There are seasons when the Church must do more than gather; she must be stirred. August comes to us this year as such a season: a Month of Stirring and Warfare, in which the Lord is calling His people to awaken, to pray with new fervour, and to lay hold of the supernatural grace available to every believer who will contend for it.
This devotional was written to walk with you, day by day, through thirty-one focused encounters, each one built around a scripture, a central truth, a reflection, and three prayer points you can carry into your own place of prayer. Some days will stir you to warfare against forces that have hindered your family for years. Other days will lead you into worship, thanksgiving, and rest in God’s faithfulness. Every day is designed to move you forward.
I encourage you to read slowly. Do not rush past the Scripture. Let the central truth settle into your spirit before you move to the reflection. And when you come to the prayer points, do not merely read them, pray them, aloud if you are able, until you sense the shift that comes when heaven responds to importunate faith.
It is my prayer that by the time you reach Day 31, you will not be the same believer who began on Day 1. May this be, indeed, our month of stirring and warfare, and may it end in testimony.
— Pastor (Bishop) Simpe Bediako
