Prayer for Future Husband

by

Prayer for Future Husband–Human science has attempted to
speculate about the future by observing trends from nature.
And it has, to a large extent, made many almost perfect
prognosis.

“And He said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out
of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and
so it is. And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There
will be heat; and it cometh to pass.” (Luke 12:54-55).

But matters related to destiny cannot be judged that way. The
choice of a marriage partner is one not to be taken lightly
because it would affect the whole course of one's life. It must
be committed to God.

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine
own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He
shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Divine Partnership: God and man have to partner together
for the fulfilment of destiny. When God designs it, man must
need cooperate with Him to make it happen. So, it is just not
possible to do it without Him. A good husband is not one to
find by random sampling of men. It has to come from God.

“Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I
am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which
leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go” (Isaiah
48:17).

“There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch,
and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be
gathered, every one with her mate. Seek ye out of the book of
the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want
her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it
hath gathered them” (Isaiah 34:15-16).

The Importance of Choosing the Right Husband: Christ is
the Head of the man, and the man is the head of the woman.
If she chooses the right man as her husband, she'll have
Christ as the Cornerstone of the home. Whoever is her
husband determines who is the Cornerstone of her home.

“But I would have you know, that the Head of every man is
Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the Head
of Christ is God” (1 Corinthians 11:3).

Prayer for Future Husband

Thanksgiving: Thank You Father for the institution of the
home. Thank You for establishing the home as a co-builder of
the society with You. Be glorified in Jesus name.
Divine Arrangements: Father, wherever the bone of my bone
is, bring him to me in Jesus name. Lead us to each other and
let none of us stray away from the path of Your purpose for us
in marriage in Jesus name. Whatever situation will bring us
together, trigger it in Jesus name.
“So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied,
there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came
together, bone to his bone” (Ezekiel 37:7).
Specifications: Father, give me a husband that:

1. Loves and fears You;
2. Has passion for Your kingdom;
3. Loves me;
4. Is responsible;
5. Will be a good and godly father to our children;
6. Will mentor me;
7. Will be a father to the fatherless and helpless;
8. Is peaceful;
9. Is visionary;
10. Has integrity;
11. Is disciplined;
12. Is humble to admit his mistakes and weaknesses
and ready to change when corrected; etc.
Lord, I don’t want a husband who is a disgrace to Your name,
or would not allow me to be all that You want me to be.
Father, let his family love me, and accept me. Let them take
me as their daughter, sister and friend in Jesus name.
Thank You for answered prayers. In Jesus name I have
prayed. Amen!

The Ultimate Guide To Fasting and Prayer

by

You’ve probably thought of fasting and prayer which is why you are searching.

Prayer on its own can be easy…

But to couple it with Fasting? It isn’t easy at all but the reward is great ! Acts 9

11  Reasons why fasting and prayer is important

So the greatest teacher once said some things will not happen except by prayer and fasting. Here’s why it’s important to fast and pray:

  1. Your soul becomes humble (a great virtue)
  2. Therefore, you’ll easily connect with God
  3. It will revive your spirit
  4. Your selfishness is suppressed.
  5. Anxieties will diminish
  6. Mental clarity will increase
  7. Stubborn problems will be solved.
  8. Tough times in life’s journey will be easier
  9. You’ll gain heightened awareness
  10. Your overall health  rebounds (soul and body)
  11. The reasons are endless…

Why does Fasting and prayer work:

Several examples ahead have probed that it works. It works because:

  • God

Why is fasting and prayer so powerful:

The reason for its powerful effect is :

  • Because it’s a sacrifice.
    As you progress from 1 day fast to 7 days to 21 days fast your sacrifice increases. The greater the sacrifice, the greater the reward. You’ll notice Jesus went as long as 40days to begin his life’s purpose and went on to end his ministry by laying down his life.As soon as you give your life, you’ve offered the ultimate sacrifice.Giving is the greatest sacrifice!II Kings 3:26-27:
  • Concentration
    As you fast, your concentration is bolstered and focus is multiplied. When this is combined with prayer, it becomes effective and powerful. Your prayer becomes fervent as your thoughts and energies are totally devoted in prayer. As it is said that the effectual fervent prayer of the rigtheous availeth much.

How long should I fast?

The length of a fast can be determined first with common & acquired sense and second by the leading of the holy spirit.

By Common/acquired sense, i just mean you have to understand the basics of human biology and that the body cannot stay long without food and water !

    1. The maximum is 3 days without food and water.

Some call this the absolute fast. 

Exceeding 3 days without water and food is not common and people have died going beyond this limit

It’s simply dangerous!

Even though it’s feasible, I’d do not encourage this type of fast because water remains the most important thing for human life.

By acquired sense, you will learn how to break a fast.

Mastering how to climb a mountain requires skill and descending also requires the same sort of skill.

That’s the case with fasting.

Coming out of a fast must be done with skill.

You will have to acquire this skill by reading other books (professional experience) and also listening to your body.

Again, not to scare, but people have died breaking or coming out of a fast the wrong way!.

  1. With water taken regularly, the maximum is 40 days.

Dr. Michael Peel gathered this and not more than 40 days the longest people could survive in his studies linked here.

So if you must fast, fast no more than 40days making sure you stay hydrated.

Types of Fasting?

I’ll classify types of fasting into three types depending on the diet involved:

  1. Absolute Fast
    You’ll not eat any food or drink water for 3 days.I described this a bit earlier. In scriptures, Esther (Esther 4:16) is an example. Saul is a 2nd (Acts 9:9)
  2. Water Fast

    You’ll only drink water every for a certain length of days you choose. It’s possible to go the length of 40days.
  3. Partial Fast
    You’ll take real food at the end of the fast each day. The fast starts when you wake up and then you break the fast at lunch or dinner time.
  4. Daniel Fast
    You’ll take fruits or vegetables every day for the length of days you choose. It’s possible to go the full length of 21 days as Daniel did.
  • Level 1: 1 to 3 Days Fasting
  • Level 2: 3 to 21 Days Fasting
  • Level 3: 21 to 40 Days Fasting When you start thinking of entering this level, you are probably looking for something greater! You’ve been inspired by Jesus, prompted by the holy spirit that you should do this for a greater calling. It is not for everybody, for this level requires much faith to enter.Moses, Jesus, Elijah, are the prominent examples in scripture.And they were all prophets…
