FOCUS:  Fulfillment of Prophecies concerning Nigeria – Emma Stark, February 2022

 “..what you are about to see in Nigeria is a whirlwind of God Who is going to discredit your political system. Within the next 10 months, the Lord says, your political leaders will be exposed and discredited. And the Lord says, He will discredit their morality; He will discredit their integrity; He will discredit their financial dealings; He will discredit their lifestyle choices; and He says watch as I bring a sustained humiliation to the system of leadership within this nation. And the Lord says, I will agitate, and convulse and shake and show My power; for I am going to bring them a chaos war where I whirlwind them out of their seats. But the Lord says you have 10 months…If I come with a discrediting Nahum Chapter one whirlwind, you must have dealt with Leviathan or Leviathan will take back the leadership of Nigeria; but you know it is seven times worse at that point”

PRAYERS

• Let us start by thanking God and praising Him for His agenda for our nation by election of grace. We did nothing to deserve it; it is purely of His grace. Let us acknowledge this and thank Him.
• Luk 8:17“For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known” Pray that no dark secret of the politicians, necessary for the liberation of the nation and the full manifestation of the new Nigeria shall escape exposure

PART 1: SPIRITUAL ROOTS

• God said in Nahum 3:4-6, that He is against the mistress of witchcrafts that sells nations through her whoredoms, and He will lift her skirts upon her face, show the nations her nakedness, the kingdoms her shame, cast abominable filth upon her, make her vile and set her as a gazing stock. And in Num. 14:28, God says ‘…..As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you’. So, speak into God’s ears, command above judgments to come upon ALL the various principalities and powers, that office holders in the present political system and intending ones in the years ahead, have covenanted with, for empowerment, to rule Nigeria by the power of the devil.
• God also said in Is. 25:7, that He will destroy the face of the covering cast over all people and the veil spread over the nation. Enforce this by commanding that every covering cast over Nigeria be broken
• Pray specifically for the press and civil society groups that every sorcery, bewitchment and covering cast be broken; so that as the politicians are exposed and humiliated, they shall publicize without fear
• Let us ask the LORD, speak into His ears, to come and do these things He promised regarding ALL covenants and pacts that have been made with principalities and powers of satanic kingdom, by the past and present political gladiators in the country and those aspiring to come into the next government. As a result, let ALL those involved be unable to remain in OR come into power.
• Various current and aspiring politicians have made costly blood and other sacrifices for spiritual empowerment to gain power. Nullify those sacrifices through which they established the covenants. Using Is.44:24-25 pray that their tokens be frustrated, their diviners be driven mad, the wisdom of their wise turn backward and their knowledge become foolish; thus let them be exposed and discredited
• Silence the voices and influences of their sacrifices, be it human blood or otherwise, by pleading the blood of Jesus, the SUPREME SACRIFICE that was made at Calvary (Heb. 9:14). By this silencing of these sacrifices, let those who have been sustained by them be so discredited that they no longer are able to sustain these persons to remain in power.
• Let’s shut down the PORTALS (ALTARS), where these terrible sacrifices are being made, by asking God on the basis of Is. 29:6 to visit them throughout the length and breadth of our nation, Nigeria or wherever they are, with His thunder, earthquake, great noise, storm, tempest and devouring fire.
• Let us thank God that we are already seeing some discrediting trickling, like the cloud tiny as a man’s hand, before the abundance. Undisputable evidence of drug dealings was recently released regarding a leading politician. Other strands of discredit have been flowing. Thank God for what He has started and pray for the fullness, the whirlwind that can blast out the old and bring in the new

PART 2: DIVERSE WINDS COMBINING UNTO A WHIRLWIND

• Whirlwinds blow when winds come from different directions. Pray for discrediting winds from different directions to combine into an unstoppable, irresistible whirlwind that will blow away the old order.
• Discredit by termination of satanic strengths: 3:6 “Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them”  Pray for discrediting by weakening, darkness and confusion
• Discredit by Exposure: Act 13:6  “...they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus” Let every operation of Leviathan in the Nigerian political space be exposed and “found.” Let all satanic power, false prophet and sorcerers, deceiving and derailing the political leaders be exposed; let both they and the politicians be discredited and be blasted out by God’s whirlwind
• Discredit by awakening of the populace: Luke 15:13 “...the younger son...took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.... he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country....And when he came to himself” Crowds give undue credence to counterproductive politicians. Pray for Nigerians especially the youth to come to themselves, dissociate from every strange, unprofitable, deceptive, “far country” leaders and citizens
• Discredit by failure of money: Gen 47:15  “And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph…” Let money fail all the politicians in Nigeria’s “land of Egypt” political landscape.
• Discredit by revival: Act 13:9  “Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, and said...thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness...” Let us pray that God’s people will be filled afresh with the Holy Spirit, recognize, and set their eyes on every “enemy of all righteousness”
• Discredit by boldness and discernment: Esther 3.2 “But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence…” & 1-Sam 16:6-7 “And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD'S anointed is before him. But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him...” David’s elder brothers were discredited and disqualified because Samuel had discernment and clarity of communication with God. The Church has repeatedly aided and enthroned evil rulers. Pray that God’s people, leaders and followers alike shall not bow to evil political leaders; and shall be discerning not to anoint them and give them undue credit
• Discredit by confusion: Gen 11:7-8 “Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them...” The leaders of Babel were holding sway in derailing the people and contradicting God’s plan until God confused their language. Let us pray that the Lord will discredit our political leaders via confusion of tongues
• Discredit by collapse of propaganda machinery: Exo 14:24 “...the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians...and troubled the host of the Egyptians...And took off their chariot wheels...” Pray that the propaganda machineries of the politicians that create a semblance of credibility shall all collapse.
• Discredit by Divine Intervention: Act 13:11  “And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand” Let us pray that the hand of God will come mightily upon the renegade and retrogressive politicians of Nigeria, blind, cripple and paralyze them that they take the back seat and be “seeking some to lead” instead of parading themselves as leaders and taking us backward
• Eze_37:9“Then said He unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds…” Prophesy, call forth the whirlwind that will “whirlwind them out of their seats”

PART 3: DEALING WITH LEVIATHAN

• Let us still thank God for the discrediting that is already unfolding; then thank God in faith for the whirlwind of discrediting will shortly burst forth to blast out the old and bring in new and better leaders

• Luk_10:19“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you” Every altar that opens the way for Leviathan to operate in Nigeria and influence politics, governance, the economy etc be broken; the priests be disrobed, repent and serve Jesus Christ in sincerity of heart or perish and disappear without replacement
• Job_41:1“Canst you draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which you let down?” Take authority over, bind and cast out every Leviathan spirit operating in Nigeria, influencing politics and governance in Nigeria. By the blood of Jesus Christ, nullify and overcome every altar and sacrifice unto Leviathan; decree a termination and permanent elimination of the influence of Leviathan
• Psa_74:14 “Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness” and Isa_27:1“In that day the LORD with His sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea” Decree and command: The head of Leviathan operating in Nigeria be broken completely; the flesh of Leviathan be cast out from the sea and dashed and wasted in the wilderness; this day by the “sore and great and strong sword” of the Lord, Leviathan influencing worship, our politics, governance, the economy etc be slain and crushed
• Eze_37:9“Then said He unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds…” Prophesy, call forth the whirlwind that will “whirlwind them out of their seats”
• And the Lord says, “I will agitate, and convulse and shake and show My power; for I am going to bring them a chaos war where I whirlwind them out of their seats” – The word of the Lord through Emma Stark. PRAY: Oh Lord, please now arise, shake, show Your unmistakable power as in the days of Elijah; that by Your mighty and righteous judgments, men may learn righteousness.

PART 4: DISCREDITING BY THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SUPERIOR

1Cor_13:10 “But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away”

• Superior Power: 1Sa 5:4-5“And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him. Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day” The Philistine god Dagon suffered discredit by the manifestation of the superior power of God. Pray that counterproductive Nigerian politicians will suffer discredit and rejection from manifestation of God’s power in Nigeria
• Superior Wisdom: Dan 6:3“Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm” One who came from a foreign land as slave got preferred over a mass of indigenes because of superior wisdom and an excellent spirit. Pray that counterproductive Nigerian politicians shall be discredited and relegated from the emergence of a new breed of people raised by God with superior wisdom and an excellent spirit
• Superior Spiritual Reality: Act 13:9“Then Saul....filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him [Elymas the deceptive sorcerer], and said.... wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? .... and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand....Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord”Please pray that God shall make manifest the falsehood of the spiritual leanings of the counterproductive politicians and the truth of the gospel of Christ and by this they shall be discredited among their followers and the public.
• Superior Solutions: Gen 41:16,37-40“And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace….And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art. Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou” Let us pray that God will raise a new breed of politicians and leaders who shall operate by the Spirit of God, disarm and discredit the counterproductive politicians via superior solutions to national challenges and the yearnings of Nigerians
• Superior Morality: 2Sa 17:23“And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father” Let us pray that God will raise a new breed of people whose conduct and standards will be so superior that the old counterproductive politicians will voluntarily leave the scene.
• Superior Resources: Ecc_9:15-16“Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man. Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard” Pray that God will grant grace that finances shall no longer limit the righteous and the evil ones shall no longer hold sway because of superior finances to buy TV, radio, media space etc
• O Lord, in mercy and grace, heal Nigeria, enthrone the righteous as stewards of a new Nigeria; let the second part of Pa S G Elton’s prophecy be fulfilled just as the first has been precisely fulfilled. We call forth the unfolding and rapid fullness of this new era when nations shall come to Nigeria to learn righteousness.
• Agents of darkness plotting evil schemes over Nigeria, be frustrated, terminated; let the peace of God beyond all understanding envelope Nigeria, even the fullness of a new era of peace and righteousness
