“And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot, and the face thereof is toward the north.
Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.”
Jeremiah 1:13-14 KJV
Beloveds, this ancient warning may well have been written for Nigeria, given that the northern part of our beloved nation has been overrun by all manner of marauders as we speak!!
We have no option but to cry to the Mighty God for help and pray that this Word does not come to pass over our land!! We can see the seething pot boiling in the North, ready to boil over, we urgently need to ask the Lord to restrain His anger, forgive us our sins and quench this seething pot of blood boiling in the northern parts of Nigeria. If we fail to act now, God forbid that it will overflow and consume the whole nation.
Prayer points –
?REPENTANCE –
We shall simply use the words of Daniel with which he implored the merciful God and God heard him and Israel was delivered from 70 years of Babylonian bondage immediately…
??“O Lord, great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him, and with those who keep His commandments, we have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments. “O Lord, to us belongs shame of face, to our kings, our princes, and our fathers (and political leaders), because we have sinned against You. To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him. “O Lord, according to all Your righteousness, I pray, let Your anger and Your fury be turned away from (Nigeria??),…. because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers (and leaders), (Nigeria and Nigerians) are a reproach to all those around us.
Now, therefore, our God, hear the prayer of (we) Your (Nigerian Children), and (our) supplications, and for the Lord’s sake cause Your face to shine on (our nation Nigeria??), which is desolate. O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations, and the (nation Nigeria)… for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies. O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my God, for (our nation Nigeria and for the sake of) Your people are called by Your name.”
Daniel 9:4-5, 8-9, 16-19 NKJV
….in Jesus Name. Amen.
?SUPPLICATION
Desperate times demand desperate measures. Our God, YAHWEH, is a Man of War, and this is the time we need God to open His heavenly armory and bring out some special weapons of war for us, release them into Nigeria and fight along with our security forces…
?”The Lord has opened His armory, And has brought out the weapons of His indignation; For this is the work of the Lord God of hosts In the land of the Chaldeans.”
Jeremiah 50:25 NKJV
Some of these weapons of war were shown to the Prophet, Zechariah – four sets of special warrior Angels with horses and chariots who are dispatched to fight and enforce peace in a nation. We will note that two of the chariots were sent to the northern part of the country, one to the south and one was to patrol the whole land.
It was reported that in the end, the two chariots sent to the north were powerful enough to quench the Prophet’s anxiety over what was happening in the North.
All we need to do is declare this Scripture over our nation.?? and ask God to release the Angel charioteers into Nigeria, in Jesus Name. When we declare the Word of God, we are told Angels will hear them and be stimulated into action…
“Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word.”
Psalms 103:20 NKJV
Let’s go then and declare aloud to their hearing…
?”Then I turned and raised my eyes and looked, and behold, four chariots were coming from between two mountains, and the mountains were mountains of bronze.
With the first chariot were red horses, with the second chariot black horses, with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot dappled horses—strong steeds.
Then I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my Lord?” And the angel answered and said to me, “These are four spirits of heaven, who go out from their station before the Lord of all the earth.
The one with the black horses is going to the north country, the white are going after them, and the dappled are going toward the south country.”
Then the strong steeds went out, eager to go, that they might walk to and fro throughout the earth.
And He said, “Go, walk to and fro throughout the earth.” So they walked to and fro throughout the earth.
And He called to me, and spoke to me, saying, “See, those who go toward the north country have given rest to My Spirit in the north country.”
Zechariah 6:1-8 NKJV
?O God arise for our help and release these Your chariot warriors into our nation Nigeria, in Jesus Name!! Amen and Amen.
Thank You, God????
Then let’s spend time praising Him in song afterward, knowing He has heard us???????
[5:21 AM, 3/26/2020] Ny: Now that the elections are over and new leaders have emerged, we need to pray for them all, both old and new ones, as they begin the process of setting up their cabinets. They need the input of the all-knowing God in this crucial exercise and we can be part of that by praying for them.
Hear what David said…
?Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight?
Psalms 101:6-7 KJV
That is just the perfect and Godly mind-set for choosing the right people into any cabinet position!
The truth is that God must have prepared and trained the correct people to work with our leaders but they have to be PRAYED INTO THOSE POSITIONS so that the devil will not position his own undesirable choices around our leaders! The nation cannot run well when we have round pegs in square holes!!
Though we cannot physically be part of that crucial exercise of setting up the various government cabinets, we can ask God to influence those decisions by His Holy Spirit, so that they will be beneficial to us all.
Hear what God said our leaders should be to us ??
?For he is the minister of God to thee for good….a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil?
Romans 13:4 KJV
They can only be all that to us if they have the right people working with them, so let us pray the desire of God into our government cabinets, shall we??
? Almighty God, we thank You for taking the nation Nigeria?? through another round of general elections. Forgive us for all the ways we have displeased You with our conduct during the elections. In Your mercy overlook our wickedness and grant us Your grace as You move the nation forward, in Jesus Name.
?Father of Light, Ruler of the nations, King of the universe, the great God who does only perfect things, we are now asking you to perfect our government set-up at all levels by directing our elected leaders to choose those whom You have PREPARED and TRAINED to work with them, as this is the only way they can succeed and minister good leadership to us.
? Most especially the Presidency, the state Governments, the NASS, the state assemblies and the local governments, Lord, guide them in the process of making their choices always and grant them Your own DIVINE KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING and WISDOM to navigate the vehicle of the nation with Your DIVINE ENABLEMENT so Nigeria?? can move into her place of PEACE and PROSPERITY, in Jesus Name.
And, Lord, protect them and their families as they do Your will, in Jesus Name.
Amen and Amen!!??
God bless Nigeria!!????
