Prayer for Seed Sowing

Prayer Points for seed: prayer for seed sowing

Welcome to another month of corporate prayer. There is uncommon power when the saints join in agreement. We have seen and continue to see God move in mighty ways across the world. Do not take these prayer time lightly, by any means. We have a natural tendency to become complacent or too comfortable over time.

I encourage you to make a conscious effort to actively pursue the Lord in spirit and in truth, and more than anything to be prayerful in your prayers. To never let these prayers become mere rituals. God forbid that this sacred and special time become anything other than heaven on earth. Reach into heaven’s bosom and pour your everything into it.

If you haven’t partnered us in prayer before, I would like to welcome you! Our family grows every month, more and more people across the world and partnering in what God is doing here. We are honoured to be a part of it all.

Our prayer points are set in threes, with a vision of having someone praying through every hour of the day. There are three prayer points for each hour. Pick an hour, or just a part of the hour to pray with us.

Father, we thank you for these prayer points for seed. We thank you for every individual that will labour in prayer. We honour you, for you are a God of the result! A God who will never fail us. May these prayer points for seed yield great harvests in Jesus’ name. Amen

30+ Wonderful Points to Pray for Zimbabwe

30+ Wonderful Points to Pray for Zimbabwe

How to Pray for Zimbabwe

To pray without context is to pray in vain. What are you praying for. As we pray for Zimbabwe it is important that we know some things about the country. The first half of this post will be about that. After that, we will move on to prayer points for Zimbabwe. If you already know about the nation, feel free to skip to the prayer section.

pray for Zimbabwe

Geographical detail:

Zimbabwe is a landlocked country located in southern Africa. It shares borders with South Africa on the southern side, Botswana on the western, Zambia on the northern and Mozambique on the Eastern side. The capital city of Zimbabwe is Harare.

The country has an estimated population of 16.3 million, source. English, Shona and Ndebele are the most widely spoken and recognised languages in Zimbabwe.

Dating as far back as the 11th Century, historians and archaeologists have found that Zimbabwe was a major trade route. The main kingdom involved in said trade was the Great Zimbabwe of modern-day Masvingo.

Zimbabwe was under colonial rule from the late 19th century and most of the 20th Century. The removal of the white minority government came at the end of a bitter civil war, known and second Chimurenga.

The state endured international isolation and a 15-year guerrilla war with black nationalist forces; which culminated in a peace agreement that established universal enfranchisement and independent sovereignty as Zimbabwe in April 1980.

Population: 16.3+ Million

Map:

Leadership

President: Emmerson D Mnangagwa

pray for Zimbabwe's leadership

Vice Presidents: Constantino Chiwenga, Kembo Mohadi

Political brief: General Politics

Zimbabwe is a republic with a presidential system of government. A semi-presidential system was abolished with the adoption of a new constitution after a referendum in March 2013.

On 19 November 2017 in the wake of protests, ZANU-PF sacked Robert Mugabe as party leader and appointed former Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa in his place.

This was a military-backed move, which was carried out while Mugabe was on what he later referred to as “house arrest.” The entire move has often been called a coup, but not really a coup. Perhaps pseudo-coup is a fitting term.

From his home, on the 21st of November 2017, Mugabe tendered his resignation prior to impeachment proceedings being completed

The ruling ZANU PF, led by Emmerson Mnangagwa, narrowly won the elections in July 2018. The jury is out on whether this is the end of an era or continuing it under a different leader.

Economy brief:

Mining and agriculture still provide the largest chunk of Zimbabwe’s GDP. There are several reasons that one can attribute to this. One could say that this is a sign of a lack of progression over the year. Another reason could simply be the lack of investment during the period that they have been under sanctions. Mining and agriculture are industries that are usually sanction proof. 

Rampant mismanagement of funds and corruption within most industries has contributed to the death of a lot of companies. Investors have become wary of putting money into the nation as well. Add economic sanctions to all of this, and we have an incredibly difficult nation to govern and to reside in.

The main farm produce remains tobacco, corn, cotton, wheat, coffee, tea, sugarcane, peanuts and soya beans. This is mainly due to the ability to sell most of these locally, as well as an export opportunity.

Livestock farmers raise a wide variety of animals that usually include cattle, goats, sheep, chickens and pigs. There is a wide consumption of milk and meat across the nation, so there is a lot of custom for livestock and related products locally.

The main industries are mining, farming and manufacturing. The mining sector produces coal, gold, platinum, copper, nickel, tin, diamonds, clay, numerous metallic and nonmetallic ores. The manufacturing sector produces steel, wood products, cement, chemicals, fertiliser, clothing and footwear, food and beverages.

There are reports of gas and petroleum reserves yet to be explored.

South Africa is currently Zimbabwe’s largest trading partner by a mile. They are the main exporter and importer from Zimbabwe.

What to pray for regarding Zimbabwe?

Prayer Points for Zimbabwe

Leadership : 1 Timothy 2:1-3

Everything filters down from the leadership. The departure of Mugabe leaves an opportunity for a new start and improvement of leadership.

  • Speak a covering over Emmerson Mnangagwa, Constantino Chiwenga, Kembo Mohadi other government officials.
  • We pray for their health and well being
  • We pray that the Lord grant them wisdom and a heart for the people of Zimbabwe
  • May their families be preserved.
  • We pray for unselfish vision in leaders.
  • Pray for dialogue and consensus for a common purpose among the political leaders.
  • Pray for renewal of minds in leadership. 
  • Lord give them wisdom for such a time as this. New wisdom, to build a new nation.
  • Raise around them Nehemiahs of this day; rebuilders of what has long been broken.

Economic growth

Zimbabwean a desperate for a better economy. They are desperate for opportunities for themselves and for their children in their own country. Our prayer is that the Lord would raise dying and dead industries in the country. May the Lord raise innovators and a generation of captains of industry with fresh ideas. More than anything a leadership that fosters an environment in which all these things are possible.

  • Lord, we pray for economic growth.
  • Pray for a lifting of economic sanctions against Zimbabwe by the USA.
  • We pray for innovation and wisdom in the mining sector.
  • We pray for an increase in Foreign Direct Investment.
  • We pray for wisdom and innovation to solve Zimbabwe’s financial crisis.
  • We pray for the establishment of new industries.
  • We pray against the spirit of poverty.
  • We pray for lucrative partnerships with other nations.
  • We pray for rain and wisdom for the agricultural sector.
  • We pray for success in the plans to revive old industries and factories. 

Health

Beyond health issues that plague the nation as a result of poor economic structures and infrastructure, better things need to be built. There is absolutely no reason why people should be dying of cholera in this century. As humanity, we owe it to ourselves to be better.

  • Speak against the spread of cholera and other related waterborne diseases.
  • Pray for the preservation of lives against disease outbreaks and medical drugs shortages.
  • Speak against industrial strikes in the health sector. 
  • Pray for an improvement in health service delivery. 

Peace

Zimbabweans have always been known to be a pacifist and peaceful people. Our prayer is that that trait is not eaten away by the consistent nag that is poverty and corruption. Father may peace prevail over this land. 

  • Father, we thank you for peace across Zimbabwe.
  • We speak against political violence and uprisings.
  • May your word find its way into more and more homes and transform the nation.
  • We pray that the government handle protests with grace.

The Church

The church used to be a respected vehicle of change in the nation. Today more and more people are turning away from it due to the blatant disregard of Christlikeness that has hit it. More and more churches are springing up and taking advantage of people desperate for a saviour.

  • Lord bring authenticity back to your church.
  • Expose and uproot all wolves that have gotten among your flock.
  • Raise men women after your heart.
  • Raise the church as a vehicle of hope and of change in the nation.

Production

Proverbs 12:27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

The verse above is unfortunately accurate description of most African countries, including Zimbabwe. They diligent in hunting but never roast what they have hunted. This is the reason why our industries export raw material to be processed elsewhere and sold back to Zimbabwe at higher rates. Minerals are not being “roasted”, but are bought back as jewellery at premium rates.

  • Father make Zimbabwe a nation of producers and not mere consumers.
  • Give them the wisdom to build wealth for generations to come.
  • Give them the foresight to build not only for themselves but for their children, a better nation.

General

There are a lot of other points that we have failed to find a home for under any of the other headings. Whatever else you think we may have missed out while praying for Zimbabwe, add it to this general section.

  • We pray for church leaders that their lives be preserved and good health.
  • Pray for the will of God to prevail in Zimbabwe. 
  • Pray for unity in the Church.
  • Pray for the awareness and growth of an entrepreneurial culture among the youth.
  • Speak against hoarding and shortages of basic commodities. 
  • Pray that sanity and wisdom prevail in the marketplace. 
  • Pray for economic reforms.

Thank you for partnering with us in prayer. Our goal is to create one of these for every country in the world. We want to be enablers of prayer warriors. This is part of our prayer for nations goal. If you would like to volunteer to create prayer points or be a part of our team of intercessors, please get in touch.

Prayer for Grandchildren

Prayer for Grandchildren

Share this with someone

Why We Say Prayer for Grandchildren

One of the amazing blessings that we get to enjoy your well-deserved while on earth is that of being able to care for grandchildren. For most of us, just the opportunity to see them is all that we could ask for. However, as we would’ve known from raising our own children there is only so much that we can do. The rest, well, lays in the capable hands of the Most High God. It’s such a comforting feeling to know that when we fall short, there somebody else overseeing this process and intervening on our behalf.

As amazing as we may think we are or are indeed, we may actually be we are imperfect. There are so many things that we would like to do and say that may not manifest in the ways that we would have intended. Unfortunately, these are the sort things affect children in their developmental phase in ways that we could not recognise in time or remedy.

Fortunately, we always have God to turn to. Praying for your grandchildren is one of the greatest gifts that could ever give them. This goes beyond being able to teach them to pray and also goes to a place where you are able to ask for divine intervention in places where you were not able to intervene all I’m not presents to intervene.

Throughout scripture, you’d find generation after generation the children would always have the blessing of the parents or grandparents. There is untold power in the words of a spoken over your children and grandchildren.

Genesis 48

Jacob Blesses Joseph’s Sons

48 Now it came to pass after these things that Joseph was told, “Indeed your father is sick”; and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 2 And Jacob was told, “Look, your son Joseph is coming to you”; and Israel [a]strengthened himself and sat up on the bed. 3 Then Jacob said to Joseph: “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me, 4 and said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people, and give this land to your descendants after you as an everlasting possession.’ 

If you’re not speaking over you when children I can most certainly guarantee you that somebody else is speaking into the lives. Even the smallest of ways are things at the watch the fees of a listen to somebody else is telling them what they are is tender who they can be and turn them what they can and cannot do. It is up to you to impart knowledge that they can do all things through Christ and strength.

Wisdom and stature

The first thing I’m going to pray over is that as Christ grow in wisdom and stature our grandchildren will be like him in that sense. I will pray that as they grow God’s wisdom is in them and everything that they do that all the decisions are in line with his will.

Luke 2:52 New International Version (NIV)

52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

Father, I thank you for my grandchild/ren in Jesus name. As they grow I as that you would be a light unto their path. Lord, even at times when they may not realise that they need you. Where they go astray, I ask that you would guide them back onto the path of righteousness.

Let your will prayer

Order every footstep that they will take. Lord, may my grandchildren always be about your business. Let your will manifest in every area of their lives. That they would desire you. I pray that you would grant them wisdom in every possible way. May they desire wisdom, seek wisdom and find wisdom. In Jesus’ name! Amen

Psalm 119:133 New International Version (NIV)

133 Direct my footsteps according to your word;
    let no sin rule over me.

Parenting

Parents, guardians and we as grandparents play significant roles in the raising of our children. A lot of who they become is down to who we are. The bible teaches us to train a child in a way that he/she is to walk. If we are unable to train them, best believe someone out there will do the training for us. In most cases, the path that they are led onto will not be the one that we want for our grandchildren. Our next prayer point is for the people that are in these important roles.

Proverbs 22:6 New International Version (NIV)

6 Start children off on the way they should go,
    and even when they are old they will not turn from it.

train a child prayer

Lord Jesus, we thank you for the parents and guardians that will be in these children’s lives. We ask that your wisdom would guide them in the way that they should train the child. Let it not be done through their own wisdom but through yours. Lord, we acknowledge that your ways are higher than ours. Even in our grandest of wisdom and love, we may fall short. We put it all into your hands. Open our eyes to the things that we should say. Teach us to use our words to build and not to break these children. The latter is easier done. We ask this in Jesus’ name! Amen

Health

Even where the rest of the things go well, health is of utmost importance. Bad health will cut short lives that have greatness ahead of them. God forbid that your grandchild would not achieve that which the Lord has set them out to achieve. The bible tells us that the Lord knew our grandchildren before they were formed. They are his seeds on this planet. Our prayer is that they would be healthy and fruitful ones.

Jeremiah 1:5 New International Version (NIV)

5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew[a] you,
    before you were born I set you apart;
    I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

Dear Heavenly Father,

We ask that you grant our grandchildren the gift of good health. We pray that every part of their body would function as it was intended to. Lord, we speak against any diseases in body, mind or spirit. Lord, we minister healing in Jesus’ name! May your mighty hand come upon them in all that they do. From the top of their heads to the soles of their feet, divine health is their portion in Jesus’ name! Amen

Friends

We understand from scripture that Lot was preserved because of this relationship with Abraham. The disciples would never have turned the worlds upside down if not for their relationship with Christ. In fact, those that saw them after Jesus had died, knew they had been with him.

I believe the boldness of Shadrek, Mishaek and Abednego was founded in their shared faith. It is in walking together that their names were written in history eternally. By the same token, we also know that countless men and women fall daily due to the company that they keep. Our prayer today is that our children would be surrounded by the sort company that propels them towards God’s best for their life.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank you for the lives of our grandchildren. We ask that you would guide them at every turn in Jesus’ name. Lord, let no one that is not going to lead them to you is rooted in their lives. If there is anyone right now that will draw them away from your will we as that that relationship come to an end in Jesus’ name. Lord, we pray that you would surround them with men and women after your heart. Raise mentors to guide them in their walk. In Jesus’ name! Amen

Live a Full life

At the end of his life, the Apostle Paul famously said that he had lived and poured everything that he had out of him. Not that anyone would ever doubt that. This is a man who met Christ on his route to Damascus and ended up turning the world upside down. Having said that, most people never get to this point.

Everything that has been put inside of us by God needs to come out and impact the world. The Bible tells us that all of creation is groaning and waiting for the sons of God to manifest them among us. For how long so the wait? That is down to us. Our prayer for today is that whatever has been placed inside our grandchildren come forth and be poured out to impact those around them in Jesus name.

Father God, We thank you for grandchildren. We thank you for everything that you set them out to do on this earth. God, for that we thank you because we know that their time on this planet will not be in vain. We thank you because we know that you alone know the plans that you have for them, Lord, plans for the good, no harm is to come to them. They will bear every seed that you’ve put inside of them. Father, we call it fourth look at in Jesus name.

Every gift, every talent that you put inside of them, Lord God, we call it forth. That they would be the wise stewards that use their gifts to expand your kingdom. May their gifts be a light that will show others to you. Whatever has remained buried inside of them for too long, let it come forth.

Let those that have sought to bury these gifts be put to shame. They buried them but didn’t realise that they were seeds. We call them up to sprout into their calling. We pray that they may impact those around them. In the name of Jesus. We call our grandchildren into fulfilment, into your wholeness, right now.

In the mighty name of Jesus. In every of their life, may that they would be fruitful. Lord, there will be a fruitful in everything that they set out to do, in Jesus name. We ask that when their life comes to a natural end they would’ve lived for and died empty Lord God in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
