Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! | 3,650 Minutes of Prayer

Glory to YHWH, the Ancient One of Days!

Today’s episode is a special, standalone session set apart from our regular series. This is a dedicated submission to all the listeners who have been taking intentional time to dwell in the presence of the Lord. While we remain completely on track with our ongoing journey, today we stepped aside to focus entirely on a deep spiritual truth. We anchored our time in Matthew 5 3, meditating on what it truly means to be poor in spirit. We broke down how this poverty is not a matter of worldly lack, but a profound spiritual state. To be poor in spirit means to be deeply thirsty for the Lord, recognizing a state of heart that can only be quenched by the Spirit of the living God. It belongs to those who desperately need His presence every single day. From this place of surrender, we spent our time glorifying the Lord and lifting up deep prayers for the days ahead. Dedicating this month of June and the half left of the year, we prayed that the presence of Yahweh may be overwhelmingly strong in our lives. We prayed His presence into our jobs, our decisions, and every single thing we set our hands to do, because the presence of God is heaven to us. We celebrated the magnificent love of God the Father, who gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us. We rejoiced in the reality that Christ did not just die, He rose again and is now seated at the right hand of God, where heaven has many rooms prepared for us. As we live out our eternal life starting now, Christ continually reveals the Father to us. We reminded ourselves that He is the head and we are His body. We are His temple, His Spirit lives within us, and greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. We closed by lifting our voices to the Ancient One of Days, magnifying Him as Yahweh, Elohim, El Shaddai, and Jehovah Elyon. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the One who was, the One who is, and the One who is to come. We prayed that the Holy Spirit would increase the weight of His presence in every single thing we speak, every prayer we utter, and everywhere we go. Prayer and Reflection Scriptures (AMP) Matthew 5 3 "Blessed [spiritually prosperous, happy, to be admired] are the poor in spirit [those who devoid of spiritual arrogance, regard themselves as insignificant], for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." John 3 16 "For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [only] begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 14 2 "In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you." 1 John 4 4 "You are of God and have already overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." 1 Corinthians 6 19 "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own?" Word Insight Ptochos (πτώχους) Poor | In a spiritual sense, it denotes one who is entirely destitute of resources, completely dependent on the wealth of God's grace and thirsting for His Spirit. Attik (עַתִּיק) Ancient | As in the Ancient of Days from Daniel 7, representing the absolute pre-existence, timeless sovereignty, and eternal authority of God. Yasha (יָשַׁע) Quenched | Saved | To be broad, spacious, or delivered; the spiritual satisfaction and rescue that comes only from the divine presence. There is One true God, the Creator of all things, revealed in three persons God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. There is One God and One Spirit Who has redeemed us all. I am Mathew Sekanjako, a believer in our Lord Christ Jesus (Yeshua HaMashiach), the one Son of God. I serve and confess God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This interceding is offered in faith, in obedience, and in love, for all who will listen.

Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! | 3,650 Minutes of Prayer

Today is Day One Hundred Twenty Seven of 3,650. This episode was not a time of preaching, but a pure and deep outpouring of praise to the Lord. Drawing from the profound simplicity of Psalm 117, we spent our time praising the Lord, for He is good and His mercy endures forever. We lifted up and magnified the name of the Lord: the name of Jesus, Yahweh, Elohim, El Shaddai, and Jehovah Elyon. We gave glory to the One who is, the One who was, and the One who is to come, the author and finisher of our salvation. Today was entirely dedicated to resting in His presence and giving Him the highest praise. Hallelujah! Prayer and Reflection Scriptures (AMP) Psalm 117:1 to 2: "O praise the Lord, all you nations! Praise Him, all you people! For His lovingkindness prevails over us [and we experience it greater and greater], and the truth of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)" Psalm 136:1: "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His lovingkindness (graciousness, mercy, compassion) endures forever." Revelation 1:8: "'I am the Alpha and the Omega,' says the Lord God, 'who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty (the Ruler of all).'" Hebrews 12:2: "Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]." There is One true God, the Creator of all things, revealed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. There is One God and One Spirit Who has redeemed us all. I am Mathew Sekanjako, a believer in our Lord Christ Jesus (Yeshua HaMashiach), the one Son of God. I serve and confess God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This interceding is offered in faith, in obedience, and in love, for all who will listen.

Holding Onto Your Faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ | 3,650 Minutes of Prayer

Today is Day One Hundred Twenty Six of 3,650. In this episode, I shared the deeper story behind my graduation testimony. It was never just about wearing the cap and gown; it was about how that gown was made through a journey of absolute trust in God. I shared the times of tears, the moments I almost got kicked out of school because of a lack of provision, and facing the overwhelming weight of tens of thousands of dollars in tuition. But today, I stand completely debt free. Having no mother or father to rely on, God stepped in and became the parent who stood in the gap when earthly parents were not there. I give all glory to God because this is a testimony of His fulfilled promise, just as He kept His promise to Abraham. The degree the world sees today is something I saw long ago in faith. Faith comes from hearing Christ, and it is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen with our physical eyes. To hold onto what I saw in Christ in the unseen realm, and to finally walk and stand in its physical manifestation, brings me a depth of joy and tears that can only be expressed in His holy presence. God is truly faithful! We concluded in prayer, asking the Lord to give us even more testimonies to share, for we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the power of our testimony. Prayer and Reflection Scriptures (AMP) Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality; faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]." Romans 10:17: "So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself)." Psalm 27:10: "Although my father and my mother have abandoned me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child]." Revelation 12:11: "And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death."

"The Goodness of Yahweh" | 3,650 Minutes of Prayer

Today is Day One Hundred Twenty Five of 3,650. Again, today was not a traditional time of preaching, but a beautiful outpouring of my personal testimony. I shared the journey of my graduation, testifying as the first in my family to finish from primary and middle school, to high school, and now university. I declared the truth of Isaiah, that the least will become a mighty nation. God is enduring and faithful. He is not a man that He should lie; what He has said, He has surely done. This is my testimony! We spent our time simply talking about the goodness of Yahweh. His goodness requires no explanation, and it is not like the goodness of this world. It is not just about a temporary feeling or receiving a gift. His goodness is simply who He is. It is pure, divine, absolute goodness. We gave glory and honor to the living God, rejoicing in the truth that the Father now abides in us, making our very lives a living testimony of His faithfulness. We concluded our time in deep prayer, resting in His unchangeable goodness. Prayer and Reflection Scriptures (AMP) Isaiah 60:22: "The smallest one will become a thousand (a clan), and the least one a mighty nation. I, the Lord, will bring it about quickly in its [appointed] time." Numbers 23:19: "God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken and will He not make it good and fulfill it?" Psalm 34:8: "O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good; how blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who takes refuge in Him." 1 John 4:15: "Whoever confesses and acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God." Word Insight Tov (טוֹב): Good or goodness. Referring to the pure, absolute, and unchangeable goodness of God that is completely independent of worldly circumstances. There is One true God, the Creator of all things, revealed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. There is One God and One Spirit Who has redeemed us all. I am Mathew Sekanjako, a believer in our Lord Christ Jesus (Yeshua HaMashiach), the one Son of God. I serve and confess God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This interceding is offered in faith, in obedience, and in love, for all who will listen.

My Cup Overflows, And I Dwell in the House of the Lord Forever | 3,650 Minutes of Prayer

Today's episode is not a preaching. It is a statement, a deep prayer, and a pure worship of the Lord. I started by giving a testimony and sharing that I am graduating today. As a first generation student, I am the first in every single thing: the first in middle school, the first in high school, and now the first to graduate college. I am graduating today to the Lord. This is a pure testimony that God is faithful and His mercy endures forever, from generation to generation. In deep happiness, we spent our time simply glorifying the Lord. I read Isaiah 60 and Psalm 23 in their entirety. Today is not about explaining anything; it is simply about praising Him for His goodness, acknowledging that my cup overflows, and declaring that I will dwell in the house of the Lord forevermore. Prayer and Reflection Scriptures (AMP) Psalm 23:5 to 6: "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord." Isaiah 60:1: "Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord]; for your light has come, and the glory and brilliance of the Lord has risen upon you." Isaiah 60:22: "The smallest one will become a thousand (a clan), and the least one a mighty nation. I, the Lord, will bring it about quickly in its [appointed] time." There is One true God, the Creator of all things, revealed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. There is One God and One Spirit Who has redeemed us all. I am Mathew Sekanjako, a believer in our Lord Christ Jesus (Yeshua HaMashiach), the one Son of God. I serve and confess God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This interceding is offered in faith, in obedience, and in love, for all who will listen.
