So Christ Himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of Him who is the head, that is, Christ. Ephesians 4:11-15
- Pray that you will develop a passion and hunger for the Word of God. You will embrace it, chew it, work it, do it, and hold unto it until you see results. Pray against laziness and laxity in your word life.
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do. James 1:22-25
- Pray that God will give you the grace to understand His voice, His heart desire for you, His ways, and to know Him deeper and better than ever before.
This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, 24but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” Jeremiah 9:23-24
- Pray for increased grace, strength, anointing, direction, wisdom, and a higher dimension of God’s presence, power and glory upon your man of God, Apostle Ese Duke as he continues to impact lives in this generation, across the globe.

- Pray that God will send committed, selfless, and dedicated destiny helpers to help move His mandate forward, so He can flourish and blossom.
So He said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty. Zechariah 4:6
- Pray for divine protection over your man and woman of God, their family, and the ministry. Pray that a hedge of fire surround them and that every hidden agenda of the enemy be destroyed by the power of the Holy Spirit.
