PRAYER POINTS FOR THE 24x7 PRAYER CHAIN FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST & NIGERIA, Jan 29 - Feb 4, 2023
THANKSGIVING & WORSHIP: Rev_11:15 “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and He shall reign forever and ever” It’s a new season for Nigeria and Nigerians – including you and I, and our families. Raise a glad sound in faith. Join the heavenly throng in faith to raise a glad sound over Nigeria and the Body of Christ. 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: Thy Kingdom Come; Thy Will Be Done
PRAYER POINTS
Please sing each verse of the hymn below and pray after each verse for the Church and the nation – and where appropriate, yourself and your family too – according to the words of that verse. If you do not know the tune and wish to, search in YouTube or your browser with the first line of the hymn. The words/lyrics of original hymn have been modified slightly to replace lamentations with affirmations and proclamations.
- Thy Kingdom Come, O God!
Thy Rule, O Christ Begin!
Break With Thine Iron Rod
The Tyrannies Of Sin!
- Now be Thy Reign Of Peace,
And Purity And Love
Now let All Hatred Cease,
As In The Realms Above - Now Come The Promised Time
That War Shall Be No More,
Oppression, Lust, And Crime
All Flee Thy Face Before
- We Pray Thee, Lord, Arise,
And Come In Thy Great Might;
Revive Our Longing Eyes,
Which Languish For Thy Sight. -
Men Scorn Thy Sacred Name,
And Wolves Devour Thy Fold;
By Many Deeds Of Shame
We Learn That Love Grows Cold. -
O’er this Land near and Afar
Thick Darkness Broodeth Yet:
Arise, O Morning Star,
Arise, And Never Set!
