Thought for the day on Discipleship
For me as a harverster as opposed to the one who sows and waters, I have found it very difficult and possibly not my gifting to Disciple the newly born babes. I came out of a large church that numbered over 40 000 members when I left 17 years ago, it appeared it was more the work of the Holy Spirit than of man. Whilst the preaching from the pulpit was strong and profound, there was a lack of connection between area pastors and the home cell structure, so the discipleship structure was flawed. Therefore the enthusiasm came from the Sunday preaching, touching our hearts and in turn we transferred that enthusiasm on from one to another. There was an urgency to get people saved then once we got them to come to church the Holy Spirit would set them on fire, they couldn't get enough preaching and teaching. Without the help of the Holy Spirit, without the leaders hungering after God are we able to be discipled effectively? It's the fire in your heart that will set others ablaze for God, let us seek to be on fire for Yeshua.

Prayer Requests
Let's pray for the following to Father God in the name Yeshua:
Fire of God
Father we pray for Your fire to fall on us, may Your fire consume our souls, use us to set the world aflame. We ask that Holy Spirit to fan those embers of coal within our hearts that we may move from one realm to a higher realm of Your Spirit, that when You call for us to come up higher we will obey.
Our Families
We come against any power of darkness preventing or hindering our children from serving You with all of their hearts. We speak those things that be not as though they are; we call them into everlasting life.
Secularism
We come against the spirit of secularism in our nations, Father may Your children rise up with fire in their bellies and declare Your greatness amongst the nations.
South Africa
We bind the spirits of ancestral worship, witchcraft and sorcery, in this nation. Bring deliverance to souls of those people. We break the power of the murdering, thieving and spirits of destruction. We speak ,peace and righteousness in the Holy Spirit over South Africa.
European Union
We bind the spirit of Baal worship over the U.K. and Europe, Lord we pray that You send Your fire over these nations, we pray that those with hearts after You will be set aflame by Your Spirit. We pray for Your hand of protection over Your children. "Fear not for I Am is with You" says the Lord of Hosts.
Our Enemies
Yeshua said in Mathew 5 v44: "But I say unto you; Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you". We do not war against flesh and blood therefore we pray for those who have demons using them to come against us in the name of Yeshua.
