H.I.M GLOBAL PRAYER (2014)

Dear HIM Family,

Warm greetings in the Wonderful Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As 2014 dawns upon us, I am sure many of our churches are planning to move forward with God. That is great. I am also asking that before we surge ahead, we posture ourselves in humility and in reverential fear before The Lord. We can do that on our knees, in prayers, seeking His Face.

We are believing for headways into different areas of our DNA - for more souls to be saved; successful discipleship; raising various levels of leaders and planting healthy churches in all our designated regions. God can help us to accomplish all these supernaturally, as we look to His Anointing over our people and our churches.

Let us give ourselves to prayer and to acknowledge our dependence upon Him. Let us commune deeper with Him as we start this new year together. Let us go on our knees, as we seek to go to the heights of our Master's call!

"Even now," declares the LORD, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning. Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. “  Joel 2:12-13 NIV

Desiring a greater Harvest.
