PRAYING THROUGH THE MONTH OF MARCH 2010
March derived its name from ancient Rome. It was then the first month of the year and named “Martius” after Mars, the Roman god of war. March is the first month of spring, the period when winter is ending and spring is beginning. The snow is thawing and plant life is beginning, birds are singing melodiously and the flowers are about to bud. It is a logical point for the beginning of the year.
Presently, it is the first (1st) month of the Jewish sacred calendar (the month Abib or Nissan) (Ex 12:2; Deut 16:1) “Abib” is a collective noun signifying “green ears of corn.” It is in this month the Passover feast occurred and on the fourteenth day, the sheaf of the first fruit of the harvest was waved to the Lord.
The month Abib marked the beginning of Israel’s new life as a nation when God delivered them from Egyptian slavery and bondage. They were released when the Lord passed over the Israelites as soon as he saw the blood of the lamb smeared on their doorposts, thus sparing them while killing Egyptian firstborns. This birthed the Passover, at the same time the Lord passed judgment against all the gods of Egypt (Ex.12:12).
The festival of the first month is a feast of hope and new life, and it commemorates the establishment of God’s covenant with Israel.
March is the seventh (7th) month according to Jewish civil calendar.
It is the third (3rd) month following the Gregorian calendar. Diverse satanic attacks and influences occur in this particular month because March is named after Mars and is also identified with the Greek god of war – Eres, who exalts bloodshed and violence. Other names for Eres are the Avenger, the Slayer and the Curse. The spear is his emblem; the dog and vulture are his sacred animals.
Quirinus is a Sabine god of war, also identified with Mars. He was the god of the state of Rome and the father of Romus and Romulus who was the founder and first king of Rome.
The city of Rome celebrates her birthday on 21st March around the time of the Vernal Equinox.
Praying into the month
God ordained and established the month Abib as the beginning of months and the first month of the year. It is therefore the beginning of a new sacred year and also the beginning of spring – the springing forth of new plant and animal life.
- Ask the owner of creation to take over the gates of the month, every moment of the month and every time segment of the entire year so He will possess and instruct them the way they should go. (Gen 14:19, 22; Ps 24:7-10; Ps 32:8)
- The beginning of the sacred year is a new opportunity for a fresh start with the Lord, especially in areas you know you fell short of the glory of God. Make very naked confessions where you letdown the Lord, repent and make new commitments to consciously make your life a platform for expressing God whilst you make commensurate efforts to increase your word intake, times of prayer, meditation and obedience to God in everything. (Prov 28:13; Acts 6:4, Josh 1:8; Isa 1:19)
- Stand in the gap and repent on behalf of each member of the church worldwide and pray the same prayer for them. (Eze 22:30; Prov 28:13; Acts 6:4, Josh 1:8; Isa 1:19)
- In the just concluded year, whatever happened to you as an individual or as a family positively or negatively is the basis upon which God taught you lessons. These lessons have worked patience in you, and have added to your storehouse of experiences which brings hope that does not put anybody to shame (Rom 5:3-5). Pray that God will enable you to pass on these experiences to others in the New Year so you will be a source of encouragement and strength to others faced with similar situations so they too can go on. (2 Chron 32:6-8)
- Dedicate and devote your life, family, marriage, business, church, community and nation to the Lord as most holy, ensuring that the year commences with the Lord in full possession of everything. (2 Sam 8:11; Lev 27:28)
March – a Month of War
When the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, God initiated their deliverance out of Egypt in the month of Abib. (Ex 2:23-25). God manifested Himself to be the God of war through nine plagues on Egypt culminating it with the plague of the Passover where He preserved Israel but slew the firstborns of the Egyptians and executed judgment against all the gods of Egypt (Ex 12:12). In that month He birthed the nation Israel – a type and shadow of the church, and made it the 1st month of the year for His people.
- Declare Ps 68:1-2 into the heavens and into the earth, and instruct the heavens to utter it over every speech and language on the earth and to the hearing of the kingdom of darkness so God will be exalted over every foe.
- Ask the Lord to activate the nature of the horse in you so like the horse, you will perceive the battle afar off and seek the Lord for battle strategies just the way David did and rush into it, knowing that your safety is of the Lord (Zec 10:3 2 Sam 5:22-25; Jer 8:6b ;Prov 21:31 )
- This month, go on the offensive, by prayer take the battle to the gates of witches and wizards, to the gates of diviners and necromancers, to the gates of sorcerers, astrologers, monthly prognosticators, soothsayers and to the gates of all those who love to traffic familiar spirits because they have chosen new gods and war must be in their gates. (Judges 5:8a)
- Pray that God will walk through the length and breath of the lives and families of His people, their marriages, businesses, walk through the church as a corporate body on earth and through the nations of the continent of Africa with His horses, warring against everything that is in opposition to His rule (Hab 3:15 ; Gen 13:17).
- Just like the horses and chariots of Israel separated Elijah from Elisha, ask God for the horses and chariots of fire to separate you, your family, marriage, business, church, tribe, community, nation and continent from all the battle plans and arrows of the enemy. (1 kgs 6:12)
- Pray that this month; God should make you and the members of the church world wide a burdensome stone so Satan and all his surrogate spirits that burden themselves with you and the church will be broken in pieces. (Zec 12:3)
Prayer Points Related To the Significance of the Numbers 1, 3 and 7
The number one denotes primacy. It is a number that marks the beginning. “In the beginning God…” (Gen1:1) It symbolizes the foundation of any activity or event.
Currently, we are within the Jubilee season of a new beginning within the end time season of a new beginning, a season within a season – the Jubilee season within the end time season. This is a peculiar period where God has taken His
pre-eminent position in the lives of His people and in all creation, restoring them to His original plan and purpose for their creation. However, God is seeking for those He can call “sons” in the body of Christ throughout the world so He can exert His primacy on every existence on the earth through them.
Children are born but sons are given (Isa 9:6a). Sons are given by decision because it is written in Ps 2:7 – “I will make clear the Lord’s decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being” (Bible in Basic English) and the Contemporary English Version says “I will tell the promise that the Lord made to me: You are my son, because today I have become your father”. Sons build the kingdom and everything that is of God whole heartedly but destroy everything that is of the devil. (1 Joh 3:8)
- Critically examine your life, let the Lord also examine you, by your way of life, can God decide to call you His son? Can God trust you to the extent that He will decide to become your father? Ask God to reveal yourself to you so you can correct whatever is necessary to be corrected to qualify you for sonship. (1 Cor 11:28a; 2 Cor 13:5; Ps 26:2; 1 Cor 2:10)
- Ask the Lord to examine the church and all those who are matured in Christ and should be called “sons” but have fallen short of that standard; Stand in the gap and repent on their behalf, plead with the Lord for forgiveness and request for the ministry of the blood of Christ to blot out their failures. Ask God to guide them with His eye until they attain the level of responsibility that will qualify them as sons of God. (Eze 22:30; 1 Joh 1:7-10; Col 2:14; Ps 32:8)
- Is your marriage a platform for the expression of the primacy of God in marriages on earth? Is your business a platform for the expression of the primacy of God in business ventures on earth? Are your relationships with God and men, your leadership qualities and styles and everything else you are involved in, a platform for the Lord? Let the Lord help you to change what is necessary so you can honour God in all (Mal 1:6)
For you and the members of the church in the nations to become the platform for God’s expression of primacy on earth, you and the church must emulate Jesus because He is the epitome of sonship which is the reason why he said “The son can do nothing of his own…” (Joh 5:19) and “I and the father are one” (Joh 10:30)
- The life of Jesus is an example for the church. Pray for the members of the church worldwide so each will take a bold step of faith to pattern their lives after Jesus. (Joh 13:15;1 Pet 2:21)
- Pray for each member of the church to be willing to put into practice obedience to the Word and Voice of God that will eventually bring them to that place of being one with the father. (Isa 1:19; Phil 2:13)
The 1st month Abib
The Passover feast in the month Abib is the means by which God released Israel from Egyptian slavery and bondage. It marked the beginning of Israel’s new life as a nation.
- Pray that the Passover feast will be the gateway by which God will quicken and release the church into a new life of true sonship oriented and focused lifestyle. (Ps 119:37b)
On the fourteenth day, the sheaf of the first fruit of the harvest was waved to the Lord.
- Pray that, the Midianites, the Amalekites and the people of the East will no longer destroy the harvest of your land (Jdg 6:1-6) but you will harvest, give the Lord’s first fruit portion to Him with joy, and have enough to eat and praise the Lord. (Isa 62:8-9; Ps 126)
The festival of the first month is a feast of hope and new life, and it commemorates the establishment of God’s covenant with Israel.
- Proclaim the covenants of the Lord in Hos 2:18-23; Ps 50:5; Mal 2:5-7 into the heavens and the earth. (Deut 32:1)
- God said we are in a season of walking in covenant with Him. Pray fervently for the body of Christ to be faithful in their covenant walk with God. (1 Cor 4:1-2)
The number three represents Unity as in the Trinity; it is the number of Witness and represents the mystery of a three fold cord which cannot be easily broken.
Witnessing for Christ is a major objective this season because God is focused on reaping the end time harvest of souls and has promised unprecedented levels of harvest into the kingdom to such an extent, other religions will question the veracity and the legitimacy of their belief.
- Pray fervently for the church of Christ world wide to actively focus on soul wining for the Lord. (Prov 11:30)
- Pray that the life styles of the members of the church around the world will be full of light and good works, shining as a source of true witness to others, to convict them of sin and initiate repentance – a gateway into the kingdom. (Math 5:16)
- Decide to be one of those who turn many unto righteousness by your personal acts of righteousness as you fast and pray specifically for the salvation of those who must be saved in your family, immediate locality, business, church, nation and the nations worldwide. (Dan 12:3; 2 Tim 4:5)
The number seven represents perfection, fullness and completeness.
Jubilee was founded upon the principle of the 7th day Sabbath (Gen 2:1-3). After seven times seven Sabbath years (49 years) the 50th year is holy unto the Lord called the year of Jubilee because the shofar (ram’s horn) is blown to proclaim liberty to the land and its inhabitants. It is a time of restoration (Lev 25)
God has ushered the church and nations into the season of Jubilee where He is restoring the life of His people to His original blue-print for their lives.
Every member of the church is expected to live intimately with God so they can fulfill His blue-print of perfection, fullness and completeness.
- Every member of the church world wide must come to the place of understanding how this season affects them especially in relation to the fulfillment of God’s blue-print for their lives. Pray that God will inspire this vital understanding in each member so they will know what to do. (Job 32:8; Lk 24:45; 1 Ch 12:32)
- Ask the Lord to show you and every individual member of the body His original blue – print and what He wants each to specifically accomplish in life for Him.(1 Cor 2:9-10)
- Living a life of intimacy with God is living in the conscious presence of God daily, in communion with Him by prayer and the word intake, hearing and promptly obeying all His instructions. Pray for grace to practice this life style for each member of the body of Christ until the senses is exercised by it. (2 Cor 9:8; Heb 5:14)
Jewish current civil Issues
Recently, a Hamas strongman has been assassinated in Dubai and Israel has been accused of the plot and murder. The Israeli foreign minister has denied the accusation saying there are many other power struggles in the region which could have resulted in the operation.
- Proclaim Deut 32:39-43 over the Middle East
- Pray that in the mist of all the power struggles, Jesus Christ will be revealed to those who should know Him. (Rev 1:1; 1 Pet 1:13b)
PRAYING GOD’S PATTERNS INTO THE HEAVENS
God has placed all things under the feet of man (Ps 8:6). For effective dominion, it is mandatory for man to study the heavens God created and the laws that govern them. (Job 38:33)
The infiltration of astrologers and monthly prognosticators in every sector of life on earth is astounding. They chart and follow the positions of the host of heaven and offer ungodly explanations for these positioning which influences and controls the lives of men.
- Pray that God will cut off the remembrance of such men from off the earth except they repent. (Ps 34:16)
- Pray for the members of the body of Christ who are addicted to reading and application of horoscope guides to their daily lives. Repent on their behalf and plead with the Lord to deliver them from such bondage. (Acts 3:19-20; 1 Tim 6:20-21)

The occult uses the “bow shaped” quarter moons as spiritual bows for shooting spiritual arrows at the righteous. These are words of inconceivable evil, intended to cause terminal diseases such as various types of cancers, divorces and death in families, chaos in regions and nations etc.
- Pray that God will cut these bows and cause the war against His people to cease. (Ps 46:9; Zec 9:10a)

The enemy was revealed to have planned to use the new moon to devour the heritage of God’s people – the church.
- Declare into the heavens, the sun, moon and stars, the waters above and the waters beneath, the earth and into every part of creation that, the Lord said “the heritage of His people shall not be devoured this new moon nor the new moons of the rest of the year.

Equinox is that moment in time (not a whole day) when the centre of the Sun can be observed to be directly above the Earth‘s equator (the earth is at zero tilt to the sun). This occurs twice a year, in which there are 12 hours of night and 12 hours of daylight.
In Vernal or spring Equinox the sun appears to cross the equator moving northward. This marks the beginning of spring signifying new life and new beginning which is the major gate into the entire year. Through this gate, your voice can be the carrier of God’s word for the year.

- Spring equinox is a time of special thanksgiving offerings to the gods of the occult for the “blessings” bestowed upon them throughout the past year.

(Isa 30:27)
The sun in March passes through a cluster of 66 stars in the constellation called Aries symbolized by a ram or lamb. This represents Jesus as the sacrificial lamb, slain for the redemption and freedom of man – this established the blessing of the redeemed consummated and enjoyed.
When the fullness of time was come, God sent forth His son (Gal 4:4) and in due time Christ died for the ungodly (Rom 5:6-8) His blood is the atonement that takes away their sin (Joh 1:29) and reconciles them back to God.
