Prayer Points Against Backwardness

Last Updated on September 24, 2021 by Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum

1. Today we will be dealing with prayer against backwardness. But first, you must understand what backwardness is so that you can know how to pray well. Backwardness is an obvious decrease in the growth level of an individual. It could also mean the inability of an individual to rise and live up to the desired expectations that he or she should be. The spirit of backwardness was upon Jacob at one point in his life, and despite the covenant of God upon him to make a nation out of him, he was still living below that expectations.

When we stayed too long in a particular spot or a specific place, we are being troubled by backwardness. Just like God told the Israelites in the book of Deuteronomy 1:6-8, The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them. Sometimes, we stay too long in the village before we enter the city, whereas, it is never the plan of God that we stay longer in the village. But the enemy has done that through the spirit of backwardness.

The plans of God for our lives is for us to start living in the Will and purpose of God for our lives. But when we begin living below that standard, that means we are encountering the spirit of backwardness. That spirit will render the efforts of any individual useless until it has been destroyed. Until you can destroy the spirit of backwardness, your life will continue to crawl when you are supposed to be high up in the sky flying.

The spirit of backwardness will cause a person to finish a journey of ten days in ten years. To live the real reason for our existence, we must defeat the spirit of backwardness. I decree by the power in the name of Jesus that the spirit of backwardness in your life is destroyed in the name of Jesus. This prayer guide will avail you the needed prayer points against backwardness, ensure that you study it well.
