365 Day Prayer Shield Over South Africa

What if the Church prayed without ceasing — not for a season, but for a whole year?

We are inviting every believer, every church, and every prayer network to join us in placing a 365-day prayer shield over our nation. One hour at a time. One heart at a time. Together.

When every slot is filled, South Africa will be covered in 24/7 unbroken intercession — crying out for healing, for breakthrough, and for God’s hand to move powerfully across our land.

How it works: Book one or more hourly prayer slots across the full year. When all slots are filled, we achieve continuous, unbroken prayer coverage over the nation. Daily prayer points will be available below the calendar to guide your time with God.

This is your invitation.
This is our moment.
Will you take your place on the wall?

1 Timothy 2:1-4: Prayers and intercessions for all people, especially those in authority, so that we may live peaceful and godly lives.

Personal Prophetic Declarations to Pray every day.

I declare that my life and all that concerns me is under the Lordship of Jesus Christ (Romans 14:8; Colossians 1:16–18).
I declare that the blood of Jesus speaks on my behalf, and I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (Hebrews 12:24; 2 Corinthians 5:21).
I declare that no weapon formed against me or all that concerns me shall prosper because of these intercessory prayers, in Jesus’ Name (Isaiah 54:17).
I separate myself from all ungodly soul ties, monitoring spirits, and familiar spirits, in the Name of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 6:17; Colossians 2:15). Amen.

Week 04: Restoring Covenant, Unity and Godly Legacy in the Family

May’s theme continues as we focus on: Family—restoring covenant, strengthening unity and building a Godly legacy within the home.

God is calling us back to His original design for family to bring healing, unity, overcoming and Kingdom advancement. His blueprint for marriage and family is a divine pattern for fruitfulness, strength and flourishing. As Your Word declares, “one shall chase a thousand, and two shall put ten thousand to flight” Deuteronomy32:30, reminding us of the power of covenant and unity.

As we return to God’s original design, may our families experience His blessing, dominion and divine covering, establishing a Godly legacy for generations to come.

Week 04  Recognizing God’s Covenant Design through Marriage

Day 23 (24 May 2026)

Action Item 1: God created Man in His image and Likeness

Genesis 1: 27 “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them.”

Understanding we are made in the image of God:

  • Father God, we bow our knees before You in acknowledgment You are our Creator, and that we are made in Your image and likeness (Genesis 1:27). Lord, when You created Adam, Eve was already part of Your divine plan, revealing Your original design of covenant: Two becoming One. Lead us in Your purpose for marriage and family and as we reflect Your unity and love in our relationships. We pray this in Jesus’ name.

Action Item 2: God’s first declaration over mankind was Blessing and Purpose.

Genesis 2:8 “The Lord God planted a garden [enclosed, fenced] eastward in Eden, and there He put the man He had formed.”

Genesis 1: 28 “Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion … on the earth.”

Hedge of Protection and Provision established by God:

  • Father, it was Your original intention to protect and provide for Mankind by placing him in an enclosed garden filled with provision. Teach us to walk in Your ways and to live in obedience to Your Word that we may enjoy the same covering, protection and provision reflected in Genesis 2:8. We pray this in Jesus’ name.
  • Father, in the name of Jesus, Your first spoken word to Mankind in Genesis 1:28 is to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, subdue it and have dominion. Words of direction, purpose and instruction. Forgive us where we have been disobedient, neglected or taken Your Blessing for granted. Lord, Your Blessing is more powerful than what we can comprehend revealing Your purpose and direction for life.  Renew this truth in our hearts and spirits. Lead us as we grow through obedience to Your commandments and live God-centered lives under Your covering, protection and love.

Action Item 3: Where Unity is restored, Blessing and Protection Flow

Ps 133:1-3 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!…For there the Lord commanded the blessing—Life forevermore.

God’s blessing releases dominion and established His hedge of protection:

  • Father, we come before You acknowledging that unity is so precious in Your sight that You commanded a blessing wherever it dwells. Lord, we ask You to forgive us for holding onto any unforgiveness, divisions, strife, pride, offence and broken relationships that have created gaps in our hedge of protection around our families. Lord, where there has been misunderstanding, bring clarity; where there has been separation, bring reconciliation and healing in areas of hurt. We ask that the Blood of Jesus will flow into every breach in our hedges. Teach us repair the breaches in our hedges as we walk in humility and love toward one another. Lord, as unity is restored, let Your blessing flow over our homes. We ask You to teach our family to stand together in covenant, bringing dominion as we build Your Kingdom on earth. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus.
