PRAYING THROUGH THE MONTH OF MARCH 2011
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months; in the first month on the fourteenth day of the month at evening. Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover of the Lord your God, because in the month of Abib He brought you out of Egypt by night (Exo 12:2, Deut 16:1)
March derived its name from ancient Rome. It was then the first month of the ancient Roman calendar and dedicated to “Martius” after Mars, the Roman god of war. March is the first month of spring, the period when winter is ending and the first flush of spring manifests. 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 Nisan) (Ex 12:2; Deut 16:1) “Abib” is a collective noun signifying “green ears of corn.”
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 in a show of His favor, passed over the Israelites as soon as He saw the blood of the lamb smeared on their doorposts, thus sparing them. On the other hand it was a season of vengeance when God’s angel of death slew all of Egypt’s firstborn from the king to the lowliest servant to all livestock in the land.
It was a season of jubilee – new beginnings. This birthed the Passover, as the Lord had also passed judgment against all the gods of Egypt (Ex.12:12). On the fourteenth day of Abib, the sheaf of the first fruit of the harvest was waved to the Lord. This festival is a feast of hope and new life, and it commemorates the establishment of God’s blood covenant with Israel.
This month is marked by very significant numbers. It is the 1st, 3rd, and 7th month consecutively. It is the seventh (7th) month according to Jewish civil calendar. It is the third (3rd) month following the Gregorian calendar.
According to Greek mythology, 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. In Roman mythology, 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
For God to concentrate the first key Feast days in this season, it is because of significant spiritual activities with far reaching consequences. In the Old Testament, He required the Israelites to gather properly during those days. In the New Covenant we fulfill the types and shadows of the OT, so these are seasons for heightened territorial intercession, spiritual warfare, prophetic proclamation, and song ministration to the Lord.
Could it be the reason why the people in the kingdom of darkness from that time of vernal equinox (March 20-) engage in demonic programming of laylines and human sacrifice and other related activities to draw power for the coming year?
You hold the key to speak into the womb of each day of this year, to activate God’s purposes for it. A scripture to lay hold of during this season of numerous feasts is: I have put My words in your mouth, that you should plant the heavens and lay the foundations of the earth (Isa 51:16)
- Shape the coming days by prophesying into each day. Pray what God has said about that day and plant the heavens over your life and circumstance, then lay the foundations of the earth for that day and speak into the day that it shall not do the bidding of any other voice except the voice of God.
- This is the time for Kingdom citizens, like the army of Jehoshephat who did not know what to do, gather corporately and take the most efficient weapon i.e. praise and worship. This is a new season; a significant time of the year and so much spiritual activity going on in the nations. Command every day of this sacred new year to praise the Lord. Read out Psalm 19,24,25, 75, 148-150 and Isaiah 35, 60-61 into this new season
- For any army to win a war, they will ensure their air-force is in place. Whether it is simple Calvary in ancient times, or soldiers positioned on the city walls, or on high hills or elevated places, these have the best view of the battle. For you to overcome the enemy in this spring season, ensure that the heavens are in agreement with you. Speak to the heavens over the month and ask them to declare the glory of God. Command the sun, moon, stars and every heavenly being to do God’s bidding, and to do that which they were created for – to give God pleasure (Ps 19:1, Rev 4:11)
- Is it your birth month? Ask that the heavens will bring forth their best for you in this month. When the heavens are in agreement with God’s purpose for you, then they will speak to the earth and the earth will bring forth its best for you. Remember almost everything you require comes from the earth; whether food, minerals, buildings, etc therefore it should be aligned with God’s purposes in order to be most productive. Pray this for the church of Christ (Hos 2:21-22, Ps121:6,Lev 26:3-5,18-20)
- Speak into the womb of this month and carry out the creation process again. Speak and declare “Let there be light, let there be life, Let there be peace, let there be favor, health, clear communication of God’s will, understanding, wisdom, etc etc” in each day of the month. Speak into every key event taking place with regard to your family, church, nation and continent declaring the purposes of God for it – (not your own selfish purpose) (Isa 51:16)
Pray concerning every God glorifying event that will take place this month including days of birth, national days, God glorifying meetings etc. Ask that only God’s purposes will prevail.
- Pray that every virtue of the number 1 which symbolize the beginning, the foundation, the starting point of all that will be said and done to be GOD.
- Pray that the Holy Spirit will show you any old destructive foundations, that have super-imposed themselves on the only foundation Jesus Christ. Ask for a spirit of repentance of building on those false foundations. Pray this for the family, church and every gate of society in your territory.
- Pray that the virtue of the number 3, which denotes the unity in the Holy Trinity, The unbreakable strength of a unified three-fold chord to be evidenced and then released to the territory at large, in every God glorifying event this month.
- Pray for the virtue of the number 7 which depicts completeness, fullness and perfection will be evidenced in every God glorifying event this month. Even where there seem to have been any short-comings, the Lord will iron out all challenges and make all things perfect.
- Command those days to respond only to His purposes and ignore every other voice speaking into them (Psa 19:2).
Birthing has to do with forcibly pushing out the baby. God saw such a season as this, as a time to bring Israel out of hibernation and incubation into a nation from a family of 70 members. He was forcibly breaking their slavery from a master who was unwilling to release them. It took a great deal of warfare to achieve this.
- This new beginning is a season of birthing. There are various events which have taken place over the past three years in the nations; they were like birth-pangs. Pray that God will forcibly help the church bring forth His purposes in this season. Where the church has grown weary, pray that God will give strength to push until God’s purposes come forth especially with regard to His prophetic words concerning Africa’s new season of Jubilee.
- Pray that all the Jubilee leaders across the continent of Africa, and in the nations whom God has been training in hibernation will come forth and bring a mighty deliverance drawing God’s people out from under every bondage, every yoke that has kept them broken and subservient to the kingdom of darkness and its agents.
- Pray concerning nations which are being held in bondage under duress by Pharoahonic “more powerful” nations; that God will in this season through the church break the yoke of bondage and set them free from the unwilling pharaohs.
God’s contention with Pharaoh in Egypt was a physical manifestation of the spiritual war He was waging. Israel the nation was a type and shadow of the church of Christ. The ultimate battle took place at the same season when Jesus Christ became the Passover Lamb taking the entire creation out of the hands of the evil one. At Calvary the birthing of the Church of Jesus Christ happened. The Devil has only one pattern for any new born thing. He will try to destroy it at that point of springing forth.
- Pray that every God-ordained birthing in every gate of society, in every nation worldwide, will be overshadowed by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35)
- God chose this particular season of new beginnings to start the year (Exo 12:1). During that season God displayed Himself as Jehovah Sabaoth the Man of War. He terrorized Pharaoh and contended with every one of the Egyptian gods through the 10 plagues. Praise God, that He ALONE is the Man of war. Command the planet Mars, the gods, Eres, Quirinus and Martius and every other god which is a counterfeit to be scattered as Jehovah arises.
PRAYING FOR NATIONS
Jewish Civil Issues:
Israel is in a state of Trepidation as a result of all that has happened so far across the Middle East near them. This is simply because they are not sure what the eventual outcome of all the unfolding events would be, especially as it relates to peace with her neighbors.
- Proclaim Isaiah 19 concerning the situation. Pray that the revelation of the highway of the Lord will be made manifest to the church and as many as pray for Israel and her connection to Africa and Assyria.
- Pray that the church in these nations which are experiencing the falling of great trees and the shaking, shifting and sifting of governments, will use this opportunity to display the love of God for Israel and the Arab nations and Him being the only constant in a shifting and changing world.
- God gave us emotions so we are motivated to run to Him. Pray that many more Jewish people being very anxious in this season, will run to Jesus Christ their Messiah and in Him find tru rest and peace (Isaiah 26:3)
Nations Facing Institutional Shake-ups
There is a lot of crisis in the continent of Africa and the Middle East, with people demanding that their incumbent leaders, including royalty to step down and let them choose new leaders.
The children of Israel made a similar cry when they were frustrated by the leadership of Samuel’s sons. Therefore they rejected God’s chosen mode of leadership where He was their God and they had spokespeople –judges who represented them before the Lord together with priests and prophets.
They said “anything but Samuel’s sons. Please give us a king like the gentile nations.” This was sad.
- It could be the scenario almost all over the continent of Africa. People are so disappointed in the leadership at various levels that this has become their cry – “any leader, anyone but the people in power.”
- Pray for Africa’s leadership. Pray that the sons who had been nurtured in hibernation will be made manifest in this season all over the continent from likely and unlikely place.
- Pray that in this season, as God continues to judge the thrones of the continent, and redefine the foundations of His throne – righteousness and justice; then the church will be faithful to follow closely and pray concerning the whole process and cover it so that the voids being created will not be filled with “anyone but the incumbent.” They will be filled with Jubilee sons who will usher the continent into her place in God. Pray this for every single gate of society.

- Pray for the church in the above nations that there will be a renewing of faith to arise and shine in this season of new beginnings, especially in Tunisia, Morocco Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
- Pray that world missions will be re-activated from North Ireland and Ireland as they celebrate the great missionary and founder of the Celtic church Patricius.
- The Celtic church preserved the word of God and a vibrant Kingdom lifestyle during the dark ages when the rest of Europe had turned into apostasy. Pray that there shall arise preservers of God’s word in these nations today as the church goes into slumber once more, and the nations of Europe slide into another dark age where they have rejected God.
- Thank God for Ghana and her prophetic role in ushering the rest of sub-Saharan Africa into a season of jubilee. On March 6 2006 Ghana had completed 49 years and she entered her 50th year as a sovereign independent state. That season between 2006 and 2007 was her year of jubilee.
The continent was at once invited to join in this celebration due to the significant place Ghana occupies in the scheme of things on the continent and to the purpose of God in the Diasporas.
Ghana by acronym means GOD HAS A NEW AFRICA. She is chosen by grace to lead the way for the emergence of the NEW AFRICAN. As the continent was ushered into the jubilee season through Ghana, it means that every experience the continent will have thereon, is new.
That aptly explains the immensely “prophetic” words of her first president Dr. Kwame Nkrumah:
“The independence of Ghana is meaningless unless it is linked with the total liberation of the African continent.” (From the Inaugural Speech on the 1st Independence Day, Midnight March 6 1957).
[…] By prophetic inference, Ghana’s jubilee began the jubilee of a lifetime – the season of the acceptable year of the Lord, for people of African extraction the world over. It also commenced the season of the vengeance of the Lord, which began to fully manifest since then – starting with the global financial crisis, and came to a head among governments starting this year 2011.
The nations of Africa indeed began the process of liberation three short years later. In 1960 eighteen more nations were liberated into independent states in Africa. Most of these were Francophone nations, which we are paying particular focus on during this new season (portions culled from “Enter Your Jubilee” ©2009 Abu Bako).
Political Elections
As mentioned in our other prayer guides, we encourage you to keep praying for a nation’s election for at least2-3 years before the fact. That way, you pray without the frenzy of campaigns and the attendant pressures. Also God can begin to reveal the person whom He wants to raise in position of leadership. Whilst we do endeavor to put down various nations we have also uploaded a 2 year election calendar watch for your information on the various nations which are going for elections up until 2012. Use the information regularly and mention these nations in your prayers on a frequent basis.
Be like Mary who anointed Jesus for his death and burial way before the actual event. While everyone else was scrambling around to do their good deed after He had died, and missed the opportunity because He was risen, she could rest content that she had done her bit on time. Be like the five clever virgins who paid the price of preparation before hand, so that when the bride-groom did appear, they entered into their rest while the foolish virgins scrambled around trying to do a hasty last minute job.
Let us not be fire-fighters and crisis intercessors. Such an important matter as a nation or region, or constituency leadership should not be taken as lightly as it has been done in the past. Let this sacred new year commence a new beginning and new attitude toward matters of elections.
For the calendar, visit our website or make a request via email. Print it out, post it on your notice-board in your prayer closet and let it always be there to remind you that all authority, comes from God, and you want to be God’s vessel through whom He will institute the authorities in the nations. Your prayers on this matter, make a great difference in the spiritual realm. Do not take them lightly.
Read Isaiah 43:18-21 and 60-61 as you make the following prayers for the various new beginnings:
- Thank God for the just concluded Uganda elections which went smoothly. We prayed and many others have been praying both in Uganda and in the nations. We want to give God glory for the peaceful election. Continue to pray that the Lord will give the president wisdom in this jubilee year to recruit around him people who will run with Gods redemptive vision for that nation. Whatever he needs to deposit in the nation in the coming season will be deposited. Whatever the nation needs to release to him will be done . Raise jubilee men and women to run all other government positions so as to propel that nation into her jubilee in all its fullness.
- The 2011 New Zealand general election will determine the membership of the 50th New Zealand Parliament. The election will be held on Saturday 26 November 2011, Pray prophetically for that nation’s jubilee parliament.
- Whenever the New Age agenda is being released into the nations, the first gate through which they experiment anything is New Zealand followed by South Africa. Pray that this year’s 50th Parliament will be one which is filled with Jubilee sons (daughters included in the word) who will represent God’s purposes for every gate of society. Theirs shall be a lasting Godly impact on this generation and the ones to come.
- Pray that in this new Jubilee leadership there will arise God’s chosen elders and watchmen at the gates of this key nation, which ushers the world into new seasons in very significant ways. The watchmen and elders will allow only God’s purposes into the nations and reject and lock out every ungodly pattern.
The Francophone nations of Africa will be entering their 50th year since they made the amoral but legal Colonial pact with France, relinquishing all real power and control over their nations to France; and running their nations as if, on behalf of Paris.
It makes Francophone nation governments and economic institutions mere figure-heads while all control is really held by a powerful elite and Masonic “African Cell” which reports only to the president of France.(For more info download detailed “France Freemasonry & Francafrique” write-up on our website or order via email)
- Pray that in this jubilee season the Francophone nations which are locked up in this unfair covenant will be set free to return to their inheritance.
- Pray that there will be a commencement of restitution by the church in France followed by the government
- Pray that there shall be a mass Aaliyah of Africans in the French diasporas who will return to rebuild their nations which have already entered into their jubilee season
- Only God can give the necessary wisdom to break every ungodly covenant which was made between France and the Francophone nations May God arise on behalf of the continent and His enemy be scattered in this His season. Pray that God will ride forth victoriously on behalf of righteousness humility and truth to break Africa free from the unjust shackles of neo-servitude in every way shape or form it has manifested in the continent.
PRAYING GOD’S PATTERNS INTO THE HEAVENS
To comprehend the following prayer points, you need to have a basic understanding of the heavens and their significant role in the purposes of God. We reject all forms of astrology, star-gazing, horoscopes and such demonic perversions of what God has given man to use for life and godliness.
Therefore you may download the teaching “Understanding the Heavens” or request it via email. Only then will you understand the significance of what God is revealing in these last days concerning what Jesus said “There shall be signs in the heavens”.
Crescents and Quarter Moons
When the shape of the moon is like a C or its mirror image, it is a crescent; but when it looks like a D or its mirror image (quarter moons) then it is a bow.
The first quarter moon is on the 12th of March 2011 @ 23:45 UT and the last quarter moon is on the 26th of March 2011 @ 12:07 UT
- The occult use the quarter moons as spiritual bows to shoot destructive arrows to cause calamity of varied magnitude in the lives of the righteous. Pray that the voice of the Lord will confront every arrow shot at the righteous, and that perpetuators of such evil will be cut off from the land of the living except they repent. Pray through Ps 29
The full moon is on the 19th of March 2011 @ 18:10 UT
- The Lord is calling all those who belong to Him to live their daily lives in His presence, imbibing the full everlasting light of God. Pray that those who belong to the Lord will fully give themselves to Isa 40:31; 58, Acts 6:4, and enjoy Isa 60:19-20 and Rev 22:5
- At full moon, the agents of the kingdom of darkness indulge in sexual, sacrificial, transactional and other orgies that are sacrilegious. Proclaim Micah 5:12-15; Nah 3:1-12
Vernal/Spring Equinox is on the 20th of March 2011 @ 23:21 UT
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. At that point in time, the earth is at zero tilt to the sun.
This occurs twice a year, in which there are approximately 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. This is a major gate to the seasons of the year because it opens up the year.
- Proclaim Isaiah 43:18-21.
The vernal equinox is very important to the occult and all agents of darkness because sacrifices and offerings, offered at night or day to their “god” carry the same weight and attract the same reward because of the equal 12 hour duration of time for both night and day.
This provides an opportunity for them to give special thanksgiving offerings to their “god” for his “mercies” toward them in the past year, and to make sacrifices to him soliciting his continued “mercies” of protection and provision for the New Year.
It is also a time when they make projections and prognostications into the heavens for the purpose of controlling people, events and circumstances on earth.
- Ask the Lord to release the blood of Jesus to locate and blot out every unrighteous utterances uttered into the heavens and to any part of creation (Col 2:14)
- Speak to the equator and every other major lay line including the Prime Meridian 0, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn and the International Date Line, to praise the Lord and receive only the bidding of His servants. Pray that the laylines will reject every speaking, incantation and command which comes from any other source, using them for selfish purposes.
- Instruct the gate of the spring season to lift up its head and receive the king of glory who is coming in to reign over the seasons. (Ps 24:7-10)
- Dedicate and devote all the seasons of the year to the One who owns them: He is the Possessor of the heavens and the earth. (Lev 27:28; Gen 14:22b)
The new moon opens the gate of the fourth lunar season on the 04th of March 2011 @ 20:46 UT
- The new moon is the real beginning of the month. Therefore, spend time in communion with God, and let His voice speak to you concerning the coming days. Then you will receive directions you require for a successful new month and beyond (Isa 66:23; Ps 29)
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.
- Thank God for the sacrifice of His Lamb Jesus Christ for all of creation. Celebrate the goodness of God with song, proclamation of scriptures as the Spirit will lead you.
- When the fullness of time was come, God sent forth His son (Gal 4:4) and that in due time Christ died for the ungodly (Rom 5:6). Those who have experienced the benefits of this Lamb’s sacrificial death for the redemption of man, Pray fervently that their lives will be lived before the Lord ever praising and thanking God for such demonstration of mercy to man.
The other three smaller group of stars called decans that form part of Aries describe the details of the process of redemption and enthronement. Pray especially for the redemption of Francophone Africa and the continent at large using the following:
Cassiopeia (The enthroned woman) represents the captive delivered, and preparing for her husband, the Redeemer.
- Declare Isa 54:5-8 and ask the Lord to give you a true understanding of your position as His bride; and His position as your Husband. Ask Him to show you how you will walk with Him as a good and submissive wife. Pray this for the church in Africa. Only when we know our position as His bride, then we shall represent Him effectively; and gain solutions for true redemption of Africa.
(The Sea Monster) represents the great enemy bound.
- Man cannot bind leviathan; the water spirits which plague the continent heavily and are used strongly by the Masonic movement and other occult groups to control, manipulate, oppress the continent. God can. Pray that the Lord will break the head of Leviathan in the church. When the church is free, she then can help the nations; to totally liberate His people, their families and the nations from such the works of Leviathan and all the surrogate spirits that attend to him among Africans wherever they are. (Ps 74:12-14)
Perseus (The breaker) Delivering His redeemed
- Pray that Jesus the Glorious Breaker will take His place before His redeemed, breaking forth at their head, breaking down all barriers, breaking the head of Leviathan and all his surrogate spirits and hosts, breaking every ungodly covenant made to hold back the continent from fulfilling its redemptive purposes. . (Micah 2:13)
DECLARE INTO THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, THAT THE WHOLE EARTH WILL LIVE AND WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD (Isa 2:5)
