May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. ~ Romans 15:13

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. ~ 2 Corinthians 13

Ask the Lord to give strength to the breadwinners breakthroughs of our homes.

Ask the Lord to relieve us of financial debt, by enabling us to pay back what we owe.

“The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;
22 those the Lord blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be destroyed.
23 The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.”

Ask the Lord to allow you to give more to those who are less fortunate.
Acts 20:35 (NKJV) – “I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
 
Ask the Lord to change the attitude of your heart, to be more content in what you already have.
Philippians 4:11-13 (NIV) – “Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”

Prayer Points for February 2021

February is the second month and the number two among the twelve months of the year. The number two is a number of division or double witness. The number two in the Hebrew language is represented with a tent, a house, which suggests a household or family, on the basis of this fact we will dedicate the month of February unto the Lord for double evidence of His power and presence in our family, and stand against division in any form, shape, or size; securing our homes and household from every form of division and confusion in Jesus name.

1. Let us give thanks to the Lord for His goodness and for His mercy towards us and our homes in February 2021.
