PRAYING OVER THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 3RD - 9TH (THE 10TH WEEK OF NIGERIA'S 62ND YEAR AND THE 49TH WEEK OF 2021)*
*A. PROLOGUE:*
*THE 10TH WEEK OF NIGERIA'S YEAR*
The 10th book and 10th chapters of the Bible reveal that the 10th season is for cutting off the wicked and wickedness from the land and for answering the prayer of the humble. The 10th season is for deliverance from enemies through the power of God. It is a time of intense battles, a time to pray great prayers; and a time of great triumphs. Gen. Sani Abacha was Nigeria's 10th National Leader.
The 10th book of the Bible, Second Samuel, opens with the fall of King Saul and his house,. In this book, God destroyed the enemies of David and made him king of all Israel. He subdued the enemies of Israel in this book. Noah was the tenth from Adam. Wicked humanity perished in his days and he was saved from the flood. Genesis 10 is about the genealogy of the sons of Noah.
God gives power to the righteous in the tenth season. Exodus 10 was Moses' last encounter with Pharaoh before the Passover. The battle line was drawn in this chapter following the plagues of locust and darkness. In Numbers 10, God told Moses to make trumpets for war and for advance. Numbers 10: 9 says, "When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies". In Joshua 10, the sun and the moon stood still in answer to Joshua's prayer and God fought for Israel with hailstones against the enemy. In Second Samuel 10, David defeated Syrians and Ammonites. In Second Kings 10, Jehu destroyed the sons of Ahab and the worshippers of Baal. Jehu died here also because of his ungodly ways. First Chronicles 10 is about the tragic end of Saul and his sons. In Second Chronicles 10, ten tribes of Israel revolted against the house of David because of the apostasy of Solomon. In Esther 10, Mordecai was rid of all enemies and opposition and prospered. Psalm 10 is a cry to God against the wicked and the oppressor. In Daniel 10, God answered Daniel's prayer and despatced Angel Michael to fight the prince of Persia for Daniel's sake.. In the 10th chapters of Matthew and Luke, Jesus sent His followers to invade the kingdom of darkness with the power of God and release those oppressed by the devil. They returned with testimonies. In Acts 10, an sngel told Cornelius his prayers had been answered and connected him with Simon Peter. The Holy Spirit of God invaded the house of Cornelius and settled him. This week, the power of God will invade Nigeria to uproot wickedness.
THE 49TH WEEK OF 2021
The 49th week of the year is the week before the Jubilee week of the year. The 49th week is a Sabbath-week. God wants it to be a blessed week of rest but the enemy wants it to be a week unrest and distress. As spiritual gatekeepers, we must align with God to secure the gate of this week. The 49th book and 49th chapters of the Bible reveal that the 49th season is a season of redemption. God is a Redeemer and Restorer in the 49th season. He redeems from bondage, death, and destruction in this season. When a 49th season is unmanned, death and destruction hold sway. The spirit of death was unleashed through Boko Haram in the 49th year of Nigeria's independence.
Jacob died in Genesis 49 after prophesying over his sons. Psalm 49 says that no man has power to redeem his brother from death. Isaiah 49 reveals God as Redeemer of Israel. Isaiah 49:8 says, "Thus says the LORD: "In an acceptable time I have heard You, And in the day of salvation I have helped You; I will preserve You and give You As a covenant to the people, To restore the earth, To cause them to inherit the desolate heritages". Jeremiah 49 is prophecy of judgment against the enemies of Israel. Until enemies are subdued, redemption cannot be effected.
