This is the August 2024 Prayer Newsletter. August is declared as our month of Overwhelming Victory. We have prepared the prayer points specifically for this month. We encourage you to rise by midnight to make some declarations over August. We look forward to hearing your testimonies of overwhelming victory, in the name of Jesus Christ. (August Prayer Newsletter)
[2 Corinthians 2:14 CEV] “I am grateful that God always makes it possible for Christ to lead us to victory. God also helps us spread the knowledge about Christ everywhere, and this knowledge is like the smell of perfume”
God causes us to triumph always. Our victory is guaranteed always, the size of the battle, or the strength of the enemy notwithstanding. We are redeemed as victors not as victims, as winners not as losers, as conquerors not as conquered. Defeat was never on God’s mind for His children, and no battle or circumstance of life can change that reality.
Everyday victory is our reality in Christ, we are champions through Christ’s victory over Satan. However, we need to understand that, though the devil was defeated, he has not ceased seeking for an occasion against the righteous, challenging their victory. Thus, we are commanded to resist him steadfastly in faith.
[1Pe 5:8-9 NKJV] 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
We can resist the devil effectively, not by our strength, strategy, or skill, but in total submission to Christ, the original Victor who led us to victory. The Bible says, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7).
Our submission to God’s authority forces the devil to flee from us, when we resist him. One of the areas of submission that guarantees overwhelming victory is following Christ’s leading. He is ready to lead, once we are ready to follow, and He will always lead us to victory.
