Thanksgiving for Sunday Services and Sermon-Based Prayer
Thanksgiving for Sunday Services
“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)
1. Thank God for the great anointing and presence of God in all services on Sunday and the ministration of our Pastors and all units involved (All Nations Worship, Media, protocol etc) during the services. Thank God for the souls that came to the Lord and the healing and restoration of souls during and after the service arising from the preaching of the Word of God.
2. Thank God that All Nations Worship Team will live by the name, covered by Christ’s blood, immersed in His anointing and filled with God’s presence as they each time lead the church in praise and Worship.
3. Thank God for the successful Urban Missions Pre-conference activities (Hospital Visitation and College Outreaches) conducted last Saturday. Thank God for the salvation, healing and deliverance of souls. Thank God that He will protect and complete every work started in each one of them. Thank God that His Holy Spirit will keep inspiring and convicting hearts till they come to the knowledge of Christ and God the Father.
