PRAYER POINTS FOR THE 24/7 PRAYER CHAIN FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST & NIGERIA, Nov 14 - 20, 2021
THANKSGIVING: Psalm_104:1 “Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honour and majesty.” Give God thanks and praise for His great goodness, love, and power towards us, towards the Church, and unto Nigeria by which alone we still exist and are advancing
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). Thank Him for the forgiveness He has granted us and pray for a new era of sustained righteousness in your life, family, the Church and the nation
FOCUS OF THE WEEK: Appreciation for the Anambra State elections: not for the victory of anyone but that the elections held, without much record of violence or bloodshed, has been reasonably credible, and hell did not break loose in a state where so called “unknown gunmen have been rampaging so badly” that the nation’s Attorney General mooted the possibility of imposing a State of Emergency. That could have been the beginning of the collapse of democracy and onset of unconstitutional governance and “next level” oppression. God gave Israel victory over Egypt at the Red Sea, a whole chapter of the Bible went to praising God; He gave Hannah answer to prayer, and almost a whole chapter of the Bible recorded her praise and appreciation. These things are an example to us. Beyond the few prayer points below, praise God lavishly.
PRAYER POINTS:
Exo 15:1-2 “Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.” Bless the name of the Lord for thwarting the devices of wicked ones
Exo 15:11 “Who is like unto Thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? “ Sing unto the Lord the song of worship drawn from this verse.
Exo 15:2-4 “The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation.... The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name. Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.” Thank God that all devices of the wicked ones, all evil plots to cause chaos and anarchy in the state failed, peace and joy have triumphed
Exo 15:5 “The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.” Pray that those who have failed will sink in Anambra and all over Nigeria and NEVER recover, never gain any inch of territory again in Nigeria, except they be purge of their evil ways and schemes
Exo 15:13,18 “Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.. The LORD shall reign forever and ever” Pray that the Most High will lead the Church and Nigeria from this point on
