Government 10th September
“After
consulting with the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and
to praise Him for His holiness as they went out at the head of the army”
2 Chronicles 20: 21
We declare
the song of the victory of Jesus will rise above this nation, changing
atmospheres and touching lives, that the sound of worship will be heard over
every success, challenge and failure, national and personal. We declare as the
Children of God put their eyes upon Jesus, they will be lifted above every
situation and circumstance, that new joy and new strength will come upon them.
Now, in
the Name of Jesus, we speak the release of a fresh wind of Your Spirit to come
upon Parliament, aligning the words and thoughts of our leaders across this
land with Your Kingdom will and plans, and we declare shift where there needs
to be shift, turnaround where there needs to be a turning, and change where
there needs to be change.
In the
Name of Jesus, over this season and the season ahead, across every division,
change and confusion, we decree and declare this nation will be led at all
times by men and women appointed by You. We decree the mantle of Your wisdom
and authority will clearly mark out those You have chosen both already
established and those yet to be positioned, that a new level of direction,
purpose and unity aligned with Your purpose will arise.

The
Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be

BLESS YOUR ENEMIES
Jesus
challenges us to love our enemies. Craftivist Sarah Corbett suggests how to do
this as part of gentle activism to make the world more peaceable and beautiful.
Identify someone with influence over an issue you feel strongly about, who you
see as part of the problem. Find out as much about them as you can (who their
heroes are, what they enjoy, even what they wear) and try to understand the
pressures they are under. Take time to make a personalised gift or card for
them to show them support, to build them up as they take difficult decisions,
encouraging them to remember the impact they can have for good. Whilst you are
making this, and after you have sent it, pray the priestly blessing (Numbers
6:24-26) for them.
PRAYER
Father
of all, help me to move from hate to love; from them to us; from against, to
with. Give me compassion for my enemies. Inspire me to pray for them and seek
to bless them. [Dr
