NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 25th September – Sunday 1st October 2023

The last day during this prayer week will be 1st October, when Nigerians will celebrate the country’s 63rd Independence Anniversary. A 63-year old man is considered a full-grown adult, by human calendar, but not so in the calendar of nations. A 63-year old country is young in the community of nations. There are nations that are thousands of years old.

The journey of Nigeria to nationhood has been slow and tortuous but God has been kind and merciful. If it had not been the Lord Who was on our side, the story of Nigeria would have been much worse.

From its inception, Nigeria has demonstrated signs of its prophetic mandate. The link between Nigeria and Israel cannot be mere coincidence.
For example, Nigeria gained Independence on 1st October 1960, the day Israel celebrated “Yom Kippur”, the “Day of Atonement”. In addition, the colonial government minted coins for Nigeria and stamped them with the Star of David. Those coins entered post-independent Nigeria.

In various prophecies, God has confirmed that Nigeria is a missionary nation with prophetic mandate to take the light of the gospel to the nations of the world. A country that has these prophetic mandates is bound to come under heavy assault from the forces of darkness.

Despite the current gloominess in the country, there is a lot to thank God for. Nigeria's prophetic mandate is a reason for which to continue to dedicate the country to God.

PRAYER POINTS

1. Ps. 124 - Thank God for His protection and the preservation of Nigeria as a country. If the forces of darkness and some hostile foreign nations have had their way, Nigeria would have been destroyed. Thank God for preserving the country.

2. Thank God for the prophetic mandate of Nigeria as a “sheep nation” that He will use to fulfil His mandate in the Last Day gathering of souls into His Kingdom. In a vision that God gave to Pastor Elton, Africa was shown as a pistol, with Nigeria in the trigger position and South Africa the muzzle.

3. Thank God for blessing Nigeria with abundant resources, a good climate, stable weather conditions and protection from natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, landslides, tsunamis, and typhoons.

4. Thank God for an abundant and vibrant human population. While some nations of the world are experiencing population decline, Nigeria has a huge segment of its population under 25 years. In addition, Nigerians excel wherever they go in the world.

5. Pray that as Nigeria turns 63 years, God will hasten His promises concerning the country and purge Nigeria from all works of darkness.
Isaiah 26: 9 – 11 - Pray that God will judge evil in Nigeria and teach the country righteousness.

6. Pray that the government of the Kingdom of God shall be established upon Nigeria. Matt. 6: 9 – 13.

7. Proclaim Isaiah 60 upon Nigeria

Ps. 46:1

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 18th September – Sunday 24th September 2023

Isaiah 54:13 "All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children."

If Nigeria is going to have a glorious future that will do the will of God, the youths and the children must grow up in godliness and fear of God. The state of the majority of Nigerian youths is distressing. At present, many of Nigeria's youths are involved in cyber-crimes, the occult, money rituals, drugs, and unbridled sexual immorality. A generation of parents compromised the Godly parenting and discipline that they themselves had received while growing up. Some of these parents became permissive and indulgent under the guise of 'western civilization,' and others were consumed with the desire to 'make ends meet.' Consequently, they neglected parental oversight.
In addition, the sudden transition of the African society from communal parenting to nuclear families has not helped matters either. In traditional African society, it took the community to raise a child.
This week, we shall focus prayers on Nigeria's youths. There is a prophecy in which God promised to use Nigerian youths wonderfully if they are brought up in His ways. Some of our youths have shown seeds of greatness, but those who are immoral and rebellious are in the majority.
The Millennial Generation, Generation Z, Generation Alpha, the social media generation ... they all need prayers.

PRAYER POINTS

1. Ps. 127:3: Thank God for making Nigerians fruitful in procreation. While some nations are suffering a decline in population and are at risk of cultural and racial extinction in the next few decades, Nigeria has a thriving youth population. Thank God for the fruitfulness of Nigerians.

2. Job 39:13–17: Ask forgiveness for the criminal negligence of many parents in bringing up their children.
Prov. 19:18. Pray that parents shall turn around and focus on the Godly upbringing of their children.

3. Prov. 22:6: Pray for the restoration of Godly discipline in schools.
Prov. 23:13–14: The moral education and discipline that helps in character formation has been discarded through government policies and the collapse of the educational system. Pray for a restoration.

4. Isaiah 54:13: Ask God's forgiveness for Nigeria's youths, and deliverance from immorality, sensualities, licentiousness and the greed for money that currently characterize many of them.

5. 1 Tim. 6:6–12: Pray that churches will discard the ungodly focus on money and prosperity, and return to pure Gospel doctrines that produce Christlike character in youths and all Christians.

6. Joel 2:28–29: Pray for revival. Pray that God shall again visit schools in Nigeria as He did in the 70s and 80s.

7. Matt. 6:9–10: Pray that the Kingdom of God shall come upon Nigeria and that God’s prophetic agenda for the country shall speedily come to pass. Amen.

Monday 11th September – Sunday 17th September 2023

PRAYER POINTS

1. 1 Thes. 5:18: The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal gave its judgment last week, and it cast a dark pall over the country. Just as when the nocturnal announcement of the election results was made on 25th February 2023, the land went into mourning.
The word of God commands us to give thanks in all situations. Whether we like what happened or not, God’s command is for us to give Him thanks. God knows what He is doing. “… the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men …” Dan. 4:25
Thank God for Nigeria, thank God for all that the country is going through, and thank God that the Most High is in control.

2. Isaiah 32:10 & 15: Pray again for the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon Nigeria, to bring an end to decades of trouble and confusion in the land.

3. Acts 2:1–4: Pray for Holy Ghost revival in the Nigeria Church. Pray that God will revive His people and cause them to return to Christlikeness.

4. Mark 16:15–18: Pray for salvation of souls all over Nigeria. Pray that Christians shall return to evangelism. Pray that the character and attitude of Christians shall return to the Christlikeness that will draw lost souls into the Kingdom of God.

5. 1 Cor. 11:31; 1 Peter 4:17: Pray for the discipline of the Holy Spirit to rest upon the Nigeria Church such that Christians would no longer tolerate sin and iniquity in the Body of Christ. Pray that a zeal for truth and righteousness shall propel Christians to execute judgment on corruption and immorality in the Church.

6. Is. 55:10–11: Pray and hasten the fulfilment of the prophetic mandate of God for Nigeria. Pray that every prophecy of God concerning a new Nigeria shall speedily come to pass.

7. The word of God, in Ps. 149:5–9, gives the saints of God the honour to execute judgment. Stand on Job 20:4–29 and execute judgment upon those who loot the treasury of Nigeria, the riggers of elections and their accomplices, those who dispense injustice and unrighteousness in our courts, as well as those who promote oppression and evil in the land.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 4th September – Sunday 10th September 2023

PRAYER POINTS

1. Hab. 3: 17 – 19: We acknowledge that Nigeria is going through turbulence economically, politically, and socially. Yet, there remain credible reasons for thanksgiving to God. Pray in thanksgiving, for the Lord is good and His mercy endures forever, notwithstanding all the challenges facing the country.

2. Mal. 3: 1 – 3: Christianity in Nigeria is facing a lot of crises primarily due to the lack of Godly character amongst Christians. The scandals and evils reports amongst the saints are distressing. It is difficult to find Christians who are Christlike in conduct.
Pray that God will sit as refiner and purifier of silver in the Nigeria Church and purge Christians of every evil and abominable work.

3. A Church without moral authority cannot exercise spiritual authority. Through multiple acts of disobedience and rebellion against God, the Nigeria Church has lost moral authority. The guiltiest group is the leadership of the Church.
2 10: 3 – 6: In the ongoing spiritual warfare in the country, the Church requires perfect obedience to punish and restrain every satanic operation in the country.
Pray again that God would purge the Nigeria Church of every evil work, worldliness, greed, and covetousness.

4. Jude 3-4: Christians are commanded to contend earnestly for the faith because “certain men [have] crept in unawares” into the Church. There are people in the Church who have no business with Jesus Christ. Their god is mammon. According to 1 Cor. 5: 12 – 13, Execute judgment upon every ungodly, hypocritical, and pretentious Christian leader in the Nigeria Church. Pray that God would speedily judge every Christian leader who has turned the grace of Jesus God into “lasciviousness”. Jude 4.

5. Heb. 12: 22 – 24: Pray against every altar of darkness promoting illegality and injustice in Nigeria. Plead the blood of Jesus to silence every voice that proceeds from altars of darkness in the land.
Pray that the satanic priests and priestesses servicing the altars of darkness shall be cut-off from this country.

6. As the country draws closer to 16th September 2023 when the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal shall give judgment, tension is building up in the country.
According to Daniel 7: 21-22, Pray that the Ancient of Days would sit in judgment over Nigeria and give judgment to the saints and to all who love truth and righteousness in the country.

7. Government has issued another warning that flooding shall be experienced in various parts of the country. The flooding of Nigeria in 2022 left in its wake serious destructions.
Gen. 9: 9 – 16: Intercede that God would remember His covenant with man and restrain the rainwater from becoming destructive flood all over the country again.
Also, pray that responsible people shall take over government and implement preventive measures against perennial flooding of the country.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 28th August – Sunday 3rd September 2023

PRAYER POINTS

1. Ps. 124 – Thank God for preserving Nigeria.

2. Prov. 29: 26 As all eyes are on the judiciary, the Word of God reminds us that righteous judgment comes from the Lord.
Pray that God, the Righteous Judge of all flesh, shall judge the Presidential Election Petition case for Nigeria.
Pray that if the Justices are willing, let God work through them to give Nigeria a righteous judgment, but if they are unwilling, pray that God will still give judgment in spite of their personal inclinations.
Prov. 18: 5; Prov. 21: 3; Prov. 24: 23

3. 2 Kings 9: 1-3 Last week, a word came on various altars that God should judge idolatry and witchcraft in the land. When witchcraft, idolatry and injustice reached a zenith in Israel, God released a peculiar anointing to deal with the situation.
Nigeria is currently witnessing a flagrant display of sorcery, abominable rituals, unprecedented acts of wickedness and pervasive unrighteousness.
Pray that God shall release the anointing of Jehu upon Nigeria to deal with the evil in the land.

4. This reinforces the prayer above.
Is. 26: 9 – 11 There is need for judgment from God so that righteousness can flourish in Nigeria. According to the word of God, the judgment of God will start from the Church. 1 Pet. 4: 17.
If we truly desire righteousness and peace in the land, we must pray for God’s judgment upon evil and unrighteousness in the country. God made it clear in His word that righteousness will only come after He has executed judgment.
Pray for the judgment of God to be released upon Nigeria.

5. 1 Cor. 5: 12 – 13 God commands Christians to judge evil within the Church while He would judge the evil outside the Church. The practice in the Church is that Christians ignore evil within the Church while they judge and condemn the evil of the unbelievers.
As Christians, pray for God to judge every Church leader that sanctions and endorses this evil government that is determined to pervert the will of Nigerians and is attempting to use corruption, witchcraft, and sorcery to impose itself upon the country.
Pray that God will speedily judge any Christian leader who openly, or secretly, supports this flagrant evil in the land.

6. According to Oswald Smith, “In the Irish Revival of 1859, people became so weak that they could not get back to their homes. Men and women would fall by the wayside and would be found hours later pleading with God to save their souls. They felt that they were slipping into hell and that nothing else in life mattered but to get right with God. To them eternity meant everything. Nothing else was of any consequence. They felt that if God did not have mercy on them and save them, they were doomed for all time to come.”
Acts 2: 1 – 4 Pray for outpouring of the Holy Ghost upon Nigeria. Pray for revival.
Acts 1: 8 – Pray for the fulfilment of this promise upon Christians in Nigeria.

7. Plead the blood of Jesus to cover Nigeria and nullify every operation of Satan and his forces in the country.
Plead the blood of Jesus to cancel every divination, incantation, invocation of evil, necromancy, sorcery, and every evil word that is released into Nigeria.
Is. 8: 10 – Decree that no word from the kingdom of darkness shall stand in Nigeria.

PROLOGUE

The late Apostle Ayo Babalola had a vision of being in the presence of God while the Most High was distributing gifts to nations. In the vision, nation after nation came forward and God handed a gift over to them from a basket. As he watched, the gifts in the basket finished and nothing had been given to the black race. He started weeping profusely that nothing was given to Nigeria and the black race.
In the vision, God consoled him and assured him that the best gift was reserved for Nigeria and the black race. God promised that because of the gift He has reserved for the black race, all the other nations will lay their gifts at the feet of Africa.
God told Apostle Babalola that the gift is the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit shall be given to Nigeria and to the black race if they would welcome Him and appreciate Him.
This is the third week of prayers for the Holy Spirit to be poured upon Nigeria. The prayer call was raised from Isaiah 32: 10, 15 which says that for many days and years we shall be troubled until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high.
With the added assurance that God will give Nigeria the Holy Spirit, based on the vision of Apostle Ayo Babalola, we shall continue with the righteous demand for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon Nigeria.

PRAYER POINTS

1. Thank God for the promise of the Holy Spirit based on Isaiah 32: 15 and the vision of Apostle Babalola. Pray in thanksgiving and remind God to fulfil His promise to Nigeria.

2. Gen. 1: 1 -3 When the earth was without form and void, Holy Spirit brought light and order into the darkness of the earth.
Pray that the Holy Spirit shall give Nigeria light that will destroy every work of darkness in the country.
Pray that the presence and power of Holy Spirit shall restore order into Nigeria and bring restoration and times of refreshing to the land.

3. Luke 11: 13 Pray again that God will respond to the prayer of the saints in Nigeria and pour His Spirit upon the country.

4. Acts 1: 8 Pray for the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon the saints so that there shall be revival in the land.

5. It was shared that in 1986, Pastor Elton delivered two prophecies concerning Nigeria. One of the prophecies is that Nigeria would stink globally due to corruption, but that the tide would change and Nigeria would become a light to the nations.
The other prophecy is that God would purge the Nigeria Church and severely judge false ministers of the gospel.
A lot of prayers concentrated on the first part of the prophecy.
Pray that the prophesied judgment of God upon the Church shall commence, so that false ministers preachers would be judged as foretold in prophecy.

6. A traditionalist (may God save his soul) expressed horror at the unprecedented abominable sacrifices that were done by a politician to gain political power in the 2023 election. It was a situation reminiscent of the abominable sacrifice of the king of Moab in 2 Kings 3: 26 – 27 which produced “great indignation” against Israel. Plead the blood of Jesus, the blood that speaks better things than the blood of Abel, to nullify every abomination, defilement, indignation, and spell cast over the land because of these abominable sacrifices.
Pray that the blood of Jesus shall nullify every satanic power that was released to sustain the wicked in political office in Nigeria.
Pray that the blood of Jesus shall nullify every spiritual indignation that was released against the land and against Nigerians.

7. Isaiah 11: 1 – 5 Pray again for the justices in the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal, that the Spirit of God shall rest upon them, and they shall give judgment in righteousness and in the fear of God.
Pray that the fear and dread of the Almighty God shall rest upon the justices.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 31st July – Sunday 5th August 2023

Please go through the short prologue below before you pray.
In 1995, four ministers presented a revelation aimed at calling the Church to repentance and national reconciliation based on Isaiah 32: 9 – 18. The call was heeded, by Church leaders, which led to a day of National Prayers for Repentance and Reconciliation on 30th September 1995. That was 28 years ago. Since then, the situation in Nigeria seems to have gone from bad to worse. What could be the reason for this?

Isaiah 32: 10 says, “Many days and years shall you be troubled, …” None of us can controvert this word. Trouble seems to have made Nigeria its headquarters, in the past few years. In the same passage, the solution is provided for the country. Verse 15 says, “Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, …”
The conclusion is thus clear, that we shall be troubled for many days and years until “the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, …” The outpouring of the Spirit of God will produce the following results in the Church, as well as in the country:
1. Genuine repentance
2. Deliverance and restoration of the land
3. Righteousness, justice, and peace
4. Soul winning and genuine discipleship
5. Establishment of the kingdom of God
6. Brotherly love and kindness
7. Restoration of holiness
8. etc.

From this week, we shall focus prayers on the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon Nigeria. Incidentally, this week is very crucial as the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal shall begin to round up its hearing and, hopefully, give judgment. An outpouring of the Holy Ghost shall guarantee truth, righteousness, and justice in our courts.

(Please, find below the prayer points that the signed documents put up in 1995.)

PRAYER POINTS

1. Thank God for sustaining Nigeria in the days and years of trouble. The multiple crises that Nigeria went through in the past few years would have scattered some other countries. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed. Lamentations 3: 22 – 23

2. Isaiah 32: 15 – 18 Pray that the Spirit of God shall be poured upon Nigeria to produce fruitfulness, judgment, righteousness, and peace in the country.
Petition God that the days and years of trouble must give way now for the outpouring of the Spirit of God.

3. Joel 2: 28 – 29 Pray that God shall sanctify Nigerians through the outpouring of His Spirit upon the country.

4. Ps. 85: 4 – 7 Pray for revival in the land. Pray for revival of soul winning and good works.
Pray that the revival will begin with you.

5. Isaiah 1: 26 – 27 Pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Justices in all the Elections Petitions Tribunals and indeed, in all our courts.

6. 2 Cor. 6: 2 – Now is the accepted time, behold, now is the day of salvation.
Pray that the salvation of Nigeria shall no longer delay.
Holy Ghost, fall upon Nigeria. Let the Spirit of God be poured upon us.

7. Pray for Godly and righteous leadership at all levels of governance in Nigeria.
