PRAYERS FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD (SPIRITUAL GROWTH)
Romans 8:19 – “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.”
1. Pray that we will no longer remain as spiritual children but will grow and mature to take our rightful place as sons of God (Galatians 4:1-2). Ask that we will subject ourselves to discipline, training and divine tutelage so that we can handle the responsibilities of sonship. Pray that we will not be passive in our walk with God but will actively seek to grow in wisdom, knowledge and spiritual understanding. Declare that we will walk in the fullness of our inheritance in Christ, not living as slaves to sin and ignorance but as sons with divine authority.
2. Pray that we will rise and take our positions as sons in the earth, manifesting God’s power and glory to a lost world (Romans 8:19-23). Ask the Lord to make us beacons of light to our generation, carrying the hope, life and redemption that creation longs for. Pray that we will not live beneath our calling but will walk in our divine mandate as ambassadors of God’s kingdom. Ask that we will operate in boldness, love, and righteousness, bringing transformation to our families, communities and nations.
3. Pray that we will develop a deep hunger for God’s Word, desiring it more than anything else (Job 23:12). Ask the Holy Spirit to give us insight and revelation that will establish us in truth (Ephesians 1:17-18). Pray against spiritual ignorance and deception, declaring that we will walk in divine wisdom and understanding. Ask that as we grow in the Word, we will become firmly rooted in Christ, bearing fruits that glorify God (Colossians 2:6-7).
4. Pray that we will walk in the full authority and dominion that God has given us, refusing to live in fear or powerlessness (Luke 10:19). Ask the Lord to awaken us to our identity in Christ, that we may resist every force of evil, oppression, and wickedness in our land. Declare that we will be spiritual gatekeepers, enforcing God’s will on earth and pushing back the works of darkness. Pray that we will exercise our authority in prayer, intercession, and righteous living, establishing God’s kingdom in our homes, churches and society.
5. Ask the Lord to cleanse us and set us apart as vessels of honour, fit for His use (2 Timothy 2:21). Pray against compromise, worldliness and every distraction that weakens our spiritual growth. Ask for grace to live in holiness and purity, walking in obedience to God’s commands (1 Peter 1:15-16). Pray that our lives will reflect the character of Christ, being living testimonies of His power and presence on earth.
6. Pray for a fresh outpouring of the Spirit upon us, that we may walk in greater power and effectiveness (Acts 1:8). Ask the Lord to stir up spiritual gifts within us, activating us for ministry and kingdom impact. Pray that we will not remain stagnant but will press into deeper realms of the Spirit, doing the works of Christ and even greater (John 14:12). Ask that our lives will be marked by supernatural exploits, bringing glory to God in all we do.
