Extra Background Information
We pray over each week to bring the week into alignment with God's word and purpose. We want each season to be, in Nigeria, what God intended it to be. Creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:20-23).
*THE 11TH WEEK OF NIGERIA'S YEAR, COUNTING F|ROM OCT-1, 2021*
The 11th season is the gate of the master-stroke. Unprecedented things happen in the 11th season. It is strike-time for both heaven and hell; and they deal deadly blows in this season. This is when Satan does his worst and God does His best. The 11th book and 11th chapters of the Bible bear witness to this:
In Genesis 11, God scattered the builders of the Tower of Babel. In Exodus 11, God pulled the last plague that ended Israel's bondage to Egyptians. In Numbers 11, God gave Israel both Manna and Quails and also gave the Spirit to 70 elders to bear the burden of the congregation with Moses. God also sent a very great plague on the people for complaining and murmuring. In Acts 11, Agabus gave a prophecy about famine that would engulf the entire world. The church acted promptly and sent relief to the brethren at Jerusalem. God is a provider in the 11th season. In Joshua 11, Israel finally subdued the Canaanites with the defeat of Jabin (king of Hazor) and his northern allies. Jephthah defeated and subdued the Ammonites in Judges 11.
Saul also defeated the Ammonites in First Kings 11. David became king and defeated the Jebusites in First Chronicles 11. In the 11th book of the Bible, Israel touched the peak in prosperity; God's temple was built; but God also divided Israel because of the errors of Solomon. God also struck Jeroboam, Baasha, the man of God from Judah, and Ahab for their rebellious ways. The ministry of Elijah in the 11th book of the Bible was a divine master-stroke - even in the way He provided for him and the widow of Zarephat. Athaliah, the daughter of Jezebel was deposed and killed in Second Kings 11. In John 11, Jesus dealt the master-stroke against death by raising Lazarus from the dead, 4 days after burial!.
In Revelation 11, John had a vision of the ministry of the Two Witnesses. In that chapter, also, John saw the ultimate triumph. Revelation 11:15 says, “The kingdoms f of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”
*THE WITNESS OF MODERN HISTORY?*
Military rule ended in Nigeria in the season of the 11th National Leader. Goodluck Jonathan became elected President in 2011. Both Osama bin Laden and Muamnar Ghadaffi were perished in 2011, the 11th year of the 21st century. During the tenure of the 11th US President, John Polk, America’s territory grew by more than one-third and extended across the continent for the first time.
Nigeria will be in her 11th seven years from October 2030 - September 2037. What the Bible reveals about the 11th will apply.
*THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS FIGHTS DIRTY IN THE 11th SEASON TO KILL, STEAL, AND DESTROY.*
Jephthah's rash vow is recorded in Judges 11. David's affair with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah is recorded in Second Samuel 11. It is First Kings 11 that tells us how Solomon loved many strange women and drifted from God. In Second Chronicles 11, Rehoboam also multiplied wives for himself and his sons.
Babylonians subdued Judah and destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in the 11th year of Zedekiah, king of Judah.In Matthew 11, John the Baptist was in prison and had doubts about the person and ministry of Jesus.
On December 10, 2005, in the 11th week of Nigeria’s 46th year, the Sosoliso Airline plane crash happened in Port Harcourt. On December 15, 2012, Former Governor of Kaduna State, Patrick Yakowa and former National Security Adviser to the President, General Owoeye Azazi, and two others died in a Helicopter Crash in Nembe Local Government of Bayelsa State. Zachary Taylor, the 12th President of the United States died in office on July 9, 1850, in the 4th year of the 11th seven years cycle of the United States.
*THE 50TH WEEK OF 2021, COUNTING FROM JA-1, 2021*
The 50th week of 2021 is Jubilee week. The 50th is called Jubilee because God intends it to be a season of jubilation (Leviticus 25: 8-17). In the evil Calendar, the 50th is a season to cause tears and mourning. In Genesis 50, Jacob was embalmed, buried, and mourned. The death of Joseph is also recorded in this chapter. The chapter ends with placing the bones of Joseph "in a coffin in Egypt". God named the 50th Jubilee because He wants His people to bar sorrow and the spirit of heaviness with joy. The 50th book of the Bible is Philippians; and in this book, Paul calls believers to rejoice in the Lord always. In this book, also, Paul said Epaphroditus "...was sick almost unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow" (Philippians 2:27). He also spoke of the choice to live or die for himself. If we rejoice in the Lord, in Jubilee, death will have no room. President Yar'Adua died in the 50th year of Nigeria. America lost two former presidents, the second and the third, on 4th of July 1826 - the 50th Independence Anniversary. The kingdom of darkness calls the 59th a season of mourning but we call it a season of joy and rejoicing.
In the 50th season, God causes jubilation by stopping calamity, saving the distressed, and judging the wicked.
*PRAYER POINTS FOR THE 50TH WEEK*
*C. THE PROMISES* :
Jeremiah 50:20:
"In those days and in that time," says the LORD, "The iniquity of Israel (Nigeria) shall be sought, but there shall be none; And the sins of Judah (Nigeria), but they shall not be found; For I will pardon those whom I preserve".
Proverbs 11:21
Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished; But the posterity of the righteous will be delivered.
