THANKSGIVING: Sing of God’s mercies; with your mouth make known His faithfulness (Psalm 89.1). Carefully consider all of God’s goodness to you, your family, the Church and Nigeria; and thank God heartily

REPENTANCE: Repent for all known and even unknown sins of yours, your family, the Church and Nigeria

THE CHURCH & THE NATION

• Matt 28.18   “All power in heaven and on earth has been given unto Me” Proclaim the Lordship of the risen Christ over your life, your family, all families, all government and political structures, educational systems, media and entertainment systems, worship and religious institutions, the economy of Nigeria and the world, and ALL spheres. Decree that all contention against His Lordship be broken and nullified
• Rev 5.11-12: “Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing” All power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessing in Nigeria and beyond now belong to Jesus Christ our Lord by creation + redemption. All contrary possessors and contenders, lose grip NOW
• Almighty God, strengthen and equip me, my family and all of Your Church to effectively control and command power, riches, wisdom, strength as Your faithful stewards, like Joseph, Daniel and others of old
• All corruption, occult powers, witchcraft, sorcery and other devices by which agents of darkness have held on to power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessing, melt completely in the mighty name of Jesus Christ
• By the matchless sacrifice of the blood of Jesus Christ, let every voice of Islamic and occult enchantments, divinations, invocations be completely silenced In the name of Jesus Christ, deployment of satanic power to seek appointment to the office of Chief of Staff to the President or any other office in the land, to strengthen any evil throne, or for any other satanic ambitions or schemes contrary to God, be frustrated. Let empowerment of persons, evil thrones, institutions and structures at all levels, in all locations in and outside Nigeria, who are pursuing agenda contrary to that of God for Nigeria and the Church be CUT OFF; all the effects and impacts they were supposed to produce for them be nullified; their schemes, projects, structures and devices collapse.
• Jer 10.11 “The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens” Strange gods, perish from Nigeria. Every altar of Islam in Nigeria, in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere, altars of occults and cults, altars of vain philosophies of the Western World, be broken, the priests be disrobed, their influences on Nigeria be cut off. Every principality and power that oversees and empowers those altars be bound, chained and cast far away from influence upon Nigeria and the Church worldwide, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen
• Job 12.24-25: “He takes away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. They grope in darkness where there is no light, and He makes them to stagger like a drunken man”. Lord, thank You as Angels that do the word of God swing into action, especially in this Ramadan season. Let the hearts of Sultans, Emirs, Imams, Mallams, Islamic scholars and all who are at the fore in misleading the people be taken away. Let their confusion and blindness be so obvious that their followers flee for the True Light in Christ. Let it be so for every other doctrine of devils and philosophies of men; let their captives be set free and let them come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ
• Matt 28.19 “Go ye therefore and teach all nations” O Lord, please wake up Your Church to evangelize the Muslims, cultists, occultists and all unbelievers like never before, especially as it is so clear that we are in the last days. Stir Your Church not to ignore the massive numbers of Muslims that have migrated to more Christian-dominated states. Saul was on His way to Damascus to kill disciples but got converted. Let this be their portion, O Lord
• Zech 13.7: “…smite the shepherd and the flock shall be scattered…”. Almighty God, as You smote Saul, a shepherd of the Pharisees and arch-terrorist of the Church, please smite today’s arch-enemies of Your Church and the gospel. All disobedience and rebellion against the Almighty be subject in authority to the will of God
• Psalm 125.3: “…the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous…” Almighty God, please shield any believers in government or business who are being oppressed or targeted by wicked men for elimination.
• 8:9-10. “Associate yourselves…and ye shall be broken…gird yourselves and ye shall be broken in pieces…Take counsel together and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand; for God is with us”In the name of God Almighty, all that are taking counsel and associating within and outside against the Church and against God’s people, be broken in pieces; their counsel come to nought, no word they speak should stand. Almighty God, please do this at all levels, all over the states and FCT.
• In Eze. 11:1-13a, Our God You are the same yesterday, today and forever. We prophesy against the men that devise mischief and give wicked counsel in the city. O Lord God, bring Your sword upon them, bring them out of the midst of the people and deliver them into the hands of strangers and execute judgments on them, cause them to fall by the sword, judge them at the border of Nigeria, and cause them to know that You are the LORD. O Lord, let it be so in our communities, LGAs, States, State House Abuja, all Government Houses, and even corporate boardrooms.
• 21:24-27. The impact of the pandemic on crude oil price, has put our economy in a precarious situation, more than ever before. We cannot afford any longer, that people who cannot manage all aspects of the economy should continue handling it. Almighty God, overturn and overturn all the incompetent hands that have been placed in vital positions on personal, ethnic or political considerations. Lord raise for us Josephs, Daniels and Nehemiahs to rebuild and raise up the economy across this delicate period and beyond, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen

COVID-19

• Mal 4.2 “Unto them that fear Your name, shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing on His wings” O Lord, please by Your Spirit, convict the world mightily in this season of global crises, to truly fear Your name and act in the fear. Then in Your mercy, arise with healing in Your wings over Nigeria and the nations of the earth. Burn of the Corona Virus, O Lord
• Hag 2.7: “…and they shall come to the Desire of Nation…”. Let people troop in unprecedented numbers unto Your Church from COVID-19 and let there be revival
• Hag 2.7 “…and I will fill this house with glory…” Let the ultimate result of COVID-19 be further glory unto Your name in Nigeria and worldwide
• John 1.5 (The MSG) “The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness and the darkness couldn’t put it out”Lord, please equip and stir up Your Church to offer effective prayer and divine solutions to the present global challenges; let the world see unmistakable difference; and that all “religions” do not worship the same true God
• Job 5:12-16: Mighty God, disappoint any devices of the wicked and all who are working crafty political, spiritual or economic schemes including mandatory vaccination, those seeking to hurriedly pass evil laws in Nigeria; turn the wisdom of the wise backwards; save the poor and Your children in Africa from any schemes for testing unproven vaccines; frustrate any plans for implanting digital immunization certification
• Jer 30.17, 23: Mighty God, wherever and on whoeverany wind and storm is fulfilling Your purpose, please work a quick work, let it accomplish Your humbling, judgment, or correction; and take away this plague speedily in Your mercy, for the sake of the poor, the needy and of Your children who are hard-pressed in the lockdown.
• As the lock-down is gradually being lifted, for the various reasons, Lord, please shield Nigeria from any increase in the outbreak of infection. Give wisdom on the basis of Ps. 91: 9-10.   As people that have made the LORD our habitation, Lord in mercy and by Your Spirit snuff out COVID 19 in our nation, so that the evil of COVID 19, does not befall us.
