KT PRAYER DIARY SUMMER 2017
Now Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat
and drink; for there is the sound of the
roar of a heavy shower.” So Ahab went
up to eat and drink. But Elijah went up
to the top of Carmel; and he crouched
down on the earth and put his face
between his knees.
1 Kings 18:41-42
Our 20:20 Vision lays out what we want to
be and also what goals we want to achieve by
the end of the year 2020. The 20:20 vision is
summed up in three words MATURE, MULTIPLY,
MOBILISE.
Through our cell ministry we are sowing kingdom seed into the life and culture
of our great capital city of London. If we don’t sow the seeds of the gospel we will
never have a harvest of souls and righteousness. Yet something else is also need-
ed for seeds to bear fruit - an abundance of rain!
There was plenty of seed in the ground during Elijah’s day but a drought meant
that there hadn’t been a harvest for years. Elijah prophetically heard the coming
roar of supernatural rain which would rapidly change the whole environment of
the nation. Elijah told Ahab to strengthen himself in preparation for the outpouring,
and then he began to pray. We also need to strengthen ourselves in preparation by
daily feeding on the word of God and regularly drinking the living water of the Holy
Spirit.
Also more than ever before, like Elijah, we need to both to hear the roar of a
heavy shower of the Spirit and intercede for it to come to pass. It may have been
that if Elijah had not prayed the rain would have been delayed indefinitely. Let us
not weaken in prayer holding back the promise of the Father for our city but press
on until He comes.
This prayer diary is an important prayer tool to release the power of God in a
concentrated and targeted manner.
