PRAYER POINTS
- ELIMINATING MAMMON SPIRIT: Php 3:18“For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.”Take authority over every mammon spirit operating in Nigeria, especially the Church. Bind it and cast it out; delete and reversal its influence as it blinds people , causing people to prioritize material gains; thus missing vital kingdom agenda
- UNDERSTANDING; WISDOM: 1Ch_12:32“And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do” Pray that God will give Nigerians, especially the Church, understanding of times and seasons, so we do not miss out on God’s moves to uplift and transform. Jas_1:5 “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, …and it shall be given him.”
- RECOGNITION OF & FELLOWSHIP WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT: Joh_16:13“Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth” Again, pray for God’s help that that believers in Nigeria will walk in close fellowship with the Holy Spirit, acknowledging Him, appreciating Him; so our paths are continually guided and we cannot miss God, or be ignorant of necessities for our peace.
- UNITY IN THE BODY OF CHRIST: Psm 133:1“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! ...for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore” and Amo_3:3 “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” Pray that God will unite our hearts on His will and suppress selfish ambitions and needless rivalries. Thus God Himself would delight in revealing to the Church in Nigeria things that would make for “life for evermore” including our peace
- HUMILTY: Jas_4:6“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resists the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble” right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Come against every spirit of pride and arrogance. Pray for humility in the Body of Christ so that God will cause grace to flow towards the Church, help us know what to do per time, and not miss or day nor the things that make for peace.
- REGULAR WORDS OF LIFE: Luke 19:41 “And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it” Jesus is recorded to have wept just twice: over Lazarus’ death and over the ignorance of Jerusalem and the resultant gloomy future of the city and its citizens (He may have wept at Gethsemane too; but we are only told of bloody sweat). PROCLAIM: Thank you, Lord. By your mercies, Your Church in Nigeria shall be victorious over ALL foes, we shall be faithful and righteous; nations shall come here to learn righteousness; God shall not have cause to weep over Nigeria or the Church in it; nor over me or my family. Proclaim and sustain proclamation of other words of life over self, family, the Church and Nigeria
- Pray other prayers for current national issues as your have observed or are burdened to pray. Pray also for the ongoing political transition process that there be no hijack, and the next leader shall be of God.
- SPECIAL PRAYER: (a) Lord have mercy on Leah Sharibu and all others abducted and still in the hands of their captors. Stretch forth Your hand and set free. (b) Defend Your children from Jihad in S/Kaduna, Jos and other Christian territories (c.) Have mercy on IDPs and enable them return to their homes.
