PRAYER POINTS FOR THE 24/7 PRAYER CHAIN FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST AND NIGERIA, JUNE 14-20, 2020
WORSHIP & REPENTANCE
“Oh come, let us worship and bow down;Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand.” Ps 95:6-7 NKJV. Father, we come, bowing our hearts and all, beholding You as our God, our Refuge, our Helper. By the gracious work of Jesus Christ our Lord, we are Your sheep and You are our Shepherd. Cast us not away and speedily hear our cry, our God and Redeemer.
"Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.” Isa 45:22 NKJV. Father, we come confessing our helplessness before You. We have sinned and departed from Your ways. Our hope and fate lie only in Your promises.We look unto You on behalf of the Church and Nigeria; Arise therefore, Lord, and be our Salvation.
THANKSGIVING
1. That in spite of the articulate plans, networking and threats of the enemy, our God has remained our banner. We have not been consumed.
2. That more and more of the Almajirai are being settled and plans are afoot to give them Western education alongside Quoranic education which is paving way for the demise of that system forever.
3. That one of their own is demanding that all nomadic herdsmen in Nigeria should come and settle in RUGA in Kano State, with a request that all foreign herdsmen should be banned from entering the country as a way of ending the herders-farmers clashes. This will go a long way in stopping Christian persecution. This call has been heralded by the House of Reps through a motion.
4. That Nigerian voices are unifying in condemning evil in the matter of rape and abuse of women.
5. Continue to thank God that the satanic prophecies of doom and death on Nigerian and African streets lost its power and has not manifested.
6. That the Infectious Diseases Bill, a tool of the One World agenda has suffered a major setback.
"Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Matt 18:18NKJV. Father, we continue to stand to checkmate and destroy every enchantment, sorcery, divination, action, tokens or pronouncements made over Nigeria in all forms, wherever they are made and for whatever purposes, at any time by day or night. Their sponsors and implementers refuse to glorify You. Also they run contrary to Your plan, agenda and purpose for the good of Nigeria and its prophetic destiny. Therefore we decree that the horses and riders be consumed in their evil enterprises. By the agreement of every interceding voice, we establish this, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
PRAYERS FOR THE CHURCH
1. “Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scornful men, who rule this people who are in Jerusalem, Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, It will not come to us,For we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood we have hidden ourselves’" Isa 28:14-15NKJV. We set our faces against everyone involved in compromise, selling Christians and Christianity in the nation for greed and gain in the false confidence and assumption that the evil they are consenting to will not touch them. By the power of the Spirit of God, every betrayer of the Cross and their agreements be located and brought to judgment.
2. “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ’Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily. Also I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plummet’” Isa 28:16-17. We demand that God’s foundation be reestablished in the Church as the name of Jesus passes through the entire Church for a cleansing. The tables of money changers be overturned for the birthing of a new dawn. Let righteousness and justice become the new standards of the Kingdom in Jesus’ name.
3. “The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place. Your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; when the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it. As often as it goes out it will take you;…” Isa 28:18-19NKJV. Let every refuge of lies and evil agreement causing havoc in the Church be destroyed; let the hand of the Lord also bring every compromiser to book; and let every satanic agreement with death be annulled.
4. “For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it. For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon — that He may do His work, His awesome work, and bring to pass His act, His unusual act.” Isa 28:20-21NKJV. Let the visitation of the Lord be so awesome that men will henceforth be constrained and afraid to do evil. O God, please do Your “awesome work” and Your “unusual act”
5. “Does the plowman keep plowing all day to sow? Does he keep turning his soil and breaking the clods? When he has leveled its surface, does he not sow the black cumin and scatter the cummin, plant the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in its place? For He instructs him in right judgment, His God teaches him.” Isa 28:24-26NKJV. Let the counsel and precepts of the Lord take over the Church, birthing a new order appointed by the Lord. Let the Church thereafter be instructed in right judgment to fulfill God’s purpose and counsel.
6. “if My people Who are called by My name will [a] humble themselves [b] and pray and [c] seek My face, [d] and turn from their wicked ways, THEN I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” 2 Chron 7.14. O Lord our God, as a father pities his children, pity us and help us to do all the four things You require from Your children to heal our land, not only to pray and pray.
PRAYERS FOR THE NATION
1. “Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? "Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman." Gal 4:28-30 NKJV. Heavenly Father, You didn’t bring Isaac forth to be oppressed by Ishmael. Your counsel was never for the son of the bondwoman to oppress the son of promise. Because the Scriptures cannot be broken, Lord, in mercy, reverse our oppression and cause our oppressors to be ensnared in their devices; let them learn to fear You and glorify Your name.
2. “Bow down Your heavens, O Lord, and come down; Touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. Flash forth lightning and scatter them; shoot out Your arrows and destroy them. Stretch out Your hand from above; rescue me and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of foreigners, whose mouth speaks lying words, and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.” Ps 144:5-8NKJV. Lord, You know the foreigners whose stock in trade is lying and falsehood, who oppress us and threaten to take our God-given endowments without recourse to You, against Your justice and eternal boundaries for nations and peoples. Deliver Nigeria from their hands, Lord. Give to them the recompense that is meet for their evil adventures. Bring as many as are appointed to salvation to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
3. “That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as pillars, sculptured in palace style; that our barns may be full, Supplying all kinds of produce; That our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields; That our oxen may be well laden;That there be no breaking in or going out; that there be no outcry in our streets.” Ps 144:12-14NKJV. Lord, please have mercy, fight our cause, let peace and prosperity be ushered in. Let our children and youth that are almost lost adorn Your gates. Please restore the IDPs to their lands, Lord
OTHER PRAYERS
1. That the call for the recall of nomadic herdsmen supported by the House of Reps should find greater amplification and adoption across the length and breadth of Nigeria.
2. That every plan by Islamists, New Age Movement and the likes, to make Nigeria a strategic gate for perpetrating their evil agenda, crumble and dissipate in the Name of Jesus Christ.
3. That God would cause the eyes of the world to focus on Kajuru killings and amplify every accurate expose and alert on persecution of Christian in Nigeria. May evil consume the evil doers in Jesus Name.
4. “…for with a strong hand, he will let them go…” - Exodus 6.1 O Lord, the same yesterday, today and forever, let our cries come unto Thee; and with a strong hand, cause Leah Sharibu and all other captives and IDPs to be released and returned; cause Your Church to be delivered and at rest
5. “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy” – Matt 5.7. Lord, be merciful unto all medics treating COVID-19 cases. Please keep them from infection and death.
6. Any other prayers as your are led, including expansions and extensions of these prayer points.
7. Also prophesy; proclaim Psalm 46 & Jer 33 over your life, family, the Church and Nigeria.
