1. Thank the Lord for our 21 Days Prayer and Fasting Program for this nation, Nigeria. Thank Him for what He has determined to do in Nigeria,
and for guiding us to align ourselves with His divine purpose. Thank Him also for the divine resistance He has put in place in this nation through the years, against men, institutions, organizations and societies that have tried to sway Nigeria away from God’s plan and pull the nation from under the influence of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Yet now the Lord resists them, and they will never succeed. Psalms 2:2-4 - The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed…He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
2. Pray for Christians in government in this nation; declare that they are bold and courageous to remain uncompromisingly righteous in spite of pressure to conform, an that their integrity will bring them glory. Pray that they would use their positions and authority to favour God’s righteous cause, help the church and foster the spread of the gospel in our Nation. Esther 4:13–14 MSG: “Don’t think that just because you live in the king’s house you’re the one Jew who will get out of this alive. If you persist in staying silent at a time like this, help and deliverance will arrive for the Jews from someplace else; but you and your family will be wiped out. Who knows? Maybe you were made queen for just such a time as this.”
3. Pray for teachers in nursery and primary schools all over Nigeria; that they will transmit knowledge with love and purpose, exercising patience and kindness in teaching the children and setting for them a good educational foundation. Come against the influence of satan in our schools, and declare that true Christian teachers are taking advantage of their presence in these schools to boldly spread the influence of Christ to future generations, sowing seeds of the gospel into the children in their care. 2Timothy 3:15 – And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
4. Declare that the government at all levels in this nation are only permitted to enact laws that foster peace and a conductive atmosphere for the preaching of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in their respective areas of jurisdiction, and any intended obnoxious laws will not see the light of day. Numbers 23:23 - Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel:
5. Pray for the lost and unsaved in our country, declaring open channels for the gospel to reach and impact them, through missionary activities, the internet, our ministry materials in all available formats, television ministry etc. Declare that every resistance is broken, they receive the truth with understanding, and embrace the Word of God for their salvation. 2Corinthians 4:3-4 – But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
6. Pray for Nigeria, and for the city and state where you live, work or do business. Declare that the good of the land is yours; the government of the day is functioning for your good; the laws and policies favour you and as you have sown the seeds of the gospel there you are reaping the good of the land. Jeremiah 29:7 - And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
