1 Sam 30:6 "And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved...but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God."
Testimony is not for the one who is always discouraged at a slightest situation. Discouragement is of the devil and it's aim is to rob you of testimony. David did not allow the situation to discourage him, he rather encouraged himself in the Lord.
Beloved, when no one is there to encourage you, you still have to encourage yourself in the Lord. You must guard against discouragement because when you allow it, it will tempt you to speak I'll of God.
Discouragement will never let you see what God has done but what He's yet to do. If you don't see what He has done, you will not be thankful and if you are not thankful to God for the last blessing, He will not give you the next one. So, encourage yourself in the Lord for you to experience your testimony this month.
Prayer and fasting on the other hand is a platform for accessing the grace of God. We saw this grace at work in the life of Jesus Christ. When He returned from the 40 day-prayer and fasting. His level of command changed. The Bible in Luke 4:14 says: "And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about." It is your turn!
PRAYER: The grace to overcome discouragement is released now in Jesus name.
DAY 6 PRAYER GUIDELINES:
1: Father, let every curse working against my destiny be broken now in Jesus name (Num 23:23).
2: Father, in the name of Jesus, let every arrow of discouragement shut at me to still my joy, go back to sender now.
3: Present any other request to God now.
