PRAYER POINTS FOR THE 24/7 PRAYER CHAIN FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST & NIGERIA, April 10-16, 2022
THANKSGIVING & REPENTANCE: Rom_8:32 “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Let us heartily thank the Lord for how far He has gone to redeem us, to fetch us out of darkness into His marvelous light. Also, appropriate this grace; ask God for mercy and forgiveness for all of your sins, those of your family, the Church and Nigeria; pray for grace to "turn from...wicked ways" and live in obedience; that our land may be healed (2 Chron. 7.14). Seek God’s help for sustained righteousness in your life, family, the Church and the nation.
FOCUS OF THE WEEK: Passover
PRAYER POINTS:
Exod 3.12 “Certainly I will be with thee”. Let us thank God for how firmly He has been with us, without which the Church in Nigeria would have been already consumed minced meat for the enemies of the gospel
Exo 3:9 “Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them” Let us thank God that the wickedness of His adversaries against His children is not lost on him at all.
Prophetic words from the Lord long b4 the current crisis began: See IFN’s book Nigeria in Prophecy:
“There shall be more troubles in the years ahead in the North. There shall be killings and fightings but at the end, there will be peace in the land for God shall use the Federal Government to stop the crisis…We are about to witness the great fight of Islam and its fall…The plan to Islamize Nigeria shall be brought to nothing by God’s people rising all over Nigeria in the Spirit against the powers behind it. The Church in Nigeria must rise up like Moses in authority to be used by God to judge Pharaoh and Islam in Africa. In years ahead, Satan shall be on rampage in Nigeria to fight his last battle…but God through the Church in the power of the Holy Spirit shall defeat the spirit”
“There is a war coming over your land…I will prevail over My enemies in the time of this war. It is a time of pain, a time of bloodshed and destruction. I will be with my congregation. In the midst of this turmoil will I reveal my Davids....I will raise a new leader unto you in this land….an instrument in my hand to break the yoke of Islam….Your eyes shall behold things in this land, but at the end I will bring you into Sabbath of rest with Myself”
MATTERS ARISING IN THE NATION: Pray for other matters arising in the nation as observed or as the Spirit of God leads; cast down evil imaginations that lead men to attack airports, trains, etc; pray that in the ensuing political activities, God’s counsel shall stand in all irrespective of what the hearts of men have devised; pray for an end to the war in Ukraine; pray for Israel etc.; and give thanks and praise to God.

PRAYER POINTS FOR THE 24/7 PRAYER CHAIN FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST & NIGERIA, April 3 -9, 2022
THANKSGIVING & REPENTANCE: Lam_3:22 “It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not” We know without a doubt that we as individuals, our families, the Church and Nigeria as a nation have been preserved simply by the mercy of God. Let us heartily thank the Lord. Also, ask God for mercy and forgiveness for all of your sins, those of your family, the Church and Nigeria; pray for grace to "turn from...wicked ways" and live in obedience; that our land may be healed (2 Chron. 7.14). Seek God’s help for sustained righteousness in your life, family, the Church and the nation.
FOCUS OF THE WEEK: The Body of Christ; the Church; for it is righteousness that exalts a nation; and the Church is the vehicle of God for righteousness. So Nigeria is critically dependent on the Church.
PRAYER POINTS:
Rom_1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation”. Salvation makes for righteousness and the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Also, Psa_119:11 “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee”. The word of God in the hearts of men is the antidote to sin and evil. Let us pray that the Church be more vigorous in preaching the undiluted word of God across all parts of Nigeria; and teaching believers to study and meditate on the word of God
Eph_4:16 “.....Jesus Christ, From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, … makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” Let us pray that every part of the Church in Nigeria and even every person will know their place and fulfill their place; thus strengthening the Body and avoiding needless, weakening rivalry and competition
Luk 19:42-44 “Saying, If thou hadst known…at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace!...For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, …because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.” Israel sorely missed a its day in ignorance. Turkey did too. The Church in Nigeria was warned STRONGLY WARNED in 2014/15 of imminent but failed to heed. Let us pray the Church in Nigeria shall not err again; that a day of overwhelming evil will never overtake the Church in Nigeria in ignorance; but rather the Church will rise up henceforth and be true light and salt
Pro_14:34 “Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” Pa Elton prophesied that Nigeria will be corrupt (sinful) so much that our name will stink worldwide; but after that a new era of righteousness will follow when men will come to Nigeria to learn righteousness. Pray against everything that has sustained and encouraged corruption and sin. Decree a close of the corrupt era and call forth the latter glory era of righteousness in Nigeria
Psa_133:1 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity….for there the LORD commands the blessing, even life for evermore. !” Let us pray against needless rivalries. Pray for a common vision and goal, as among the people that built the tower of Babel; even more as among the early Church; that God will command blessing of “life for evermore” upon the Church in Nigeria, i.e. continued existence and growth
MATTERS ARISING IN THE NATION: Pray for other matters arising in the nation as observed or as the Spirit of God leads; cast down evil imaginations that lead men to attack airports, trains, etc; pray that in the ensuing political activities, God’s counsel shall stand in them all irrespective of what the hearts of men have devised; pray for an end to the war in Ukraine; pray for Israel etc.; and give thanks and praise to God.

PRAYING OVER THE WEEK OF February 19 - 25 (THE 8TH WEEK OF THE YEAR; AND THE 21ST WEEK OF NIGERIA'S YEAR)
A. PROLOGUE
February 19 is the beginning of the second seven weeks ( or 49 days) of the year running from the 8th to the 14th week. This is like journeying through the book of Exodus (the 2nd book of the Bible) and through the second seven books of the Bible (Ruth - Second Chronicles). In the book of Exodus, God battled Egypt to deliver Israel to serve Him. In the second seven books of the Bible, Israel struggled to remain loyal to God because of pressures and influences from nations around her. Whereas God delivered Israel in the book of Exodus, Israel served her enemies within the second seven books of the Bible. Her captivity is recorded in the 12th and 14th books of the Bible. This is a season to pray that you do not serve your enemies. It is a time to pray to be delivered from barriers and snares.
February 19 is the beginning of the 8th week of the year; and also the beginning of the 21st week of Nigeria's year. We shall be praying over this week as both 8th week of and 21st week.
THE 8TH WEEK
The 8th week begins with the 50 day of the year; the first of the seven Jubilees in the year. We are going to ask the Lord for things of the 8th week in this 8th week as Zechariah 10:1 tells us to do. "Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain... " The 8th is called 'new beginning' because it is the beginning of the second set of seven (8-14). The first of every seven is a new beginning. The 8th book and 8th chapters of the Bible give clue to the mystery of the 8th season. They reveal five things about the 8th season:
1. IT IS TIME TO MAKE A FRESH START
The 8th book and chapters of the Bible bear witness that the 8th is a new beginning - often following disaster and devastation. In Genesis 8, Noah and his family started a new earth. Israel went back to fight Ai after failing in the seventh chapter. Ruth and Naomi made a fresh start in the 8th book of the Bible. Israel made a move to become a monarchy in the 8th chapter of First Samuel. In Second Kings 8, the woman whose son Elisha raised from the dead returned home to restart life after escaping to the land of the Philistines for seven years because of famine.
2. IT IS A SEASON OF FAMINE
The 8th book of the Bible, Ruth, is about how Elimelech's family moved from Judah to Moab to escape famine; the disaster that befell them, how Naomi returned to Judah with Ruth after the famine. In Second Kings 8, Elisha directed the woman whose son he had raised from the dead to relocate from Israel for seven years because of famine. The destruction of vegetation and marine life is foundation for famine. In Genesis 8, God gave Noah an anti- famine blessing. Genesis 8: 22 says, "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease."
3. IT IS A SEASON OF RELOCATION AND SHIFT
In Genesis 8, Noah and his family relocated from the Ark to the new earth. In First Samuel 8, Israel moved from Theocracy to Monarchy. In First Kings 8, the ark of covenant was brought into the temple. In Esther 8, Mordecai took over Haman's office and house. In Acts 8, many believers left Jerusalem because of persecution and escaped to other lands. Philip went to Samaria with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The capital of Nigeria moved effectively from Lagos to Abuja in the season of the 8th National Leader.
4. IT IS A SEASON OF SACRIFICES
Noah offered sacrifice to God in Genesis 8. Genesis 8:20 says, "Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar". In First Kings 8, Solomon offered sacrifices to God to to mark the entrance of the ark into the temple.1 Kings 8:5 says, "Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude". In Revelation 8, prayers were offered to God as incense. The sacrifices of the 8th provoke divine blessings and visitations in the season.
5. IT IS A SEASON OF SECOND CHANCE AND NO CONDEMNATION.
In Joshua 8, Israel had a second chance to go fight with and defeat Ai. In John 8, Jesus gave second chance to a woman who would have been stoned for adultery. Romans 8 says there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. Hebrews 8 is about the New covenant. The New Covenant is about second chance.
THE 21ST WEEK
The 21st week of Nigeria's week is the last week of the third 49 days (seven weeks) of her year. What does the 21st signify?
1. IT IS SEASON OF FULFILLING PROMISES
God fulfilled His promise to Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 21. Israel testified to God's faithfulness in Joshua 21. God granted the desire of His anointed in Psalm 21. The promise of New heaven and earth is fulfilled in Revelation 21.
2. IT IS A SEASON OF RECOVERY AND RESTORATION
Abraham recovered wells in Genesis 21. David recovered Moriah in First Chronicles 21. Jesus restored the temple in Matthew 21.
3. IT IS A SEASON OF MAKING "ALL THINGS NEW".
Although the 21st book of the Bible says there's nothing new under the sun, in Revelation 21, God declares, "Behold, I make all things new".
4. IT IS A SEASON OF EXPERIMENTS, MAKING DISCOVERIES, AND LEARNING
The 21st book of the Bible is about researches and findings concerning life. The 21st season is for learning about time. In Luke 21, Jesus taught His disciples lessons on times and seasons. The 21st book of the Bible teaches the mystery of time like no other book of the Bible.
5. IT IS A TIME OF JUDGMENT AGAINST WICKEDNESS
God judged Og and Sihon in Numbers 21, judged the house of Ahab in First Kings 21, judged Manasseh in Second Kings 21, and Jehoram in Second Chronicles 21. God visits the sin of bloodshed in the 21st season. Deuteronomy 21 is particular about this.
B. PRAYER POINTS
1. O Lord, deliver your people from disasters and from forced relocation in this 8th week. We shall not mourn as in the 8th book of the Bible.
2. O Lord, let the present pressures in Nigeria, the things the enemy meant against us, advance your cause in the land.
3. O Lord, remember, the humble this week; and make a way for the despised - as you did for Ruth in the 8th book of the Bible; for the Jews in the 8th chapter of Esther, for the woman caught in adultery in John 8, and for Samaria in the 8th chapter of Acts.
4. O Lord, command a positive shift for Nigeria in this 8th week of the year - in the economy, educational sector, in the political arena, etc.
6. O Lord, let our offerings of prayers, praise, and diverse sacrifices be precious in your presence as in Genesis 8, First Kings 8, and Revelation 8.
7. O Lord, let this week be a season to celebrate answers to prayer and delivery of promises as you did for Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 21; for Israel in Joshua 21, for your anointed in Psalm 21, and for your people in Revelation 21.
8 O Lord, this week, visit the wicked who waste other lives for their selfish interests and fears. Visit them as you visited Ahab in First Kings 21, as you visited Manasseh in Second Kings 21, and as you visited Jehoram in Second Chronicles 21.
9. O Lord, as Jesus cleansed the temple in Matthew 21, let this tabernacle of God called Nigeria be cleaned up and restored in line with the Divine Blueprint.
10. O Lord, as you led Israel to defeat Og and Sihon in Numbers 21, let every impediment to transition to a New Nigeria be dismantled in the name of Jesus Christ,
C. PROMISES
Isaiah 8:12-13: "Do not say, 'A conspiracy,' Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. [13] The LORD of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear, And let Him be your dread".
Revelation 21:5: "Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."
Happy 8th week of the year; Happy 21st week of Nigeria's year!

DAY 1
14th Feb. Judgment on corrupt, immoral, and occultic Church leaders
DAY 2
15th Feb. Judgment on those shedding the blood of saints, kidnappers, and terrorists
Three things defile a land and bring curses upon the people. These are: bloodshed, adultery, and idolatry. All the three evils are rampant in Nigeria.
The prayer today shall focus on bloodshed while tomorrow shall focus on immorality and idolatry.
DAY 3
16th Feb. Judgment on immorality and idolatry in the land
According to a survey from a multi-national company, Nigerian married women constitute the largest group of unfaithful women in the world. This report was contested by some Nigerians. To worsen matters, Nigerian doctors confirm that 6 out of 10 children (60%) brought for DNA in Nigeria are not fathered by the man in the house.
Christian youths take the lead in pornography and in immoral shows. It is said concerning BBNaija that mostly Christian youths participate. Youths of other religions tend to stay away.
Apart from traditional idolatry, Nigerian Church is fast becoming idolatrous through the prosperity teaching which promotes covetousness. The Bible in Eph. 5: 5 and Col. 3: 5 confirm that in NT, covetousness is idolatry.
In a country that boasts of the largest Cathedrals in Africa and the largest gathering of Christians in the world, the reports of immorality in Nigeria are disgraceful.
DAY 4
17th Feb. Judgment on corrupt leaders looting the wealth of Nigeria – Job 20
Nigeria is mightily endowed by God with mineral resources and physical wealth. Unfortunately, the ruling class, from the military to the politicians denied the masses of the people from gaining access to the commonwealth of the country. It was reported in the media that in 17 years, Nigerian leaders stole N38 trillion from the national treasury. Presently, Nigeria is regarded as the poverty capital of the world.
There is the need therefore to pray down judgment of God upon the looters of the wealth of the country. They have become so powerful and influential that only God can judge them.
DAY 5
18th Feb. Judgment on politicians engaged in human sacrifices and satanic rituals to get political power.
The escalation of evil and lawlessness in the country is traceable to satanic rituals of politicians seeking political power at all costs. These evil men and women open spiritual portals for demons to infest the land. Only the prayer of the saints can stop them and reverse all the evils they have brought on the land.
“Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.”
Ps. 149: 5 – 9
DAY 6
19th Feb. Promotion of righteous men and women into positions of authority all over the country.
1 Sam. 2: 6-9 Magnify and exalt the Almighty God
DAY 7
20th Feb. Restoration of God’s glory into Nigeria
Pastor Elton delivered a prophecy many years ago that God said Nigeria shall stink globally due to corruption and evil, but the tide shall change, and Nigeria shall be known for righteousness and glory.
We have witnessed the first part of the prophecy. Let us pray the second part into manifestation.
Dearly Beloved of God,
This is the 19th week of Nigeria's 62nd year, counting from Oct-1, 2021. It is also the 6th week of 2022, counting from January 1, 2022. A servant of God raised some prayer points for the Coalition of Intercessors in Nigr (COIN) which includes several members of CSMN/AFD. This is another of those weeks when after going through those prayer points, it seems better that we all pray the same thing.
The outline is long but insightful. However, there is also an audio version. Again, some may prefer to skip the background information on the significance of the 6th week and the 19th and scroll down to just the prayer points. Whichever way, God Almighty bless us all as we pray and grant us grace and strength for impactful praying, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
To the prayers outlined below, P-L-E-A-S-E, add any other prayers for matters arising in the nation, other matters you are stirred or burdened about, and P-L-E-A-S-E pray for Leah Sharibu and others innocently held in captivity for their faith.
Have a fruitful and peaceful week. Best regards.

PRAYING OVER THE WEEK OF February 5 - February 11 (THE 6TH WEEK OF THE YEAR 2022; AND THE 19TH WEEK OF NIGERIA'S 62ND YEAR COUNTING FROM OCT-1)
Every week has its thing; and everything has its week. We re going to pray that this week will give birth to what God intended for it. We are going to be praying over the week of February 5-11 as a sixth week and as a 19th week.
THE MYSTERY OF THE SIXTH WEEK.
God made man and land animals on the sixth day. He made man in His image and after His likeness. It means the land animals were not made in His image or likeness. God reproduced Himself on the sixth day because sixth season challenges are to be handled with the wisdom and power of God. The sixth book and chapters of the Bible are divine-power-passages in the Bible. In Genesis 6, God decided to destroy humanity. In Joshua 6, God gave Israel miraculous victories as the battled the Amorites and took over their land . In Judges 6, God awakened His image in Gideon to war against the Midianites. In
Second Kings 6, Elisha overpowered the Syrian troops that went to arrest him by prayer and the spoken word. In
Daniel 6, Daniel was in the den with hungry lions but they couldn't harm him. In Ephesians 6, we are called to stand against spiritual forces of darkness with the whole armour of God.
The sixth season is a season of reaction against people and things that do not bear His semblance. It is a season of war against rebellion. It is a season to dominate wickedness and ungodliness. The sixth book and chapters of the Bible bear witness to this. The sixth week is a book of Joshua week. It is a time to wage war with divine counsel. It is a time to fight the enemy in the name of God. In Genesis 6, God decided to destroy evil and wicked humanity from the earth. In Joshua 6, Israel began to battle against the Amorites with the supernatural overthrow of Jericho. Israel took over the lands of the Canaanites in the 6th book of the Bible. In Judges 6, God prepared Gideon to fight against the oppressive Midianites. In Esther 6, Mordecai began to rise and Haman began to fall. In Ephesians 6, we are to wrestle spiritual forces of darkness to defeat. In the sixth season, God ordains conflict between those who bear His image and those who do not. Abacha died within the sixth seven years of Nigeria. Saddam Husseini died in the sixth year of the 21st century.
PRAYERS FOR THE SIXTH WEEK
1. O Lord, let your image and likeness be seen in in your people this week.
2. Father, be merciful to us for the ways we have misrepresented you.
3. O Lord, this week, we declare holy war against the Amorites in the land as Israel did in the 6th book of the Bible.
4. O Lord, honour your faithful ones in Nigeria this week as you honoured Elisha, Mordecai, and Daniel . This week, exalt the humble and bring down the wicked and proud ones.
THE MYSTERY OF THE 19TH WEEK
The 19th week is the fifth week in the third seven weeks (49 days) of our year. It is the beginning of the New Testament side of the 3rd seven weeks of Nigeria's year. It is a book of Psalms week.
The 19th week is a time to rest in the Sufficiency of God. It is a time to trust God and boast in Him. The book of Psalm is about utter dependence on God. That’s also what the 19th week is about. The mouth of the Psalmist was never shut in this book. He was always praying, praising God, giving thanks, declaring the word and his faith in God, or encouraging others to acknowledge God.
In the 19th season, the wicked act very wickedly - as if there is no God. The words 'enemy' and 'enemies' are altogether used in 104 verses of Psalms; out of the 375 verses it is used in the entire Bible. The words 'wicked', wickedly, and wickedness are altogether used in 451 verses of the Bible; but in the book of Psalms alone they are used in 104 verses. Wickedness is a major feature of the 19th season. That is the reason Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed in Genesis 19. Sodomites raped a woman to death in Judges 19. Saul wanted to kill David in First Samuel 19. Jezebel threatened to kill Elijah in First Kings 19. Sennacherib, king of Assyria was up against Hezekiah and Judah in Second Kings 19. God judged him because Hezekiah prayed to God. God gave David victory over Ammonites and Syrians in First Chronicles 19. In Acts 19, the Word of God prevailed in Ephesus and God gave Paul victory over sorcerers and magicians. They surrendered their books for burning. In Revelation 19, the Lord is praised for destroying the great harlot that corrupted the earth by her fornication. So, this is a week to lift the banner of righteousness and raise our voices in prayer because of enemies and because of the wicked.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Raise your voice to adore the All-Sufficient God. Let us give thanks to Him and praise His name.
2. Lift up your voice against the wicked in the land - those whose power is in their weapons, those whose power is their position, those whose power is their money, and those whose power is sorcery.
3. Pray against fire disasters in the land this week.
WORD FOR THE WEEK
Ephesians 6:10-13: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. [11] Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. [13] Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Psalm 19:7-11 : The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; [8] The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; [9] The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. [10] More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. [11] Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward.
