Day 14: God’s Vision For The Ministry - HOZ

“In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.” Isaiah 2:2. This has always been the backbone for this ministry. We are in the last days and we must trust God to establish his counsel here on earth. He can only do so through an available and ready vessel. When he needed a savior for the world, he looked for a virgin womb and found Mary’s womb fitted for the job. Luke 1: 28 “When the angel entered her home, he greeted her and said, “You are favored by the Lord! The Lord is with you.”  In HOZ we  have been given a mandate to train, mentor, teach and equip the body of Christ with God’s  word which is able to impact lives, bring freedom, deliverance, healing and transformation to God’s people. God is working with us (Equipping us) to become his mountain where he can shine forth and attract all the nations of the earth. For according to Isaiah 57:7 “..these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” God is establishing within us the ministry of prayers. The Apostle Paul stated in Philippians 3:8 “More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish that I may gain Christ.” Until we get to the place as the Apostle, where every other thing is counted as loss, it can be very difficult for us to come to the full understanding of what it means to know Christ. Every other thing must be surrendered at the foot of the cross. This means we must live a life that only JESUS matters at any time and any place. When we come to God we must have confidence in the fact that his divine power is at work to bring this verse to pass. “For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence” 2 Peter 1:3. This makes it more important for HOZ to exemplify 2 Peter 1:10  which states;  “Therefore, believers, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you [be sure that your behavior reflects and confirms your relationship with God]; for by doing these things [actively developing these virtues], you will never stumble [in your spiritual growth and will live a life that leads others away from sin).” 

Prayer Points

  • We are invited once again to the altar of the Lord to  surrender to the Father saying; by your mercies oh Lord I dedicate my entire being that has been made alive only in Christ as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to you my Lord, and not holding anything back. I bring everything about me to you this day and all the other days to follow in my life going forward as this is the holy thing that pleases you my Lord. I ask Father for the grace and power that transforms lives to transform my body, soul, and spirit, so that I will live from this day forward only in the heavenly pattern in order to fulfill my purpose on the earth:  “Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship. And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you.” Romans 12:1-2

  • Pray that the Lord will establish HOZ like the mountain of the Lord where nations will come to drink:  “In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.” Isaiah 2:2

  • Pray that HOZ will seek everything about God’s kingdom every day: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

  • Pray that the anointing Jesus poured upon his Apostles will be release upon HOZ; the power and authority to drive out demons, cure disease, heal the sick, and proclaim the Gospel of salvation and deliverance: “When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” Luke 9:1-2

  • God has all the tools needed to make HOZ worthy of the calling of God. Therefore, pray for the grace and power of God to be at work over this ministry so that we will accomplish every aspect of the work God has placed in us: “To this end, we always pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of His calling, and that He will powerfully fulfill your every good desire and work of faith.” 2 Thessalonians 1:11

  • Pray that the spirit of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel, and strength of God, will rest over HOZ: “The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him--the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD.” Isaiah 11:2

  • Pray for the grace that reveals the truth of God’s word to rest over HOZ: “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.” Ephesians 1:17

  • Pray that the joy of the Lord will strengthen and establish this ministry as a house of prayer:– “..these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” Isaiah 56:7

  • Pray that God will release upon HOZ the grace of Elijah: “He also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha crossed over.” 2 Kings 2:13-14

  • Pray for the grace of fruit bearing and those that will last until the coming of the Lord: “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.” John 15:16

  • Pray and declare this passage for HOZ and all those who have sown to this ministry: ‘’The Lord says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying, “Rule in the midst of your enemies!” Your troops will be willing on your day of battle.” Psalm 103: 1-3

  • Pray that the Lord who is the sun and shield over HOZ , will provide the grace and glory for his work, as he is not the kind that will withhold anything from us: “For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.” Psalm 84:11

  • Pray for the grace to obey God’s voice as he speaks and leads: Deuteronomy 28:1 "Now if you faithfully obey the voice of the LORD your God and are careful to follow all His commandments I am giving you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth”.

  • Pray that the Lord will prepare rich food for HOZ and all those who are connected with this ministry: “On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine – the best of meats and the finest of wines.” Isaiah 25:6

  • Pray that the gates of HOZ shall never be shut, day and night, so that the wealth of the nation will be brought in for the Lord’s work: “Your gates will always stand open; they will never be shut, day or night, so that the wealth of the nations may be brought into you, with their kings being led in procession”. Isaiah 60:11

  • On this very mountain, that Lord shall destroy all those who stand against this ministry: “On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations;” Isaiah 25:7

  • Pray that those who rise against HOZ will be broken into pieces - the Lord thunders. Pray that the Lord will strengthen HOZ and elevate our horn: The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.” 1 Samuel 2:10
