Prayer Corner 19 OCTOBER 2025
“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” Proverbs 22:29 (KJV)
Beloved, Proverbs 22:29 highlights a powerful principle of divine promotion through diligence. Diligence is not just hard work; it is consistent, purposeful, and excellent work done with the right heart. God honours diligence because it reflects His nature—faithful, orderly, and intentional.
In this verse, we see a promise: the diligent will not remain in obscurity. God positions such people before kings—people of influence and authority. This means favour, elevation, and access to platforms beyond natural qualification.
As believers, diligence in our calling, business, studies, ministry, and even relationships opens doors that no man can shut. Today, as we pray, ask the Lord to baptize you with the spirit of diligence and to connect your labour with divine visibility and favour.
- Father, I give You praise for every opportunity You have already given me to grow and be diligent in Jesus’ name
- Father, I ask for the grace and spirit of diligence to rest upon me. Deliver me from laziness, procrastination, and distraction. Let my hands be trained for consistent and excellent work in everything I do in Jesus’ name
- Father, as I walk in diligence, position me before kings. Let my efforts not go unnoticed. Open doors of favour, influence, and elevation in places I never imagined in Jesus’ name
- Father, I refuse to be hidden. Let the light of Your glory upon my work draw the attention of the right people. Break every limitation keeping me from visibility and relevance in Jesus’ name
- Father, anoint me with excellence in my career, business, and calling. Let my work speak of Your wisdom and attract honour and recognition for Your glory in Jesus’ name
- I decree and declare that I will not stand before mean men. I am being prepared and promoted for greater places. I shall be recognized, recommended, and rewarded because the hand of God is upon me, in Jesus’ name.
