God’s Promises
Zechariah 4:6 (NKJV)
So he answered and said
to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:
‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.
‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.
Isaiah 60:22 (NKJV)
“A little one shall
become a thousand, And a small one a strong nation.
I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”
I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”

Prayer for Ourselves
Ephesians 2:4-9 “But God,
who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even
when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace
you have been saved), and raised us up together, and
made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ
Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His
grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For
by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it
is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should
boast.”
- Let us thank the Lord for His rich mercy and
great love for us – a love that is limitless, boundless and endless.
- Let us thank Him for the exceeding riches of His grace
and His kindness that included us in His death, burial and resurrection,
that we can delivered from the dominion of darkness and be free to live in
Him.
Philippians 3:9 “And be found in Him, not having my own
righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in
Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.”
- Let us declare to Him that we are seeking Him through
the righteousness of faith; we have no righteousness of our own, we have
nothing to boast of.
- Galatians 6:14 – God forbid that I would boast except
in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ by whom the world has been crucified
to me and I to the world.
- Galatians 6:16 - Lord, let Your peace and mercy be upon
me as I walk according to the rule, the principles of the new creation in
the name of Jesus.
We Need the Blood
Hebrews 12:24 - We have come “…to the Jesus, the
mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better
things than that of Abel.”
Ephesians 2:13 – “But
now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the
blood of Christ.”
Hebrews 9:14 – “…how
much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered
Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works
to serve the living God?”
- Lord, we come to You by the way of the blood. We draw
near in fill assurance of faith. We come under the blood of sprinkling –
the only means by which I can have fellowship with You.
- Lord, I thank for the blood of Jesus that:
- Brings us near.
- Gives us confidence to enter the throne of grace.
- Speaks mercy on our behalf.
- Cleanses my conscience from dead works to serve the
living God.
- The blood that makes it possible for us stand before
God to make intercessions while He brings us to perfection in Him.
- Lord, please look at the blood of Jesus shed at Calvary
as we pray for the nation of Nigeria.
God is of Purer Eyes
- Habakkuk 1:13 – “You are of purer eyes
than to behold evil, and cannot look on wickedness.”
- Amos 9:8a “Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are on
the sinful kingdom, And I will destroy it from the face of the
earth…”
- 1 John 1:5 – “This is the message which we have heard
from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him there is no
darkness at all.”
- Colossians 3:6 – “… the wrath of God is coming upon the
sons of disobedience.”
- His eyes do not behold sin, yet the very people in
Nigeria that we are lifting up before the Lord to see, are sinful men.
- We thank God that the blood of Jesus speaks better
things that the blood of Abel.
What is the Blood
of Jesus Saying?
“Father, forgive them,
for they do not know what they do.”
Prayer for MERCY
- Let us repent on behalf of the nation of Nigeria as we
stand in the gap.
- Lord, we have sinned against You. Please forgive us our
sins because You are faithful. Please cleanse us from all unrighteousness
– 1 John 1:9.
- Plead for us, O Lord. You are our Advocate with the
Father. You are the propitiation for the sins of the whole world,
including all the sins of Nigeria – 1 John 2:1-2.
- Lord, please have mercy on every soul in the nation of
Nigeria. Forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.
- Have mercy according to Your lovingkindness;
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies. Please blot out our
transgressions – Psalm 51:1.
- Let Your blood speak mercy for the nation of
Nigeria.
- Let Your blood speak forgiveness for the wickedness of
the leaders who have wasted the nation's natural resources, and brought
poverty upon the people. Instead they pursue personal gain.
- Let your blood speak for all those who have blatantly
stolen from the national funds, who have killed those who seek to do good.
- Let Your blood speak for all those who worship other
gods, and carry idols in their hearts despite Your sacrifice on the cross.
- Let Your blood speak for false preachers, who have
brought another gospel upon the people, wolves in sheep clothing.
- Let Your blood speak for Churches that are worldly,
churches that serve mammon and not God and teach people to clamour for
material things instead of the things of the Spirit.
- Lord, please look at the blood of Jesus shed at Calvary
and have mercy on the nation of Nigeria.
