JUICY JULY 2024
THEME: MADE BATTLE-FIT
DATE: 11/07/2024
TOPIC: OH LORD, PLEASE INTERVENE!
TEXT: DANIEL 3:23-30
BIBLE STUDY: 1 THESSALONIANS 5
It is the 11th day of Juicy July 2024, sisters. And today, we are crying to the Lord to please intervene in our dire situations. If you do, I do not- I do not have any other help but Him. He is the only One I can call to and say ‘Father, help me!’ and I am certain He would do an excellently perfect job! Are you ready, dear sister for us to go before the Throne of our Father to seek for help?
Let us go in a very crazy way today. You know where the shoes pinch you and I know mine. Like Jacob when he was faced with the singular option of meeting his angry brother face to face crazily wrestled with the Divine, are you also ready to combat with all the forces that might try to hold you down today and cry for help?
If you are ready, just like Jacob crazily cried that day as he wrestled, sing the following song very passionately:
I will never let You go
Unless You bless me
I will never let you go
Unless You bless me
(7x)
NOW, QUICKLY TURN THE SONG INTO PRAYER POINTS ON YOUR OWN.
Tell the Lord to prepare you for what He has for you today.
Take authority over your environment right now. Curse and bind anything that is not of God.
Declare that you will operate under open heavens even as you pray right now.
———————————-
HALLELUYAH!
Glory be to the Lord.
TESTIMONY HIGHLIGHT
Let us read through these testimonies before we start to pray. May your own testimony also arrive to the Glory of the Lord alone in Jesus’ Name.
My testimonies are already dropping ooo. Last week Thursday, I took like half of the prayer in the morning and went out for my day’s work, still fasting and having the mind to come back and pray the remaining prayers. One of the things I did that day was making stickers for my business. As we were cutting the stickers after we were done, I didn’t know that the mouth of the scissors was being held up, I just bent down to pick one of the waste on the floor and I felt a sharp shook in my eyes. My eyes had met the scissors that was being raised up unintentionally by the person holding it. I suddenly felt the sharp pain inside my eye, and just that moment, something moved the scissors to my nose area and it bruised by nose instead of my eyes. The pain I felt in my eyes till the rest of that day plus the greater pain from the bruising of my nose made me know that if the scissors had not being moved, it would have shooked my eyes out and I would become blindfolded. I got back home to pray my remaining prayer from the bulletin that day and found out that, something very close to what had happened that day was among the prayer points for that day. It was then I knew that what had happened was a battle and that God in His mercy had fought it even before I prayed about it. Praise God with me.
My testimony is from last year’s juicy July. I was owing heavily about 200 thousand naira and didn’t have a single place to turn to for help. I added this request to my juicy July request and God made a way before last year ended, he thought me how to pay the debt little by little, he fed and kept taking care of me through the period (He still does) and today, that debt is gone from my neck. I give glory to God
PRAYER
Praise the Lord for the testimonies, ask the Lord to take all the glory for them. Ask that the Lord will glorify Himself the more in the life of the testifier. And that the Lord will give everyone heartily participating in the Juicy July Prayer programme great testimonies to the glory of His Name. Ask for your own testimonies also.
Amen! Glory be to God!
If you are done praying, you can proceed in this prayer guide.
SING THIS SONG:
Something’s moving
Something changing
See His glory feels like heaven on earth
Something’s moving
Something’s changing
See his glory feels like heaven on earth
Something’s moving
Something’s changing
See his glory feels like heaven on earth
Something’s moving
Something’s changing
See his glory feels like heaven on earth
Sing the above with so much joy! God is ready for us today again!
Today today
Today today
Jesus will answer me
Today today
OH LORD, PLEASE INTERVENE!
Enough is enough!
There are certain situations that people find themselves that it is only the Hand of God that can bring them out.
Israel was in bondage in Egypt, under the rule of Pharaoh. If God had not step in, there would have been no deliverance. Pharaoh was just too strong.
David found himself in miry clay; the more he struggled to be free, the deeper he sank. If God had not stepped in, there would have been no escape.
Lazarus was sick unto death. If the Lord had refused to step in, Lazarus would have remained in the grave, and that would have been the end of the story.
In 2 Kings 4, a poor widow owed so much money, the creditors came to take her two sons in lieu of the money owed. If God did not intervene, there could be no hope anywhere.
In Acts 12, Simon Peter was locked up in prison, to be soon beheaded by Herod, like he did with James. If God had not intervened, Peter’s untimely demise would have been history.
There are so many situations in our lives when we need the supernatural! We need an overhauling from Heaven!

Sister, shout, D-I-V-I-N-E I-N-T-E-R-V-E-N-T-I-O-N!
SHEDRACH, MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO
Let us look at our text for today very quickly in Daniel 3:23-30 (KJV)
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
The case of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego was so hopeless! Who could have brought them out of this? No one, nothing!
You might expect that a fully persuaded attitude from the trio would cause a breakthrough. Not necessarily, though. When Nebuchadnezzar heard Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego’s words of defiance, he did not back down either. He turned up the pressure. Things got even hotter (Daniel 3:19).
Things may be heating up in your life – delay, sickness, mental illness, family problems, lack, spiritual failure etc. You took a stand for God but things just got worse. You found yourself staring down at a fire. A fire like none you’ve seen. You thought God would save you from the fire. You prayed God would save you from the fire. But it remains. Don’t despair. Because when the devil turns up the heat, and you turn up your prayer, God turns up the heat too. And you know what, heat pass heat!
Can you scream that?
Oh yes! Heat pass heat! Fire pass fire! Hallelujah!
THE MIRACLE IS IN THE FIRE
You expected the miracle outside the fire. You thought God would save you before things went that far. But for you, the miracle is in the fire! No, this fire you are in won’t consume you! You will not end in ashes. The fire will not slay you in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
When Nebuchadnezzar threw Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into the fire, their chains broke, Jesus walked with them, and they did not smell of smoke (Daniel 3:24-27).
When you walk through the fire, chains will break. Satan has used your situation to keep you living a small and contained life. No longer! Chains break in the fire! Amen?
According to the promise of Isaiah 43, Jesus will walk with you in the fire. Whatever the trouble or trial may be, you will have a tangible sense of his presence. Jesus reveals himself in the fire. Watch for deeper revelation and worship experiences in your life now in that fire because you are coming out of it untouched! You shall not be scorched!
When Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego exited the fire, they received a promotion. King Nebuchadnezzar saw the goodness and favour of God in their lives and promoted them in his worldly kingdom (Daniel 3:30).
The fire may have been your greatest test, but on the other side you will see promotion. You will experience spiritual promotion, for fire always refines!
If the fires of life are threatening, take heart. The miracle of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego is a miracle for you too. Be fully persuaded. Believe the promise. Don’t give up. Your miracle is in the fire!
PRAYER TIME
WORSHIP
Let us take some quality time to worship the Lord for His Word that we have just gone through. Thank Him for the specific revelations that He has given you today. When you are done, move on.
SPIRITUAL SANITATION

ATMOSPHERIC SANITATION
Now, take charge of your environment. Begin to cover where you are now with the Blood of Jesus. Cover yourself with the fire of the Holy Ghost.
PAUSE TO WRITE
Where do you need Divine intervention in your life right now?
That area that you know that only God can fix for you- begin to write them down in your journal.
Gloooooraaaaayyyyy to God ALMIGHTY!
ANOTHER IN THE FIRE by Hillsong United
There’s a grace when the heart is under fire
Another way when the walls are closing in
And when I look at the space between
Where I used to be and this reckoning
I know I will never be alone
There was another in the fire
Standing next to me
There was another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
Of how I’ve been set free
There is a cross that bears the burden
Where another died for me
There is another in the fire
All my debt left for dead beneath the waters
I’m no longer a slave to my sin anymore
And should I fall in the space between
What remains of me and this reckoning
Either way I won’t bow to the things of this world
And I know I will never be alone
There is another in the fire
Standing next to me
There is another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
What power set me free
There is a grave that holds no body
And now that power lives in me
There is another in the fire, oh
There is another in the fire, whoa
There is another in the fire, whoa
There is another in the fire, oh
I can see
And I can see the light in the darkness
As the darkness bows to Him
I can hear the roar in the heavens
As the space between wears thin
I can feel the ground shake beneath us
As the prison walls cave in
Nothing stands between us
Nothing stands between us
There is no other name but the name that is Jesus
He who was and still is, and will be through it all
So come what may in the space between
All the things unseen and this reckoning
And I know I will never be alone
And I know I will never be alone
There’ll be another in the fire
Standing next to me
There’ll be another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
How good You’ve been to me
I’ll count the joy come every battle
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
I can see the light
And I can see the light in the darkness
As the darkness bows to Him
I can hear the roar in the heavens
As the space between wears thin
I can feel the ground shake beneath us
As the prison walls cave in
Nothing stands between us
Nothing stands between
There’ll be another in the fire
Standing next to me
There’ll be another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
How good You’ve been to me
I’ll count the joy come every battle
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
Count the joy come every battle
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
I’ll count the joy come every battle
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be, sing it again
I’ll count the joy come every battle
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
I’ll count the joy come every battle
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
