DAILY DEVOTIONAL & PRAYER GUIDE

DAY 1 – SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1

The Nature of God’s Love

1 John 4:7-10; John 14:15 Romans 8:35-39
7  Beloved, let’s love one another; for love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 By this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

 

John 14:15
5  “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

 

Romans 8:35-39
35  Who will separate us from the love of  [a] Christ? Will tribulation, or trouble, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?  36  Just as it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We were regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37  But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.  38  For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,  39  nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

Devotional:
God’s love is not just an action or feeling, but His very essence. As we begin this journey, reflect on how God demonstrated His love by sending Jesus when we were still sinners. How does understanding God’s unconditional love change your perspective on your relationship with Him? Our love for God is demonstrated through obedience. We are reminded that its not about following rules out of fear but responding to His love with devotion. Consider areas in your life where obedience is challenging. View these challenges through the lens of love for God and pray for a deeper love that fuels joyful obedience. His love sustains us through trials and spiritual warfare. When facing difficulties, its our love for God that keeps us anchored. Ask God to deepen your love so that it. Becomes an unshakeable foundation in times of adversity. Therefore, true love for God requires putting Him first above all else. This may mean
making some difficult choices that honor HIM over personal desires or societal pressures.
If you are ready and willing to embark on this 21day journey, begin with revisiting your true love form HIM and choosing to put HIM above all else. Even take this day to repent for anything you have placed before HIM. Let’s start with the pure expression of love and repentance so this Consecration brings glory and honor to HIM in the fullest because we are preparing for the impossible.

 

DAY 2 – MONDAY, DECEMBER 2

God’s Love is Unfailing

Romans 8:26:39 NASB

26  Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;  27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

 

28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. 29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers and
sisters;  30 and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.

 

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32  He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring charges against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies;  34  who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, but rather, was  [e] raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.  35 Who will separate us from the love of  [f] Christ? Will tribulation, or trouble, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?  36  Just as it is written:

 

Devotional:
God’s love for us is unconditional and unshakeable. We sometimes in difficult times need to be reminded. No matter our performance or failures, His love remains constant. Reflect on times when you’ve felt unworthy of God’s love due to your shortcomings. Remember that God’s love isn’t based on your actions but on His character. Even our deepest struggles, when words fail us, the Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf. This intimate connection with God transcends our limitations, Lets pause for a moment and reflect when you felt too weak or overwhelmed to pray. Take comfort in knowing the Spirit is advocating for you. During this consecration Silent prayer, allows the Spirit to intercede with “groaning too deep for words’. You may not fully understand but the Holy Spirit is interceding on your behalf for what you don’t have words to express. Remember God works all things for the good of those
who love HIM, even our struggles and weaknesses. His purpose prevails despite our shortcomings. Are you facing a difficult situation right now; think about how God might be using this for your ultimate good and His glory. Ask God to help you trust His purpose, even when you can’t see the outcome.

​

DAY 3 – TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3

Rekindle the Love, Rekindle the Fire

Revelations 2:4-5
4 But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Therefore, remember from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the  [a] deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and I will remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.

​

Devotional:
As we are in our 3rd day of consecration, perhaps all that has been shared about HIS love for you; are you ready and willing to respond to His love. Have life’s battles even until now with all the weights and warfare pulled you away from HIM. Now would be a good time to return to your first love. He never stopped loving you instead always ready to welcome you home, welcome you back into the love and relationship you have missed. This is not a time to run from God, but a time to run to HIM. Lets look at it another way. Its easy to become so focused on doing things for God that we neglect our relationship with HIM. Yes you may be doing good works to please HIM but what He values the most is the intimacy He desires with YOU. He desires our affection more than accomplishments. He warns that if we don’t return to our first love, He would remove our lampstand which means His presence. I don’t know about you but I don’t ever want Him to remove His presence.Think about it for a moment, when you first encounter HIM, reflect on what made your love for God so passionate? Take the steps now to rekindle that “first love” most likely through worship, extended prayer as we are now
challenged or just simply tripling your time sitting in His presence. We are on our way somewhere but our relationship must be strong, committed, and steadfast to handle what we are about to experience. We are preparing for the impossible.

​

DAY 4 – WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4

The Call to Return

Jeremiah 3:12-16

12  Go and proclaim these words toward the north and say,
‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord;
‘I will not  [a] look at you in anger.
For I am gracious,’ declares the Lord;
‘I will not be angry forever.
13  Only  [b] acknowledge your wrongdoing,
That you have revolted against the Lord your God,
And have scattered your  [c] favors to the strangers under every leafy tree,
And you have not obeyed My voice,’ declares the Lord.
14  ‘Return, you faithless sons,’ declares the Lord;
‘For I am a master to you,
And I will take you, one from a city and two from a family,
And bring you to Zion.’

 

Devotional:
God’s plea to His people is clear “Return”, faithless Israel” (12) This call to return is not one of
condemnation, but of mercy and hope. God promises to not stay angry forever and to bless those who return with “shepherds after my own Heart” (15). Consider today if there are areas in your life where you need to return to God. What’s holding you back? Remember, God’s mercy awaits you. Take a step towards Him today trusting in His promise of restoration and guidance.

 

DAY 5 – THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5

Renewing our Commitment

Hosea 2:14-20
14  “Therefore, behold, I am going to persuade her,
Bring her into the wilderness,
And speak  [a] kindly to her.
15  Then I will give her her vineyards from there,
And the  [b] Valley of Achor as a door of hope.
And she will  [c] respond there as in the days of her youth,
As in the day when she went up from the land of Egypt.
16  And it will come about on that day,” declares the Lord,
“That you will call Me  [d] my husband
And no longer call Me my  [e] Baal.
17  For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth,
So that they will no longer be  [f] mentioned by their names.
18  On that day I will also make a covenant for them
With the animals of the field,
The birds of the sky,
And the crawling things of the ground.
And I will  [g] eliminate the bow, the sword, and war from the land,
And will let them lie down in safety.
19  I will betroth you to Me forever;
Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice,
In favor and in compassion,
20  And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness.
Then you will know the Lord.

Devotional:
Through the prophet Hosea, God speaks of renewing His covenant with His people, promising faithfulness and love. “I will betroth you to me forever, I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion (19). This passage speaks to God’s desire for a renewed, intimate , relationship with us. Today, consider how you can renew your commitment to God. What practical steps can you take to deepen your relationship with Him? Perhaps its setting aside more time for prayer, committing to regular Bible study, or finding ways to serve others in His name. Remember, God is always faithful to
His promises – let your response be one of wholehearted devotion to Him.

​

DAY 6 – FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6

Did you catch FIRE?

 

Leviticus 6:12 NKJV
12  And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And
the priest shall burn wood on it every morning and lay the burnt offering in order
on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.
 

Devotional:
As a warrior in Christ, God wants to make you a house of prayer. You are a spiritual
house that holds the presence and indwelling Holy Spirit to lead and guide you; and
pray through you to the Father concerning every matter on His heart. Nothing happens
without prayer. As you prepare for the impossible; prayer must be an essential part of
this effort to abstain from youthful lusts, to keep your heart pure and refuse to give the
enemy place to steal, kill and destroy. But the needs of others require your prayers and
intercession too. The Holy Spirit wants you to be sensitive to HIM so He can share His
heart and concerns for people he deeply loves. If your prayer life has dwindled and your
spiritual eyes have grown a little dim it’s time to get fire on the altar. It’s time to catch the
fire. Maybe you just have a few embers, God will fan the flame until you begin to shine
bright and burn for HIM. Remember the fire on the altar must never go out. The altar of
your heart may need to ignite again. Let’s prepare for the impossible!

DAY 7 – SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7

Turning Our Attention to God to Pray

​

2 Chronicles 20:1-4
20 Now it came about after this, that the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon, together with some of the  [a] Meunites, came to make war against Jehoshaphat.  2  Then some came and reported to Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea, from  [b] Aram; and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar (that is Engedi).”  3  Jehoshaphat was afraid and  [c] turned his attention to seek the Lord; and he proclaimed a period of fasting throughout Judah.  4  So Judah gathered together to seek help from the Lord; they even came from all the cities of Judah to seek the Lord.

Devotional:

In times of crisis, our natural instinct is often fear. Yet, King Jehoshaphat's response teaches
us a powerful lesson. When faced with an overwhelming enemy, he "turned his attention to seek the Lord." Today, reflect on where your attention is focused. Are you fixated on your problems, or are you turning to God? Remember, your attention is a currency - invest it wisely. Take time to intentionally shift your focus from your challenges to the God who is bigger than any obstacle. As you do, notice how your perspective changes and your faith grows.

 

2 Chronicles 20:5-13
20 Now it came about after this, that the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon, together with some of the  [a] Meunites, came to make war against Jehoshaphat.  2 Then some came and reported to Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea, from  [b] Aram; and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar (that is Engedi).”  3  Jehoshaphat was afraid and  [c] turned his attention to seek the Lord; and he proclaimed a period of fasting throughout Judah.  4  So Judah gathered together to seek help from the Lord; they even came from all the cities of Judah to seek the Lord.

 

Jehoshaphat didn't face his crisis alone - he called the entire nation to pray. There's immense power in coming together before God. As you read Jehoshaphat's prayer, notice how he recalls God's faithfulness in the past and His promises for the future. Today, consider reaching out to a fellow believer to pray together. Share your burdens, remind each other of God's faithfulness, and stand united in seeking His guidance. Remember, when we gather in prayer, we create a powerful spiritual synergy that can move mountains.

​

DAY 8 – SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8

Listening for God's Voice

2 Chronicles 20:14-19

14 Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly. 15 And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. 16 Tomorrow go down against them. They will surely come up by the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the brook before the Wilderness of Jeruel. 17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.” 18 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem bowed before the Lord, worshiping the Lord. 19 Then the Levites of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with voices loud and high.

Messages: "Triple the Prayer & Triple the Praise"

 

Devotional:
After pouring out their hearts to God, the people of Judah received a prophetic word. God often speaks through His chosen vessels, bringing comfort, direction, and hope. Today, spend time in silence, listening for God's voice. It might come through Scripture, a trusted spiritual mentor, or a gentle nudge in your spirit. Pay attention to the recurring themes or thoughts that align with God's character and Word. Remember, God is still speaking today - are we tuned in to hear Him?

​

DAY 9 – MONDAY, DECEMBER 9

Divine Provision in Times of Need

 

Nehemiah 2:1-8
2 And it came about in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, that wine was before him, and I picked up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence.  2  So the king said to me, “Why is your face sad, though you are not ill? This is nothing but sadness of heart.” Then I was very much afraid.  3  And I said to the king, “May the king live forever. Why should my face not be sad when the city, the  [a] site of my fathers’ tombs, is desolate and its gates have been consumed by fire?” 4  Then the king said to me, “ [b] What would you request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven.  5  Then I
said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor before you, I request that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.”  6  Then the king said to me, with the queen sitting beside him, “How long will your journey be, and when will you return?” So it pleased the king to send me, and I gave him a definite time.  7  And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given me for the governors of the provinces beyond the River, so that they will allow me to pass through until I come to Judah,  8  and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, so that he will
give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel which is by the  [c] temple, for the wall of the city, and for the house to which I will go.” And the king granted them to me because the good hand of my God was on 

​

Messages: "Triple the Provision & Triple the Precaution"

​

Devotional:
Nehemiah's story reminds us that God is our ultimate provider, even in the most challenging
circumstances. When Nehemiah approached the king with his request, he first prayed to "the God of heaven" (v. 4). This teaches us the importance of seeking God's guidance before taking action. As you face your own challenges today, remember that God can turn the hearts of those in authority (Proverbs 21:1) and provide resources beyond our imagination. Reflect on areas in your life where you need God's provision. How can you approach these needs with prayer and faith, trusting in God's goodness and timing?
