PRAYER POINTS FOR THE 24/7 PRAYER CHAIN FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST AND NIGERIA JULY 19-25, 2020
WORSHIP & THANKSGIVING
“Inasmuch as there is none like You, O LORD, You are great, and Your name is great in might. Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For this is Your rightful due. For among all the wise men of the nations, And in all their kingdoms, there is none like You” - Jer 10:6-7 NKJV
We bless and worship You, O Lord of heaven and earth and Governor among the nations for sustaining us, our families, the Church and the nation. We thank You for all You have done, all the answered prayers on this 24/7 platform, the manifestations that are yet to come. We also thank you for the good words You have spoken concerning the destiny of our nation which in You, cannot fail to find fulfillment. We give You all the glory Lord, in Jesus’ name. Thank You for this season of the revelations of iniquity and confusion among those in the very seat of power to outwork Your purpose. Thank You for clearer revelations of Yourself that You are bringing to light more and more through this pandemic. Thank You because Your counsel shall prevail in all things.
REPENTANCE
“When Ephraim spoke, trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended through Baal worship, he died. Now they sin more and more, and have made for themselves molded images, idols of their silver, according to their skill; all of it is the work of craftsmen. They say of them, ‘Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!’ " - Hos 13:1-2 NKJV
Dear Lord, our sins are always before us as a rebellious nation but we thank You because You have the power to forgive our sins. As Your people, we departed from Your precepts and in our nation, ungodliness streams the streets. Look upon us therefore in mercy and for the sake of Your name and Your heritage that we represent, draw us unto You and revive us. Through a work of Your sovereign Spirit, turn us unto You, Lord.
DECLARATION
As Your people, we invoke Your Word upon our nation as we set our faces upon all things exalting themselves above the knowledge of God and bring them down. Every work of sorcery, enchantments and divinations made or caused to be made upon this nation, in the night or in the day, we command them destroyed by the blood of Jesus Christ. We command the tokens to fail and their expectation rendered invalid, in Jesus’ mighty name.
THE CHURCH
- "As I live," says the Lord GOD, "surely because My flock became a prey, and My flock became food for every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did My shepherds search for My flock, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock" — therefore, O shepherds, hear the word of the LORD! Thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require My flock at their hand; I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep, and the shepherds shall feed themselves no more; for I will deliver My flock from their mouths, that they may no longer be food for them." - Ezek 34:8-10 NKJV. Lord, according to Your Word, please have Your way in Your Church that we might once again become the model and light to the world as You designed it in Your wisdom. Give us God-fearing, shepherds who truly serve God, love and feed the flock, and depend on you for sustenance and blessing; not clever human devices.
- “Your watchmen shall lift up their voices, with their voices they shall sing together; For they shall see eye to eye when the LORD brings back Zion.” - Isa 52:8 NKJV We commit the Church unto You and ask that in this season of the pandemic and discordant voices, Your people will hear Your voice above the noise. Let confusion be taken away; let there be an ingathering mobilizing Your people for the next phase of Your program on earth, in Jesus’ name.
THE NATION
- “Oh, that You would rend the heavens and that You would come down, that the mountains might quake and flow down at Your presence — As when fire kindles the brushwood and the fire causes the waters to boil — to make Your name known to Your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Your presence!” Isa 64:1-2 AMP Lord, You taught us to pray, “Your will be done on earth as it is done in heaven”. Aligning ourselves with this Word, we invite Your move to displace and judge every form of evil so that righteousness may cover the face of the earth again and Your fear will be before the faces of all men.
- “And He will destroy on this mountain the surface of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.” Isa 25:7 NKJV We continue to invoke the blood of Jesus Christ over the tokens of every alliance made at the inception of Nigeria and every subsequent arrangement; watered and propelled by ungodly and unfair covenants, enchantments and divinations, schemes, designs and devices, aimed at keeping the nation down, in bondage and servitude and unable to rise to fulfill her destiny in You. Every such covering cast over Nigeria and its people, be totally destroyed in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We proclaim the reign of the Spirit of God over every region, sphere, and institution in Nigeria. By faith, we receive liberty in Christ Jesus, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
- “The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood, and the LORD sits as King forever. The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace.” Ps 29:10-11 NKJV Upon the ungodly foundations at the inception of Nigeria and all that was concocted in unrighteousness in the city of the Confluence, we plead again the blood of Jesus and call forth the fierce fire of God’s anger. Let God’s foes and adversaries be eaten up and consumed in their evil. We meet and overcome evil waters flowing into the nation that are programmed from source to project evil, oppression and an evil agenda to serve demonic interests through sorceries with the blood of Jesus. We command that they be immediately turned around into life-giving streams and continuous blessings upon the nation and its people by the transforming power of the blood of Jesus Christ.
- “The heavens will reveal his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him. The increase of his house will depart, and his goods will flow away in the day of His wrath. This is the portion from God for a wicked man, the heritage appointed to him by God." - Job 20:27-29 NKJV In this season of revelations of atrocities, iniquities and ungodliness committed against Your people and nation, we ask further that there will not only be more revelations but that beyond this, the course of justice will be served. We decree that it be impossible for these atrocities to be covered up as has been done hitherto. Lord, let these become sufficient grounds for Your intervention in Nigeria. Let everything stolen from this nation be gathered, recovered into the national coffers, let the thieves be unseated; and righteous, God-fearing, patriotic persons take their place; in Jesus’ name.
- “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” (Matt.6:10). We ask that You will beam Your light on any vacuum in the seat of power. We reject satanic options of violence, palace coup, and any substitution of a living child with a dead child. Lord, P-L-E-A-S-E, in mercy, intervene to reset Nigeria in accordance to Your will and purpose.
SPECIAL EMERGENCY PRAYERS
Ex 13.9 “…for with a strong hand has the Lord brought thee out…” O Lord, P-L-E-A-S-E, in mercy forgive all shortcomings and failings of Your children in Nigeria, even our disunity and self-centeredness. By a strong hand – which alone can defeat this evil conspiracy, bring the massacre, the genocide in Kaduna State to an end and bring divine justice upon the culprits, their sponsors, and supporters. Let the perpetrators not have cause to say that their god has overrun the Most High and His people. Glorify Your name, Lord. And P-L-E-A-S-E delay no more. “But I am poor and needy; make haste unto me, O God. Thou are my help and my Deliverer. O Lord, make no tarrying” (Psalm 70.5). Lord You said: “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise…I will set him in safety from him that puffs at him” (Psalm 12.5). Lord this is our ONLY hope. Even so, arise Lord…arise this week Lord, P-L-E-A-S-E arise now Lord. [[Please pray on this matter daily through the week]]
OTHER PRAYERS
1. Let every fraud, manipulation, and evil collusion in the management of the pandemic in Nigeria be exposed and the trauma brought on by this agenda, terminated.
2. Let killings in every part of Nigeria cease now in the name of Jesus Christ.
3. O God will embolden, burden and give voices to more people, particularly the men, to speak and expose evil, and take a stand for righteousness. Let aspersions and discouragement meted out to righteous voices fade away. O Lord, fully prepare the ground for the righteous foundation You are bringing to Nigeria.
4. Lord, please comfort all that mourn through senseless killings and abductions. We decree the release of all kidnapped and abducted people, Leah Sharibu any others like her. Let the kingpins and evil doers directly or indirectly behind these be rounded up. Let the evil business of kidnapping and abduction in Nigeria be crushed.
5. O God protect and preserve all who are involved in praying for the nation on this platform and all over the world, that no evil will come near us and no plague will come near our dwellings according to the Word of the Lord. Let Your glory be seen upon us.
DECLARATION OF HOPE: “And it will be said in that day: ‘Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.’ For on this mountain the hand of the LORD will rest, and He will spread out His hands in their midst as a swimmer reaches out to swim, and He will bring down their pride together with the trickery of their hands. The fortress of the high fort of your walls He will bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, down to the dust. Isa 25:9-12 NKJV Thank You Lord, as You bring this day and fulfill this good word in our lives, Your Church and Nigeria now, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen
