MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 29th July - Sunday 4th August 2024
Can two walk together, except they be agreed? (Amos 3: 3).
A few weeks ago, we published under the prayer call entitled “The Samoa Agreement,” the 10-point agenda of Alice Bailey aimed at the establishment of the New World Order. That satanic 10-point agenda currently guides the policies of most Western nations. Today, we shall revisit that agenda for the purpose of prayers on another issue that is of paramount importance to Nigeria. First, we need to represent the entire agenda to enable us to understand the context within which today’s prayer call is based.
The 10-point agenda of Alice Bailey is as follows:
1. Take God and prayer out of the education system
2. Reduce parental authority over the children
3. Destroy the Judeo-Christian family structure or the traditional Christian family structure
4. If sex is free, then make abortion legal and make it easy.
5. Make divorce easy and legal, free people from the concept of marriage for life
6. Make homosexuality an alternative lifestyle
7. Debase art, make It run mad
8. Use media to promote and change mindsets
9. Create an interfaith movement
10. Get governments to make all these laws and get the church to endorse these changes.
All the points in this agenda were inspired by Satan and are implemented under the guidance of evil spirits. Therefore, Christians need to be circumspect if they discover that their actions and programs tend to align with any of these satanic 10-point agenda.
Our focus in today’s prayer call is on the 9th Agenda, which states, “Create an interfaith movement”. We pointed out earlier that the forces of darkness recognize the spiritual authority of the Church and would usually seek endorsement of the Body of Christ for their evil works. For example, a major cult in Nigeria, the Ogboni Fraternity, used to initiate new members in the vestry of a church, accompanied by the reading of Ps. 133. The 10th Agenda of Alice Bailey pointedly states: “… get the Church to endorse these changes.”
Unfortunately, many Christians are not discerning in their relationship with the children of the world. The spiritual authority of the Church has been compromised by many undiscerning Christian leaders who use their position to endorse the works of Satan. The politics of Christian leaders is an uncomfortable example.
In September 1999, the Federal Government under President Obasanjo, a Christian, established an interfaith body for Christian and Muslim leaders to dialogue. That was a few months after the 1999 Constitution was introduced in May. With the benefit of hindsight, one can judge that while the 1999 Constitution was introduced to place Nigeria in political bondage, the interfaith followed in September of the same year and entangled the Church in a spiritual relationship that weakened its spiritual power.
That interfaith forum was established by government does not confer on it automatic sincerity. Afterall, it was governments that took God and prayer out of schools, reduced parental authority over children, and in many countries, legalized LGBTQ. Many policies of government require interrogation to determine their sincerity.
It is prudent for Christians to check what benefits have come to the Church from its participations with the interfaith movement. After that movement was established in 1999, Islamist insurgency started in 2009 and blossomed in Nigeria. Despite the quarterly interfaith consultations, hundreds of thousands of Christians have been murdered by Islamists, thousands of churches destroyed, thousands kidnapped, and billions of Naira extorted from Nigerians as ransom, besides millions of Nigerians who have become Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in their own country.
We bear in mind the craftiness of the devil. Our leaders, while they think that they are forging religious tolerance, are unwittingly giving spiritual endorsement to the activities of those who trouble the land. Satan knew what he was planning when he instructed in that Agenda from hell to “get the Church to endorse these changes.” The word of God queries, “can two walk, [or sit] together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3: 3).
We are aware of the sensitivity of these issues, considering that the meetings have gone on for twenty-five years and some Christian leaders are committed to it. Nevertheless, we cannot discountenance the 9th Agenda of Alice Bailey. What we are doing in this prayer call is to present the facts and to call on Christians to weigh what has been presented. The Scriptures warn us, “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” (2 Cor. 2: 11).
For Satan to be emphatic that the endorsement of the Church is required for his 10-point agenda, which includes the interfaith movement, it is prudent for Christians to examine the issues dispassionately. It is no longer a secret that the doctrine of “Taqiyya” which is “approved deception” is a major tool of Muslim leaders. It is not impossible that promises and assurances of positive action against terrorism have been made to Christian leaders at the interfaith meetings, without any corresponding positive action. The truth of the matter is that if Muslim leaders are committed to stopping terrorism in Nigeria, they would have stopped it long ago. It is time for the Christian leaders to re-consider the issues.
That the call to create an interfaith movement is part of the 10-point agenda from hell should serve as a signal to Christian leaders. May they be guided by Holy Spirit in all that they do for the Church.
1). 2 Cor. 6: 17 – 18
Pray for courage and submission to the Holy Spirit for Christian leaders to separate themselves from every unholy association.
2). 2 Cor. 6: 14 – 16
Pray for the spirit of sanctification, which is separation from sin and evil, to rest upon Nigeria Church leaders. Pray that they shall not be unequally yoked with Belial.
3). Lam. 3: 37
Cancel every endorsement of the Church for evil thrones in Nigeria. Renounce such endorsements and dissociate the Church from it.
4). 2 Cor. 2: 11
Cancel every device of Satan against the Church in Nigeria. Nullify with the blood of Jesus every manipulation and wile of the devil that has been operating against the Church.
5). Ps. 94: 20
Pray that every evil throne that has been sustained by the endorsement of the Church shall fall and be destroyed.
6). Ps. 18: 28
Pray that the light of God will lighten the understanding of Church leaders, that they will understand spiritual issues.
7). Heb. 10: 26 – 27
Pray that God will punish and dismiss every Church leader who knows the truth yet chooses to persist in error.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 22nd - Sunday 28th July 2024
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell (Prov. 23: 13 - 14).
In a viral video on social media, a Muslim cleric based in Florida, USA, was boasting to a Muslim congregation that churches were “emptying out” because the younger generation was no longer interested in Christianity. He bragged that Church buildings were becoming empty, and Muslims were purchasing the properties.
Was that Imam telling a lie? No,, he is not. The younger generation of Christians is generally not interested in the faith. Under such circumstance, who should be held responsible, Satan? Again, no. The fault lies with Christian parents.
Every electronic or mechanical device is sold with an “owner’s manual”. The buyer is warned to read the manual before operating the device, so that it does not malfunction. In like manner, for babies, He also provided an owner’s manual, the Bible. The tragedy of this generation is that many Christian families are bringing up children without recourse to the Owner’s Manual.
Only a few Christian parents realise that by ignoring Biblical standards in bringing up children, they have unwittingly adopted the manual of Satan. In the 10-Point Agenda of Alice Bailey, which we published in a prayer call two weeks ago, the Number 2 point in that Agenda of hell, states: “Reduce parental authority over the children”. This is the exact opposite of Prov. 22: 6, which states: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Due to lack of home training, many children have grown up with the "foolishness" in their hearts not purged. God declared in Prov. 22:15 that “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.” That childhood foolishness manifest in adult years as rebellion, lewdness, drug addiction, self-will, and ungodliness. The innocent and beautiful looking junior, who was celebrated at his birth, turned into a wreck eighteen years later. His parents, the God-appointed caregivers, were not diligent to apply the Owner’s Manual in directing the life of the child, so a beautiful God-given gift malfunctioned.
How many Christian parents can confidently affirm, “My daughter is eighteen years old, and she has not lost her virginity.” How many Christian parents can say, “My son is twenty-one years old, and he does not drink and he's not on drugs.
The new generation today is called Gen Z. It is a generation that is sensuous, focused on entertainment, and considers morality outdated. It is a generation for which fornication is normal and “virgin" is a dirty word, according to a group of German teenagers. Today, many Christian homes are reeling under the impact of teenage pregnancy, drug addiction, cultism, and online prostitution referred to as “hookup.” Many girls leave home for the tertiary institution to practice prostitution. This has given rise to a phenomenon referred to as “single at home; married in school.”
The advent of social media has opened a vista of opportunities for youths without home training to experiment with hedonism and unbridled youthful lust. The consequence is youth exodus from the Church.
I ask, how did the world get into this mess?
Some informed sources hold the teachings of Dr Benjamin Spock responsible. It is argued that in the sixties, he advocated that parents should be lenient with their children and allow them to express themselves. His books became popular and influenced a generation of parents. Eventually, that thinking got to Nigeria, amongst the elites, who would proudly say, “If you beat your child in Britain, your neighbour will call the Police.” Gradually, bringing up children without the rod of correction became the “civilized” way of parenting. The consequence is starring both the Church and the country in the face.
This prayer call is not advocating “wicked punishment,” in which the slightest fault of the child is met with sticks and rods of anger. Rather, God wants parents to avoid “wicked love” in which a child is left without discipline, and brings the mother to shame. “The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.” (Prov. 29: 15).
The essential ingredient in bringing up children is T-I-M-E. Parental love is spelled T-I-M-E. Statistics reveal the following disturbing figures about the time an average father spends with his son. Weekly, the average father spends:
• 40 hours at work.
• 50 hours to sleep.
• 7 hours to dress and groom himself.
• 24 ½ minutes talking to his son.
Pray, who is bringing up Junior? Who is imparting values and virtue to Junior? The house maid? The TV, or the school? While the school will impart knowledge, it is the responsibility of parents to instil home training. That is why it is called “home” training.
A child’s personality is formed between the ages of three and five. Subsequently, the child builds on it until it is cast in concrete. It is at that critical age that parents should forge the character of their child and impart to the child Godly values. Prov. 20: 11 says, “Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.”
History confirms that many of God’s generals were converted as children. The probability of positive response to the Gospel is as follows:
• Children 5 – 13 years – 32%
• Teenagers 14 – 18 years – 4%
• Adults 19 and above – 6%
It is possible and easy for parents to personally convert and disciple their children at home and the child will not depart from it all the days of their life. God instituted marriage because He is looking for Godly seeds (Malachi 2: 15). Producing Godly seeds must be the focus of every parent. It requires discipline, patience, love, and unity between the couple. Christian couples must ensure that the children entrusted into their hands by God become useful to God in their respective generation. God forbid that our children should turn out like the sons of Eli who “knew not God.”
1). 1 Sam. 2: 27 – 29
Like Eli, many Christian parents indulge their children and place them above God’s moral standard. Ask forgiveness on behalf of Christian parents for years of neglect in bringing up children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
2). Prov. 23:13–14
The first point in 10-Point Agenda of Alice Bailey was a direct attack on the children. It states, “Take God and prayer out of the education system.” Taking God out of schools included taking out Godly discipline. This has become state policy in many countries, including Nigeria.
Pray that Godly discipline shall be restored into the educational system in Nigeria. Children left without discipline tend to grow wild.
3). Gen. 18:17–19
Pray that Christian parents shall realize that producing Godly children is one of the keys to unlocking God’s favour and friendship. Pray that Christian parents shall devote quality time and attention to their children.
4. 2 Tim. 1: 5
Pray that the generational covenant in Christian homes and families shall not be destroyed due to pressures of modern living.
5. Isaiah 49: 24 – 25
Pray that God shall deliver all Christian youths and children whom Satan has taken captive through rebellion, drugs, sexual perversion, cultism, and cybercrime.
6. Joel 2: 28
Pray for a fresh outpouring of Holy Spirit upon Nigerian youths and children. Pray for divine transformation in the lives of the youths.
7. Ps. 85: 6 – 7
Pray for fresh revival in all tertiary institutions, secondary, and primary schools in Nigeria. Pray that God will reenact the revival in the Universities in the ‘70s.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 15th - Sunday 21st July 2024
A few days ago, during our regular prayers, a brother shared his unique experiences over days, culminating in a profound dream with significance for Nigeria. A flash interpretation to the dream was provided. This indicated that it was a vision about a great political figure who was soon to fall in the country after his house of beasts shall have risen against him as his leviathan powers are judged. Days later, a more insightful interpretation was provided, with an impressive clarification of the season that now is. Both the vision and that interpretation are provided below.
It began as a thought in the morning of Monday October 30, 2023. I woke up and my mind was flooded with the thought of a giant tree towering majestically over Nigeria.
The following day, that thought continued strongly like a discussion within my soul. The roots came into focus. I began to see in my mind that the tree had roots running along the ground and reaching all over Nigeria. Along the roots sprang up other trees, also lofty but dependent on the main tree for their sustenance.
The thought shifted to the deepness of the taproot of the major tree. In the ongoing conversation in my soul, I heard that the taproot was more than 200 meters deep. At that point, I dismissed the thoughts and concluded that they were not of the Lord. Why? Because the Bible measures lengths in cubits, not meters.
By Thursday the 2nd of November, the thought had left my mind. In the early hours of Friday the 3rd of November, that is, on the fifth day, I had a dream about the same tree whose thought had flooded my spirit the days before. In that dream, I was standing a distance away, looking at the huge tree towering majestically high. It was a sight to behold. Suddenly, I heard movements to my left. As I turned towards the sound, I saw a massive python, so huge that I could not see the end of its tail. It was swift in its movement. I was amazed at the size and speed of it. In an instant, it had climbed to the top of the majestic tree and settled in a branch, as if spread out on a royal bed.
Then suddenly, a host of all kinds of animals, both herbivores and carnivores as well as all kinds of birds, angrily converged at the top of the tree and began to devour the python. In a moment, they had completely eaten up the python. What was left of it was its huge skeleton at the top of the tree. It was quite a sight.
As I looked on, I saw that the lofty tree had also suddenly dried up. The few leaves left on it had dried up too. I woke from that dream, and it was a few minutes before 3am. I was led by the Holy Spirit to read Ezekiel 17:24 and Isaiah 27:1.
Ezekiel 17:24
And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
Isaiah 27:1
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
I reflected on the conceited Ishmaelitish kingdom seeking roots in Nigeria since 1804. I recall that its ancestor, who set it up, was told in a dream that his kingdom would last for 200 years only, then die.
-Bro C.
Here is the understanding of the dream. Like with the dream of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4, the tree refers to a man. In Nigeria, that man would be the one who sits on the apex Ishmaelitish throne in the land. The other lofty trees along the roots of that big tree would refer to the chiefdoms raised by that apex throne and dependent on it for sustenance. The deepness of the taproot at 200 meters would refer to the 200 years of that throne in Nigeria.
The python that spread itself on the top of the tree refers to the Kusugu well in Daura. It was confirmed during a visit to the well in 1986 that a great snake used to live in the well. That well is at the northern tip of an occult triangle, the two base tips being one at Bariga in Lagos, in the South-West (around the University of Lagos waterfront), and the other at Akamkpa River in Cross River State, in South-Eastern Nigeria.
The deliverance of Nigeria will begin with the divine destruction of that religious throne which has long troubled the politics of the land. That throne is behind the Sharia movement that seeks to take Nigeria captive for Islam. The present ruler on that throne was raised to execute that agenda. The problem of Nigeria is the Sharia movement which has been institutionalized in the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria.
We need to focus prayers on what God has revealed, so that that evil tree shall wither as shown, the python devoured, and the occult triangle permanently dismantled. Amen.
Beloved, by the mouths of these witnesses, we have a timely prayer point for the continuing deliverance of Nigeria. It is not over. The enemy has not prevailed. Amen.
1. Dan. 9:1–2
In the calendar of God, times and seasons are apportioned to nations. A foreign throne has had dominion in Nigeria for 200 years since 1804. That throne has perpetrated evil and oppression in the land. After the expiration of its season, it still seeks to dominate the land. God in His mercy has sent us a prophetic insight announcing that its time is over. Pray that that evil throne and all its subsidiaries shall perish from Nigeria. Demand from heaven that the time allotted for this throne be over and it must be dismantled in Nigeria.
2. Rev. 16: 4 – 6
This evil throne is guilty of bloodshed all over Nigeria, particularly the blood of the saints of God. As it persists in bloodshed, pray divine retribution upon this throne, that it shall be repaid in bloodshed for all the havoc and destruction it has wrecked upon Nigeria.
3. Rev. 14: 6 – 8
There is a shaking about this evil throne and rumblings within its palaces. Pray and decree that the shaking is not enough. It must fall never to rise again.
4. Ez. 12: 21-28
Refer to the vision of the big tree that withered and the python that was destroyed. Pray by the word of God that the vision shall not be delayed but it shall be fulfilled quickly. The evil throne whose season has expired over Nigeria shall wither and be destroyed according to the revelation from God.
5. Ez. 21: 25–27
Pray that the wicked powers ruling Nigeria shall give way for righteous rulers that will promote righteousness and justice.
6. Isaiah 33: 22
Pray that Christ shall reign over Nigeria as King (President), Lawgiver (National Assembly), and Judge (Judiciary). Hand Nigeria over to Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
7. Proclaim Ps. 24:7–10 all over Nigeria.
Command every spiritual gate in Nigeria to open for Jesus Christ the Kings of Glory to enter and reign.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 8th - Sunday 14th July 2024
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants (Lev. 18: 25).
When the Israelites left Egypt, Satan assigned two demons to follow them: Baal and Ashtoreth. Baal was responsible for idolatry, which God regards as spiritual adultery, Ashtoreth was responsible for physical adultery, lewdness and sexual perversion. Both demons stayed with them until God destroyed the northern kingdom of ten tribes, Israel; and later, Judah the southern kingdom was driven into exile in Babylon, for seventy years.
The exile in Babylon cured the Israelites of idolatry and adultery. By the time of Jesus, after the 400 Silent Years, those were no more a national concern. In all His contentions with the religious leaders, He never mentioned the worship of Baal and of the Asherah pole as part of their sins.
When Satan realized that he could neither use Baal nor Ashtoreth anymore to lead the people astray, he replaced them with another demon named Mammon. Jesus spoke more about money than about prayer, faith, and any other subject. In fact, in Matthew 6:24, He warned that people would have to choose between two “masters”: God and mammon. Since the beginning of the New Testament, mammon has been God's major problem with His people. Some preachers do not realize that in making 'prosperity' their major doctrine, they are transmuting into priests of mammon. Let's get back to our main concern.
Our focus in this prayer call is the attempt of Satan to accelerate the depopulation and destruction of Nigeria by opening the gate of perversion. Since perversion resulted in the destruction and captivity of Israel, Nigeria would not fare any better if it should dabble into that evil as a state policy.
The Western nations, spurred by the writings and demonic influence of Alice Bailey the Satanist woman who led the Caucasian race astray from God, have officially adopted sexual perversion as state policy. Alice Bailey produced a 10-point agenda for a 'New World Order,' which is now being implemented by many nations. Her 10-point agenda is in the UK Parliament House of Lords, but not the Ten Commandments. That Agenda states as follows:
1. Take God and prayer out of the education system
2. Reduce parental authority over the children
3. Destroy the Judeo-Christian family structure or the traditional Christian family structure
4. If sex is free, then make abortion legal and make it easy.
5. Make divorce easy and legal, free people from the concept of marriage for life
6. Make homosexuality an alternative lifestyle
7. Debase art, make It run mad
8. Use media to promote and change mindsets
9. Create an interfaith movement
10. Get governments to make all these law and get the church to endorse these changes.
Item Number 6 on that Agenda is what Western nations want to compel developing countries in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific region to adopt. Through subterfuge, they have offered developing countries funding support of $150 billion, if they would sign an agreement captioned: “Partnership Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and the Members of the Organisation of the African, Caribbean and Pacific States, of the other part”. The Agreement was produced on 19th July 2023 by the European Union in Brussels, Belgium, and signed on 15th November 2023 in Samoa, Pacific, by some countries.
When it was clear that many countries, which included Nigeria and South Africa, did not sign the Samoa Agreement, the European Union intensified its lobby for more countries in the Organization of the African, Caribbean, and Pacific States to sign. According to Vanguard newspaper, “Nigeria’s ratification of the agreement emerged on Monday, July 1, (2024) when Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, confirmed the development at a European Union (EU) reception in Abuja.”
A spokesperson for that minister denied that Nigeria signed the document, stating that the portion signed by the government “pertained strictly to economic development and did not mention LGBTQ or same-sex marriage.” The Media Assistant to the Minister insisted that “Bagudu signed an agreement related to a $150 billion trade component, not LGBT issues.”
Additional reports indicate that Nigeria’s endorsement of the Agreement was accompanied by a statement declaring that any provision in the Agreement that is inconsistent with Nigeria's laws would be invalid. In January 2014, President Goodluck Jonathan signed the Anti-Gay Bill into law. The bill criminalized same-sex union, with a 14-year jail term in Nigeria. The present government is trying to claim that since Nigeria has an Anti-Gay law, any portion of the Agreement that deals with adoption of gay rights would not apply to Nigeria. That is the attempt of government to eat its cake and still have it. Since the government knows that there are provisions in the Samoa Agreement that are not consistent with Nigeria's laws, why did the government sign it?
The European Union may argue that the 395-page Samoa Agreement is one document requiring one signature. Once a country signs the document, it has accepted the entire package, which includes the LGBTQ clause. The Samoa Agreement was not produced in sections for countries to cherry-pick what they want to accept or reject. It is a single document that offers economic benefits as well as the adoption of LGBTQ. The EU did not provide a document with options of choice. It is either accepted as a whole or rejected.
Some Nigerians conclude that the government is not sincere on this matter. Our people have a saying that what one is not going to eat, he should not sniff. Since the Nigerian government was aware that the document contained portions offensive to national law, it should have steered clear off it. According to reports, South Africa, which has a liberal position on gay rights, has not signed the Samoa Agreement.
Of critical importance to Christians is point No. 10 in the agenda of Alice Bailey, which says, “get Governments to make all these law and get the Church to endorse these changes.” Even satanists recognize the spiritual authority of the Church. It was reported that Alice Bailey told her disciples that “whatever change you implement on the ground, get the Church to endorse it; get the Church to officially cede ground.” The Church endorsed Buhari in 2015, and he became the president of Nigeria. Again, in 2023, Church leaders endorsed Tinubu and he became the president. Christians must be on the lookout that no Church leader endorses the document that the Tinubu government has signed. Church leaders must be cautioned against speaking in favour of the action of the government. Nigeria has a law against LGBTQ, and that law must be upheld. Anyone who violates the Anti-Gay law in Nigeria must be jailed according to the law. Whatever has been signed by the present government must be unsigned.
1). 1 John 3: 8
In the name of Jesus, destroy every work and manipulation of the devil to defile and deprave Nigeria with sexual perversion.
2). Isaiah 5: 20 – 24
Decree judgment upon every politician and government official in Nigeria that is violating the Anti-Gay law. Pray that the existing law against LGBTQ in Nigeria shall be executed against them.
3). Acts 8: 18 – 21
Pray that greedy Church leaders will not accept money to compromise the spiritual authority of the Church, to endorse sexual perversion.
4). Hab. 1: 2 – 4
Pray that angry voices shall arise all over the country in condemnation of the action of the government.
5). Ps. 24:7–10
Pray that the spiritual gates of Nigeria shall be shut against LGBTQ and all the Globalists' agenda.
6). Ps. 94: 20–23
Pray that God will trouble and humble all the countries promoting LGBTQ, that the pride of all those foreign governments shall be broken, in the name of Jesus.
7). Isaiah 60:21–22
Pray for the spirit of holiness and righteousness to fill Nigeria from one end to the other.

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 1st - Sunday 7th July 2024
And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid. (1 Sam. 17: 24).
Last week, during the nightly intercessory prayers for Nigeria at the National Altar, a distinguished professor, while leading prayers, lamented what she called the “poverty of courage” in the land. Evil, corruption, unrighteousness, injustice, and perversion have pervaded the land because “men” are no longer standing as “men”.
In every culture, it is the responsibility of men to ensure that things do not go wrong. It is men that stand to defend their land and their families. It is the responsibility of men to ensure that foreigners do not invade their land and hold them captive. It is the responsibility of men to ensure there is food for their families and there is justice in their society. Men stand at critical periods to defend the values and virtues of their society. Even in the face of death, men will stand. That is the reason for the saying that “a man must do what a man must do”.
The generation in which the men are not willing to fight ends up in captivity. Their wives are ravished and dehumanized while their children end up as slaves. If men fail to do what men ought to do, the society suffers, and predators will take over.
A few years ago, at the height of Buhari’s misadventure in power, an article entitled “WHERE ARE THE MEN?” was published. It remains a research topic for sociologists and anthropologists what happened to Nigerian men that such an entity was permitted to remain in power for eight years. The question, “Where are the men,” remains germane today as it was under Buhari. The insensitivity and profligacy of government should incense any man of noble birth. Governance in Nigeria is not difficult. The problem is the corruption and recklessness of the political class; the brazen recklessness right in the face, saying, “What can you do about it?”
Two politicians were so impudent they dared Nigerians to do their worst. Former Governor of Jigawa state, Sule Lamido, said in a widely circulated report that “Nigerians are too poor to revolt.”. He went further to say, “They don’t have the capacity to unite because they are burdened by poverty. We have taken away from them, their dignity, their self-esteem, their pride and self-worth, so that they cannot even organize.” That was coming from a supposed compatriot, unless he was being sarcastic of his own class.
A former state governor, Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, said, “we steal because no one stones us”. He too went further to say, “If you see a thief and you allow him to be stealing, what have you done? You have stoned nobody; that is why we are stealing. Who have you stoned? They came out and started dancing, oil subsidy, oil subsidy. They told you that they stole N2.3trn, what did you do?”
Other politicians do not talk because they are busy eating, and it is bad manners to talk while you are eating. They are eating the future, the comfort, and the well-being of their fellow citizens. Nigeria is one of the wealthiest countries in the world by virtue of its abundant natural resources. Unfortunately, its people are officially the poorest, having become the poverty capital of the world. The problem of the country is not poverty of wealth, it is poverty of courage. Rather than stand and defend justice and truth, the men would rather grumble and adjust to the pain.
This poverty of courage is more keenly felt inside the Church. A few years ago, some reckless and ungodly entities took control of the apex body of Christianity in Nigeria. They were brazenly corrupt and reckless. The National Christian Elders Forum challenged them, but the Elders were not supported by many of the Christians who felt that they were causing disunity in the body of Christ. In effect, if you see something, say nothing! One individual summoned courage to attend the meeting of the highest organ in the Church and petitioned against corruption in the leadership. He demanded immediate action. Rather than consider issues based on truth and righteousness, he was condemned by some Christians and vilified for exposing evil. It is the same people complaining today of suffering in the land. If evil is permitted to thrive within the Church, what would happen to the world?
At present, scandal upon scandal rocks the leadership of many Christian assemblies. What has the Christian community done? If Christians, who are the light of the world, cannot confront the works of darkness in the Church, who is going to help Nigeria? If there is one group that most suffers the poverty of courage in Nigeria, it is the Christian community. Some Christians hide cowardice under a veil of prayers. There is time to pray, and there is time to act. The word of God says that “faith without works is dead.” The Nigeria Church is rich in faith but poor in works. There must be a balance.
Christians in Nigeria must not be like Israelites in the valley of Elah. According to 1 Sam. 17: 24, when “all the men” saw one man, “all the men” fled, until a boy arrived on the scene. From human perspective, there were many men, and one boy who had been sent to deliver bread to his older siblings at the battlefront. However, from the perspective of Heaven, there was only one man on that battlefield - David. All the others were boys. It takes men to fight battles. It takes men to confront issues. It is men that stand against evil and defend the truth. A man does what a man must do. Where are the men in Nigeria? Are there no men in the land?
God forbid that the men meant to stand in this season for the land have joined the “japa syndrome”. As the condition in the country worsens, many people are fleeing to foreign countries. It is like a man whose father’s house is on fire and he promptly salvages a few of his properties and moves to his neighbour’s house. Whom is he expecting to put out the fire in his father’s house? If all Nigerian men had purposed to confront the issues in the country, the situation would not have got this bad, and there would have been no reason for anyone to bail out.
Some observers believe that Nigerians are under a spell. The example was cited of a former Head of State who imported sorcerers into the country to place the people under a spell. One of the reported acts of the sorcerers was to obtain 1,000 mice, and in Abuja, put out the eyes of the mice, and tie their snout with threads before burying them. The purpose was that Nigerians would neither see nor say anything so long as that individual was in power. There was another report that some sorcerers were put on a plane and flown over the country, making incantations against Nigerians. Still, another report was received of a group of fishermen in a riverine community who saw a helicopter hover over the water and drop some bundles into the sea. After the helicopter had departed, the fishermen found the dropped parcels to be the religious books of a people who have since aimed to dip their book in the sea.
In view of the foregoing, one may not really blame Nigerian men for the display of nationwide timidity. Maybe it is the spell and the enchantment working in the land. If that is the case, the solution is still the Church. There must a be mobilization for prayers to counter the hypnosis, docility, and disunity in the land. However, the first requirement for the Church is righteousness. To wage this warfare, the Church must return to righteousness. It is written, “the righteous are bold as a lion.” If there is poverty of courage in the land, it implies that righteous men are few in the Church. If the men are righteous, they will be bold.
1). Prov. 28:1
Pray for the spirit of boldness to descend upon Christian men to defend truth and righteousness in the country.
2). 2 Tim. 1:7
Plead the Blood of Jesus to nullify the effect of sorcery upon Nigerians in the face of oppression.
3). 2 Cor. 10:3 - 5
Come against every blood sacrifice and satanic ritual employed by wicked rulers to gain and remain in power in Nigeria. Decree that all such evil powers shall be neutralized in the name of Jesus Christ.
4). Ex. 22: 18
Pronounce judgment on all satanic priests and priestesses that service satanic altars in Nigeria.
5). Matthew 16: 19
Bind and dispell the demons empowering wicked and corrupt rulers in the country.
6). Isaiah 27: 1
Call upon the sore, great, and mighty sword of God against the spirit of leviathan and all its forces in Nigeria. Set Nigeria free from the influence of leviathan.
7). Isaiah 59:15–19
Pray that the righteousness of Christ shall deliver Nigeria and execute judgment on all the enemies of truth and righteousness in the land.

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 24th - Sunday 30th June 2024
This prayer call analyses the impact of political ideologies on Nigeria. There are currently two conflicting political ideologies contesting for supremacy in the constitution. The consequence of the contest is the dysfunctionality of the Nigerian state. It is in the interest of Nigerians that this contest is resolved in favour of the political ideology upon which Nigeria was established as a country.
Amongst the Yoruba people, if a parent wants to punish an erring child, or a group of people is threatened with painful punishment, the common term used is, “I will do ‘seria’ for you.” Yoruba people understand “seria” to mean excruciating pain, punishment, and affliction. What many people might not know is that seria is not a Yoruba word, but an adaption of the Arabic word “sharia”. To the Yoruba mind, seria connotes pain. A translator rendered seria to mean, “I will show you pepper”.
In some Yoruba ethnic groups, [sh] is pronounced as [s], like the “shibboleth” in Judges 12: 6. That is how "sharia" is typically realized as “seria”.
The issue is this, Nigerians, at present, are in agony and penury, but only a few people understand the root of the problem. In the past twenty-five years, the country has been steadily marching backwards, while the intensity of the affliction on the populace has assumed infernal proportions. In this country in which the monthly salary of a university graduate was less than N500, a few years ago, N500 can no longer buy a loaf of bread. What went wrong? A political ideology that “peppers” people was illegally injected into the constitution of Nigeria. This debilitating political ideology hijacks sovereignty from the people and, under the guise of religion, concentrates it in the hands of feudal lords. They claim proprietary rights over the freedom of the people and the resources of the land. While they live in affluence and indulgence, they subject the masses to “pepper”.
The controversial Emir of Kano, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, once said, “Zamfara started Sharia in Nigeria, today it has the highest poverty rate”. He went further to say, at the Mo Ibrahim Forum in Marrakesh, Morocco, that it was time for people to realize that “this is all deception, this is all politics, this is not religion; it is about politicians appropriating religion as a discourse for getting into power”.
Anyone who wishes to disagree with Alhaji Sanusi should consider the condition of the 12-sharia states in Nigeria. They are the emblems of poverty, human deprivation, illiteracy, violence, and death. That is the spiritual influence emanating from the 1999 Constitution foisted upon Nigeria by some power-hungry politicians under the garb of military uniform, traditional stools, and under the guise of political activism. They have one thing in common, they believe that the national treasury is their petty cash box. They are as greedy as hell.
If Nigerians do not understand the manipulation of these self-seeking elites and take steps to stop them, they will suck the life out of the citizens. Already, they have succeeded in driving multitudes of citizens out of their fatherland. The injection of sharia into the constitution has nothing to do with religion. As Alhaji Sanusi indicated, it is the political manipulation of religion for cultural and political domination. The National Christian Elders Forum has written extensively about the politics of religion as the bane of the Nigerian society.
Nigeria was established as a country with democracy and parliamentarian system of government as its national ideology. The founding fathers crafted a constitution that enabled the constituent units to thrive and develop according to their individual pace. There was an attempt to introduce sharia ideology at independence, but the move was rejected. That was the reason Sardauna introduced the Penal Code for northern Nigeria. Instead of promoting democracy and equality in the land, some political hawks sought the opportunity to play the politics of religion to dominate political power. They have largely succeeded with the 2023 elections. That election was not a democratic exercise. It was sharia. The ballot box did not produce the president. It was the court. Under democracy, the ballot box produces winners at elections. This might be one reason why much pepper is following the 2023 election.
That is not all. Nigeria gained independence as a common law country, which presupposes that the judicial and legal officers in the country would be common law lawyers. Under Buhari, both the Chief Justice of Nigeria and the Attorney General were sharia lawyers. It was an aberration. At present, the contest for supremacy between democracy and the sharia ideology in Nigeria is swinging dangerously in favour of sharia. This is the reason Nigerians are being peppered seriously. Therefore, people should understand where the pepper is coming from. It is a manipulation of religion for political domination.
Undoubtedly, apologists and beneficiaries of sharia in the constitution might argue that talking about sharia in the constitution is an infringement on their freedom of worship. Such people should be reminded that while there were a series of constitutional conferences that agreed on democracy as the national ideology of Nigeria, there was no single conference that agreed on sharia in the constitution of Nigeria. It was an imposition done with impunity.
Under the circumstances, Nigerians should focus all their attention on resolving the conflicting ideologies in the constitution in favour of democracy. The country must return to a constitution that enshrines democracy as the only national ideology, because that is the basis upon which Nigeria was established as a country. This is the only way leaders can be held accountable and the resources of the country utilized for the common good.
Interestingly, like Mikhail Gorbachev of the Soviet Union, President Tinubu is toying with the idea of returning the country to regionalism. This is a tentative step in the right direction. However, there should be strident calls for a constitution that is not an adaptation of Decree 24, which produced the 1999 Constitution. There are two options to handle the constitutional impasse:
1. A return to the 1963 Republican Constitution (with some minor amendments), or
2. A fresh constitution negotiated by the indigenous ethnic nationalities.
All the elites, labour leaders, academics, professional bodies, and the youths should raise a clarion call for a new constitution. The seria peppering Nigerians is coming from the 1999 Constitution (as amended). The sponsors of the 1999 Constitution have seriously peppered Nigerians. The pepper in the eyes of the people is too much.
May God have mercy upon Nigerians.
1). Ps. 102: 13
Plead with God to arise and have mercy upon Nigerians.
2). Ps. 133
Pray for grace that Nigerians shall be united and demand, in one accord, a new constitution. Pray against every division crafted by the forces of darkness.
3). Exodus 2: 23 – 25
Pray that God will have respect for the groanings and cries of Nigerians.
4). Exodus 3: 7 – 10
Pray that God will raise a Moses for Nigeria, who will rally the people and lead them out of the present bondage.
5). Isaiah 28: 14-15, 18-21
Pray that every diabolical power that the sponsors of sharia in Nigeria depend upon, shall be nullified by the Blood of Jesus.
6). Isaiah 7: 7
A prophecy circulated on social media that a massive mobilization of forces of destruction is waiting to be unleashed upon Nigeria. Pray and decree that it shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. Bind all the forces darkness that are involved, and cast them out.
7). Col. 2: 14 - 15; Rom. 4: 16 – 17
Pull down the 1999 Constitution in the spirit realm and nail it, with other obnoxious ordinances in the country, to the cross of Jesus. Call forth a new constitution that will give Nigeria peace, progress, and prosperity.

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 17th - Sunday 23rd June 2024
For the purposes of watchfulness and intercession, National Prayer Altar is sharing the revelation below. The source of the revelation is credible, and the goal of sharing it is to destroy the works of Satan and establish the government of the kingdom of God upon Nigeria.
In my night seasons, I was made to see a large rectangular shaped table situated inside a rectangular shaped body of water. I was made to understand that this was the ocean, and that I was seeing into the marine kingdom. Inside this water, there were people seated on either length of this table. Outside the water also, there were people seated on either length of the water.
Inside the water, on one side of the table (the right side) sat former presidents (of Nigeria), politicians, and many “babalawo” (chief voodoo men); they were all dressed in white. Standing closely behind them were powerful businessmen and SANs (eminent judges) in Nigeria. I was made to know that those men standing behind represented various sectors of the society … commerce, education, etc.
On the other side of the table were some pastors, ministers of the gospel. They were seated facing the politicians and the “babalawo”. Those who stood behind the pastors were far from the table and had no idea of what exactly was transpiring at the table, neither did they see those that the pastors were dealing with.
The meeting was called because the people at the table were not satisfied with the present government and wanted to take the mantle of office from the present leader. The meeting was clearly set in the marine world.
The politicians were the godfathers and power holders in the country. The pastors seated were their collaborators, the successors to the GO’s and the current leading ministers of the gospel in the country. They were the “tier two” ministers. The well-known men of God in the country were the “tier one”.
I was made to understand that the men of God seen at present as “fathers” had become mere figure heads and social media celebrities. They were rich and celebrated but had absolutely no power again in the spirit realm, either in the Kingdom of Light or in the kingdom of darkness.
The powerful men who stood behind the politicians were not exactly concerned with the well-being of the country. They only wanted access to the raw power available at the table.
The most powerful man on the table was seated with the politicians and he had a white fetish cloth around his shoulders and amulets on his wrists. He and the other politicians and godfathers were preparing to handover to the powerful businessmen and SANs behind them who were already fully involved and fully aware of the practices at the table.
The people behind the pastors had no clear idea of what the pastors were involved in. They were however following the pastors intently. There was a particular pastor who was always standing up from the table to go and talk to the people and come back to the table.
All the pastors had Bibles in their hands. Some placed theirs on the table, while some held theirs in their hands, but they all had it. It was mandatory. However, that was not their source of power. They were extremely unconcerned with anything that had to do with God, but they had a huge following in the Church - followers who followed blindly. The pastors were hard eyed and ravenous for the power, influence, and affluence that was available at the table.
Somewhere else, not too far from there, I was taken to a church premises. The church had lots and lots of buildings and so many activities were going on … there were podcasts, recordings, services, and ceremonies. There was one ceremony a bishop was having, and food was being shared, however the man was a fetish man. The church was in such a disarray. Everywhere was dirty and dusty. Some buildings had large holes in them, some were dilapidated, but no one seemed concerned about the state of the church. Each was just doing his own thing.
Somewhere in the sky, just above the church premises, were a group of Apostles and Prophets and Pastors, who were meeting to intercede and make decisions concerning the nation. Some of them were there physically, some were not, because they don’t live in Nigeria. However they all seemed to be physically present at the meeting. They were not a part of the activities of the church, they were above and beyond. They had put structures in place in the spirit realm ten years ahead. They had handled the problems of the nation in the spirit, and were already making plans, years ahead of everyone else.
At some point, this company was offered the food that was being served in the church. They turned it down with such disdain. They saw it as a defilement and a distraction to the work they were doing.
I rushed to tell them of the meeting in the water, that I had just seen, but they didn’t seem surprised at all. They said it was not news to them. Apparently, they had handled it and taken care of it in the spirit realm. This company of Apostles, Prophets and Pastors was working ahead of everyone, and they had access to the raw power of the Living God in Christ Jesus.
This is what I was shown…
2nd June 2024
1). Job 12:22; Daniel 2:22.
Thank God for not leaving His saints in the dark. Thank Him for His light that brings deliverance.
2). Isaiah 5:5; Malachi 3:2-3.
Pray that God would take away the covering and the strength of all false pastors. Let the power of manipulation and hypnotism be destroyed from the people. Pray that the house of God be cleansed & purified by fire.
3). Colossians 1:16-19; 1Chr. 29:11.
Fasten the government of Jesus Christ over the soul of Nigeria. Jesus has pre-eminence over all things in creation. Ask Jesus to fill the entirety of Nigeria.
4). John 2:13-16; Matthew 18:18.
By the authority of Jesus, overturn all the tables of wickedness set against the counsel of God for Nigeria. Disannul the counsel of occult and demonic tables raised against Nigeria. Bind and cast out all demon spirits disturbing the peace and destiny of Nigeria.
5). Luke 10:19; Matthew 28:18.
Collapse and crush the powers of the tables that have risen against Nigeria; the powers of the tables operating from the waters, from the air, from the land. Cast down and destroy every power that is trading the destiny of Nigeria.
6). Luke 21:15; Job 22:28.
Unlock the marine and the freshwaters; the grasslands, the forests, the mountains, and the deserts. Set the stars, the moon and the sun over Nigeria free from all evil occupation, all evil configuration, all evil incantations and manipulations against the plans and purposes of Jesus Christ for Nigeria.
7). Isaiah 8:10; Hebrews 12:29).
Overturn, break and destroy every table negotiating, bargaining, exchanging, and trading the soul of Nigeria and Nigerians. Break their stronghold over Nigeria and turn their counsel to nothing by the finished work of Jesus Christ. Let every such demonic power table be consumed by the fire of God!

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 10th - Sunday 16th June 2024
Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors, there is safety (Prov. 11: 14).
We commend the leaders and members of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), with all their affiliate bodies, for rising to the challenge of defending the rights of the ordinary citizen in Nigeria. The recent nationwide strike of the labour should be a wake-up call to a self-seeking and heartless political class, that it can no longer continue to take Nigerians for granted.
In the prayer call of 25th – 31st May 2024, we carried an article entitled “WHO OWNS NIGERIA?” In that prayer call, we highlighted the 1999 Constitution (as amended) as the bane of the Nigerian society. We further highlighted four areas in which the 1999 Constitution (as amended) negatively impacts Nigeria.
The 3rd – 4th June 2024 warning strike of NLC aims at negotiating better wages for Nigerian workers. This is a noble objective, but it falls far from the goal of making life easy for all Nigerians. It does not matter how much salary increase labour leaders are able to negotiate, inflation will wipe it off as soon as it arrives. Nigeria is no longer productive, because it runs a dysfunctional constitution that chokes the life out of the constituent units in the country and prevents them from working. Therefore, any salary increase at this time will harm the economy. It will be too much money chasing too few goods.
There was a time in Nigeria when the monthly salary of a university graduate was N484.00. At that time, monthly rent for a three-bedroom flat was N200.00 in some cities, while a brand-new car was N4,804. This was in 1984. Today, both the rent and the car are priced in millions while the monthly salary of the graduate must be in six figures for it to make sense. Even for a graduate earning a monthly salary of N100,000 today, he will have to make do with the minimum basics of life to survive the month.
Therefore, when NLC and TUC repeatedly propose certain figures as new national minimum wage, what do they think would happen to the economy? Are we going to purchase a loaf of bread for N100,000? If labour is piqued with the irresponsible legislators who allocate to themselves humungous monthly salaries and allowances, the solution is not a tit-for-tat humongous salary increase across board. An eye-for-an-eye will make everyone blind.
There is a better way to handle the problem, and it will not cost the labour unions any extra effort, but it will guarantee maximum benefit for everyone in the country. The same nationwide strike and shutting down of services (excluding essential services) is all that is required, and far-reaching rewards will accrue to all the citizens.
The problem of Nigeria is not lack of money. Nigeria is a stupendously rich country, but its sovereignty has been hijacked. At present, Nigerians are not free citizens in their country. Some faceless forces have hijacked the liberty of the people and turned them into “dhimmis”, second-class citizens, in their country. What labour is doing is akin to slaves going on strike in a sugarcane plantation for better treatment. Even if they obtain the better treatment, they are still slaves. Is it not better to fight for freedom?
The sponsors of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) usurped the sovereign right of Nigerians to give the country a constitution and organize Nigeria according to their wish. Nigerians are suffering today because they did not organize Nigeria in its present manner. It was done by a group of forces, who blatantly lied by claiming that “WE THE PEOPLE” of Nigeria produced the 1999 Constitution (as amended) when, in fact, WE THE PEOPLE knew nothing about it. It is an act of treason. It is that illegitimate constitution that has locked up Nigeria in a cell of poverty and death. This is what NLC and TUC should resolve and not wage increase.
In the prayer call of 25th – 31st March 2024, we highlighted four areas (amongst many others) in which the 1999 Constitution (as amended) is harming Nigerians.
Those four areas are:
1. Insecurity
2. Unemployment and poverty
3. Religious intolerance
4. Corruption
If leaders of labour could concentrate on getting a new Constitution for Nigeria, they would resolve these four harmful points, as well as the many unnamed others. Then, there would be no need for any salary increase. Employment opportunities will blossom. There would be peace and safety all over the country. The cases of insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, and terrorism will die a natural death. Productivity will increase all over the country and each constituent part will generate its electricity and provide effective transportation system for the people. The quality of education will improve, and it will be free. Quality healthcare will be accessible to all citizens and the brain drain of medical personnel will cease. The cost of foodstuff will drop as farming activities will resume in full scale all over the country. All these will make life easier for all the citizens.
There are two ways to go about the new Constitution:
1. There could be a demand for an immediate return to the 1963 Republican Constitution. This can be achieved within a few months with minor amendments. A transition program can be put in place for the current political office holders till 2027 when their tenure will end. If the country can revert to the Independence Anthem, why can it not revert to the Independence Constitution?
2. The other option is for a conference of ethnic nationalities to be convened for the various constituent units to renegotiate Nigeria and develop a new constitution from their negotiations.
All these can be achieved in 2024.
The fraudulent and illegitimate 1999 Constitution (as amended) acknowledges in its Section 14 (2)a that “sovereignty belongs to the people of Nigeria from whom government through this Constitution derives all its powers and authority;” This being the case, labour should reclaim the sovereignty of the people over Nigeria so that the country can be organized by the people in a manner that will benefit the citizens. The sovereignty of Nigeria has been hijacked. This is the reason votes no longer count and courts have replaced the ballot box.
If NLC and TUC are truly desirous of helping Nigerian workers, they should focus on resolving the constitutional dispute in the country and leave wage increase. Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.
God bless Nigeria.
If this prayer call makes sense to you, kindly share it until it gets to leaders of NLC and TUC.
1). Prov. 11: 14
Pray for Godly counsel to guide Nigerians in positions of authority and influence so that they can use their positions to lead the country aright.
2). 2 Samuel 15: 31; Ezekiel 11: 2
Pray that God will overturn every evil and wicked counsel that is working against the peace and progress of Nigeria. Pray that God will silence all evil speakers within and outside Nigeria.
3). Isaiah 28: 14 – 15
Pray that every covenant that some political leaders have entered into with forces of darkness, that makes them insensitive to the suffering of the people, shall be annulled, in the name of Jesus Christ.
4). 2 Cor. 11: 13 – 15
Pray for the swift judgment of God on Church leaders who entered into covenant with marine spirits and traffic with the occult while claiming to be servants of Jesus Christ.
5). Isaiah 27: 1
Take authority over the spirit of leviathan and bind its power and influence over Nigeria. Pray that the judgment of God shall come swiftly upon leviathan, and it shall be cut off from Nigeria.
6). Isaiah 25: 6 – 8
Pray that all Nigerians shall arise in one accord and demand a new constitution for the country. Pray that the veil and the spell placed upon the country shall be destroyed.
7). Col. 2: 14 – 15
Decree and nullify every constitution, decree, treaty, ordinance, byelaw, and any regulation in Nigeria that causes oppression, suppression, and regression of the country and the people. Amen.

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 3rd - Sunday 9th June 2024
Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him. (Eccl. 8: 6).
God is Sovereign. For every purpose upon earth, God has a time and a judgment. Once the calendar of God starts running, it can neither be interrupted nor abrogated. There are instances in which God gives man an idea of His calendar. A situation might not seem pleasant or palatable, but it could fit into God’s eternal purpose. Under such conditions, it does not matter how much prayer, fasting, or cries one offers, the calendar will run its full course.
However, because God is sovereign, He might also decide to break into His calendar and accelerate events, as indicated in Matt. 24:22: "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened". Whenever God breaks into His own calendar, it is amazing grace.
In His dealings with nations, God establishes programs of action to purge, prepare, or preserve the people, for His purpose. We see two examples of such dealings with Israel in which the nation went through a calendar of fire to prepare and purge the people to fulfill God’s purpose.
That is where it gets interesting. Once God commences His calendar, its termination or fullness of time is left to the people. If they are alert, they will terminate the calendar at its fulness of time. However, if the people are rebellious or careless, they could extend the calendar. This is true for nations as well as for individuals.
In Daniel 9: 2, Daniel wrote, "In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem." Daniel was on the alert, waiting for the seventy years to be accomplished for the Jews in Babylon. He did not pray before the seventy years were completed, because he knew it would not work. The prophetic calendar had to run its full course.
Daniel was still on his knees when the answer came from heaven. "And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation" (Dan. 9: 20-21). Heaven was waiting for the nation to arise and demand a termination of the calendar of judgment. Only one man understood the times and the seasons. That single individual ended the calamity for the entire nation.
We find another example in Gen. 15: 13. God told Abraham, "... Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years" The calendar of God for Israel in Egypt was 400 years. They spent 30 extra years. When Moses started stirring in the 390th year, they drove Moses away with, "who made thee a prince and a judge over us?" Moses fled to Midian for forty years. That was what brought their servitude in Egypt to 430 years. They extended the calendar by 30 years.
There is an interesting historical account in the public domain that concerns the calendar of God for Nigeria. In that account, Uthman Dan Fodio was shown a vision in which he was told that the empire which he had built on blood would last for 200 years. That was in 1804. In 2004, the Caliphate publicly celebrated its 200 years of existence. What does that tell us? Where were the Daniels in the land to mark the calendar? Twenty years after, in 2024, the throne is still exerting an influence over Nigeria and exercising power in the politics, economy, religion, as well as the sponsorship of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
At the dot of the 200 years, God made sure that the throne celebrated the calendar for the whole world to know that the time was up for them. It was a valedictory celebration. Unfortunately, Nigerians did not catch the signal.
The Church leaders who, as the gatekeepers over the land, should have given direction to the people, were consumed with the vanity and covetousness of the world. Consequently, they could neither discern the times nor the seasons God appointed for Nigeria. As a matter of fact, when some of them were reminded about the importance of the season, they were offended. Because there was no understanding of visions, the people continued to perish. Prov. 29: 18
Certain thrones are still speaking in Nigeria while, in the calendar of God, they are dead thrones. Their time has run out. It is therefore not strange that death has filled the land. Dead thrones cannot dispense life, only death.
In a previous prayer call, it was mentioned that the currency to pay for empires is blood. Every empire is built on the foundation of blood. Once the duration of an empire expires, if the beneficiaries do not want it to die, they must pay double the amount of blood that was paid to establish it in the first instance. The calendar of an empire ended in 2004, five years later, in 2009, massive bloodshed started in Nigeria. Connect the dots. An empire whose tenure has expired is still tenaciously clinging to power in Nigeria by attempting to double the blood price.
A few months ago, God gave a revelation, that Heaven had ended the tenure of some thrones in Nigeria. However, like Daniel, the people must pray them out so that the demonic Prince of Persia would give way. The major assignment now is to travail in prayer and remind God that His calendar for Nigeria is due. It is 20 years overdue. Gather the wailing women. Call together the mourning women. Jer. 9: 17 - 18. Let them lament the desolation of the land and the breach of the divine calendar.
Let the hosts of heaven mobilize into Nigeria and enforce the divine order. A new light has dawned for this country. It is the era of the Son of God. "Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up ye everlasting doors, that the King of Glory" may enter Nigeria.
Nigeria, arise and shine, for your light is come. The glory of God is risen upon Nigeria.
1. Dan. 2: 20 – 22
Thank God for revealing to His people the mystery of His calendar for Nigeria. Thank Him for changing the times and the seasons for the country.
2. Dan. 9: 2
Remind God that while His calendar for Israel in Babylon was 70 years, His calendar for Nigeria was 200 years. Call upon God to end the desolation of Nigeria just as He ended the desolation of Israel in Babylon.
3. Ez. 32: 18 – 27
Pray that every dead throne that is still speaking in Nigeria be dismantled and buried in 2024.
4. Isaiah 49: 24 – 26
Pray that every evil structure that is sustaining oppression, regression, and suppression in Nigeria be dismantled in 2024.
5. Rev. 12: 10 – 11
Plead the Blood of Jesus to silence and nullify the power of every blood that has been shed as sacrifice to keep Nigeria in bondage to dead thrones.
6. Rev. 12: 7 – 9
Pray that the hosts of God shall be released by God into Nigeria to drive Satan and his forces out of the country the way they were driven out of heaven.
7. Isaiah 60: 1 – 2 Proclaim the glory of the Lord over Nigeria.

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 27th May - Sunday 2nd June 2024
In furtherance of its efforts at providing solutions to the challenges facing Nigeria, the National Prayer Altar, in addition to its daily prayers for Nigeria, organized a conference to provide practical solutions to the problems of the country.
At the end of the Prayer Conference, the participants agreed as follows:
1. The 1999 Constitution (as amended) is a major obstacle to the peace, progress, and prosperity of Nigeria.
2. The Conference was unanimous that the 1999 Constitution (as amended) fails every test of a sovereign document for a federal system of government and should be decommissioned without further delay.
3. The Conference disagreed with the amendment exercise currently being undertaken by the National Assembly and insists that a fraudulent and illegitimate document cannot be amended; it must be discarded and replaced.
4. The Conference also stated unequivocally that a constitution can only be negotiated, not legislated into existence the way the 1979 Constitution was done via Military Decree 104 and Military Decree 24 for the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
5. Participants called on the ethnic nationalities to fulfil their responsibility and take steps to give Nigeria new constitutional arrangements.
6. The Conference acknowledged that the 1963 Republican Constitution still stands as the only authentic constitution of Nigeria in existence, having been negotiated at several conferences in Lagos and in London, before it was finally approved in July of 1963 at the Constitutional Conference in Lagos.
7. The Conference also acknowledged that the 1963 Constitution was only suspended by Gen. Ironsi’s Decree 1 of 1966; not abrogated.
8. The Conference affirmed that it was an error for the Military to have introduced the 1979 and 1999 Constitutions while the 1963 Constitution was still in place.
9. The Conference appreciated the efforts of the Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self-Determination (NINAS) in the past twenty-five years to resolve the constitutional dispute in Nigeria occasioned by the illegitimate 1999 Constitution (as amended).
10. The Conference acknowledged the five-fold proposition of NINAS as a veritable roadmap for the consideration of the ethnic nationalities to resolve the constitutional impasse in Nigeria.
11. The Conference agreed that new constitutional arrangements can be introduced in 2024 while a transition can be put in place for the government, till 2027.
12. The Conference lamented the apathy of intellectuals and religious leaders in the country to issues that threaten the corporate existence of Nigeria notwithstanding the genocide that has been unleashed on many ethnic nationalities.
13. The Conference affirmed that the ethnic nationalities do not require the permission of the government to meet and produce new constitutional arrangements for the country.
14. It was equally affirmed that the role of the National Assembly is to make laws and not to produce a Constitution. The responsibility of producing a constitution rests on the indigenous ethnic nationalities.
15. The Conference concluded by calling on all Nigerians to arise and demand new constitutional arrangements for the country, to replace the 1999 Constitution (as amended) which was imposed on Nigeria by the Military.
1. Gal. 5: 1
Pray and reject every instrument of bondage imposed upon Nigeria. It is for liberty that Christ has made up free. Reject before the Almighty God the 1999 Constitution (as amended) which was introduced to place Nigerians under bondage.
2. Isaiah 10: 27
Pray that the anointing of the Almighty God shall destroy the yoke of bondage placed upon Nigeria through the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
3. Ps. 2: 7 – 9
Demand of Heaven that the 1999 Constitution (as amended) be decommissioned in 2024.
4. Matt. 16: 19
Take authority over the forces of darkness sustaining the 1999 Constitution (as amended) to further the program of the kingdom of darkness. Break the hold of Satan and his forces over Nigeria.
5. Ps. 9: 15 - 20
Pray that all the foreign nations that have ganged up against Nigeria shall fall into their pits of bondage and destruction.
6. Isaiah 51: 9 – 10
Pray for righteous indignation and a stirring in Nigeria against every instrument and structure of oppression and bondage.
7. Rom. 4: 16 – 17
Call forth a new constitution for Nigeria, which will promote righteousness, justice, equality, and fairness in the country.

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 20th - Sunday 26th May 2024
In 1 Chro. 12:32, the Bible talks about “the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.” Every season has its peculiar characteristics that demand skillful understanding of how it should be handled. “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” (Eccl. 3:1). There is a time for war and a time for peace; there is a to love and a time to hate. How one handles a time of war would be different from how one would handle a time of peace. The peculiarity of each season demands wisdom, insight, and foresight.
That Nigeria is in crisis is no longer news. That it stinks globally due to corruption and unrighteousness is neither a secret. The issue now is, what should be done to restore normalcy? What does this season demand?
Several intellectuals and well-meaning citizens have identified the number one obstacle to peace, progress, and prosperity of Nigeria: the fraudulent and illegitimate 1999 Constitution (as amended). Many analysts have dissected the 1999 Constitution and authoritatively affirmed that, so long as that document is in force as the sovereign document of Nigeria, the country is not going anywhere.
With this awareness, which is in the public domain, it beats the imagination how a country of over 200 million people could fold the hands and allow the situation to persist. Nigeria neither lacks intellectuals nor is destitute of human rights activists, yet a Constitution responsible for daily bloodshed in the land, for the penury of the people and discord amongst the citizens has been allowed to operate for twenty-five years.
This season demands the rising of all citizens in Nigeria to unanimously demand that the 1999 Constitution (as amended) be decommissioned and set aside. New constitutional arrangements are required urgently to initiate the rebuilding of the country. The so-called “amendment” exercise by the National Assembly is nothing but a political distraction. The current exercise would be the 6th alteration to the 1999 Constitution (as amended) without any positive result in the country.
The political class, which profits enormously from the dysfunctional constitution, would not be willing to support new constitutional arrangements. It is not a secret that most of the politicians place their selfish interests above that of the country. However, they are able to persist only for as long as the people permit it. The illegitimate 1999 Constitution (as amended) acknowledges in its Section 14 (2)a that “sovereignty belongs to the people of Nigeria from whom government through this Constitution derives all its powers and authority.” If sovereignty belongs to the people, why would the politicians not listen to the people? It is because the people have not spoken. Individuals and groups are speaking, but "the people" have not spoken.
If Nigerians are tired of suffering, it is time for the people to speak and demand new constitutional arrangements for the country. The 1999 Constitution (as amended) has been given 25 years to operate. That should be enough. The people should organize themselves to raise their voices all over the land against oppression, suppression, and regression.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) should be congratulated for taking up the case of workers in the land, by demanding wage reviews. This is commendable, but it does not provide the answer that this season requires. The season does not demand salary increase. Rather, it is calling for a complete overhaul of governance. It does not matter how much wage increase NLC is able to negotiate, inflation will soon wipe it off. There was a time in this country when the monthly salary of a university graduate was N484.00. A brand-new car was sold for N4,804.00, while a three-bedroom flat could be rented at N200.00 per month. This was in the 80s. Today, all those goods and services are transacted in millions of Naira.
The current season in Nigeria is calling for new constitutional arrangements to renegotiate Nigeria. Why should a Federation have only one constitution? Each federating unit, whether it is state or region, should have its constitution, which it will use to negotiate its position within the union. As of today, there is no union. There is only a geographical area held together at gunpoint. If NLC, as the official representative of the Nigerian workers, is truly desirous of solving the problem of the workers, it should drop the agitation for salary increase and demand new constitutional arrangements for Nigeria.
The combination of the voice of the Nigeria Labour Congress with that of the other trade/professional unions like ASUU, NBA, TUC, NASSU, NMA, NUJ, MAN, NUT, etc, and the voice of the ethnic nationalities will dismantle every resistance to new constitutional arrangements for Nigeria. The people have suffered enough.
Nigerians are not poor people requiring salary increase. They are freeborns whose sovereignty has been hijacked by hostile forces for the purposes of racial, cultural, and political domination. Therefore, the focus of Nigerians should be on regaining their sovereignty and liberty as a people. Consequently, agitating for salary increase while ignoring the weighty matter of the liberty of the people is not the perfect way to go for now.
This prayer call is inviting all readers to become an advocate for the liberty of Nigeria. The 1999 Constitution (as amended) has become an instrument of oppression and regression in the country. The land is mourning because the people are in bondage. It is time to break the chains and dismantle the shackles of oppression.
For additional information, readers might wish to refer to two previous prayer calls entitled "WHO OWNS NIGERIA " (Parts 1 & 2). This prayer call should be shared for awareness, mobilization, and prayers. As we pray, we must be prepared to speak out so that the ethnic nationalities will rise as one to put in place new constitutional arrangements for Nigeria.
Our prayers must be backed with action. Faith without works is dead.
1. Ps 124
Thank God for sustaining Nigeria over the years. The attacks and conspiracies against the country have been many, but God in His mercy has sustained the country.
2. Ps. 133
Pray that God will pour the anointing of unity upon all the divergent groups in Nigeria so that they will act as one to give Nigeria new constitutional arrangements.
3. Matt. 15: 13
Pray that God will uproot any individual or group of individuals that stands in the way of new constitutional arrangements for Nigeria. Pray that such opposing persons shall be neutralized by the power of God.
4. Isaiah 8:9–10
Pray that every foreign nation that opposes the liberty and progress of Nigeria shall be broken in pieces and all their conspiracies nullified by God.
5. Luke 10: 18 – 19
Take authority over Satan and all the forces of darkness contending God’s purpose for Nigeria. Take authority over Leviathan and nullify all its powers with the Blood of Jesus Christ.
6. Isaiah 26:9–11
Pronounce judgment on all evil priests and priestesses servicing satanic altars and shrines in the country. Shut down every portal they have opened to hell.
7. Isaiah 32:13–18
Pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit all over Nigeria, for the healing of the land and the restoration of the people.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 13th May - Sunday 19th May 2024
On 11th May 2014, exactly ten years ago, God caused a message to be delivered to His Church, as well as to Nigeria. Amongst other things, the message, tagged "THE WAKE-UP CALL," warned that the All Progressives Congress (APC) should not be permitted to form a government. The message specifically warned Christians in Nigeria, “do not dig the grave of the Church with your thumb”. The message urged Nigerians to beware of APC.
Propelled by the Spirit of God according to Ps. 68: 11, "The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it." that message took on a life of its own and went viral. As it was being shared, it provided light and guidance to Nigerians. Eventually, APC discovered what was going on and approached a prominent Church leader in Nigeria to counter and nullify the message. The Church leader consented via a letter on 3rd October 2014. He described the message as, “wickedly false, unsubstantiated, ill-conceived and borne out of mischief.”
Interestingly, the same Church leader had earlier endorsed the message. After the visit from APC delegation, he instructed those who had the CD of the message to dispose of it. His position was strengthened by the APC, which appointed a pastor from his denomination as its Vice-Presidential candidate and used the appointment to campaign that the party had no agenda of religious intolerance.
Following the intervention of that Church leader, some influential Christians went all out to campaign for “CHANGE”, and Muhammadu Buhari became President of Nigeria. Nigerians can now look back, after ten years of the WAKE-UP CALL, and review the consequences of the action of that church leader.
As a direct consequence of that letter, millions of Nigerians have allegedly been murdered in cold blood. Hajia Kalthoum Alumbe Jutami, the Hausa female Emancipator, has claimed in her messages that over seven million Hausa people were murdered in the eight years of President Muhammadu Buhari. (Adolf Hitler killed six million Jews during the Second World War.) Even if this figure was contested, the murderous activities of Fulani herdsmen, and the other Islamic terrorists, under APC, cannot be denied. Thousands of Nigerians have been kidnapped and treated in the most barbaric and inhumane manner. Millions of families have been pauperized while those who are able have fled the country. All national infrastructure have collapsed, and a whole election was hijacked in broad daylight. It is no longer strange to see Nigerians protesting on the streets, wailing, “We are hungry”.
It was ten years of hell in Nigeria under APC.
The Lord, Who is plenteous in mercy, gave another word in June 2018 as the country was preparing for another election in 2019. That word was published and delivered at a Christian Conference held in Lagos. Amongst others, the word admonished that the apex body of Christianity in Nigeria should be re-organized. While the word in 2014 dealt with unbelievers, the word in 2018 dealt directly with the Church.
The Church was called upon by God to re-organize itself or lose control of the 2019 elections marking the next milestone in the 20-year cycle of God’s dealing with Nigeria. Rather than seek God’s face concerning the message, some Church leaders gathered in Abuja in July 2018 and denigrated the message.
Today, Nigeria is ruled by a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Under the circumstances, what should Nigerian Christians do? Naturally, the first suggestion would be repentance. A lot of repentance has been done in the Church, and we thank God for that. However, there is a critical group in the Church whose concerted and public repentance is still outstanding. God deals with His people through their leaders and the condition of the leaders before God determines how He deals with His people. The problem on ground was caused by the leaders, therefore they must lead in the repentance. The Word of God makes clear that hell shall not prevail against the Church. However, what would happen if the gatekeepers themselves opened the gate for hell?
God spoke in Isaiah 1: 5 – 7 asking, ”Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence,”
Could anyone deny that this scripture aptly describes the current situation in Nigeria?
This is not a condemnation of Church leaders. What has happened has happened, but we need to work towards a solution. No stone should be left unturned in the effort to obtain divine intervention. Joel 2: 17 – 18 says, “Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people.”
We must acknowledge that Church leaders are also humans, capable of error of judgment. Therefore, if any infraction is committed by Church leaders, they should accept responsibility before God and repent. Since Church leaders teach Christians how to confess and repent, they should not be reluctant to do the same.
The Nigeria Church has learnt a bitter lesson, a lesson marked with blood and death. It is a lesson that should not be repeated. Genuine repentance by Christian leaders is the first step in ensuring that such error does not occur again.
1. Prov. 1: 24 – 30
The rejection of the counsel of God in 2014 by Church leaders became collective guilt upon the entire Church. Plead the blood of Jesus to atone for the rebellion of the Church in 2014.
2. Joel 2:17–18
Pray for genuine repentance amongst church leaders so that God’s mercy shall be hastened over the land.
3. Isaiah 52: 3 –
Pray that the mercy of God shall prevail upon the Church and the nation.
4. Ezekiel 21: 25 – 27
Pray that God will uproot and overturn every wicked government in Nigeria and hand the throne over to a righteous ruler.
5. Isaiah 28: 5 – 6
Take authority over the gates of hell unleashed upon Nigeria by the APC. Shut the gates of hell and execute judgment on the forces of darkness wreaking havoc in Nigeria.
6. Ps. 149: 5 – 9
Come against the curses of sorcerers, enchanters, diviners, and prognosticators contending for the throne of Nigeria. Bind the evil spirits working with them and execute judgment on all their forces.
7. Isaiah 32: 13 – 18
Pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the land for healing and restoration.

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 6th May - Sunday 12th May 2024
In the prayer call of 25th – 31st March 2024, we posed the question above and drew attention to the need to resolve the constitutional dispute in Nigeria. In that prayer call, we pointed out that the 1999 Constitution (as amended) is of doubtful origin, and it is responsible for most of the crises in Nigeria. That prayer call identified four areas in which the 1999 Constitution (as amended) is dysfunctional and a liability to the Nigerian state:
1. Insecurity
2. Corruption
3. Religious intolerance
4. Unemployment & Poverty
In a short viral video clip, Chief Nnia Nwodo, a former Minister of Information, and a former President of Ohaneze Ndigbo, said, “… 49 people selected to write a constitution, wrote a constitution. 40 people in the Supreme Military Council promulgated a constitution for us, under General Abubakar, a government in which I served. I was in the Executive Council; I never saw the draft constitution and I was Minister of Information. It was my responsibility to publicise it to the country. On the day of swearing-in of Obasanjo, we didn’t have a copy of the constitution. I didn’t know who was printing it and my Ministry was supposed to pay for the printing. And, Obasanjo was sworn on a constitution that has not been read by anybody. And the National Assembly could not be constituted until four days after his swearing-in because there was no clean copy of the constitution! You cannot build on quicksand. A country cannot live on falsehood.”
Based on the foregoing, those who claim that the 1999 Constitution (as amended) is an illegitimate and fraudulent document cannot be faulted. The 1999 Constitution (as amended) did not pass any credible test to be considered the sovereign document of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. To worsen matters, it has become the source of poverty, sorrow, and death to Nigerians.
What should concern Nigerians now is how to resolve the constitutional dispute and ensure that the country obtains a legitimate constitution. There are four perspectives presently in the public space. They are as follows:
1. Amendment of the 1999 Constitution by the National Assembly
2. Adoption of the 2014 National Conference Report and its draft Constitution.
3. Adoption of the 1963 Republican Constitution and amendment of the same to reflect current realities.
4. A new Constitution developed by the ethnic nationalities.
There is a school of thought that suggests that the quickest way of replacing the illegitimate 1999 Constitution (as amended) is a return to the 1963 Republican Constitution after due amendments. This school of thought argues that this is the constitution that was negotiated by the ethnic nationalities led by the founding fathers of Nigeria. It was thoroughly debated at various constitutional conferences held in Lagos and in London before it was eventually approved at the Lagos Constitutional Conference which held on 25th – 26th July 1963. This is believed to be the authentic constitution of Nigeria.
It is argued that the 1963 Republican Constitution is still in force because it was only “suspended” by Gen. Ironsi’s Decree No. 1 of 1966. The 1963 Constitution was neither nullified nor abrogated. One immediate advantage in reverting to the 1963 Constitution would be reduction in the cost of governance. Under the 1963 Constitution, Nigeria was funding 5 governments: the Federal Government and the four regional governments. Under the 1999 Constitution, Nigeria is funding 812 governments from the Federation account when one adds up the Federal Government, the 36 state governments, the National Assembly and the 774 Local Governments.
The enormous cost of running government is one of the reasons Nigeria cannot offer free education, free healthcare, and national infrastructure has collapsed. With a political class that is protected from prosecution by the “immunity clause” in the 1999 Constitution (as amended), all the arms of government engage in mad rush to loot whatever is in the national treasury. Consequently, Nigeria became the poverty capital of the world.
There is another school of thought sponsored by the Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self Determination (NINAS) that conference of the ethnic nationalities is indispensable to put in place new constitutional arrangements for Nigeria. NINAS has produced five-fold proposition to guide Nigeria into seamlessly developing new constitutional arrangements for the Federal Government and the federating units.
On 16th December 2020, accredited delegates of the Nigerian Indigenous Ethnic Nationalities of the Southern and Middle Belt of Nigeria issued a declaration titled “Notice of Constitutional grievances, declaration of constitutional force majeure and demand for transitioning process for an orderly reconfiguration of the constitutional basis of the federation of Nigeria.” The declaration was signed by a total of 140 representatives of the South and Middle Belt areas of Nigeria. It was carried in full in the Guardian Newspaper on 21st January 2021.
https://guardian.ng/features/notice-of-constitutional-grievances-declaration-of-constitutional-force-majeure-and-demand-for-transitioning-process-for-an-orderly-reconfiguration-of-the-constitutional-basis-of-the-federation/
On whichever side of the divide one stands, one thing is clear, Nigeria requires new Constitutional arrangements. The current 1999 Constitution (as amended) has been proven, beyond doubt, to lack legitimacy. Since sovereignty belongs to the people from whom government derives its power, it is imperative that Nigerians must unite to negotiate new Constitutional arrangements for the country.
The political class must be prevailed upon to place the interest of millions of Nigerians above their personal and political interest. It is possible to take a decision on this issue in 2024 while a transition arrangement can be put in place so that the current elected government officials can complete their tenure.
This is a call for Nigerians to focus all their energy and attention on providing a lasting solution to the problems facing the country by going to the root of the problem. Sovereignty belongs to the people. Prayers should focus on dismantling the illegitimate and fraudulent 1999 Constitution (as amended) and the enthronement of the genuine constitution approved by the people for the people.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
1. Isaiah 10: 27
The 1999 Constitution (as amended) is an instrument of oppression, suppression, and regression upon the indigenous ethnic nationalities of Nigeria. Pray that every power of Satan that is sustaining this illegitimate and fraudulent document shall be nullified and destroyed in the name of Jesus Christ.
2. Isaiah 27: 1; Ps. 74: 12 – 14
Pray that every power and influence of leviathan in Nigeria shall be nullified and destroyed by the power of the Almighty God, in the name of Jesus.
3. Zech. 4: 6
Due to the promotion of personal and selfish interests, the political class would not want to support the decommissioning of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). Pray that the anointing of God shall break through every resistance. The anointing of God shall destroy the yoke of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
4. Rev. 12: 11
Pray that every blood sacrifice and occult ritual deployed to keep Nigerians docile and in bondage shall be nullified by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Pray that the Blood of Jesus shall answer their bloods.
5. Isaiah 8: 9 – 10
Pray that every foreign nation that is part of the conspiracy to undermine and enslave Nigerians shall have its peace and tranquillity withdrawn.
6. Isaiah 51: 9 – 10
Pray for a stirring in the land, that many voices shall arise, demanding the abrogation of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). Pray for a stirring in the people and great indignation against every instrument of oppression in the land.
7. 2 Cor. 6: 2
Make a righteous demand from heaven, by the Blood of the Lamb of God, that today is the day of the deliverance for Nigeria.

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 29th April - Sunday 5th May 2024
In one of our previous prayer calls, we pointed out that three things defile a land and bring curses upon the people:
1. Adultery
2. Idolatry
3. Bloodshed
Of these three vices, the worst is bloodshed, because it is not easily atoned for. The only atonement provided in the Bible for the shedding of the blood of the innocent is the blood of the person who did the killing. “So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.” (Num. 35: 33)
The relentless and ruthless shedding of the blood of innocent people in Nigeria strongly suggests that there is a deliberate sinister agenda behind it. It is therefore in our collective interest to understand the intention of those behind the massive shedding of blood, which has been ongoing for fifteen years in Nigeria. This issue should not be treated with levity.
Every empire is established upon the foundation of blood. The currency to pay for an empire is blood. All the Gentile empires mentioned in the Bible were established on the foundation of blood. The Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Grecian, and Roman empires were all established on the foundation of blood.
This principle is not restricted to the Gentiles. To build the nation of Israel in Egypt, the foundation was laid on blood, the blood of the Passover lamb, as a type of the blood of Jesus. Going further, to build the eternal Kingdom of God on earth, the foundation was also on blood, the Blood of Jesus shed on Calvary.
In contemporary times, we see this principle playing out with the current superpowers in the world. The United States of America was built on the foundation of the blood of the native Americans, the “Red Indians”. Millions of those natives were slaughtered by the Caucasian race from Europe. To sustain the “American empire”, USA engages in global shedding of blood unparalleled in human history. No country on earth sheds blood like the USA, either directly through wars or indirectly through proxy wars manipulated by the USA. In some instances, the USA has been known to fund both conflicting parties, as it is currently doing in the Israel and Iran conflict. It is all about sustaining the American global empire through constant bloodshed.
Every human empire, irrespective of the price that was paid for it in blood, has a terminal date. There is no human empire that is eternal. The only empire that will last forever is the Kingdom of God built on the sacred and sinless blood of Jesus Christ.
Whenever a human kingdom is reaching the end of its tenure, if the beneficiaries of the kingdom wish to extend or renew it, they must shed double the amount of blood that was shed initially to establish that kingdom.
It is a historical fact that Othman Dan Fodio had a dream in which he was told that the Fulani empire, which he established, would last two hundred years. The two hundred years lapsed some years ago. It is within this context that we should view the current Fulani sponsored bloodshed taking place in Nigeria. An empire that is supposed to be dead is being forcefully kept alive with the hope of extending its lifespan. Hence, the beneficiaries of the empire must double the blood that was shed to establish it originally.
A Hausa female emancipator, Hajia Kalthoum Alumbe Jutami, alleged that millions of Hausas were killed in the eight years of Muhammadu Buhari's presidency in Nigeria. That is massive bloodshed. Even if one were to contest her claim, no one can deny the murderous activities all over the country, of the Fulani terrorists being cleverly called “bandits”. More than sufficient data is available in the media.
Under the circumstances, the indigenous ethnic nationalities must view with seriousness the continued plague of bloodshed in Nigeria. It should not be treated with levity. The experience of the “Red Indians” in America, as well as that of the aborigines of Australia, should serve as serious warning. Today, the aborigines do not have a voice in the parliament of Australia. A major referendum, which was held on 14th Oct. 2023, to give the aborigines a voice in the Parliament and government on issues that affect them was defeated, yet the aborigines are the owners of the land.
The Nubians of Egypt were decimated to a tiny number while the Arabs took over the land and claimed to be Egyptians. The Nubians are dark skinned, like Nigerians.
Nigerians must recognize the far-reaching implications of the bloodshed taking place in the country and apply corrective measures immediately. In addition to ceaseless intercessions, the following preventive measures, amongst many others, should be considered:
1. There must be a concerted effort to dismantle the Caliphate sponsored 1999 Constitution. A new constitution must come into effect in 2024. The indigenous ethnic nationalities should accept the challenge and responsibility of giving Nigeria a new constitution in 2024. Nigeria must be renegotiated.
2. The current debate over State Police should be resolved quickly. The argument that state governors may abuse the power is untenable. After all, the national Police is under the president.
3. There should be a deliberate program of sharing this information with Nigerians at every available forum. The awareness should spread to places of worship, schools, as well as in the social media. This is not "ethnic profiling", as some might guiltily wish to dismiss it. Available and irrefutable data strongly confirm that there is a sinister motive behind the bloodshed taking place in Nigeria. Seeking permanent solutions to the bloodshed that afflicted Nigeria in the past fifteen years cannot be dismissed as “ethnic profiling”.
For Christians, two Bible passages are instructive. They are:
1. My people perish for lack of knowledge. (Hos. 4: 6);
2. Faith without works is dead. (Jam. 2: 17).
Christians must seek a deeper understanding of the spiritual implications of events occurring in Nigeria and embark on deliberate programs of intervention to provide lasting solutions. Christians must not stop at prayers alone.
This season calls for the manifestation of the sons of God.
May God find us willing in the day of His power. Amen.
1. Num. 35: 33; Gen. 9: 6
Pray that God will raise a righteous government that will execute justice and judgment on those who conspire to shed blood in Nigeria.
2. Rev. 16: 6 – 7
Pray that the foot-soldiers and the sponsors of the bloodshed in Nigeria shall carry the consequence of all their blood shed in Nigeria. Pray that every spiritual consequence of the blood shall be heaped upon them and their house.
3. Num. 16: 31 – 35
Pray that the fire of God will consume all the false prophets, sorcerers, diviners, necromancers, and enchanters manipulating blood to cast spells, deploy destructions, and curses upon Nigerians.
4. Is. 49: 24 – 26
Plead the blood of Jesus to nullify every satanic manipulation to exterminate and enslave the indigenous ethnic nationalities in Nigeria.
5. The NT in Heb. 12: 24 provides the solution for appeasing blood that is calling for vengeance. Plead the blood of Jesus to cleanse Nigeria and atone for the blood of the innocent so that blood guiltiness will stop afflicting the land.
Pray that the blood of Jesus will assuage vengeance of the blood from calling for more blood.
6. Ecc. 10: 8
It is written, “He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it;” Pray that all those who conspired evil against Nigeria and the indigenous ethnic nationalities shall be consumed by the evil they unleashed.
7. Isaiah 60: 18
Proclaim everlasting peace upon Nigeria.

Monday 22nd - Sunday 28th April 2024
“What money cannot do, more money will do” is the unfortunate axiom of the current political leaders in Nigeria. Their leadership principle seems based on bribery and corruption. The consequence is a corrupt, decadent, and lawless country. As a common proverb goes, the fish rots from the head.
However, one might be unfair in heaping all the blame on the current set of leaders who were themselves products of a corrupt system. The Nigerian system was compromised right from Independence, when an ethnic leader claimed that the newly independent country was “an estate" of his great grandfather. That irresponsible and reckless statement set in motion unwarranted competition and distrust rather than cooperation and mutual trust in the new country. Events soon spiralled out of control leading to the 1966 coup, the civil war, and the military interregnum. It was during the era of the military that corruption became an institution in Nigeria.
An amusing but very unfortunate incident occurred around the ‘90s while the military was in power, and it underscores the mentality in Nigeria. A luxury bus travelling from Lagos to the East was waylaid by armed robbers along the Benin-Shagamu express road. The thieves ordered all the passengers to disembark and hand over their money and other valuables. One young man moved towards the rear of the bus and quickly stuffed his money into his sock leaving a dirty and ragged looking 50 Naira note in his hand. Unfortunately for him, one of the robbers saw him.
The robber accosted him and demanded his money. Tearfully, the young man presented the dirty currency note pleading that was all he had. He explained that he went to visit his sister in Lagos, but she had travelled. In fact, he told the robber, it was her neighbour who gave him money to return to Benin.
The armed robber looked at him contemptuously. With disgust written all over his face, the thief said, “simple honesty, simple honesty. That is the problem with this country, no one is honest. Ordinary bring out your money, you were hiding it in your sock. I saw you. Get out my friend, you are not an honest man. That is the problem with Nigeria, no one is honest.”
That was in the ‘90s. Fast forward to 2024 where the annual national budget was allegedly padded with trillions of Naira. The Senator who raised the alarm was suspended by the Senate. He was not an “honest” man in their midst.
The situation certainly would not have been this bad if the God-appointed custodians of moral standards in Nigeria, the Church, have not joined in the fray. In the past few years, the impression has been firmly established that the Nigeria Church is more corrupt than the world. Every attempt to call the Church to order is termed "rebellion" and the "promotion of disunity" in the Body of Christ. A generation of leaders appeared in the Nigeria Church, which, like the corrupt sons of Eli, “knew not the Lord” (Judges 2:10; 1 Sam. 2:12) These corrupt priests fraternize with corrupt politicians and endorse them publicly.
Consequently, the Nigeria Church has lost moral authority. Now, perversions and pollution fill the sanctuary of the Lord. With the Church in such moral disarray, the country has had no moral compass to navigate its society in a godly and righteous manner. The bloodletting, corruption and immorality all over the country are the consequences of the loss of moral standard in the Church.
The challenge facing Nigeria Christians is to restore righteousness within the household of faith. This would require believers to take the stand of Paul against Peter in Galatians 2:11 – 16. It is not sufficient for Christians to pray about and condemn the evils in the land yet condone the evils and hypocrisy in the Church. The Lord expects His people to place His righteousness above everyone, for God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10: 34).
If Nigeria Christians continue to indulge in and accommodate sinful and corrupt church leaders (contrary to the will of God in 1 Cor. 5:12–13 and 1 Tim. 5:20), righteousness shall continue to elude Nigeria. The moral authority of the Church must be restored before it can fulfil its role as the conscience of Nigeria. Today, Nigeria operates without a conscience, at every level. The ugly situation will persist until the people of God arise in righteous indignation and begin to judge the evil within the Body of Christ. God established a pattern in Haggai 1:9-10 when He said, “Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house. Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.” The house of God cannot be in disarray while Christians expect God to tidy up their country.
A lot of prayers are going on, but faith must be combined with works for results to show (Jam. 2: 17.) It is insufficient for Christians to pray for a new Nigeria. They must also raise new leaders that “know the Lord”, leaders who will promote righteousness within the Body of Christ.
It is righteousness that exalts a nation. That righteousness must commence from inside the Church.
1). John 1:9
The condition of the Church has resulted in collective guilt upon all Christians. Let us confess the failure of Christians in this generation to uphold the holiness and righteousness of God in the Nigeria Church.
2. Matt. 16:18
Appeal to the Lord of the Church to step in and help Nigerian Christians to overcome the sons of Belial who daily pollute the Church.
3. Jude 3 & 4
Pray for the outpouring of the zeal of God, that Nigeria Christians shall become militant against corrupt and hypocritical Christian leaders.
4. Hebrews 1:7
Pray for fresh fire upon Nigeria Christians, fire that will consume all dross and chaff in the Church. Pray that Nigeria Christians shall be on fire for truth and righteousness.
5. Acts 5:1-11
Pray for the discipline of the Holy Spirit to restore the fear of God in the Church.
6. Acts 13:1-4
Pray that henceforth, the Holy Spirit shall raise leaders in the Nigeria Church. Pray that all leaders not appointed by the Holy Spirit shall be uprooted from leadership positions in the Church. Matt. 15:13
7. Ps. 75: 6-7
Pray that God will promote and empower Spirit-filled Christians into positions of authority and influence in government as well as in the seven mountains of the society.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 15th - Sunday 21st April, 2024
According to the Creator, it takes blood to wash away blood; either the blood of the guilty or a relation of the guilty (Genesis 9:5; 2 Samuel 21:1-14), for which blood will keep being spilt, or the redemptive blood of a vicarious one, an animal, in the Old Covenant (Deut 21:1-8) or the blood of the Lamb (Hebrews 12:24).
“So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it” (Numbers 35:33).
There has been a cycle of blood – in families, in communities, in the nation. It is time to step out as priests of God in our various capacities to address those. If a present generation can he held accountable for the bloodguilt of their ancestors (Luke 11:50-51), then a present generation can also time-travel into the past to clear inherited liabilities of blood (Leviticus 26:38-42).
1). Genesis 4:15; Ezekiel 9:6 – The Mark of Preservation
In this season of so much bloodthirstiness, where old blood keeps crying for more blood, may we beseech the Lord for the mark of preservation, upon us and ours; upon the righteous and innocent.
2). 2 Kings 2:32-33 – Blood upon the Guilty and Declaration of Innocence
So many innocent people have suffered for blood that they had no hand in. May we, like Solomon, begin to i) send blood back upon the heads of the guilty and their accomplices, as well as ii) declaring the exoneration of ourselves, our households, our thrones, our seeds from the consequences of blood seeds sown in our spaces.
3). Hebrews 12:24 – Judicial Appeal to the Higher Blood
Since it takes blood to cleanse blood, may we begin to apply the blood of Jesus to our consciences seared stiff against guilt and to our lands defiled many times over with blood. Let us appeal for that blood to speak for us, for our land, better things that the reproaches being compelled by shed bloods.
4. Hosea 4:6 – Requesting Wisdom in Dealing with Blood
Praying amiss can costly; not discerning one’s crisis and not knowing what to do about the symptoms can be deadly. May we request the opening of the eyes in dealing with blood matters in our age.
Amen.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 8th - Sunday 14th April, 2024
Medically, there are four major (or eight broad) blood groups, each classified according to whether or not the A and B antigens are present on the surface of the red blood cells. They are blood groups A, B, AB, and O. In spiritual hematology, there are five broad blood groups, classified according to the circumstances of their spillage:
i) blood of war, spilled by law-enforcement agencies in the course their civil duties or by others in the course of self-defence (1 Kings 2:5),
ii) innocent blood - the blood of the guiltless shed in rituals, extra-judicial murders, assassinations, robberies, and by tyrants as well as by greedy professionals who cut corners and bring fatal accidents upon innocent people in open wells and collapsed buildings (Matthew 27:4; 1 Samuel 19:5; Deuteronomy 19:11-13),
iii) the righteous blood of saints and prophets martyred for their faith (Matthew 23:34-35),
iv) accidental blood of manslaughter and other accidents not intended by the causer of death (Deuteronomy 19:4-7), and
v) the guilty blood of those who bring their death upon themselves through rebellion (Ezekiel 18:10-13).
Against the backdrop of all these, the Bible warns, “So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it” (Numbers 35:33). Something defiled and polluted cannot produce maximally. Might that also explain some of our national and communal and personal retardations? Political bloods, ritual bloods, jihadist bloods, abortions, etc.!
What is our answer to these? Nothing but the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 12:24).
1). Kings 2: 31-33 – May the Guilty Bear the Bloods
Solomon had to declare his ancestry’s innocence in the blood implications of Joab the Army Chief under his father David. Next, he sent the consequences back upon the guilty. Let us declare our innocence (where we are), and send blood back upon all the sponsors of jihad, kidnapping, political assassinations, etc.
2). Numbers 35:33 – Discernment
May we pray for proper diagnosis of our many national and family crises, so we can apply proper therapies. It is waste of time cleansing a polluted land with fresh but ineffective fertilizers and helpless farming tractors. Ask discernment for spiritual and other leaders in handling the multiple crises of the time.
3). Numbers 35:33; Blood for Blood
May all who have loved blood, who have profited from the blood and tears of others, begin to drink of their own cups as God gives them blood to drink – in their palaces and in their caves. “For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy” (Rev 16:6).
4). Luke 22:38 – Enforcing the Right to Self-Defence
The enemies of justice and peace have systematically disarmed the innocent and strengthened their killers against them. Peter carried a sword of physical defence all the time he followed Jesus the Son of God (Luke 22:38; Matthew 26:52-54), and Heaven had an army with weapons of war ready before the war came there (Rev 12:7). May there begin to be administrative enforcements of people’s armed rights to self-defence against their marauding killers, and a reset to the theologically-induced passivity that makes people unfortunate preys.
5). Hebrews 12:24 – Invoking Blood against Blood
To the extent that it takes blood to cleanse or answer blood, may we as kings and priests apply the Blood of Jesus to every desolation and pollution arising from blood on the land.

Genesis 4:11-12
11 And NOW art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
12 When THOU tillest the ground, it shall not HENCEFORTH yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
Innocent blood may be concealed, but it does not leave the land of the killer without consequences. Abel’s blood was concealed, but that did not spare the killer and his land. Nigeria is daily drowned in bloods: from accidents caused by carelessness, ritual murders, politically and otherwise motivated assassinations, jihads, abortions, etc. According to God the Creator, blood both pollutes and “defileth the land” (Numbers 35:33). What is polluted does not yield maximum benefits. Polluted water might seem to quench the thirst, but it can kill. A defiled church might be full of members, yet far from God. What the enemy can not prevent, he tries to pollute. Our land is destined for greatness but is threatened with seeds pollution by the enemy.
1). Psalm 51:2, 14 - REPENTANCE
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. … Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God..,”
May we acknowledge guilt, where there is, and ask cleansing from bloodguiltiness, for self and the community. Guilty as Cain was, he besought the Lord. May we not be too intelligent to repent.
2). Genesis 4:15 – THE MARK OF PRESERVATION
...And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.”
May we request God’s mark of preservation from the beastly avengers of blood that sprawl the lands, preying on the blood of school children, disadvantaged youths, etc.
3). Genesis 4:11-22 – DISCERNMENT
And NOW art thou cursed from the earth … it shall not HENCEFORTH yield unto thee her strength …”
You cannot fight what you do not know; you cannot treat a disease you are unable to diagnose. May we request divine insights into the calendars of dryness resulting from blood, so we can properly address them.
4). Hebrews 12:24 – BLOOD FOR BLOOD
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
It takes blood to cleanse blood (Numbers 35:33). May we appeal to the higher Blood and the Highpriestly Jesus to intervene in our cases. Let blood speak over blood.

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 25th - Sunday 31st March 2024
Yes, "the earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof" (Ps. 24), however, whom has God handed Nigeria over to? Acts 17: 26 says that God “… hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;” Each nation has a specific portion of planet earth allotted to it by God. It would be logical to conclude that Nigeria belongs to the indigenous ethnic nationalities. This conclusion may however pose a problem when we consider the next question: Who wrote the current Constitution of Nigeria?
The Constitution is the sovereign document of a state, determining how the country should be governed. It is produced by the citizens, if the country is free, or it is produced by a colonial power if the country is a colony. Under the colonial rule, Nigeria had such constitutions as the Clifford Constitution of 1922, the Richards Constitution of 1946, the Macpherson Constitution of 1951, and the Lyttleton Constitution of 1954. Nigerians did not produce the constitution of the country then, because they were under colonial rule. Now that the country has gained independence, who should produce the constitution of Nigeria?
It is time to answer the question, "Who produced the 1999 Constitution for Nigeria?" Was it produced by Nigerian citizens or was it handed over to them? The reality that Nigerians must face is that some forces are brazenly saying that Nigeria does not belong to Nigerians. They have affirmed this by giving Nigeria a constitution that was not produced by Nigerians. After ending colonial rule on 1st October 1960, Nigeria entered another servitude which commenced on 29th May 1999. This is the reality on ground. What was not made public is the identity of the new colonial master.
To placate Nigerians and lull them into a false sense of security, the National Assembly was persuaded by the new “owners” of Nigeria to conduct regular “amendments” of the Constitution. This has become a ritual that each Assembly does to silence protests and create the impression that Nigerians have a say in the Constitution of the new colonial master. Since 1999, there have been five of such alterations to the Constitution. A few days ago, the National Assembly gave notice of the sixth amendment and called on Nigerians to submit memoranda.
Did any of the previous alterations to the Constitution bring any meaningful change to Nigeria? The 8th Assembly in 2017 made thirty-two (32) amendments to the Constitution. Did it impact the country in any meaningful way? The 9th Assembly conducted its constitutional merry-go-round in 2020 and could not solve the problems of insecurity and poverty. As a matter of fact, after the 9th Assembly concluded its amendments, Nigeria officially became poverty capital of the world. In 2024, the new Assembly is calling for memoranda for another session of motions without movement.
The 1999 Constitution is at the root of the current calamities that have befallen Nigeria. This sovereign document, that was produced by a faceless colonial master, and imposed on the country by Military Decree 24, has locked Nigeria in a cage of violence and poverty. Nigerians may not come out unless they summon the political will to break the chains. We shall highlight four key areas in which the 1999 Constitution is a liability to Nigeria.
CORRUPTION
The pillar of corruption in the country is the “immunity clause” in the 1999 Constitution. The clause accords immunity to the President, Vice President, Governors, and Deputy Governors while they are in office. The immunity clause gives them protection from all civil and criminal prosecution no matter the crime they commit. They can only be tried after the expiration of their tenure.
It is this immunity that birthed executive impunity in Nigeria. The President and the Governors can loot and mismanage without any fear of prosecution. The immunity clause prevents leadership accountability. Once the leaders are not accountable, the followers will naturally follow suit and the leaders will have no moral authority to query them.
INSECURITY
The 1999 Constitution concentrates security in the central government. Nigeria is a Federation in which the federating units have no power to defend themselves. The State Governors are referred to as Chief Security Officers of the state, but the entire security apparatus is controlled from Abuja. In April 2016, Nimbo in Enugu state was attacked by terrorists. The Governor held security meetings with all security formations in the state to prevent the attack. After the security meeting and various assurances given to Governor Ugwuanyi, the terrorists struck. The Governor, as the Chief Security Officer of Enugu state, had no authority over the security forces.
In Nigeria, there is neither state nor community Police. Consequently, kidnappers, bandits, insurgents, cultists, armed robbers, ritualists, as well as drug dealers ravage the country unmolested. It is the 1999 Constitution.
UNEMPLOYMENT & POVERTY
The 68 items in the Exclusive Legislative List are commercial and developmental projects that only Federal Government can undertake. This list bars states from exploiting resources within their zones for development purposes. Each federating unit should be in control of its resources and pay royalty to the Federal Government. Consequently, Nigeria has resources that it is not adequately benefiting from. Too much responsibility is saddled on the Federal Government by a “colonial master” determined to control every aspect of the lives of Nigerians.
RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE
Nigeria obtained independence as a democratic country under Common Law jurisdiction. The National Ideology of Nigeria at independence was Parliamentary Democracy. The 1999 Constitution legitimized dual conflicting ideologies of Democracy and Sharia for Nigeria. Both are antithetical to each other. This was done without the consent of Nigerians. At present, Nigeria has joined Islamic countries like Bangladesh, Brunei, Gambia, Malaysia, and Pakistan in the classification of countries under Common Law and Sharia. Again, it was imposed by virtue of 1999 Constitution.
This Constitution is the bedrock of religious insurgency in the country. Religious terrorists will continue to bedevil Nigeria so long as the 1999 Constitution is in force. Sharia in the Constitution gives the Islamist insurgents legitimacy to operate in Nigeria.
On 18th March 2024, some eminent Nigerians, under the aegis of the Patriots Group, gathered in Lagos for a Conference commemorating 10 years of the National Conference. The Patriots Conference passed a resolution calling on the Government to adopt the report of the 2014 National Conference. The Report of the National Conference came with a draft new Constitution for Nigeria.
Every Nigerian must begin to agitate for a new Constitution. The National Assembly must be told in clear terms that another amendment of the 1999 Constitution is no longer required. What is paramount is for the National Assembly to legislate a bill for a new Constitution. The process will be fast-tracked by the adoption of the Report of the 2014 National Conference. Nigeria requires a new Constitution, not an amended Constitution.
For Christians, demand for a new Constitution should form a major prayer focus. It is for liberty that Christ has made us free. The yoke of bondage placed upon Nigeria through the 1999 Constitution must be destroyed so that Nigeria can be free to fulfil the mandate of God. Christians should specifically demand that in 2024, Nigeria shall have a new Constitution, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

5). Matt. 16: 19
Take authority over every satanic manipulation designed to keep Nigerians docile and spellbound. Nullify all those works of darkness with the Blood of Jesus Christ.
6). Gen. 9: 6
With the blood of Jesus, silence the voices of blood crying for vengeance against Nigeria. Decree the judgment in Gen. 9: 6 upon everyone who has shed innocent blood in Nigeria.
7). Isaiah 11: 1 – 4
Pray that the Spirit of God shall brood over the National Assembly and compel the legislators to initiate the process for a new Constitution for Nigeria in 2024.

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 18th - Sunday 24th March 2024
And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. (Dan. 2: 40).
Over the years, Bible scholars have sought to interpret the dream of Nebuchadnezzar by concluding that the legs of iron in that revelation refer to the Roman Empire. While the Bible clarified the head of gold in that dream as representing Babylon, the breast and arms of silver as the Medo-Persian Empire, and the belly and thighs as the Grecian Empire, no mention was made of the identity of the legs of irons. However, a careful study of the Roman Empire and contemporary world events reveal that the empire described as the legs of iron could not be the old Roman Empire. The following few points could be considered:
Islamism - that is, political Islam - is responsible for global insecurity and bloodshed, while secularism is the root of moral perversion and widespread sexual immorality. Nigeria is in a precarious situation. Islamism is coming from the North while secularism is spreading from the South. The Church is caught in-between.
The Islamic Caliphate is the historical Islamic Government or empire, which began with the Rashidun Caliphate in 632 AD shortly after the death of the prophet of Islam, and culminated in the Ottoman Empire, which officially came to an end in 1924. The leader of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal, the Atarturk, dismantled the Caliphate in 1924 and adopted Western civilization so that Turkey could develop. A group of Islamic fundamentalists, led by Hassan Al-Banna, felt that the decision of the Atarturk was a betrayal of Islam. In 1928, they met in a village named Ismaila, in Egypt, and founded the Islamic Brotherhood. The Islamic Brotherhood had two objectives at its foundation:
1. To implement Sharia worldwide
2. To re-establish the global Islamic state known as the Caliphate
The Caliphate was the beast that was wounded to death (in 1924) and was healed (in 1928). The whole world is now wondering after it, in UK, Europe, USA, and of course, in Africa. The Western powers treat Islam like a religion while Israel responds to it as an empire. Consequently, Islam has conquered the West without waging coventional war.
The global upsurge in Islamic terrorism and global expansion of the religion are the direct result of the activities of the Islamic Brotherhood. The goal is to make Sharia a global ideology. In effect, while Islam is outwardly a religion, it is inwardly a world empire, a ruler of the gentiles in the category of Babylon, Assyria, Medo-Persia, and Greece. As an empire, the Caliphate is bent on territorial conquest and global domination. Nigeria has been marked by the Caliphate for conquest because the capture of Nigeria signifies the capture of Africa.
Repeatedly, the National Christian Elders Forum (NCEF) has warned Nigerians, particularly the Christians, that the problem of Nigeria is primarily the conflict between Democracy and Sharia in the country. This conflict was smuggled into the 1999 Constitution, producing a sovereign document with dual conflicting ideologies for the country. It is these dual ideologies that are tearing Nigeria apart. For example, the 2023 election was not a democratic exercise. It was Sharia. Every democratic norm was violated in the 2023 elections.
To date, the indigenous ethnic nationalities and the Christian community, are underestimating the Caliphate. The goal is to build the coalition of the antichrist that will face Christ at the battle of Armageddon. According to Biblical eschatology, Christians are expecting an antichrist at the end of the age. In like manner, the Muslims are expecting a saviour at the end of the age. His name is Imam Mahdi. Authorities on this subject believe that the antichrist the Christians are expecting is the leader the Muslims are expecting. It is natural that Satan will want Nigeria in that coalition since God has designated Nigeria a sheep-nation that will spearhead the last days harvest of souls into the kingdom of God. Satan always opposes whatever God initiates.
The battle going on now over Nigeria is intense in the spirit realm, and Christians must be careful where they stand and how they live. There is a titanic struggle going on for Nigeria, and many saints are falling due to greed, covetousness, carelessness, and love for the vanities of the world. It is time for Christians to rebuild the ancient altars of truth and righteousness in the land because the army of darkness is on the move. Only the truth can stop them.
In addition to intense prayers, Christians should participate in the agitation for return to regionalism in the country, so that a multi-layer security architecture can be built from the national to the community level. The terrorists should not be perceived as a rag-tag group of thugs. They are the advance forces. They are globally coordinated, well-funded, and strategically deployed to deliver Nigeria to the Caliphate. This would be at the expense of Christian lives. Not only are Christians at risk, even the indigenous ethnic nationalities, irrespective of religion, are equally at risk. As can be seen from the mass murder of Hausa Muslims in Zamfara, Kebbi, Sokoto, Niger, Kaduna, and Katsina, even the indigenous Muslims are not safe.
While we take solace in the assurance of God that Nigeria will not be handed over to Islam, the Caliphate will inflict maximum damage in the attempt. Every effort must be made to mitigate the damage. Prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Amen.
1. Ps. 124
Thank God for holding back the flood of the fury of the Caliphate against Nigeria. If not for the Lord Who was on our side, the Caliphate would have devastated Nigeria.
2. Jer. 10:11
Pray that all the forces gathering against Nigeria, both in the spirit realm and in the physical realm, shall be destroyed by the power of God.
3. Lam. 3:37
Nullify the spells, sorceries, divinations, incantations, satanic rituals, and blood sacrifices going on in the country to weaken and destroy Nigerians. Plead the Blood of Jesus against every incantation and enchantment in the atmosphere.
4. Heb. 1:14
Pray for angelic support for Nigeria Christians in the wake of terrorist attacks all over the country. Pray that God shall release His angels to drive these forces of evil out of Nigeria, the same way Lucifer and his forces were driven out of heaven.
5. Hosea 4:6
Pray for more understanding in the Church about the program and purpose of God in this season.
6. John 8:32
Pray that the truth shall make Nigeria Christians free from doctrinal errors and political manipulations.
7. Acts 1:8
Pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Church.
