PRAYER ASSIGNMENT TO CONQUER

PRAYER ASSIGNMENT TO CONQUER

 
When it is good for you

Won’t we have a share of it?

Who ever disturbed you

Should know that we are affected too

In the name of him

Whom I worship

I rebuke laziness

Stubbornness and ill luck

I rebuke the restless spirit

 

It is the man that goes hunting

The woman keeps the home

What went wrong in the bush

When a man fails to benefit

From the fruit of his labour

Why should the home be forgotten?

I rebuke the unsteady mind

I shatter the impediment

Set on your ways

 

With these keys I unlock the doors

Closed against your progress

I unlock the doors in front of you.

Walk through and possess your wealth

Come back with healthy returns

Then go and be useful to your people

On your sides I unlock your freedom,

Your right to existence

And your mission to fulfill

 

I remove the bolts, knots and padlocks

Placed on your doors

Against what you have built  to preserve

I break this mirror used in seeing you

Where ever you go and in what ever you do

I break this mirror

Used in watching your actions

To harm you before you know of it

 

In His name

I release the powers to overcome

Attacks and battles

I, the son of my father

Born for this mission

On a day the sun and the rain

Compete to rule the hour

And the lioness give birth

Under the African oil bean tree

I throw away the keys,

Broken mirrors

Into gutter

Into a heap of refuse

And into the sea

Let ill luck, headache

And stomach pains be gone

 

Let hot temper go

At this moment

Of redemption

From damnation

Let all be gone

Let everything come out of it

As the strainer with water

Let evil go

 

In tongues, I must speak

To confuse the devil, the more

With heavenly language of grace

Yah-a-jah

Etete,

Ibit Itam

Inokon

Itina, Iman

Akwa Abasi Ibom

Shara-ba mama

Yeri lbaba kan-du

In the name of him whom I worship

Let peace be granted.

Amen.

Do you mean it...

I opened my eyes and take a looked I see a back, difficult to tell Who it really belongs to I know a sister when I see one Kindred spirit, talk of friends And you will rank among the files I stretched my hand to feel your pulse Across the Atlantic and the Pacific But you hid your face from me I beg of you my dear buddy Show me your face, don't look away As you hang my prayers on your wall Best wishes T.
