Nigeria: A New Nigeria 'By His Spirit' (2)

Join This HeartCry Prayer- Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11.30am -1.30pm (UK Time)

Isaiah 11 (NKJV)
There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

2
 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord
.

His delight is in the fear of the Lord,
And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,
Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;

But with righteousness He shall judge the poor,
And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.

Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins,
And faithfulness the belt of His waist.

“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.

The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea
.

10 “And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse,
Who shall stand as a banner to the people;
For the Gentiles shall seek Him,
And His resting place shall be glorious.”

11 It shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord shall set His hand again the second time
To recover the remnant of His people who are left,
From Assyria and Egypt,
From Pathros and Cush,
From Elam and Shinar,
From Hamath and the islands of the sea.
12 He will set up a banner for the nations,
And will assemble the outcasts of Israel,
And gather together the dispersed of Judah
From the four corners of the earth.


Ephesians 1:7-10 (NKJV)
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.

  • It is upon this basis that we have come to ask the Lord for revival for Nigeria. 
  • Let us pray for ourselves, as those in whom He has chosen to share His burden for Nigeria with. God has made known the mystery of the gospel to us and He expects us to discharge His burden in the place of prayer. 
  • Our prayer is for God to raise men and women in Nigeria who will carry His Spirit and push what the Lord has purposed in Himself that He will do in the nation.

Prayer for Ourselves

  • Ephesians 1:3-6 Let us thank the Lord for blessing us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ; for choosing us before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight in love;
  • Thank Him for adopting us as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself; for accepting us in the Beloved, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise and glory of His grace.
  • Lord, please give me understanding of the implication of this for my life. Holy Spirit, be activated in me again today to live according to Your divine expectation as one You have chosen.
  • Let the mystery of the Gospel become a revelation to me. Reveal it inside me in completeness. Help me to experience Jesus coming in my flesh. Let the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus be mine.
  • Let this mystery dig deeper and deeper into my heart until Your Spirit flows out - Spirit of wisdom and understanding, Spirit of counsel and might, Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of God.
  • Show us Your mercy and succeed with us. Let what You have purposed in Yourself will prosper in our hands.

Prayer for “ASIRI IHINRERE”

  • Let us thank the Lord for giving us this platform. Thank Him for the inspiration; thank Him for the enablement; thank Him that out of His rich store house He has given us this platform as a gift. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ – Ephesians 1:3.
  • Romans 10:14-15 “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent?” 
  • Thank Him for the gift of all those He has raised and prepared to resource this platform; thank Him for their beautiful feet. How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!
  • Ask the Lord to give strength to His children that He is using as a resource, that He will be the one who will empower them. Ask Him to equip them with His Spirit to do this work.
  • Ask the Lord to let the sound of His Word go out in all the Yoruba speaking world and draw souls to Himself by His power. No one can come to the Father except He draws them. Lord, let the good news of this platform spread though the Yoruba speaking nation of Nigeria.
  • Lord, open the ears of the hearers and let faith come. Let there be a harvest of souls from this platform. Let this platform contribute to the increase of the kingdom of God in Nigeria.
  • For all our elderly who come on this platform, we pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to then the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him; that the eyes of their understanding will be enlightened; that they may know what is the hope of His calling, that they will know the exceeding greatness of His power toward those who believe, according to the working of His mighty power. Ephesians 1:17-19.
  • Revelation 5:9-10 “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”
  • Thank the Lord that the nation of the elderly in Nigeria are His purchased possession. Lord, make each one of them who comes to this platform become a king and priest unto You. Let them reign on the earth even now, as you prepare them to reign with You forever.
  •  Let them receive their healing miraculously as they receive the Mystery of the Gospel in their spirits and let them testify to Your goodness to them in the name of Jesus.
  • Ask the Lord to reveal to us that in His mercy, He has given us a coin to do business with. Envision me. O Lord, that I may arise do business with this coin.
  • Ask the Lord to provide us with resources in the Yoruba language from His rich store house – e.g. books that speak of Calvary.

Prayer for Nigeria

Spirit Divine, Attend Our Prayers


Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
and make this house thy home;
descend with all thy gracious powers,
O come, great Spirit, come!

Come as the light; to us reveal
our emptiness and woe,
and lead us in those paths of life
whereon the righteous go.

Come as the fire and purge our hearts
like sacrificial flame;
let our whole soul an offering be
to our Redeemer's Name.

Come as the dove, and spread thy wings,
the wings of peaceful love;
and let thy Church on earth become
blest as the Church above.

Come as the dew and sweetly bless
this consecrated hour;
may barrenness rejoice to own
thy fertilizing power.

Spirit divine, attend our prayers,
make a lost world thy home;
descend with all thy gracious powers;
O come, great Spirit, come!
