Week 3
Sept 28- Oct 4
Day 15 | Monday
Pray for Kingdom Progression!
Philippians 1:6 (AMPC) - And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.
Isaiah 54:2-3 (NIV) - Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.
Philippians 1:6 (NIV) - Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Devotion
Kingdom progression means continuing to move forward in what God has begun. We may not always see immediate evidence of growth, but God is faithfully developing, refining, and advancing His work in us. Every season—whether of preparation, transition, stretching, or breakthrough—has purpose.
We do not have to force progression; we need only to remain yielded, obedient, and faithful. As we follow God’s direction, He develops our character, increases our capacity, and positions us for greater Kingdom impact. What our Father has started, He is faithful to complete in us.
Prayer
Father, in Jesus’ name, thank You that what You have begun, You are committed to completing. Cause us to be committed to progressing Your Kingdom.
By the power of the blood of Jesus, we bind stagnation, hesitation, and anything that hinders forward movement. We loose growth, advancement, and forward mobility. We declare, “THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN,” and it cannot be otherwise!
Lord, You said that the steps of a good man are ordered by You. We are good only because of You—Your grace and Your mercy. Father, align us with Your divine strategy. Give us grace to recognize and embrace every opportunity for Kingdom advancement.
May our lives continually progress from faith to faith, strength to strength, and glory to glory. We declare that we are moving forward, advancing, and increasing in every assignment that You have entrusted to us. We declare that no stagnation, delay, or distraction will hinder our progress.
Our steps are ordered by You, Father. Our capacity is increasing, and our influence is expanding for Kingdom impact. We are progressing from faith to faith, strength to strength, and glory to glory, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
Day 16 | Tuesday
Pray to see what God is saying
Mark 8:18 (NLT) - You have eyes—can’t you see? You have ears—can’t you hear?’ Don’t you remember anything at all?
Ephesians 1:17-18 (AMPC) - “...that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation... By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you...”
Habakkuk 2:2-3 (AMPC) - And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens by. For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.
Devotion
When God speaks, we need spiritual eyes to recognize what He is revealing. Seeing what God is saying requires more than natural sight; it requires wisdom, revelation, discernment, and a heart that is attentive to Him.
God reveals direction through His Word, circumstances, divine connections, closed doors, and opportunities, but we must slow down enough to perceive it. We must SEE what He is saying!
We cannot allow fear, past disappointments, assumptions, or our own agendas to distort what God is showing us. Together, let us ask God to flood the eyes of our hearts with light!
What looks like a delay may be preparation. What looks like an ending may be a transition. What looks insignificant may be the beginning of something much greater.
We must TRUST GOD TO SEE WHAT HE IS SAYING!
Prayer
Father, in Jesus’ name, open the eyes of our understanding and give us wisdom and revelation to clearly SEE what You are saying. Remove spiritual blindness, confusion, and distractions, and help us recognize Your voice, discern Your direction, and understand the vision You are revealing for this season.
Help us see beyond what is visible and respond in faith and obedience to what You reveal by Your Spirit. We declare that our spiritual eyes are open! We declare that WE CLEARLY SEE what You are saying, perceive what You are revealing, and understand what You desire and require.
We will not walk in confusion but in divine clarity. We receive wisdom, revelation, discernment, and understanding to see the vision, recognize the strategy, and move according to Your direction.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Day 17 | Wednesday
Pray to know the spiritual meaning behind Father’s Word.
Psalm 119:130 (AMPC) – The unfolding of Your words gives light; it gives understanding—discernment and comprehension—to the simple.
Proverbs 2:6 (AMP) - For the Lord gives skillful and godly Wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
1 Corinthians 2:14 (AMPC) - But the natural, nonspiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him... and he is incapable of knowing them—because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated.
Devotion
Jesus spoke to the people in parables, and the disciples inquired about what He meant. God’s Word is more than information; it is divine revelation, instruction, warning, promise, and purpose. We need the Holy Spirit to shift us beyond simply knowing God’s Word to understanding what He is communicating to us, for us, and through us.
Our Father’s Spirit gives us fresh sensitivity and spiritual understanding to discern His heart and recognize the significance behind what He is saying. It isn’t enough to memorize the Word; we must KNOW what the Father means and what He wants. His Word calls us to prepare, wait, move, surrender, believe, and obey.
When we seek God, He gives us the wisdom to understand what is beneath the surface and how His Word applies to our present season. Don’t merely ask, “What did God say?” Ask, “Father, what are You revealing to me through what You have said?”
We must position our hearts to listen, discern, and obey.
Prayer
Father, we pray that our thirst for deeper spiritual meaning and to KNOW what You want is quenched. We declare that what was once a wilderness is now an OASIS of understanding. Grant us keen insight into Your Word, as it was with the sons of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what Israel was supposed to do.
Father, give us Your wisdom, understanding, and discernment so that we accurately interpret Your Word and accurately discern the times and seasons, understanding the spiritual and political climate. Father, we declare that as we spend time with You and position our hearts toward You, the eyes of our understanding are enlightened, and we KNOW with precision and accuracy what You want us to know, understand, discern, and do for Kingdom advancement.
I declare that we have spiritual understanding to KNOW the meaning behind Your Word. Your Holy Spirit gives us wisdom, revelation, and discernment. I declare that we do not merely hear Your Word, but we comprehend it, recognize its significance, discern its purpose, and respond in obedience.
Father, give us a KNOWING beyond natural understanding. Open our spiritual eyes and ears to recognize Your revelation, understand Your heart, and walk in the truth You are revealing to us. I declare that our spiritual understanding is increasing and that we are becoming increasingly sensitive to what You are saying and doing in this new season.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Day 18 | Thursday
Pray that a move be stirred among us so that New Destiny hears ONE sound, as ONE people!
Acts 2:1-2 (AMPC) - And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all assembled together in one place, when suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.
Acts 4:31-32 (AMPC) - And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke the Word of God with boldness. Now the company of believers was of one heart and soul...
Devotion
God moves powerfully when His people are assembled in unity, aligned in heart, and yielded to His Spirit. In Acts, the believers were not merely gathered in the same location; they were united in purpose. Their unity created an atmosphere in which the Spirit of God could move, the place was shaken, and they became bold witnesses.
A move of God among us begins when we allow the Holy Spirit to remove division, competing agendas, hurt, offense, pride, and anything that causes us to hear different voices instead of the voice of His Spirit. God is calling His Church beyond simply being together to BEING ONE people with ONE heart, ONE purpose—Kingdom advancement—and ONE sound.
May we become so aligned with Heaven that our worship, prayer, faith, and proclamation carry ONE sound—not our individual agendas, but our Father’s agenda. Not competing voices, but ONE Spirit. Not scattered hearts, but ONE heart and soul.
May we hear ONE SOUND as ONE PEOPLE, united to please the ONE and ONLY TRUE AND LIVING GOD—OUR FATHER!
Prayer
Father, in the name of Jesus, stir up a fresh move of Your Spirit among us. Unite Your Church as ONE people, with ONE heart, ONE purpose, and ONE sound. Cause us to hear Your voice clearly and respond together as ONE in obedience.
Let Your presence shake everything that needs to be shaken, awaken what has become dormant, and ignite a fresh hunger, boldness, faith, and love within us. May we move together under the leadership of Bishop Smith as he follows Your Holy Spirit. Father, cause us to become ONE powerful witness for Your Kingdom, in Jesus’ name.
We declare that Your Spirit is stirring among us! We are ONE people, ONE Church, ONE body, and ONE sound under the leadership of Your Spirit. We declare that division will not prevail, competing voices will not prevail, and confusion will not prevail!
We hear Your voice, we align with Heaven’s agenda, and we move together in unity, power, boldness, and Kingdom purpose. Let the Church arise as ONE as we hear ONE SOUND from Heaven! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Revelations 2:7 (NIV) - Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV) - Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
Devotion
Spiritual acumen is the ability to discern and understand spiritual truths and realities so that we make wise decisions aligned with faith. It is having the sensitivity to be solely guided by Holy Spirit, with the capacity to interpret all of life’s circumstances and experiences through His lens to SEE and His ears to HEAR.
When God makes an announcement, make sure you are listening. He said, “Before they spring forth, I tell you of them.”
Father God is calling US, His Church, into a new level of spiritual hearing—not merely hearing words, but discerning what His Spirit is saying beneath the words. Spiritual acumen gives us the ability to recognize God’s voice, understand His intention, discern His timing, and distinguish His direction from every competing voice.
Let’s ask Father to awaken our ears to hear what we previously overlooked. As we become quiet before Him, let’s surrender all and remain attentive to His Word and Spirit. As we do, our capacity to discern will increase.
The question is not simply, “Did we hear?” but rather, “Did we understand what God’s Spirit is saying, and will we respond?”
Prayer
Father, awaken Your Church! Tune our spiritual ears to the frequency of Heaven so that we recognize what You are saying, even when You speak through a still, small voice. Sharpen our ability to discern between Your voice, our own thoughts, and the voice of the enemy.
Give us ears to hear beyond the obvious and hearts to perceive beyond the natural. Let us recognize divine patterns, understand the significance of what You are revealing, and discern the spiritual meaning behind what is happening around us. Remove spiritual dullness and increase our sensitivity to Your presence, Your Word, and Your leading.
Father, give Your Church ears to hear what others cannot hear, eyes to perceive what others cannot see, and wisdom to know what to do with what You reveal. Cause what we hear from You to produce faith, alignment, obedience, and unified action.
We receive NEW spiritual acumen and greater spiritual perception. We will not simply hear Your Word; cause us to weigh it, understand it, receive it, and walk it out. We declare that our spiritual ears are OPEN and awakened afresh, in Jesus’ mighty name! Amen.
Pray for the church to intentionally hear with NEW spiritual acumen!’
Day 19 | Friday
Day 20 | Saturday
Ephesians 5:15-17 (AMPC) – Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as the wise... Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is.
Colossians 3:17 (NIV) - And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him
Proverbs 16:3 (AMPC) - Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will], and so shall your plans be established and succeed.
Devotion
God did not create us to simply exist; we were intentionally created with divine purpose. Every believer has been uniquely designed and positioned to fulfill the works that God prepared in advance.
Living on purpose means refusing to drift through life according to circumstance, convenience, or personal preference. Instead, we must live intentionally, aligning our lives with God’s assignment. Our everyday choices must always advance God’s Kingdom. Make every ordinary moment an opportunity for divine impact.
We must live intentionally, serve faithfully, love deliberately, and faithfully steward what God has entrusted to us.Our purpose is not merely something we discover; it is something we faithfully walk out with God.
So, WALK IT OUT!
“We must not chase after Purpose, but we must LIVE ON PURPOSE.”
-Apostle Terrell Murphy
Prayer
Father, awaken Your Church to the purpose for which You created us. Forgive us for drifting and living without intentionality. Give us clarity to recognize our assignments, courage to embrace them, and discipline to faithfully fulfill them. Order our steps and align our priorities with Your Kingdom agenda. Let everything we say and do bring glory to You. May our lives carry intentional Kingdom impact wherever You have positioned us, in Jesus’ mighty name.
We declare that we will LIVE ON PURPOSE! We are Your workmanship, intentionally created and divinely positioned for Kingdom purpose. We declare this day that we will not drift, waste time, or live according to circumstance, but WE WILL LIVE according to Your design.
Our gifts, opportunities, relationships, resources, and influence are intended for Your glory. Be Thou glorified through us as we LIVE ON PURPOSE! Our lives will make a Kingdom difference because we are living intentionally, walking purposefully, and advancing Your Kingdom agenda, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
“We must LIVE ON PURPOSE.”
— Apostle Terrell Murphy
Pray to live on purpose
Day 21 | Sunday
Pray to ‘BE IN HIM. LIVE HIM!’
John 15:4 (AMPC) - Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] As no branch can bear fruit of itself, without abiding in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.
Galatians 2:20 (AMPC) - I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in the Son of God who loves me and gave Himself for me.
Colossians 2:5-7 (MSG)- I'm a long way off, true, and you may never lay eyes on me, but believe me, I'm on your side, right beside you. I am delighted to hear of the careful and orderly ways you conduct your affairs, and impressed with the solid substance of your faith in Christ. My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you've been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now LIVE HIM. You're deeply rooted in him. You're well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you've been taught. School's out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving.
Devotion
“School’s out...quit studying the subject, start LIVING IT…LIVE THE FAITH!”
We must BE the LIVING WORD on earth! Abiding in Christ is not simply visiting His presence; it is making Him our dwelling place, our source, our identity, and our life. It is IN HIM that we LIVE, MOVE, and HAVE OUR BEING!
When we remain in Him, His character shapes our character, His desires influence our decisions, and His purpose governs our priorities so that we no longer look like ourselves, but we look like Him; we sound like Him; we move like Him!WE ARE THE IMAGE OF OUR FATHER in the earth!
We stop trying to produce Kingdom fruit through human strength and instead draw from the TRUE VINE, our DIVINE SOURCE. We press toward the mark for the prize of the HIGH CALLING of God in Christ Jesus.
Our goal is not merely to have Christ in our lives; it is for CHRIST TO BE the life that we now live.
Prayer
Father, draw us deeper into You. We declare that WE ARE ONE with You! We abide in Christ, and He abides in us. It is no longer we who live, but CHRIST who LIVES in us!
Father, remove everything that competes with Your lordship. We have missed the mark, Father, by allowing our own flesh to live and rule. Reestablish Christ as our source, our identity, and our pattern. We decrease so that You may increase.
May everything we do reveal that WE LIVE IN YOU and that we are Your embodiment in the earth. Christ is not merely a part of our lives; YOU ARE our LIFE! We are rooted in You, established in You, and completely dependent upon You.
Your presence shapes and molds us; Your Word governs us; Your Spirit leads us; and Your love and character are revealed through us. We declare that we live in Your strength, walk in Your purpose, and represent You in everything we do. We continually bear good fruit that remains.
We are hidden with Christ in YOU! So, Father, glorify Yourself through us. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
