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
