Opening Prayer
Prayer 1
Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for the opportunity you have given me and my family to see the month of April 2023. Father, I thank you for supplying our needs, for fighting our battles, and for your continuous presence in our lives.
“It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:“
Psalms 92:1
Prayer 2
Father, let your love take root in my heart, give me the grace to love my neighbor, take away every bitterness, anger and malice from my heart in the name of Jesus.
“Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”
Romans1:30-32
Prayer 3
Father, in the name of Jesus, lay your hands upon my children. Every power that has vowed to make my children my enemy, you shall not succeed, be destroyed by fire in the name of Jesus. My children must obey and serve the Lord in the name of Jesus.
“Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.“

TEACHING SERIES
FOCUS: LOVE
Our prophetic focus for the month of April 2023 is Love.
We are told in 1 John Chapter 4 verse 8 that “…God is love.“
If you are born again and you believe in your heart that God is your father, you will walk in love.
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.“
1 John 4: 7-8
God created man in His image and gave Him the capacity to be like Him, God gave man the ability to love through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In 1 Corinthians Chapter 2 verse 16, the Bible says: “…But we have the mind of Christ.“
That means resentment, anger, malice, backbiting, and evil speaking will be far from us because we have the life of God in us because we think like God.
“No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.”
1 John 4:12
When we love our neighbor, we are showing the world the love of God, the love of God is being manifested through us His children.
Our act of love is the only manifestation of God that our neighbors see, that is the only way the people of the world can experience the love of God.
“If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?” 1 John 3:20
Walking in love connotes obedience to the Word of God, and trusting the Lord in everything. Forgiving your neighbor, propagating the Word of God, serving God in your local church, helping people especially those who are Christians.
Galatians 6:10
