of Africa.
- Ask the Lord to make His redemptive purpose for this nation very clear to the church. Ask that He will direct the church in guiding this nation out of troubled waters into the safe haven; as they take their position as His ambassadors on earth (2 Cor 5:20)
- South Sudan is also known as “Christian South.” Pray that God will raise the apostolic and prophetic movement in the nation; strengthening them so they can lay a good foundation for that nation to become truly, a household of God (Eph 2:20-22)
- Declare Isaiah 60, that the Jubilee season over Sudan and the South has come. No more violence will be heard over this land. (Isaiah 60:18)
- Pray for the Shalom of God to rest on the men of peace in this nation. If there are people who are seeking violence, pray that God Himself will weed them out; whether talk of violence over the air waves or using weaponry or any other form; God will arise and the enemies of His purposes will be scattered in this season (Psa 85:8, Hag 2:9, Isa 60:17, 66:12)
- Pray that God will raise His man in Sudan in this season, to lead this nation int the destiny He has for them. (Rom 13:1)
- Pray that God Himself will brood over the separation of the North and South. As the new nation is about to be birthed, just as in the days when Moses and Jesus were born, the enemy will try to kill the newly born nation. This is a jubilee season for South Sudan. Pray that the Spirit of God will cover every activity that leads up to this division. Pray for the new nation of Northern Sudan too. May this be a test case of God’s favor as He ushers these nations into their new destinies in Him. (Job 12:23, Deut 32:8, Act 17:26-27)
Kenya
Kenya will be undergoing a second constitutional referendum in the month of February. It shall be recalled that the last time the referendum happened it brought deep division in the nation’s leadership which culminated in violence after elections of 2008. The constitution is a very key element of the make-up of a nation. It is the people’s covenant with the land on how they will live in it and with each other. The covenant of a nation is also part of its foundations.
Each nation is shaped according to the constitution they have. All the various political forms of government are defined by the constitution whether communist, Islamic, humanistic, Buddhist, fascist, socialist etc etc.
- Kenya is changing her constitution for the first time since before independence. Pray that God will be the foundation of this new constitution. As the foundations are re-laid, may they reflect righteousness, justice and equity at every level of society. Pray that whatever will hinder God’s purposes for that nation will be weeded out of the constitution.
- Pray for the constitutional review committee. Pray that the Lord will brood over them and pour out wisdom in steering the entire activity of the referendum.
- Pray for the electoral commission of Kenya. It had been disbanded after the post election violence in Kenya. Pray for people after God’s own heart to be raised up in that commission. Whoever has been appointed will be a person of integrity.
- Pray that this time, the enemy will not succeed in destroying the new thing that God wants to do in Kenya during this season of Jubilee. (Isa 43:18-20)
- Pray that the church in Kenya will steward the nation’s different cultures into their redemptive destiny. Rather than the tribe and culture being a weapon of division and antipathy, may it be a forger of bridges among the people of that nation. Pray that the tribal differences in Kenya will be stewarded into something positive reflecting the beauty in diversity that exists on the African continent. (Isa 65:25)
- Pray for the church in Africa as a whole to embrace one another as one people under God. Pray that God will raise leaders both in Kenya and all over the continent, who will appreciate every culture, and will boost the diverse contributions that each culture brings to the nation. Pray that God will guide the church to pray into the redemption of every tribe, and tongue in the nations. (Ps 72:11, Ps 102:22, Dan 7:14)
- Pray for yourself. Ask the Lord to renew your way of thinking and the way you approach the activities in the nations. Ask Him to show you where His hand is working in the nations, and how you can pray effectively for all the numerous things happening in various parts of the world today.
- Ask God to reveal Himself to you as God of the Nations. Pray for your nation. Ask the Lord to continue revealing His redemptive purpose for your nation in this very key season. Ask Him to show you what your part is, in view of the big picture of what He wants to do in your nation. Ask Him to show you how to use what you have in your hand to do His will as you enter this final month of God’s sacred year (Ps 24:1, Ps 46).
Israel: Jewish current civil Issues
The latest move of the prime minister of Israel is the selection of certain locales at the West Bank settlement where he planted trees as a clear message that “we will stay here, we are planning and we are building”. He said those areas are an indisputable part of Israel forever, approved by majority of Israelis and is part of international agreements.
- In Isa 49:20, God has already declared that Israel will require more land for her people. They will not reduce the land. Pray that all government decisions in Israel will supernaturally follow God’s divine will, plan and purpose for Israel in this season, and they will not be menpleasers. (Rev 17:17a; Eph 6:6)
- Pray again that the leaders of Israel will set their faces as flint against the world as they fulfill God’s plan. (Isa 50:7; Eze 3:9)
PRAYING GOD’S PATTERNS INTO THE HEAVENS
Crescents and Quarter Moons (You may request for the teaching of January 2010 on Understanding the heavens)
A C-shaped moon or its mirror image is a crescent; a D-shaped moon or its mirror image, is a bow. The occult use the crescent moon as sickles (e.g. Hecate’s sickle), for harvesting the gains of the ignorant and for demonic strength and fortification with intense enchantments.
The word of God is the solution to everything. Lack of knowledge of God’s word will lead anybody into the bondage of affliction, oppression, burdens, lack etc. God also abhors those who lack knowledge (Hos 4:6) unfortunately, majority of the members of the body of Christ are ignorant. Ardently pray that God will move them into the place where they will call for and hunt for deep knowledge of God’s word. (Prov 2:1-5)
- Ask God for a deeper revelation into understanding the times and seasons with regard to the signs of the times, reflected by the heavens. (Luk 21:9-11, Matt 16:1-5)
- Proclaim Ps 1, 2, 24, 29, 149 and 34
First quarter moon is on the 22nd February @ 00:42 UT and the Last quarter moon is on the 05th February @ 23:48 UT.
- The quarter moon is shaped like a bow, for this reason, the occult use it as spiritual bows to shoot spiritual arrows which are words of unimaginable wickedness intended to create hazardous situations and chaotic circumstances in nations, regions, families and targeted individual lives. Pray that those whose tongue devise mischief like a sharp razor effecting deceit and love devouring words, God shall destroy them and pluck them out of their dwelling place and root them out of the land of the living except they repent. (Ps 52:1-6)
The full moon is on the 28th of February 2010 @ 16:38 UT
- At full moon, the wicked indulge themselves in worshipping the host of heaven, sacrifice to other gods, indulge in diverse kinds of atrocities and dig pits for the righteous. God is poised for vengeance so pray for the release of the fierceness of His anger and wrath upon the perpetuators of these abominations which the Lord has not commanded unless they repent. (Ps 78:49; Deut.17:3)
- Pray that the wicked will fall into the pit they have dug for the righteous and their mischief shall return upon their own heads. (Ps 7:15-16, Ps 9:15, Prov. 26:27).
- Instruct the full moon to praise God (Neh 9:6)
- During full moon some people get “moon-struck” madness. So many negative things happen to people because of the pull of the moon on the earth. Ask the Lord to stabilize the waters of your body, of those who are affected adversely at full moon; instead it will be a time for rejoicing in the Lord.
The New moon that opens the gate to the third lunar season is on the 14th of February 2010 @ 02:51 UT
- Blow the shofar or the trumpet, or simply have a time of song ministration to the Lord. Dedicate the incoming lunar season to the Lord at the gate of the new moon and proclaim Ps 108:1-5 and Ps 34:1-3
- Ask the Lord to guide you step by step into the new territories He is taking His people into in 2010. (Ps 37:23)
The sun in February passes through a cluster of stars, the constellation called Pisces symbolized by the Fishes. This represents the result of the Redeemer’s sufferings which is the blessings of the redeemed in abeyance; The multitudes that should enjoy the redeemer’s work. Through suffering, Jesus Christ, brought many sons to glory (Heb 2:9-10) so the sign PISCES refers to “His Seed” prophesied in Isa 53:10
- As a son of God, are you willing to lay down your life so you too can become a channel of salvation by which many sons will be brought to glory? Ask the Lord to help you and the rest of the body of Christ to enter into matured Sonship . (1 Joh 3:16; Ps 121:1; 1 Cor 15:31)
- Members of the body of Christ dislike suffering of any kind but the word of God encourages us to be partakers or participate in the sufferings of Christ because there is a reward for it. Read out and meditate on Rom 8:18; 2 Cor 1:7; Phil 3:10; 1 Pet 4:13; 1 Pet 5:1 Ask the Lord to help you come into that place of surrender to him.
The other three smaller group of stars called “decans” that form part of Pisces describe in details the teaching of the sign Pisces.
The BAND (the redeemed bound, but binding their enemy) represents Jesus the coming one in relation to the redeemed.
The Lord draws the redeemed unto Himself by mild and gentle methods of human kindness and with bands of love or His lovingkindness (Jer 31:3) removing the yoke of captivity just the way He did when He removed Israel from hard bondage in Egypt and gently feeds them the same way He fed Israel with manner in the wilderness. (Hos 11:4)
- Pray that the body of Christ will consciously learn the detailed methods by which the Lord won our hearts to Him and into His service, so by those same methods we will equally win unbelievers into the kingdom. (Joh 13:15-17)
ANDROMEDA (The chained woman) represents the redeemed in their bondage and affliction.
The enemy has chained the members of the body of Christ and has kept them in affliction, representing the captive daughter of Zion.
- Rejoice! Celebrate! This is the season of Jubilee, the ordained time of complete release from every form of captivity; even though the redeemed sold themselves for naught, the redeemer is redeeming His people without money. (Ps 32:11; Ps 40:16; Lev 23:41b; Isa 51:21 – 52:3)
- Proclaim Ps 107:2 and Isaiah 35.
