FOR THE PRESIDENT:

  • His wife to be the correct help for him not a Jezebel.
  • The fear of God, a tender and compassionate heart for the people.
  • Godly wisdom in his choice of cabinet members and staff; may they work in unity of spirit and purpose for the nation; in humility and fear of God.
  • May God raise helpers of destiny for him; all the Christians in his cabinet and staff around him to be sensitive and sharp; let his ears be open to Godly counsel; may he be delivered from spirit of error, confusion, pride and inflexibility.
  • Enabling grace, divine strength and boldness to effectively execute all his political programmes.
  • May God shield him from the influence and control of evil advisers and party stalwarts; and protect him from the control of spirits of witchcraft, sorcery and manipulation.

  • May the Spirit of God compel him to create the environment for the advancement of the Gospel.

THE MAIN OUTLINE OF THE INAUGURAL SPEECH  (Is 45:2-3)
           
                        INSECURITY

  • May violence, bloodshed, kidnappings, ritual killings and all forms of evil be stamped out of Nigeria.
  • Bind the spirit of brutality and lack of respect for human dignity through wanton killing and destruction of lives and properties.
  • Let the fear of God rule in the hearts of men and women in our security agencies; may all the bad eggs and perpetrators of wickedness be purged from our law enforcement agencies.

Decree the enduring peace of God upon the whole territory of Nigeria; in the hearts of men; in homes, that men will dwell in safety.

           CORRUPTION

  • In all arms of government: Executive, Legislative, Judiciary; corruption, bribery and misappropriation of funds (which has become endemic and entrenched in the psyche of the nation) will be stamped out.
  • Pray against every form economic sabotage; bind the wicked spirit of looting, stealing and syphoning of the wealth of Nigeria.
  • May all culprits and saboteurs who control certain aspects of our economy be exposed and brought to justice.
  • Let Christians begin to stand up for the truth and live the exemplary life of Jesus in every stratum of society; let all the ones who had been fearful or cowed now receive boldness to say NO to ungodliness and Yes to righteousness.
  • A revival and renewal of heart for our leaders and the entire populace. May there be an outpouring of the Spirit of God over Nigeria that we will witness a total transformation in the pervasive thinking of Nigerians; let the hearts of people hunger and thirst after righteousness.
  • May Nigeria and Nigerians not celebrate fools and mediocres as heroes or people of honour any longer.
  • Ask the Lord to create the spirit of dedication, hard work and excellence in the heart of every Nigerian from the baby in the cradle to the oldest citizen.

                      POWER/ENERGY

Thank God for abundant resources in Oil and Gas, Water, Sun, Bitumen and Coal that can be used to provide cheap and efficient power supply for the nation
Let us repent on behalf of the nation for the colossal amount of money that has been spent on this sector of economy yet without tangible change.

Let wisdom be received on behalf of the government for insight and solution for the power sector; beginning with:

  1.  The massive fraud, corruption and decadence in the Petroleum industry.
  2. The choice of Ministers in the sector, Board members of the NNPC, PHCN and other agencies and parastatals. 
  3. The revamping of the existing refineries and construction of new and efficient ones.
  4.  Restructuring, re-training of staff of the energy sector especially PHCN (Electricity company).
  5. Resolve and boldness to implement policies that are equitable and fair.
  6. Handling the transportation and distribution of petroleum products.
  7. The organised labour union in these sectors.
  • Let there be a thorough overhaul and lasting solution to the problems of the Energy problems in Nigeria, O Lord. 
  • Open the eyes and hearts of our leaders to the hidden treasures and  give them wisdom on how to manage them efficiently.

 UNEMPLOYMENT

  • Lord, forgive the selfishness of our leaders for paying only lip service and not thinking about the future of the country by not investing in the youth and young generation.
  • Give foresight, courage and willingness to the policy makers (both in government and private sectors) for new ways of engaging our youth in the creation of more jobs.
  • Raise up Godly leaders who will by examples of life motivate the hearts of our youth.
  • Let idleness, thuggery, get-rich mentality created by a wrong work ethics in our society be replaced by the restoration of the dignity of labour; break this mentality, O Lord.
  • Let there be contentment in the hearts of the people and a striving for excellence in whatever their hands find to do.
The Gospel is the only way to redeem a lost people; please shine the light of Your Good News over the whole of Nigeria and particularly in our youth who have been deemed a lost generation: Redeem your inheritance, O Lord.
