In Scripture, God’s “remnant” are those preserved by grace who stay faithful when many drift (Isa 10:20–22; Rom 11:5). For God's Remnant, prayer isn’t optional devotion—it’s the lifeline that keeps them aligned to God’s will, supplied by His power, and steadfast under pressure.

• Anchors identity and loyalty. Prayer keeps the heart set apart in a culture of compromise. “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8). The Remnant's identity and awareness are anchored in Christ Jesus, who connects us to the Heavenly Father, our God.
   
• Secures guidance for hard assignments. God directs those who ask: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God” (James 1:5). We gain insight, light or revelation as a result of our covenant prayer life with Almighty God. This guidance, blueprint, wisdom (application) of such guidance is what causes the Remnant to experience His victory.
   
• Releases protection and deliverance. “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you” (Psalm 50:15). Just like Israel and Judah in their time of distress, God always saves His chosen from all hurt, harm, or danger regardless of who the culprit to demonstrate His ultimate power and authority as being the Great Deliverer and Judge.
   
• Builds perseverance. The remnant endures by praying “without ceasing” (1 Thes 5:17) and not losing heart (Lk 18:1). We must pray at all times. Length of times, intensities, and prayer targets may change, but we always have a reason and purpose to pray. We must build up our prayer life, in our natural language and in our spiritual language.  Start today, use the word of God and pray it back to God...for  His word will not return to Him void but shall accomplish to which He sent it.  Know your prayers are NEVER in vain. Miracles happen because of a strong prayer life. (Ex. 2 Chronicles 7:1  When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the [Shekinah] glory and brilliance of the LORD filled the house. )
   

• Daniel — Prayed with discipline despite hostile laws; his prayers to God made him a recipient of an open heaven that brought divine insight that won the respect of the king, closed the mouths of Lion executioners, and an angelic messenger with God's response concerning God's people (Dan 6:10; 9:20–23; 10:12–13).
   
• Hannah — Poured out her soul, received a miracle son, and consecrated him back to the Lord (1 Sam 1:10–20). This son, Samuel, God chose to be one of the most respected and revered Prophets, and was the last Judge of Israel.
   
• Nehemiah — Shot “arrow prayers” in moments (Neh 2:4) and sustained night-and-day intercession that birthed a national rebuild (Neh 1:4–11).
   
• Elijah — Prayed and the heavens shut, then prayed again and rain returned; his secret was earnest, covenant-rooted prayer (1 Kgs 17–18; Jas 5:17–18).
   
• Hezekiah — Turned his face to the wall and gained added years and national deliverance (2 Kgs 19:14–19; 20:1–6).
   
• Esther & Mordecai — Called a corporate fast, and God reversed a genocidal decree (Esth 4:16; 7:3–6).
   
• David — Modeled honest, worshipful prayer that turns fear into faith (Ps 27: “One thing have I asked…” v.4).
   
• Jesus — Our perfect model: withdrew often to pray (Mk 1:35), prayed before major decisions (Lk 6:12–13), taught persistence (Lk 11:5–13).
   
• The Early Church — Prayed and the Spirit fell (Acts 1:14; 2:1–4); prayed and prison doors opened (Acts 12:5–11).
   

1. Covenant root: Pray from God’s promises, not mere feelings (Dan 9:2–3; 2 Cor 1:20).
    
2. Holiness & repentance: “If I had cherished iniquity… the Lord would not have listened” (Ps 66:18).
    
3. Persistence: “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thes 5:17); keep knocking (Lk 11:9–10).
    
4. Corporate agreement: “Where two or three are gathered… there am I” (Mt 18:19–20).
    
5. Mission focus: Pray kingdom-first: “Your kingdom come, Your will be done” (Mt 6:10).
    

• Daily: Set watch-times (morning/noon/evening like Daniel—Dan 6:10). Read God's promise and pray it back to Him. Keep short “arrow prayers” through the day (Neh 2:4).
   
• Weekly: Fast a meal or a day (Mt 6:16–18). Intercede for family, church, leaders (1 Tim 2:1–2).
   
• Monthly: Examine your heart, confess, and realign goals with God’s will (Ps 139:23–24).
   
• Crisis moments: Call trusted believers to agree in prayer (Acts 12:5). Combine prayer with practical obedience (Neh 4:9).
   

• “Lord, teach me to pray” (Lk 11:1).
   
• “Strengthen my hands for the work” (Neh 6:9).
   
• “Let Your kingdom come in my home, church, and city” (Mt 6:10).
   
• “Revive Your work in our day” (Hab 3:2).
   

The remnant survives and builds—not by numbers, platforms, or human strength—but by seeking God until His power rests on them. “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord” (Zech 4:6).

Here's the greatest lesson I learned from God regarding prayer, and should be your request/declaration:

"Heavenly Father, direct the Holy Spirit to lead me in my prayer life, so that I always pray on one accord with Jesus Christ, our Chief intercessor. I want us to bombard Your throne of grace as one, so we always pray what is on Your heart and what pleases You to be petitioned for. Thank You always, in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

For God’s remnant, thanksgiving isn’t polite spirituality—it’s covenant posture. Gratitude re-centers our hearts on who God is, remembers what He’s done, and opens us to what He will do.

Thanksgiving is the way of ushering the presence of God. He has done so much for us that requires Thanksgiving due to Him.  

• Magnifies God above circumstances. “Oh, magnify the Lord with me” (Ps 34:3); “Enter His gates with thanksgiving” (Ps 100:4).
   
• Guards the heart with peace. Prayer with thanksgiving brings God’s peace (Phil 4:6–7).
   
• Keeps faith rooted and growing. Remnant life is “abounding in thanksgiving” (Col 2:6–7).
   
• Becomes a continual sacrifice. We offer “the sacrifice of praise…the fruit of lips that acknowledge His name” (Heb 13:15; Ps 50:14, 23).
   
• Aligns with God’s will. “In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thes 5:18).
   

• David & the Levites — Appointed singers to give thanks day and night (1 Chr 16:4–12, 34; Ps 136).
   
• Jesus — Gave thanks before multiplication (Jn 6:11) and before Lazarus’ resurrection (Jn 11:41).
   
• The One Leper — Returned to give thanks and received more than healing—wholeness (Lk 17:11–19).
   
• Jonah — In the depths, vowed a “sacrifice of thanksgiving,” and God delivered him (Jon 2:9–10).
   
• Paul & Silas — Sang hymns at midnight in prison; God shook the foundations (Acts 16:25–26).
   
• Jehoshaphat’s Army — Led with thanks and praise; God set ambushes against their enemies (2 Chr 20:21–22).
   

1. Covenant memory: Rehearse God’s works (Ps 103:2; 105:5).
    
2. All-weather gratitude: In everything (not for everything), we give thanks (1 Thes 5:18).
    
3. Prophetic expectation: Thanksgiving before the miracle (Jn 6:11; 11:41).
    
4. Corporate voice: Thanksgiving strengthens the camp (Ps 34:3; Eph 5:19–20).
    
5. Holy living: Clean hands keep the song clear (Ps 24:3–4; Heb 13:15–16).
    

• Daily: Begin and end your prayers with thanksgiving to God. Note God's mercies each day (Lam 3:22–23).
   
• Weekly: Share a testimony publicly (Ps 107:1–2).
   
• In pressure: Pair petition with thanksgiving (Phil 4:6). Sing before you see the answer (Acts 16:25).
   
• In provision: Bless meals and income with grateful acknowledgment (Deut 8:10; John 6:11).
   

• “Lord, I give You thanks—Your love endures forever” (Ps 136:1).
   
• “I enter Your gates with thanksgiving and Your courts with praise” (Ps 100:4).
   
• “With thanksgiving I make my requests; Your peace guards my heart” (Phil 4:6–7).
   
• “I offer the sacrifice of praise continually” (Heb 13:15).
   

Thanksgiving is the remnant’s way through gates, into peace, and toward victory. As we thank Him, God is enthroned in our praises and moves on our behalf (Ps 22:3; 50:23).

For God’s remnant, prayer is not wishful thinking—it’s delegated action. Jesus shares His authority with His people, so we pray not only to God but from our seated place with Christ (Mt 28:18–20; Eph 2:6). Power flows where authority and obedience align.

• Pray from identity, not insecurity. We are seated with Christ, far above rule and power (Ephesians 1:20–22; 2:6).
   
• Pray in Jesus’ Name—His standing, not ours. “Whatever you ask in My name…” (John 14:13–14).
   
• Pray according to His will and Word. Confidence comes when requests match His will (1 John 5:14–15; John 15:7).
   
• Pray with the Spirit’s help. He leads and energizes effective prayer (Romans 8:26–27; Jude 20).
   
• Pray with clean hands and bold faith. Righteous, fervent prayer is powerful (James 5:16; Mark 11:22–24).
   

• Jesus — Rebuked storms, cast out demons, healed the sick; taught mountain-moving faith (Mk 4:39; Lk 4:35–41; Mk 11:23–24).
   
• The Apostles (Acts) —
   
  • Peter & John: “In the name of Jesus Christ…walk” (Acts 3:6–8).
     
  • The Church in crisis: Prayed, were filled, and spoke with boldness; doors opened (Acts 4:29–31; 12:5–11).
     
  • Paul & Silas: Commanded a spirit to leave; praised at midnight and chains fell (Acts 16:18, 25–26).
     
• Elijah — Authority in covenant; prayed and heaven obeyed (Jas 5:17–18; 1 Kgs 18).
   
• Hezekiah — Laid the threat before God; angelic deliverance followed (2 Kgs 19:14–19, 35).
   

1. Submission before resistance: “Submit…resist the devil” (Jas 4:7).
    
2. Word-saturated decrees: Speak what God has spoken (Jer 1:12; Heb 4:12).
    
3. Use of the “keys”: Bind/loose in alignment with heaven (Mt 16:19; 18:18).
    
4. Armor on, stance firm: Pray “in the Spirit” with the full armor of God (Eph 6:10–18).
    
5. Holiness & mercy: Authority grows where integrity and compassion flow (Ps 24:3–4; Mt 9:36).
    
6. Corporate agreement: Two or three amplify heaven’s verdicts (Mt 18:19–20).
    
7. Obedient follow-through: Pray, then act as He directs (Jn 2:5; Neh 4:9).
    

• Daily Positioning (AM):
   
  • Acknowledge Christ’s lordship (Mt 28:18).
     
  • Put on the armor (Eph 6:10–18).
     
  • Present yourself as yielded (Rom 12:1–2).
     
• Targeted Decrees (Midday):
   
  • Declare a promise over a person/need (Isa 55:11; Jn 15:7).
     
  • Bind what opposes God’s will; loose what He intends (Mt 18:18).
     
• Intercession & Warfare (Evening):
   
  • Pray in the Spirit; watch and give thanks (Eph 6:18; Col 4:2).
     
  • Close with peace and praise (Phil 4:6–7).
     

1. Exalt: “Father, You gave Jesus all authority” (Mt 28:18).
    
2. Align: “I submit to Your will and Word” (Jas 4:7; 1 Jn 5:14).
    
3. Ask/Decree: “In Jesus’ name, let Your kingdom come here—healing/freedom/provision” (Mt 6:10; Acts 3:6).
    
4. Resist: “I resist every work of darkness; it must flee now” (Jas 4:7; Lk 10:19).
    
5. Thank: “Thank You for performing Your Word” (Jer 1:12; Phil 4:6).
    

• “Jesus, Your authority is my covering and commission” (Mt 28:18–20).
   
• “I am seated with Christ; I pray from victory, not for it” (Eph 2:6; 1:20–22).
   
• “Let it be on earth as in heaven—here, now” (Mt 6:10; 18:18–19).
   
• “By Your Word and Spirit, mountains move” (Mk 11:23; Rom 8:26).
   

Bottom line: Remnant prayer carries authority because it is rooted in Christ’s finished work, aligned with God’s will, and energized by the Spirit. When the remnant prays this way, heaven’s verdicts are announced and earth responds (Ps 149:6–9; Acts 4:31).

Buddhism is a religion that originated in ancient India and is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha. It emphasizes the importance of understanding suffering and the impermanence of life. Buddhists aim to achieve enlightenment and end the cycle of rebirth.

Judaism has many festivals throughout the year that commemorate important events in Jewish history, such as Passover, Hanukkah, and Yom Kippur. These festivals provide an opportunity for Jews to connect with their faith, family and community.

I cannot take credit for this header. I heard it from Pastor Nathaniel Bassey during one of his Hallelujah Challenges! The Remnant MUST WORSHIP the creator
