30 Prayer Points Against Stagnation

Last Updated on September 25, 2024 by Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum

Today we will be dealing with 30 Prayer Points Against Stagnation. Stagnation is a state where progress seems hindered or stopped entirely. It can manifest in various areas of life—spiritual, financial, career, relationships, or personal growth. The Bible reminds us that God has plans for our lives that include growth and forward movement (Jeremiah 29:11). Therefore, as believers, we can stand against stagnation in prayer, claiming God’s promises of fruitfulness and advancement.

What Does the Bible Say About Stagnation?

Several scriptures reveal God’s desire for His children to move forward and prosper:

1. Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
– God’s plan is not for us to remain stagnant but to progress in His purpose.

2. Philippians 3:13-14 – Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. – Paul reminds us that pressing forward is essential to Christian life.

3. Isaiah 43:18-19 – Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
– God can create a path where there seems to be none, bringing fresh opportunities and breakthrough.

Common Causes of Stagnation

1. Spiritual Hindrance: Sin, disobedience, or a lack of spiritual focus can cause stagnation.
2. Generational Curses: Unbroken ancestral patterns can lead to stagnation.
3. Fear and Doubt: Fear of failure or doubt in God’s promises can lead to indecision and inaction.
4. Opposition from the Enemy: Satan often works to hinder God’s plans for His people, bringing obstacles that lead to stagnation.
