24 Hour Prayer Watch Guidelines
Thank you for volunteering yourself to be used by God to stand as a Watchman for His people.
Your Commission:
Pray for 1 Hour everyday throughout the month of February, at the time slot you have chosen.
In case you haven’t been able to commit to a specific slot throughout the month, you may still choose an hour to pray along with the volunteers at any time that you are able to make available for the cause.
The prayer guidelines below will help to give you a prayer focus with structure and content to fill your hour slot.
***In addition to this prayer direction, please also listen to God, and pray for any particular person or family or situation that He may bring to your mind and lead you to pray specifically about.
I pray that God will honour your commitment and reward your sacrifice abundantly in Jesus’s Name.
Yours in His Service,
Pastor Wale Ola
