PRAYER POINTS FOR THE 24/7 PRAYER CHAIN FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST & NIGERIA, Nov 7 - 13, 2021
THANKSGIVING: Sing praises to God. Sing praises. Sing praises to our King. For the Lord is the King of all the earth. Sing to God a song of praise... Psalm 47.6-7
Let's bless the Lord for: the Gift of life, health, sound mind, the gift of Salvation, the blessing and privilege of relationship as God's sons and daughters - Bona fide members of God's family, confirmed citizens of God's Kingdom.
"Cast down but not destroyed.." – 2 Cor 4.9 Let's worship the Lord for despite great afflictions and anguish on the Church in Nigeria, the Church still stands. The gates of Hell have not and CANNOT prevail against the Church. Our national troubles and insecurities are causing more and more persons, believers and non believers alike to arrive at conclusion that SECURITY IS strictly the Lord's: "Except the Lord watch over a city, the watchmen watch in vain." – Psalm 127.1
REPENTANCE: Repent for all sins of you and your family, the Church and Nigeria; pray for grace to do better and to "turn from...wicked ways" that our land may be healed (2 Chron 7.14). Whatever we did as the Church or Nation to deserve the disastrous conditions we have today, let God have mercy. Lord, we are sorry. Your mercy, oh Lord on our Land, our Nation! Hear the cry of your people in Nigeria, oh Lord.
PRAYER POINTS:
Rev 12.11 “And they overcame by the blood…”: We invoke Blood versus blood. We make demands on the Blood of Jesus against the blood of animals and of the innocent, shed in Nigeria to cling unto power and keep the Nation under perpetual bondage. We decree termination of bloodshed and evil rule.
Psalm 22: 27, 28 Oh Lord, please become our Leader in a Nation that appears to have no leader.
Take Your place. Step into the Land as the Governor General of Nigeria, oh Lord. Ezekiel 22:39.
Isaiah 26.9: “…when Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness” Arise, Father, in righteous judgment, slay every wicked man and woman sponsoring, supporting, masterminding and advocating evil and bloodshed in the Land.
Isaiah 2:1, 2. Let the Church, God's mountain, arise, awake/and take position again in Nigeria. Lord, please heal, unite and clothe Your Church with power and holiness.
Isaiah 8.9-10: We silence every voice calling for blood or war. All secret moves, seen or unknown, we command to be totally thwarted and frustrated, because God is for us. All sponsors and suppliers of ammunitions, we decree heavy confusion among themselves, let them turn on one another and finish off themselves. We arrest the killings in the Eastern part of the Nation.
Pray that the Anambra State election results will be the true verdict of the people; and there will be no subsequent hijack. Pray that, as God raised William Wilberforce and other Christians to end slavery, God will raise all necessary voices and sound minds to bring about all restructuring and constitutional changes to perfect democracy and stability in Anambra State and nationwide.
