PRAYER POINTS FOR THE 24/7 PRAYER CHAIN FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST & NIGERIA, Apr 4 - 10, 2021
- THANK GOD for all His love, for His mercies, and for the huge sacrifice of Jesus Christ that has brought us hope, for we “were without Christ…aliens…and strangers…having no hope, and without God in the world”- Eph 2.12
- REPENTANCE: Repent unto the Lord as you are stirred in your heart for self, the Church and the nation
PREAMBLE
1Cor_2:8 “Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was Satan’s perceived final nail on the coffin of God’s agenda for mankind. And, indeed, Israelites erred badly in aiding and abetting the crucifixion. Yet, it has become the greatest thing that has happened to humanity and the deadliest blow Satan has suffered
PRAYER POINTS
- Just as the Pharisees of Israel ignorantly, selfishly championed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and not the Roman enemies of Israel, we have today championed causes that aided and abetted the clever schemes of our enemies and led us to the travails we suffer today as a nation. Lord, we are terribly S-O-R-R-Y. PLEASE DEEPLY AND SPECIALLY REPENT
- Pray that God will consider the great sacrifice of Jesus Christ at Calvary and have mercy upon us; have mercy upon the Church in Nigeria, despite our faults, failings and terrible mistakes
- Job 5:12 “He disappoints the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.” Pray that God will completely disappoint and disgrace the cleverest schemes and devices of enemies of the gospel, the Church and the Lord in Nigeria, their mercenaries and collaborators
- Job 5:13 “He takes the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them” Let God, cause all the crafty and devious schemes of the enemies of the gospel to backfire, be their greatest undoing FOREVER, and be irreversible just as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ has sealed the devil’s defeat.
- Job 5:14 “They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.” Decree confusion, division, loss of direction and cohesion in the camp of the enemy with similar results as in the Tower of Babel
- Job 5:15-16 “But he saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stops her mouth” Pray that God will: (a) save the poor and the meek believers of Nigeria from the sword, mouth, and from the hand of the mighty (b) give fresh hope to the poor in IDP camps, those whose farming occupations are hindered by marauding herdsmen and their backers in and outside Nigeria (c) stop the mouth of iniquity in Kwara State hijab crises, in Kaduna, in Abuja, in Sambisa Forest, all over Nigeria, in the Middle East and elsewhere
- Job 5:11 “To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.” Pray that God will elevate the oppressed, the meek, and exalt the repentant to safety. Let the righteous rule again; this time with much greater wisdom and submission to God
- Pray that God will have mercy, look upon the Passover blood of Jesus Christ shed for us, and give Leah Sharibu, all kidnapped innocent persons, and the Church in Nigeria a decisive Passover experience. Let His resurrection power revive and reposition the Church and the nation.
