God's Precious One,
It has been reported that at a prayer gathering of some servants of God, Pstr E A Adeboye was lying face down and praying softly for a very long time. Anther younger minister, curious to know the sort of matters that engage Pstr Adeboye crawled near him to eavesdrop on his conversation with the Lord. All that he heard him praying for as long as he lay there was "Please Lord, show mercy....Have mercy...etc". Men and brethren, if we secure God's mercy in this critical season of our lives, of the Church and Nigeria, we are made! Let us take a liittle moment again for yet another week to cry for mercy.
Have a fruitful, joyful and peaceful week ahead...with trans-generationally impactful praying.

PRAYER POINTS FOR THE 24x7 PRAYER CHAIN FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST & NIGERIA, Jan 22-28, 2023
THANKSGIVING & WORSHIP: Psm_103:2 “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits” God has been so good, able and dependable. God has kept us another whole year…and also seen us through unprecedented political divisions and challenges as a nation. Praise God for all He has done for you, your family, the Church and Nigeria through 2022….& for yet greater things He is set to do in 2023.
REPENTANCE: Ask God for mercy and forgiveness for all of your sins, your family’s, the Church and Nigeria; pray for grace to turn and live in obedience; that our land may be healed (2 Chron. 7.14). Also repent for the contributions of Christians to the woes of believers and of Nigeria by ignoring prophetic warnings.
FOCUS: MERCY FOR PEACE, PROGRESS AND GOOD SUCCESS IN 2023 – Part 3
PRAYER POINTS
- THE BLOOD FOR MERCY: Lev_16:14“And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times” They of old had to sprinkle the blood 7 times to perfect the flow of mercy; today we have same by the blood of Jesus Christ shed “once for all” (Heb 10.10). Plead the blood of Jesus Christ upon your self, family, the Church and Nigeria; and pray that God will look upon the blood and have mercy.
- ADEQUATE PRAYERS TO SECURE MERCY: Lev_16:13“And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not” It takes some quantum (volume) and quality of praise and prayers to stir adequate mercy [“that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy”] to avert death or disaster. Pray that the Spirit of God will work in believers to will and to do to God’s pleasure; and raise the right volume of acceptable prayers to avert disaster in this critical season of our nation.
- OBEDIENCE FOR MAXIMUM MERCY: Deu_7:12“Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy…” A day with God is like a thousand years. Just 3 days of repentance and fasting averted destruction for Nineveh. Pray that God will stir the hearts of Nigerians in general but especially His children to obey like never before, provoking mercy of God that will avert disaster in Nigeria and trigger a beneficial national transition.
- RESTITUTION FOR MAXIMUM MERCY: Deu_13:17 “…cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of His anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee” Pray that God will touch as many as can make restitution in any respect to do so and stay faithful thereafter “that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of His anger, and shew…mercy” unto us and unto Nigeria
- OVERRIDING MERCY: 2Sa 7:14-15“I will be his father, and he shall be My son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men. But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul” The situation in Nigeria especially for believers is so critical that we simply cannot take any chances in 2023. Perhaps there be some iniquity of which God has been sore aggrieved with His children in Nigeria, let us plead with God to show mercy not to take it away at this critical time and to deliver the Church and Nigeria.
- SPIRITUAL & SOCIO-ECONOMIC REVIVAL BY MERCY: Hab_3:2“O LORD, revive Thy work,…in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy” The Church especially in the North has been battered; many in Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps; many whole communities sacked or even taken over. Socio-economically, Nigeria has been plundered and mismanaged to near death. Breakup and divisive pressures have been widespread. Pray that the Lord in mercy would breathe on Nigeria afresh and trigger needed spiritual and socio-economic rebirth. Pray for mercy in any other respects you are stirred.
- Pray other prayers for current national issues as you 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. Please 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.
