Prayer For Nigeria
Pray for wisdom in the utilization of the nations resources especially the oil. Let us pray that every corruption, injustice and wickedness in high places be brought down and totally destroyed in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. God declares in Proverbs 11:1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
God will bless and protect all the believers from every attack of the enemy in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. Let us pray Isaiah 54:17 that No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before the killing and suffering in Nigeria ends? How many more of our brothers and sisters will lose their lives for the sake of Your great name?
Father, may their witness be vibrant, as a lamp set on a hill. May their lives and actions demonstrate Your goodness. Give them hearts for reconciliation and forgiveness instead of revenge.
Heal the broken-hearted. Comfort the mourning. Bind up the wounded. Be a father to the fatherless.
Let our brothers and sisters know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge, that they may be filled with all the fullness of You. May they be rooted and established in Your love.
Oh Lord, empower those who minister in the most difficult areas with new strength. Refresh their spirits and fill their cups to overflowing. May the Gospel of Your peace that they share bring peace to this place of turmoil.
As You are able to soften the hardest of hearts, work in the hearts of every Islamist leader and fighter in northern Nigeria. Impress them with Your love so that they, too, will long to know You and serve Your Son.
May Your kingdom come in Nigeria. Amen.
Praise God that a well-known witch doctor, almost dying because of an infection in his jaw, gave his life to Christ and was healed. He is a walking miracle! Now he, his wives and his children and grandchildren are all walking with the Lord and, according to his pastor, they are the strongest believers in his church. Pray for more believers and more such miracles among the Fulani.
Give thanks to God that another church has been born in South West Nigeria where before there was none. The church meets in an open space under a tree and is made up of people who were involved in a Bible listening group facilitated by the Bible Society of Nigeria. They gave their lives to Christ after watching the Jesus film and began listening to the audio Bible. New listening groups are being set up all over the country as people respond to Jesus. Pray for this growing work in Nigeria, that even more people would see the Jesus film and listen to God's Word. Ask that God would strengthen new churches.
