Over the years the month of July has served as a Spiritual Emphasis Month for ICGC Churches all.
over the world. It's been a time of consecration, prayer and fasting. It has always been one of the high points of our year, climaxing with our annual Greater Works conference
Sometime last year, I had a strong leading to call God's people in Ghana and all over the world to join in this spiritual encounter. I also felt led to extend the period of fasting and prayer from thirty to forty days. Starting this year, I am honoured to invite you to join me as we stretch our faith and embark on a new experience we call 40 DAYS OF POWER.
From the 21st June to 30th July, 2018 I urge you to spend time fasting every day as we pray for our nation Ghana, the church, our families and for progress in all areas of our individual lives.
This Prayer Guide is carefully prepared to allow us to pray together along the same direction as we join our hearts from various parts of the world in this spiritual experience. Every day has a prayer theme and a guiding scripture. Starting from 5am, a prayer topic is provided for each hour. Different parts of the day focus on different aspects of our lives. Each day ends with a bed time declaration to consolidate the blessings of the day and prepare for the day ahead.
Some helpful tips on effective fasting are included to guide you in observing a healthy and impactful fast.
It is my prayer that this guide will help you to derive the maximum benefit from this period of fasting. I hope that it will help you to build the vital discipline of daily prayer and devotion even beyond the forty-day period.
May God hear and answer your prayers speedily as we embark on this solemn journey of consecration together.
