It is no longer news that Nigeria ranks as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. To many Nigerians, if the country could resolve the problem posed by corruption, Nigeria will become a beautiful place. What many do not realize is that corruption is merely a symptom of the disease plaguing Nigeria. The real disease is the dual and conflicting ideologies in the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
Every nation is identified by its national ideology. There are countries that embrace democracy, there are communist and socialist, and there are countries that subscribe to a religious ideology, like Sharia. Nigeria is openly touted as a democratic country, but its very Constitution makes provision for Sharia. Most analysts believe that it is the contest between Democracy and Sharia within the 1999 Constitution that is pulling the country in two opposite directions. It is this conflict that is at the root of the dysfunction of the Nigerian state.
The 1999 Constitution contradicts itself when in Section 10 it asserts as follows: “The Government of the Federation or of a State shall not adopt any religion as State Religion”, yet in Section 275, it makes provision for Sharia. Both democracy and sharia are antithetical to each other. The late Justice Mohammed Bello summed it up as follows, “Section 38(1) of the Constitution ensures for every person the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, including freedom to change his religion or belief, whereas under Sharia, ‘ridda’ (change of religion) is a capital offence. Consequently, the offence of ridda is inconsistent with Section 38(1) and by virtue of Section 1 is unconstitutional.”
The late Prof. Ben Nwabueze added, “The conclusion is thus inescapable that the prohibition in Section 10 of the Constitution stamps with an indelible taint of unconstitutionality, the Sharia criminal law, whether in its original form as contained in the Quran and the Sunnah or in a codified form to be enacted by the National Assembly or a State House of Assembly”.
It is safe to conclude that if the Constitution of a country is at conflict with itself, that country cannot have peace. The question that rises therefore is, how did Nigeria obtain the 1999 Constitution? Which Constituent Assembly sat to put such a document together for Nigeria?
Chief John Nwodo, a former Minister of Information, in a video clip that went viral, stated that, as the substantive Minister of Information in 1999, he did not know where the 1999 Constitution came from. It was not printed by his ministry, and the document surfaced at the swearing-in ceremony of President Obasanjo. Until then, no one had sighted a copy of the 1999 Constitution.
The saving grace for Nigerians is that those who crafted the 1999 Constitution retained Section 10, as it was in the 1979 Constitution, before adding elements of the Sharia ideology to the document. If Section 10 was not in the Constitution, there might have been a wholesale handing over of Nigeria to other forces using religion as a masquerade for cultural and political domination of the country.
This conspiracy is inherently the promotion of one religion over and above other religions. It has nothing to do with religion. It is a cultural agenda to dominate the indigenous ethnic nationalities that make up Nigeria, irrespective of religion, tribe, or gender. As the Hausa Muslims in Zamfara, Niger, and Kebbi, are beginning to find out, religion has nothing to do with this matter.
Elections in Nigeria have been drifting away from democratic norms, while the judiciary has been giving some rulings that are unquestionably in favour of undemocratic processes. If Nigeria is truly a democratic country, yet critical decisions are not in conformity with democratic norms, then, we may ask, which ideology is running the country?
It is this conflict of ideologies that promotes corruption, because a lot of compromise must be made to have people look the other way. This compromise has affected the security units, the legislature, the judiciary, religious leaders, traditional rulers, and of course, the media.
There is need for prayer mobilization against this conspiracy. Christians should be aware of critical issues that affect Nigeria and prayerfully seek divine intervention. Some issues run deep, and are too complex for civil agitations alone to resolve them. It is time to go to the root of the current crisis in Nigeria and prayerfully provide solutions. Nigeria requires a new Constitution, not an amended Constitution. The indigenous ethnic nationalities should accept responsibility for the introduction of a new Constitution for Nigeria.
In the meantime, Christians should commence consistent prayer action for a new Constitution for the country. Let us pray.
1. Ps. 124
Pray and thank God for defending Nigeria so far from conspiracies hatched against the country, of which Nigerians were not aware.
2. Lev. 26:40–42
Confess the sins of this generation and that of our fathers for colluding with the invaders. The truth of the matter is that the invaders could never have come this far with their conspiracy if some of our people did not collude with them. Let us confess our sins so that God will remember the land.
3. Jer. 10:11
Pray that all the forces of darkness conspiring to take over Nigeria shall fail in their pursuits.
4. Isaiah 8:9–10
Pray that all the foreign nations involved in the conspiracy against Nigeria shall be broken in pieces, according to the word of God.
5. Isaiah 54:14–15
Pray that all the foreign multi-nationals and globalists pursuing an agenda of hostile take-over of Nigeria and its resources shall perish for the sake of Nigeria.
6. Isaiah 33:22
Pray for a new Constitution for Nigeria from the Almighty God. Pray that every resistance to the enactment of a new Constitution for Nigeria shall collapse.
7. Ps. 133
Pray for unity of purpose amongst all the indigenous ethnic nationalities of Nigeria, that they would rise as one to demand and obtain the new Constitution for the country.

Ps. 46:1
NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 11th – Sunday 17th December, 2023
Last week, there were some posts on WhatsApp in which some Christian elites were rejoicing over the appointment of new Supreme Court justices because seven out of the eleven justices were "Christians." It is good to rejoice at the promotion of our brethren, but not like those elites who went on therefore to celebrate their support for the unfortunate Muslim-Muslim ticket. They went as far as saying that those Christians who opposed the Muslim-Muslim ticket should go to God and ask forgiveness. What an irony!
When Jesus taught us the Lord’s Prayer, after worship, the first request He taught us to make was, “Thy KINGDOM come”. Christianity is about the “Kingdom”. The gospel of Jesus is the gospel of the Kingdom. If Christian leaders do not understand this, how would the Church positively impact the world?
Every kingdom has a throne, and whoever controls the throne controls that kingdom. The Muslims in Nigeria strategically aimed for the throne, then passed down mere portfolios to certain Christians! Have those Christian elites rejoicing over mere appointments forgotten what happened in Egypt?
In Egypt, Pharaoh told Joseph in Genesis 41:40–43, “Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.”
Undiscerning Jews in Egypt might have rejoiced that their “brother” had become Prime Minister in the land, the same way that some of our Christian elites are rejoicing at ministerial and judicial appointments. Pharaoh handed the whole of Egypt over to Joseph, but he kept back the throne for himself. The throne that exalted Joseph was the same throne that placed the children of Israel in bondage for 430 years!
* Whereas Pharaoh apparently handed Egypt over to Joseph, he kept the throne to himself.
* Nebuchadnezzar handed Babylon over to Daniel, but he did not hand over the throne.
* Darius gave the Medo-Persian empire to Daniel, yet he too did not also give the throne.
* In present day Britain, Rishi Sunak, of Indian descent, is the Prime Minister, but King Charles, an Englishman, holds the throne.
No king hands over their throne, except some Nigerian Christian leaders who, as priests and kings to God, do not understand the value of the throne. May God save Christian leaders from spiritual blindness.
The Muslims have often aimed for the throne in Nigeria. Today, their Christian collaborators are rejoicing at mere appointments, but the throne is bidding its time. The Muslims have taken the Presidency and the Vice Presidency, then given the Senate to a reckless Christian who allegedly took N800 million of state money for his private birthday celebration. They allowed him, so that they could have a long and thick rope to hang him with when the time comes. They have done it before.
Apart from the Presidency and Vice, they have the Number 4 position in the person of the Speaker of the House, and the Number 5 position as the CJN. In other words, they have secured for themselves the prime No 1, No 2, No 4 and No 5 positions, yet some Christians still blindly celebrate mere appointments.
Today, they are giving certain Christians some apparently 'juicy positions,' because they still need them, especially this early in the game. After all, Christians at present have more skilled manpower in Nigeria than the Muslims have. Just as Pharaoh realized that he needed Joseph, so do they realize that they still need the Christians, while they keep building their own manpower. The day they believe that they no longer need you, that day you will realize the power of the throne.
Those who are now rejoicing should think far. What will happen to their children? The power of the throne is in the hand of those who do not believe in your God. Anyone who assumes that a throne that answers to Satan will favour the followers of Jesus Christ must be truly undiscerning and very spiritually unwise.
It is the supporters and promoters of the Muslim-Muslim ticket that should go to God in repentance, in dust and ashes. The gospel that Christians are called to preach is the gospel of the Kingdom, not the gospel of appointments, of garlics and cucumbers. They should go to God and plead with Him to forgive them. They have compromised the interest of the Kingdom of God in Nigeria.
For the rest of us, it is time to pray for the throne and declare, “Thy kingdom come.”
1). Isaiah 42:18–20
Pray for God’s mercy and forgiveness upon the Church. Plead that God would not deal with the Church according to the blindness and ignorance of its leaders.
2). Isa. 28:14-15
The Satanist, Alice Bailey, told her disciples, “Whatever change you implement on the ground, get the Church to endorse it, get the Church to officially cede ground”. That's what is happening in our world now.
Pray that God will diminish and silence every Christian leader who is using their spiritual authority in the Church to endorse evil thrones and promote unrighteous leaders in Nigeria. Pray that heaven shall revoke their endorsement.
3). Joel 2:15–17
Pray for genuine repentance amongst Christian leaders in Nigeria.
4). Ps. 94:20
Pray that the throne of iniquity in Nigeria shall be dismantled by God.
5). Prov. 29:2
The word of God says that when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice. For many years, Nigerians have not been rejoicing. Pray for the promotion of righteous men and women into positions of authority in the country. Pray that the David whom God promised Nigeria shall manifest.
6). Rev. 11:15
Pray that Nigeria shall become the kingdom of our God and of His Christ. Pray that the throne of Nigeria shall become the throne of Christ (Matt. 6:10).
7). Genesis 1:1-2
In a revelation shared last week at the National Prayer Altar, a sister saw Nigeria opened before her, and the Holy Spirit hovering over the country. Pray that, as in Genesis 1, the Holy Spirit shall alight upon Nigeria and the light of God shall break forth over Nigeria. Pray that the light of God shall destroy every power of darkness in Nigeria. Amen.

Ps. 46:1
NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 4th December – Sunday 10th December, 2023
There is an interesting controversy in the Church concerning the end times. Some Christians believe in pre-tribulation rapture, others in post-tribulation rapture, and a third group that holds on to mid-tribulation rapture. As divergent as views are on the end times, all Christians hold on to 2 Thes. 2:7, that “the mystery of iniquity doth already work”. Some Bible translations refer to it as the “mystery of lawlessness”. On this point, there is no controversy. There is scarcely a country in which the mystery of lawlessness is more manifest than in present-day Nigeria. Lawlessness and iniquity dominate the society. From the sacred altar of the Church to the hallowed chambers of justice and legislature, Nigerians seem to be competing to see who would be the most rebellious and lawless.
Most state institutions established to curb iniquity and lawlessness in the country are themselves worse than the criminals they were set up to apprehend. The judiciary has become an astonishment while the Police and the Army are experts in the abuse of power. No one should mention the politicians, Customs, and Intelligence Services.
The 2023 general elections will undoubtedly win global award for being the most brazen organized crime on planet earth. Most Nigerian politicians could be described as “the man of sin”.
The youths are not left out, and many marriages have become a joke. A survey has placed Nigerian married women in first in adultery globally, at 62%, while Thailand is second at 59%.
All these works of iniquity are thriving in a country with the largest Christian congregations on earth. A country that is considered the second most prayerful nation after Afghanistan! What went wrong?
The Church must accept responsibility for the state of iniquity in the country. It is the Church that God appointed as spiritual Police to curb lawlessness on earth. This is the reason God gave Christians the “armour of God” (Eph.6: 11 – 18). If Christians wore this armour daily, they would have been able to ensure the moral standards of God and arrest the spirit of lawlessness so as to maintain order and decency in Nigeria. Christians must accept responsibility for the moral decay of Nigeria.
This week, we shall go to God and confess the criminal negligence of the Nigeria Church and commence taking authority over the spirit of lawlessness in Nigeria. Every Christian should develop the consciousness that it is our prayer responsibility to take authority over iniquity and lawlessness in Nigeria. We might not be able to interfere physically, but we must intervene in prayers every time we see or hear of an act of lawlessness. It is the responsibility of the Church to curb the mystery of iniquity.
1. Isaiah 26: 17-18
Repent for the negligence of the Church in failing to curb lawlessness and evil in Nigeria. The Nigeria Church has not been able to bring deliverance to the land, even though it is empowered by God to do so. Pray and repent of this negligence.
2. Rom. 2:1-3; Rom. 2:21-24
Repentance for complicity of the Church in acts of iniquity and lawlessness. Many professing Christians are equally guilty of the rebellion against the moral standard of God in Nigeria.
3. Eph. 6: 12
Take authority over the spirits of darkness supervising and promoting iniquity and rebellion in Nigeria (Matt. 16:19).
4. Matt. 12:29
Take authority over the satanic strongman assigned to keep Nigeria under bondage to sin and lawlessness. Dethrone this prince of darkness and his forces and cast them out.
5. Isaiah 7:7; Lam. 3:37
There is an ancient conspiracy that started in the days of Lord Lugard, to place Nigeria under religious bondage. A few days ays ago, the British Foreign Minister announced this bondage in unmistakable terms, listing Nigeria as among 'Muslim countries.' Pray that it shall not stand, nor come to pass.
6. Ps. 94:20
Destroy every foundation of lawlessness and corruption that the British laid for Nigeria, starting with the first election in this country that was rigged by the British colonialists.
Ps. 89: 14 Pray that the four pillars of the throne of God: righteousness, justice, mercy, and truth shall henceforth sustain governance in Nigeria.
7. Ps.24
Proclaim Nigeria is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof. Command every spiritual gate in Nigeria to open for the King of Glory to enter Nigeria.

Ps. 46:1
NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 27th November – Sunday 3rd December, 2023
He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas (Matt. 16:2–4).
There is a sign, which a wicked and adulterous generation seeks: more miracles and wonders; but that sign shall not be given to it. Rather, a different sign shall be sent: the sign of Prophet Jonah.
What is the sign of Prophet Jonah? “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown” (Jonah 3: 4).
A discerning mind does not require prophecy to perceive that something is about to happen in this season. As loving as the Almighty God is, He will not permit iniquity and rebellion to reign supreme the way it is manifesting in Nigeria. God in His mercy has been sending signals, that He is about to judge.
A sister shared a revelation during the week, stating, “As I worshipped, my eyes got opened and I saw an angel dressed like a Jewish Rabbi, standing with a uniquely shaped Shofar, ready to blow. The angel said, ‘I have come to announce a new season upon the Earth.’”
The Wailing Women Worldwide received a message while on a retreat in Spain. The message said, “Escape, escape, escape from the wrath of God that is to come: (a warning from God to everyone, both Christian believers and unbelievers)”.
Still, another sister shared the revelation of a man fleeing in terror and screaming, “Judgment is coming, judgment is coming”.
Prophet Jonah proclaimed judgment. That proclamation was met with repentance in Nineveh, and the judgment was averted.
How will this generation respond to the sign of Prophet Jonah? How will Nigeria respond to the signs of the times? More importantly, how will you respond? Something is about to happen. Look at the signs of the times.
1). Rom. 2:1-2
Praise God that His judgment “is according to truth”. God will judge each one of us according to the truth of our doings. Bless God that the righteous shall not share in the judgment of the ungodly.
2). Ps. 139:23–24
Pray for personal consecration to God, and sanctification from sin and evil. Pray for grace to remain pure and sinless.
3). Luke 21:34–36
Pray for grace to be accounted worthy to escape whatever is going to happen in Nigeria and in the world. Pray for grace not only to escape but also to be qualified to stand before Jesus Christ in glory. Pray for all the members of your family, that they shall be accounted worthy to escape.
4). John 1:5
All the wickedness we see in Nigeria are the works of darkness. Pray for the light of God to destroy every work of darkness in Nigeria. Pray that that light shall expose all the workers of darkness and render their powers null and void in the country.
5). Ps. 18:28
Pray for the light of God to fill your spirit, soul, and heart. Pray that wherever darkness is operating in your life, the light of God shall shine upon it and nullify its power and its works.
6). Heb. 1:7
Pray for the Church of God in Nigeria, that fresh fire shall be poured upon it from heaven; that the fire of God shall consume from it everything that displeases Him. May it be purification by fire for Nigeria Church.
7). Matt. 6:10
Pray that the government of the Kingdom of God shall be established in Nigeria; that every government of fraud and wickedness shall be uprooted from the land.
Amen.

Ps. 46:1
NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 20th - Sunday 26th November 2023
"And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding" (Daniel 2:21).
In three instances in the Scriptures, God talks about "times and seasons". In Daniel 2:21, the Scriptures make it clear that God controls the times and seasons. In Acts 1:7, the Bible tells us that there are specific times and seasons that God keeps close to Himself, while 1 Thessalonians 5:1 confirms that there are certain times and seasons that the saints have been given the power to know.
Any Christian assembly that lacks knowledge of the times and seasons that they ought to know will always act out of alignment with the perfect will of God. Christian leadership that does not understand the times and seasons that God has appointed for the Church and the nation will fail in its assignment.
Ecc. 3:1-8 admonishes that there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. There is a time to love, and there is a time to hate. There is a time for war, there is a time for peace.
What time and season do we now have in Nigeria?
We are in a time and season in which iniquity is full. Every aspect of the country is brimming over with iniquity. Even the institutions established to curtail iniquity and lawlessness have themselves become lawless and sinful. To worsen matters, the Church that should be the moral standard for the country is not free. Never in the history of Christianity in Nigeria has the Church witnessed a generation of Church leaders whose only interest is Mammon. The Christian virtues of integrity, faithfulness and fear of God make no meaning to many Christian leaders.
When iniquity is full, judgment must follow. God has been sending signals in recent days that He is set to commence judgment in Nigeria. Our responsibility as intercessors is to understand what God wants to do and align with Him in the place of prayers. This is the season to intensify prayers for God to judge the wicked and the ungodly in Nigeria. It is clear that unless God executes judgment without further delay, more innocent lives will be lost, and more destruction will befall the country. Wickedness is the auto pilot in Nigeria. Only the judgment of God can apply the brakes.
This is no time to pray for God's mercy on wicked leaders, within and outside the Church. Isaiah 26:10 makes it clear, "If favor is shown to the wicked, he does not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he deals corruptly and does not see the majesty of the Lord." The wicked do not respond to mercy; they respond to judgment.
The prayer for God to judge the wicked and the ungodly in Nigeria must continue. We must pray through for God to commence judgment on evil and wickedness in Nigeria.
Isaiah 26:9 says, "For when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness."
Only the judgment of God can teach Nigeria righteousness.
Pray for judgment.
1. Isaiah 33: 22: "For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us."
Worship and bless the LORD who is our judiciary, our legislature, and our presidency. He is the Judge of all flesh. Call on Him to save Nigeria by His righteous judgment.
2. 1 Pet. 4:17 - Call upon God to commence His judgment within the Church. Pray that God will purge the Nigeria Church of everyone and everything that defiles and pollutes the Body of Christ.
3. Isaiah 4:4-5: Pray that God will purge the Nigeria Church with "the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning."
Pray that God shall restore His glory to the Church after cleansing it of its filth.
4. Malachi 3:5: Pray for God to come swiftly in judgment against sorcerers, occultists, oppressors, and all wicked and evil leaders in Nigeria. Let God be a swift witness against them in judgment.
5. Isaiah 26:9-11: Nigeria has become a lawless, reckless, and unjust country. Pray that God will teach Nigeria righteousness through the manifestation of His fiery judgment. Pray God's hand to move in righteous indignation against wicked souls in this country.
6. Ps. 9:7-9: Pray that God will sit in judgment over every case that the judiciary in Nigeria has judged unrighteously; that God will execute judgment upon every case that the judiciary compromised.
7. Ecc. 8:11: Pray that God will arise and speedily execute judgment in Nigeria, to halt the society from self destruction.

“God is our refuge and strength.…”
Ps. 46:1
NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 13th November – Sunday 19th November 2023
After the solemn assembly organized by the National Prayer Altar in October 2023, we drew consolation from the word of God that “we have received mercy; we faint not.” (2 Cor. 4: 1) The mercy of God has two sides. While one side brings life and refreshing to the oppressed and downtrodden, the other side executes judgment and punishment upon the oppressors and the wicked. It was in mercy that God brought Israel out of bondage in Egypt; it was also in demonstration of God’s mercy that Pharaoh and his hosts were drowned in the Red Sea (Ps. 136:13–15).
As we have received mercy, it is inevitable that judgment will come upon the enemies of God in Nigeria. After the solemn assembly, prophetic messages came in quick succession (interestingly, not from the National Altar) that judgment was imminent. Various prophetic messengers, from within and outside Nigeria, delivered the same message: judgment is coming.
In anticipation of God’s mercy and deliverance for the oppressed and downtrodden people of Nigeria, prayers should commence to hasten the judgment of God. We should not discountenance the ability of those in the occult to see judgment approaching and in response, commence spiritual manipulations to either delay it or divert it upon innocent people. We must insist in the place of prayers that those “who eat sour grapes, their teeth shall be set on edge” (Jer. 31:29–30) and those who dig pits of destruction for Nigerians shall fall into their own pit (Ecc. 10:8). Amen.
When God’s judgments are upon the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. God’s judgment produces righteousness. (Isaiah 26: 9 – 11) Righteousness produces peace (Isaiah 32: 17) Therefore, if Nigerians want peace, they should pray for God’s judgment upon the wicked in the country. It is evident that only the judgment of God will teach righteousness to the wicked and powerful in Nigeria. No amount of appeal or supplication will work.
This week, we shall concentrate prayers for God to hasten the commencement of His judgment, so that Nigeria will learn righteousness and eventually have peace.
1. Ps. 68:1–3: Thank God for rising to execute judgment upon evil and wickedness in Nigeria. Pray that God will arise and all His enemies in Nigeria will scatter.
2. Isaiah 26:9–11: Pray that God will teach Nigeria righteousness through the execution of His judgment.
3. Ez. 9:5–6: Pray that the judgment of God will start from the Church, and destroy occult practitioners, cultists, warlocks and witches, fraudsters, sex perverts, and servants of mammon who masquerade as servants of Christ (2 Cor. 11:13–15).
4. Ezekiel 18:1–4: Pray that the judgment of God shall spare the innocent. Pray that anyone who does not need to be judged will not partake of the judgment of God.
5. Ezekiel 9:4 Pray for yourself and members of your family, that you will not share in the punishment of the wicked. Pray that God will set His mark upon you and upon the members of your family.
6. Ez. 11:2–11: Pray and cancel with the blood of Jesus every sorcery, ritual, or form of satanic manipulation to hinder the judgment of God or to defer it in any way. Pray that whatever the wicked wants to do to hinder the judgment of God, it will not work.
7. Ps 24:7–10: Command every spiritual gate in Nigeria to open for the King of Glory and the hosts of heaven to enter Nigeria and execute God’s judgment upon the wicked and upon the unrighteous powers in Nigeria. Amen.

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 6th October – Sunday 12th November 2023
The Lord handed over to us a gospel with dual focus: repentance from sin and the coming kingdom of God. The Bible makes it clear in many verses that Jesus went about preaching the kingdom of God. Matt. 4: 23; 10: 7; Mk. 1: 14 – 15.
The conflict in the world is between the kingdom of God headed by Jesus, and the kingdom of the world, headed by Lucifer. It is this conflict that has pushed prayers out of schools and made Christianity the most hated and persecuted religion in the world.
In Nigeria, the contest between the kingdom of God and that of the world is responsible for the persecution of Christians and the unconcealed attempts to make one religion superior in the country contrary to the secularity of the country enunciated in Section 10 of the 1999 Constitution.
Various malevolent actors, both state and non-state, have demonstrated hatred and intolerance towards the Church and Christians. Unfortunately, many undiscerning Christians (many of these in the leadership), believe they can maintain cordial relationship with the world without compromising Christian standards. (James 4: 4) The result is a weak and corrupt Church.
There is an intentional plan, enunciated in the Abuja Declarations 1989 and the OIC strategy meeting of 1983, to “eradicate in all its forms and ramifications, Christianity” in Nigeria. In 2014, this vital information was contested by many Christian leaders who ignored prophetic warnings and brought a jihadist government into power. After eight years of the Buhari Administration, most of those who disbelieved, no longer have any dissenting opinion.
A few days ago, a notorious Islamist was in Nigeria and described the Nigerian Air Force as the “Muslim Air Force”. He also referred to the head of Islam in Nigeria as the “heads of state”. These statements should not be taken lightly. Around the same period, information surfaced in the media that five Air Force Officers were arrested and jailed since 2021 for attending a program of Christian Association of Nigeria in Kaduna. These are worrisome signals in a country that carries 89% of global mortality because of persecution of Christians.
It is true Jesus Christ promised that “hell shall not prevail” against His Church. However, what happened to Egypt, Algeria, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Lebanon, Turkey, and other countries that were once Christian nations but were Islamised? The promise of the Lord that hell shall not prevail is certain, but what would happen if some sons of the Kingdom open the gate for hell, because of greed and compromise? In this season, the Nigeria Church requires leaders who are free from greed and covetousness.
A prophetic warning from God in 2013 gave the Nigeria Church 30 years to put its house in order or else it might end up like Turkey. Ten years after God’s warning, some Church leaders endorsed the Muslim-Muslim ticket and consolidated political power in the hands of jihadists. It is time to stand for the kingdom of God. Our gospel is the gospel of the kingdom.
1. Matt. 16: 18 – 19: Thank God for His promise that hell shall not prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ. Pray that Nigeria will not become like one of the countries in which Christianity was destroyed.
2. Is. 42: 18 – 20 Pray for God to deliver the Nigeria Church from leaders who, through spiritual blindness, make the enemies of the Lord their friends and financiers.
3. Rev. 3: 15 – 17: Pray for God to speedily judge all Church leaders who place the love of money above loyalty to Jesus Christ.
4. Isaiah 63: 3 – 6: Pray that the Lord will step in and redress every compromise that has made the Nigeria Church weak and a prey to enemies.
5. Isaiah 59: 16 – 18: Pray that the Lord shall clothe Himself with zeal and enter Nigeria to repay fury to His enemies, both within and outside the Church.
6. Jeremiah 10: 11: Pray that every religion that is conspiring evil against Christianity in Nigeria shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.
7. Matt. 6: 10: In this war between the two kingdoms, pray that the kingdom of God shall prevail, and it shall be solidly established in Nigeria.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 30th October – Sunday 5th November 2023
A Nigerian commented recently on the social media that he owed Ms. Mmesoma Ejikeme an apology. That was the secondary school girl who fraudulently inflated her JAMB scores to award herself the highest score in Nigeria. The entire country castigated the young girl for her fraudulent audacity. What Nigerians condemned in one breath, is being celebrated in the other breath.
The Yoruba people have a proverb, that you do not obtain a blessing by fraud. Now that Nigeria has legalized illegality, what next?
Interestingly, our concern is this matter is not politicians but some of our church leaders, who repeatedly act in ways not consistent with the principles and ethics of the gospel they claim to preach. Radical Muslims were facilitated into office in 2015 by some Christian leaders. They were re-elected in 2019 by the direct intervention of colluding church leaders, and the Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2023 was endorsed by many church leaders even though they claimed the opposite. Their actions keep speaking louder than their words.
It seems church leaders are least concerned about the tens of thousands of Christians that have been murdered by radical Muslims. Neither do they appear bothered about the many Christian communities sacked by insurgents and taken over by Muslims.
It is also clear that church leaders pay little attention to God’s prophetic warning. On Saturday 14th September 2013, God warned, “If care is not taken, in 30 – 40 years, Nigeria will be like Turkey.” Ten years after that prophetic warning, church leaders consolidated political power in the hands of the Muslims through their endorsement of the Muslim-Muslim ticket. The premature congratulatory letters of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) while the case was still in court, and the press conference of PFN after the Supreme Court ruling, are evidence of questionable endorsement.
Well, maybe our church leaders know something that we do not know. If that is correct, they are yet to share their superior knowledge with us. However, from what we have seen of Nigeria since Buhari was President, there are justifiable reasons to be worried about the politics of religion, which has caused unwarranted tension, distrust, and destruction in Nigeria.
As Christians, all we can do is to pray and petition God to deliver His Church, and this country, from leaders who place their personal selfish interests above the interest of their followers. It is in realization of these facts that the National Prayer Altar has called a Solemn Assembly this week, from 29th October – 31st October 2023, to repent of what the Bible describes as “iniquity of the sanctuary” (Num. 18:1).
1. Isaiah 52:3: The Nigeria Church was compromised with the vanities of the world, which amounts to “nought” in the Presence of God. Pray that both the Church and Nigeria shall be redeemed by God without money.
2. Jer. 31:29–30; Ez. 18:1–4: Pray that the indignation of God shall be restricted to those who compromised truth and righteousness both in the Church and in the country. Remind God that the guilty priests alone should bear the iniquity of the sanctuary (Num. 18:1).
3. 2 Chro. 7:14: Pray that in this week of repentance, God shall have mercy and hear our prayers and heal our land.
4. Mal. 3:3: Pray that God shall “sit as a refiner and purifier of silver” and purge the Nigeria Church of whatever defiles the sanctuary of God.
5. Jer. 24:7: Pray that God will turn the heart of Nigerian Christians back to Him. Pray that the Church shall cease to pursue vanities of the world and seek God only.
6. Acts 1:8: Pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon Nigerian Christians, that will make them do the will of God and seek only God’s approval. Pray that the Nigeria Church shall be a witnessing Church.
7. Psalm 75:5–7: Pray that God will promote righteous and God-fearing Christians into positions of leadership in the Church. Pray that God will raise a new set of leaders for His Church in Nigeria

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 23rd October – Sunday 29th October 2023
The National Prayer Altar has scheduled Sunday 29th – Tuesday 31st October, 2023 for a national solemn assembly to repent of the sins, transgressions, and iniquities of the Church in Nigeria. The focus of this solemn assembly is to address what the Bible calls “the iniquity of the sanctuary” (Num. 18: 1). Prominent among the actors in the iniquities are the priests, who have been able to act with impunity because Christians indulge them and fail to demand Godly accountability from them. This points to the need to re-check our individual salvation. There could not be so many people going to Church in Nigeria yet the country is globally reproached for corruption, greed, and lawlessness. It does not add up.
In 2009, God gave a double revelation that only 24 people would have been raptured in the city of Ibadan had the rapture taken place then. Elementary Geography teaches that Ibadan was the largest city in West Africa.
Recently, God gave another revelation of the rapture to another trusted sister in which, out of 100 remnants, only 60 were approved of God. The remnants are a group of disciples in the Church who, like the ten virgins, are awaiting the return of the Lord. When the sister cried out in the revelation on account of the severity of the judgment, the Lord told her that He would not lower His standards. This should be of great concern to every heavenly-minded Christian.
The Lord made only one promise to His people: “And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life” (1 John 2: 25). This is the only instance in the New Testament in which the Lord makes a promise to His people.
God the Father gave His Son for only one purpose: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3: 16). Christianity is about eternal life. Any other promise in the Church is secondary. Christians who have revelation of eternal life do not need anyone to tell them to be holy or righteous. This is the crucial teaching that is lacking in the Church.
As we approach the week of solemn assembly, let us re-check our salvation.
1. Matt. 1: 21: Thank the Almighty God for sending Jesus to save you from your sins.
2. I John 1: 9 – 10: Confess to God every sin that is witnessing against your conscience that you have offended God. Between you and God, lay everything bare and ask for forgiveness in the Name of Jesus.
3. 1 Tim. 5: 24: Pray that Holy Spirit will bring to your remembrance every sin that you might have forgotten, even though the consequences are being experienced.
4. John 6: 34 – 36: Pray for deliverance from the sin nature, called the “Adamic nature” or “the old man”. Pray that Jesus will make you free indeed from sin, transgression, and iniquity.
5. Acts 16: 31: Pray that every member of your family shall be saved. Intercede passionately for your family, particularly your children.
6. 1 Thes. 5: 1 – 6: Pray that the coming of the Lord shall not catch you unawares. Pray for soberness and spiritual alertness. Pray that you will not be disqualified on the day of the rapture.
7. 1 Tim. 2: 3 – 4: God wants all men to be saved. Intercede for the salvation of every unsaved soul. Pray that the goodness of God shall lead unsaved souls to repentance.

NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 16th October – Sunday 22nd October 2023
1 Cor. 11: 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
There are two ways in which controversies are resolved with God: through repentance by man or judgment from God. Whenever man offends God then turns to God in genuine repentance, judgment is averted. However, if man does not repent, he incures God’s wrath and judgment.
From the current state of the Nigerian Church, it is evident that there are controversies between God and the Church. We are aware that the apex body of Christianity organized a solemn assembly in 2022. Regrettably, whatever might have been the benefit of that gathering, it was frittered away when the Church turned around and threw its weight again behind a jihadist party in the 2023 elections. The endorsement by the Church, of the controversial jihadist candidate, calls for fresh introspection by Christians. It is spiritually insensitive of Church leaders to endorse a political party that supervised genocide against Christians.
The National Prayer Altar is calling for 3 days of solemn assembly in October 2023 to offer repentance to God on behalf of the Nigeria Church. We have the assurance of God in 2 Chro. 7: 14 that “If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face … I will hear from heaven … and heal their land.” God wants to hear from “His people”.
1. Hosea 6: 1 – 2: Pray for a penitent heart amongst Nigerian Christians. Pray that the hearts of the Christians shall be tender, and the Church shall acknowledge its faults before God.
Rom. 2: 4: Pray that the goodness of the Lord shall lead Nigerian Christians to repentance.
2. Joel 2: 15 – 17: Pray that Church leaders shall be broken and penitent to offer genuine repentance to God.
Pray that there shall be deliberate forsaking of the pride and covetousness of some Church leaders that weakened Christianity in Nigeria.
3. Mal. 2: 6 - 7: Pray that God shall sanctify the leaders of the Church in Nigeria. Pray that the scandals and evil reports associated with Christian leadership shall be heard no more.
4. Gal. 1: 8 – 9: Pray that God will speedily judge all those who teach error and pervert the gospel of Jesus Christ.
5. 1 Cor. 4: 1 – 2: Pray for faithfulness and integrity amongst leaders of the Church in Nigeria.
6. John 15: 1 – 2: Pray that God will purge the leadership of the Nigeria Church. In addition, pray that God will purge the entire Church of everything that defiles, pollutes, and corrupts the Body of Christ in Nigeria.
7. Rev. 3: 8: Pray for the faithful ministers of God in the land, that God will promote them and place them in positions of authority in the Church.

Monday 9th October – Sunday 15th October 2023
On Saturday 7th October 2023, fifty years after the Yom Kippur war, a globally recognized terrorist group, Hamas, attacked Israel setting off a conflict that could have far reaching consequences. There are speculations that, for Hamas to have breached the security architecture of Israel, they might have obtained help from one of the two countries capable of such a technological breach:
USA and Russia. It is less likely that the US would help the terrorists to attack Israel. Nikki Haley, former US ambassador to the UN, said, “Israel does not need America; America needs Israel.” If Russia had a hand in the terrorist invasion of Israel, the attack by Hamas might turn into a greater conflict. That larger conflict, with Israel and the Arabs as the centrepiece, could provide the grounds for the emergence of the Antichrist.
2 Thes. 2:7-8 reveals that the Wicked one will manifest when the hinderer of lawlessness will “be taken out of the way”. The rapture of the Church signals the last week-year in the prophecy of Daniel (Dan. 9). For the Antichrist to come as a man of peace, there must be a colossal conflict that he will resolve between Israel and its enemies. The world might be heading in the direction of that conflict. Therefore, Christians must be alert to global events as they signal the fulfilment of Biblical prophecies. In addition, Christians must pay attention to personal salvation and ensure that their garment is washed daily in the blood of the Lamb of God.
Rom. 13:11 - "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed."
1. Ps. 122: 6 – 9: Pray for Israel.
2. Rom. 13: 11 – 14: Pray that the coming of the Lord will not catch you unawares.
1 Thes. 5: 4 – 9: Pray for grace to be awake and alert in the Spirit when the Lord would come or call.
3. Acts 16: 31: Pray for the salvation of all the members of your family.
4. Dan. 12: 3; Prov. 11: 30: Pray that God will make you useful as a soul winner. Pray for grace to win souls into the Kingdom of God.
5. 1 Tim. 2: 3 – 4: Intercede for the salvation of your community, state, and country.
6. Mark 16: 15: Pray that the Church shall return her focus to the Great Commission. Pray that missions and soul winning shall be restored to their prime positions in the Church.
7. 2 Thes. 3: 1 – 2: Pray for missionaries, evangelists and all soul winners, for strength, fruitfulness, and divine provision.

Monday 2nd October – Sunday 8th October 2023
On 1st October 2023, Nigeria celebrated its 63rd Independence anniversary. It is customary to express well wishes to birthday celebrants. As a community of intercessors, let us wish Nigeria well on the occasion of its 63rd birthday anniversary.
Out of frustration and disappointments with the government, many Nigerians have cursed, abused, reproached, and condemned the country. No entity brings forth the best it has if it is consistently condemned the way some people have been castigating the country. The power of life and death is in the tongue (Prov. 18: 21). As Christians, let us bless Nigeria and pronounce life upon our country.
1. Lam. 3: 22-23 - “It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”
Thank God that Nigeria did not die an untimely death even though there have been many threats to the survival of the country.
2. Ps. 94 - Pray that all the wicked and evil people who have been troubling Nigeria shall be no more.
Pray that wicked and evil people shall no longer have access to power and authority in Nigeria.
3. John 1:5 - Pray that the powers of darkness working against Nigeria shall be destroyed by the light of God.
Isaiah 60:1-2 - Pray that the light and glory of God will shine all over Nigeria.
4. Hab. 2: 14 - Pray that the knowledge of the glory of God shall cover Nigeria as the waters cover the sea.
5. Is. 54:13 - Pray for the coming generation of Nigerians that, they shall be filled with goodness, decency, and the fear of God.
6. Is. 60:16–20 – Currently, Nigeria is known as the poverty capital of the world. Pray that the tide shall change, and Nigeria shall become the wealth capital of the world.
Pray that it shall be well with Nigeria. Pronounce blessings upon the country.
7. Matthew 6:10 - Pray that the government of the Kingdom of God shall replace the government of the wicked and unrighteous people that has been tormenting Nigeria for many years.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 25th September – Sunday 1st October 2023
The last day during this prayer week will be 1st October, when Nigerians will celebrate the country’s 63rd Independence Anniversary. A 63-year old man is considered a full-grown adult, by human calendar, but not so in the calendar of nations. A 63-year old country is young in the community of nations. There are nations that are thousands of years old.
The journey of Nigeria to nationhood has been slow and tortuous but God has been kind and merciful. If it had not been the Lord Who was on our side, the story of Nigeria would have been much worse.
From its inception, Nigeria has demonstrated signs of its prophetic mandate. The link between Nigeria and Israel cannot be mere coincidence.
For example, Nigeria gained Independence on 1st October 1960, the day Israel celebrated “Yom Kippur”, the “Day of Atonement”. In addition, the colonial government minted coins for Nigeria and stamped them with the Star of David. Those coins entered post-independent Nigeria.
In various prophecies, God has confirmed that Nigeria is a missionary nation with prophetic mandate to take the light of the gospel to the nations of the world. A country that has these prophetic mandates is bound to come under heavy assault from the forces of darkness.
Despite the current gloominess in the country, there is a lot to thank God for. Nigeria's prophetic mandate is a reason for which to continue to dedicate the country to God.
1. Ps. 124 - Thank God for His protection and the preservation of Nigeria as a country. If the forces of darkness and some hostile foreign nations have had their way, Nigeria would have been destroyed. Thank God for preserving the country.
2. Thank God for the prophetic mandate of Nigeria as a “sheep nation” that He will use to fulfil His mandate in the Last Day gathering of souls into His Kingdom. In a vision that God gave to Pastor Elton, Africa was shown as a pistol, with Nigeria in the trigger position and South Africa the muzzle.
3. Thank God for blessing Nigeria with abundant resources, a good climate, stable weather conditions and protection from natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, landslides, tsunamis, and typhoons.
4. Thank God for an abundant and vibrant human population. While some nations of the world are experiencing population decline, Nigeria has a huge segment of its population under 25 years. In addition, Nigerians excel wherever they go in the world.
5. Pray that as Nigeria turns 63 years, God will hasten His promises concerning the country and purge Nigeria from all works of darkness.
Isaiah 26: 9 – 11 - Pray that God will judge evil in Nigeria and teach the country righteousness.
6. Pray that the government of the Kingdom of God shall be established upon Nigeria. Matt. 6: 9 – 13.
7. Proclaim Isaiah 60 upon Nigeria

Ps. 46:1
NATIONAL PRAYER ALTAR
MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 18th September – Sunday 24th September 2023
Isaiah 54:13 "All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children."
If Nigeria is going to have a glorious future that will do the will of God, the youths and the children must grow up in godliness and fear of God. The state of the majority of Nigerian youths is distressing. At present, many of Nigeria's youths are involved in cyber-crimes, the occult, money rituals, drugs, and unbridled sexual immorality. A generation of parents compromised the Godly parenting and discipline that they themselves had received while growing up. Some of these parents became permissive and indulgent under the guise of 'western civilization,' and others were consumed with the desire to 'make ends meet.' Consequently, they neglected parental oversight.
In addition, the sudden transition of the African society from communal parenting to nuclear families has not helped matters either. In traditional African society, it took the community to raise a child.
This week, we shall focus prayers on Nigeria's youths. There is a prophecy in which God promised to use Nigerian youths wonderfully if they are brought up in His ways. Some of our youths have shown seeds of greatness, but those who are immoral and rebellious are in the majority.
The Millennial Generation, Generation Z, Generation Alpha, the social media generation ... they all need prayers.
1. Ps. 127:3: Thank God for making Nigerians fruitful in procreation. While some nations are suffering a decline in population and are at risk of cultural and racial extinction in the next few decades, Nigeria has a thriving youth population. Thank God for the fruitfulness of Nigerians.
2. Job 39:13–17: Ask forgiveness for the criminal negligence of many parents in bringing up their children.
Prov. 19:18. Pray that parents shall turn around and focus on the Godly upbringing of their children.
3. Prov. 22:6: Pray for the restoration of Godly discipline in schools.
Prov. 23:13–14: The moral education and discipline that helps in character formation has been discarded through government policies and the collapse of the educational system. Pray for a restoration.
4. Isaiah 54:13: Ask God's forgiveness for Nigeria's youths, and deliverance from immorality, sensualities, licentiousness and the greed for money that currently characterize many of them.
5. 1 Tim. 6:6–12: Pray that churches will discard the ungodly focus on money and prosperity, and return to pure Gospel doctrines that produce Christlike character in youths and all Christians.
6. Joel 2:28–29: Pray for revival. Pray that God shall again visit schools in Nigeria as He did in the 70s and 80s.
7. Matt. 6:9–10: Pray that the Kingdom of God shall come upon Nigeria and that God’s prophetic agenda for the country shall speedily come to pass. Amen.

Monday 11th September – Sunday 17th September 2023
1. 1 Thes. 5:18: The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal gave its judgment last week, and it cast a dark pall over the country. Just as when the nocturnal announcement of the election results was made on 25th February 2023, the land went into mourning.
The word of God commands us to give thanks in all situations. Whether we like what happened or not, God’s command is for us to give Him thanks. God knows what He is doing. “… the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men …” Dan. 4:25
Thank God for Nigeria, thank God for all that the country is going through, and thank God that the Most High is in control.
2. Isaiah 32:10 & 15: Pray again for the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon Nigeria, to bring an end to decades of trouble and confusion in the land.
3. Acts 2:1–4: Pray for Holy Ghost revival in the Nigeria Church. Pray that God will revive His people and cause them to return to Christlikeness.
4. Mark 16:15–18: Pray for salvation of souls all over Nigeria. Pray that Christians shall return to evangelism. Pray that the character and attitude of Christians shall return to the Christlikeness that will draw lost souls into the Kingdom of God.
5. 1 Cor. 11:31; 1 Peter 4:17: Pray for the discipline of the Holy Spirit to rest upon the Nigeria Church such that Christians would no longer tolerate sin and iniquity in the Body of Christ. Pray that a zeal for truth and righteousness shall propel Christians to execute judgment on corruption and immorality in the Church.
6. Is. 55:10–11: Pray and hasten the fulfilment of the prophetic mandate of God for Nigeria. Pray that every prophecy of God concerning a new Nigeria shall speedily come to pass.
7. The word of God, in Ps. 149:5–9, gives the saints of God the honour to execute judgment. Stand on Job 20:4–29 and execute judgment upon those who loot the treasury of Nigeria, the riggers of elections and their accomplices, those who dispense injustice and unrighteousness in our courts, as well as those who promote oppression and evil in the land.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 4th September – Sunday 10th September 2023
1. Hab. 3: 17 – 19: We acknowledge that Nigeria is going through turbulence economically, politically, and socially. Yet, there remain credible reasons for thanksgiving to God. Pray in thanksgiving, for the Lord is good and His mercy endures forever, notwithstanding all the challenges facing the country.
2. Mal. 3: 1 – 3: Christianity in Nigeria is facing a lot of crises primarily due to the lack of Godly character amongst Christians. The scandals and evils reports amongst the saints are distressing. It is difficult to find Christians who are Christlike in conduct.
Pray that God will sit as refiner and purifier of silver in the Nigeria Church and purge Christians of every evil and abominable work.
3. A Church without moral authority cannot exercise spiritual authority. Through multiple acts of disobedience and rebellion against God, the Nigeria Church has lost moral authority. The guiltiest group is the leadership of the Church.
2 10: 3 – 6: In the ongoing spiritual warfare in the country, the Church requires perfect obedience to punish and restrain every satanic operation in the country.
Pray again that God would purge the Nigeria Church of every evil work, worldliness, greed, and covetousness.
4. Jude 3-4: Christians are commanded to contend earnestly for the faith because “certain men [have] crept in unawares” into the Church. There are people in the Church who have no business with Jesus Christ. Their god is mammon. According to 1 Cor. 5: 12 – 13, Execute judgment upon every ungodly, hypocritical, and pretentious Christian leader in the Nigeria Church. Pray that God would speedily judge every Christian leader who has turned the grace of Jesus God into “lasciviousness”. Jude 4.
5. Heb. 12: 22 – 24: Pray against every altar of darkness promoting illegality and injustice in Nigeria. Plead the blood of Jesus to silence every voice that proceeds from altars of darkness in the land.
Pray that the satanic priests and priestesses servicing the altars of darkness shall be cut-off from this country.
6. As the country draws closer to 16th September 2023 when the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal shall give judgment, tension is building up in the country.
According to Daniel 7: 21-22, Pray that the Ancient of Days would sit in judgment over Nigeria and give judgment to the saints and to all who love truth and righteousness in the country.
7. Government has issued another warning that flooding shall be experienced in various parts of the country. The flooding of Nigeria in 2022 left in its wake serious destructions.
Gen. 9: 9 – 16: Intercede that God would remember His covenant with man and restrain the rainwater from becoming destructive flood all over the country again.
Also, pray that responsible people shall take over government and implement preventive measures against perennial flooding of the country.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 28th August – Sunday 3rd September 2023
1. Ps. 124 – Thank God for preserving Nigeria.
2. Prov. 29: 26 As all eyes are on the judiciary, the Word of God reminds us that righteous judgment comes from the Lord.
Pray that God, the Righteous Judge of all flesh, shall judge the Presidential Election Petition case for Nigeria.
Pray that if the Justices are willing, let God work through them to give Nigeria a righteous judgment, but if they are unwilling, pray that God will still give judgment in spite of their personal inclinations.
Prov. 18: 5; Prov. 21: 3; Prov. 24: 23
3. 2 Kings 9: 1-3 Last week, a word came on various altars that God should judge idolatry and witchcraft in the land. When witchcraft, idolatry and injustice reached a zenith in Israel, God released a peculiar anointing to deal with the situation.
Nigeria is currently witnessing a flagrant display of sorcery, abominable rituals, unprecedented acts of wickedness and pervasive unrighteousness.
Pray that God shall release the anointing of Jehu upon Nigeria to deal with the evil in the land.
4. This reinforces the prayer above.
Is. 26: 9 – 11 There is need for judgment from God so that righteousness can flourish in Nigeria. According to the word of God, the judgment of God will start from the Church. 1 Pet. 4: 17.
If we truly desire righteousness and peace in the land, we must pray for God’s judgment upon evil and unrighteousness in the country. God made it clear in His word that righteousness will only come after He has executed judgment.
Pray for the judgment of God to be released upon Nigeria.
5. 1 Cor. 5: 12 – 13 God commands Christians to judge evil within the Church while He would judge the evil outside the Church. The practice in the Church is that Christians ignore evil within the Church while they judge and condemn the evil of the unbelievers.
As Christians, pray for God to judge every Church leader that sanctions and endorses this evil government that is determined to pervert the will of Nigerians and is attempting to use corruption, witchcraft, and sorcery to impose itself upon the country.
Pray that God will speedily judge any Christian leader who openly, or secretly, supports this flagrant evil in the land.
6. According to Oswald Smith, “In the Irish Revival of 1859, people became so weak that they could not get back to their homes. Men and women would fall by the wayside and would be found hours later pleading with God to save their souls. They felt that they were slipping into hell and that nothing else in life mattered but to get right with God. To them eternity meant everything. Nothing else was of any consequence. They felt that if God did not have mercy on them and save them, they were doomed for all time to come.”
Acts 2: 1 – 4 Pray for outpouring of the Holy Ghost upon Nigeria. Pray for revival.
Acts 1: 8 – Pray for the fulfilment of this promise upon Christians in Nigeria.
7. Plead the blood of Jesus to cover Nigeria and nullify every operation of Satan and his forces in the country.
Plead the blood of Jesus to cancel every divination, incantation, invocation of evil, necromancy, sorcery, and every evil word that is released into Nigeria.
Is. 8: 10 – Decree that no word from the kingdom of darkness shall stand in Nigeria.

1. In spite of the many challenges facing Nigeria, there is abundant reason for thanksgiving and praise. Ps. 92: 1 – 4.
Thank God for restraining the outbreak of violence and destruction all over the country.
2. John 1: 4 -5: It is no longer a secret that a lot of sorcery, rituals, sacrifices, and other dark practices were, and are still being deployed, to pervert justice in Nigeria.
Pray that the light of God in Christ Jesus shall shine upon Nigeria to confound and destroy every work and power of darkness.
3. Gen. 1: 1 – 3: Pray that the Holy Spirit shall brood over Nigeria and activate the light of God all over the country.
Gen. 1: 4: Pray that God shall separate light from darkness in Nigeria. Pray for the separation of the righteous from the unrighteous in the country.

Pray for the safety and security of Nigerians, pray for the economy, the educational sector, and the government. Pray that every critical sector in the country shall be restored to newness of life.
5. Acts 1: 8: Pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Church, for it to do the works of Christ. Pray for Holy Ghost revival upon the Church.
6. Matt. 12: 29: Take authority over the satanic strongman in Nigeria. Bind the demon and cast him with his forces into outer darkness.
2 Cor. 11: 12 – 15: Pray that God will expose and judge every Church leader that supports unrighteousness, perversion of truth, and the injustice connected with the 2023 elections and their obnoxious product.
7. Lev. 19: 15 As all eyes are upon the judiciary, pray that the fear of the Lord shall rest upon the justices in the Election Petition Tribunals, as well as upon those in the Supreme Court.

MARATHON PRAYERS
Monday 14th August – Sunday 20th August 2023
The late Apostle Ayo Babalola had a vision of being in the presence of God while the Most High was distributing gifts to nations. In the vision, nation after nation came forward and God handed a gift over to them from a basket. As he watched, the gifts in the basket finished and nothing had been given to the black race. He started weeping profusely that nothing was given to Nigeria and the black race.
In the vision, God consoled him and assured him that the best gift was reserved for Nigeria and the black race. God promised that because of the gift He has reserved for the black race, all the other nations will lay their gifts at the feet of Africa.
God told Apostle Babalola that the gift is the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit shall be given to Nigeria and to the black race if they would welcome Him and appreciate Him.
This is the third week of prayers for the Holy Spirit to be poured upon Nigeria. The prayer call was raised from Isaiah 32: 10, 15 which says that for many days and years we shall be troubled until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high.
With the added assurance that God will give Nigeria the Holy Spirit, based on the vision of Apostle Ayo Babalola, we shall continue with the righteous demand for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon Nigeria.
1. Thank God for the promise of the Holy Spirit based on Isaiah 32: 15 and the vision of Apostle Babalola. Pray in thanksgiving and remind God to fulfil His promise to Nigeria.
2. Gen. 1: 1 -3 When the earth was without form and void, Holy Spirit brought light and order into the darkness of the earth.
Pray that the Holy Spirit shall give Nigeria light that will destroy every work of darkness in the country.
Pray that the presence and power of Holy Spirit shall restore order into Nigeria and bring restoration and times of refreshing to the land.
3. Luke 11: 13 Pray again that God will respond to the prayer of the saints in Nigeria and pour His Spirit upon the country.
4. Acts 1: 8 Pray for the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon the saints so that there shall be revival in the land.
5. It was shared that in 1986, Pastor Elton delivered two prophecies concerning Nigeria. One of the prophecies is that Nigeria would stink globally due to corruption, but that the tide would change and Nigeria would become a light to the nations.
The other prophecy is that God would purge the Nigeria Church and severely judge false ministers of the gospel.
A lot of prayers concentrated on the first part of the prophecy.
Pray that the prophesied judgment of God upon the Church shall commence, so that false ministers preachers would be judged as foretold in prophecy.
6. A traditionalist (may God save his soul) expressed horror at the unprecedented abominable sacrifices that were done by a politician to gain political power in the 2023 election. It was a situation reminiscent of the abominable sacrifice of the king of Moab in 2 Kings 3: 26 – 27 which produced “great indignation” against Israel. Plead the blood of Jesus, the blood that speaks better things than the blood of Abel, to nullify every abomination, defilement, indignation, and spell cast over the land because of these abominable sacrifices.
Pray that the blood of Jesus shall nullify every satanic power that was released to sustain the wicked in political office in Nigeria.
Pray that the blood of Jesus shall nullify every spiritual indignation that was released against the land and against Nigerians.
7. Isaiah 11: 1 – 5 Pray again for the justices in the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal, that the Spirit of God shall rest upon them, and they shall give judgment in righteousness and in the fear of God.
Pray that the fear and dread of the Almighty God shall rest upon the justices.
