The Divine Promises of God
Obadiah 17
“But upon Mount Zion, there shall be deliverance and the house of Jacob shall possess their possession.”
Obadiah 21
“And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.”
Isaiah 60:22
“A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time.”
Zechariah 4:6
“…Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”
God’s promises do not
fail…
Hebrews
6:17-18
“Thus
God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the
immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, 18 that
by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we
might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay
hold of the hope set before us.”

Exodus 2:24-25

remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God
looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them.
Prayers for the
Displaced Nation
- Lord, please look upon the plight of the men, women and
children in IDP Camps across Nigeria and hear their groanings. Look upon
their oppression and respond in mercy.
- As you remembered Your covenant with Abraham, with Isaac
and with Jacob, our appeal is to the blood of Your cross, the blood new
Covenant which was shed for many. (Mark 14:24)
- Our appeal is to the love that caused You to send Your
only Son as Saviour of the world. Lord, please deliver Your people. (1
John 4:14)
Mark 6:34-37
And Jesus, when He came
out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they
were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things. When the day was now far spent, His disciples
came to Him and said, “This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late. 36 Send
them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy
themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat.” 37 But
He answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat.”
- Lord, please visit each camp in Your compassion and do
for them what no man can do. Let a door of ministry of Word of God be open
within the camps. Please raise disciples for this cause and give them
utterance to preach the complete gospel.
- Send forth labourers from Your presence into their
midst, disciples who can ‘give them something to eat’, who can give
them the bread of heaven, the real food for spiritual nourishment.
- For this purpose, the Son of God was
manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil” (1
John 3:8). Destroy every work of the devil within the camps and
set the people free completely. Root out the wicked camp leaders and
replace them with men with the compassionate heart of Jesus.
1
Peter 2:24
… who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we,
having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were
healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have
now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
- Lord, please comfort the people, miraculously heal
those with sicknesses and diseases, in Your name we pray. Heal them
spirit, soul and body. Revive their hearts and cause them to
return to you.
- As we seek the Kingdom on their behalf, please let all
other things they need (e.g. food, clothing and medical supplies) be added
to them miraculously. Turn this humanitarian crisis around for Your glory.
Psalm 9:9 – “The Lord
also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.”
Let’s raise a cry for the children, the
heritage of the Lord.
Pray that the Lord will be their refuge and that He will
silence the foe and the avenger raging against them.
Exodus
3:9-10 – “Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children
of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the
Egyptians oppress them. 10 Come now, therefore, and I will
send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out
of Egypt.”
The Church in Nigeria
Ephesians 4:11-13
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles,
some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for
the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the
body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the
faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure
of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
Romans 1:5 ICB
Through Christ, God gave
me the special work of an apostle. This was to lead people of all nations to
believe and obey. I do this work for Christ.
- Lord, please give us saviours upon mount Zion in
Nigeria, who will judge the mount of Esau, and every territory, every
camp, every part of Nigeria will be the Lords in the name of Jesus.
- Give us genuine Apostles in Nigeria – those who contend
for the faith, those who carry the Seed of the gospel, those who labour
for the purity of the gospel in life and in ministry.
- Lord we ask for genuine prophets, evangelists, pastors
and teachers that all work in unity for the perfecting of the saints until
they mature and can be sent by God to confront enemies of the cross.
- Lord, give us disciples that carry the mark of Christ
in Nigeria – those that continue continues in His Word, those that love
one another genuinely, those who bear fruit, those who are distinct from
the world system.
- Pray for discipleship classes to multiply in their
thousands and as the complete gospel is being preached, souls will be
revived and discipled to become like Jesus.
- As the gospel begins to spread, let the body of Christ
in Nigeria begin to arise to identify the gift of God given to them so
that saints can be equipped for the work of ministry.
The Government in
Nigeria
Proverbs 21:1
The king’s heart is in
the hand of the Lord,
Like the rivers of water;
He turns it wherever He wishes.
- Pray for the President, the Vice President and all
those in authority. Pray that the Lord will turn their hearts towards His
kingdom's purpose.
- Pray that the Lord will give them wisdom from heaven to
know what to do.
- Let there be restoration and revival of hearts of men
all over the nation.

“Now a certain woman
named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city
of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things

Lydia’s heart.

deliberately apply it to their lives, even at their old age.

BLESSED ASSURANCE
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain:This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight!
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect submission, all is at rest!
I in my Savior am happy and blessed,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
Fanny Crosby, 1873
