PROPHETIC PRAYERS FOR NIGERIA

To us in Kingdom Capstone Outreach Ministry (KCOM), the Lord revealed and declared 2015 as our Year of DIVINE LIFTING and UNPRECEDENTED UPLIFTMENT. Praise God, the same prophetic Word is being fulfilled over Nigeria in this season of Change.

As the Lord brings our nation to the threshold of national deliverance and restoration, we cannot afford to be at ease in Zion, rest on our oars, or take things for granted. Please join me in the mandate to strategically intercede for Nigeria in this week of transition. Pray along and share with others.

Prophetic Prayers for Nigeria (1)
o Lord, the Governor-among-the Nations, Nigeria is Your peculiar Project, please perfect ALL that concerns our nation…our national destiny, foundation and fabric, fortune, finances, institutions of governance at all levels, economy, politics, security, educational, industrial, agricultural, technological, health, and other social and developmental sectors.

o Let Your mercy multiply and Your favour flow abundantly over Nigeria, for You have promised to not forsake the works of Your hands.

o Thank You Father in Jesus name.

For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations (Psalm 22:28).

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands (Psalm 138:8).

Prophetic Prayers for Nigeria (2)
o We thank You Lord, for troubling the ‘troublers’ of Nigeria according to Your prophetic promises that:

“2015 shall witness the casting down of many (the corrupt, proud and wicked persons)… In 2015, the Lord will shame the proud, the wicked, and the lofty and demote those who have lifted up themselves through corruption, falsehood, and treachery. Judgement has come!” (Welcome to Year 2015 Message).

“As a nation, Nigeria’s CHANGE comes as the saints wait on the Lord! ...This is the prayer the Lord inspired me to pray for Nigeria in 2015, based on Psalm 25:22 – “Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles” – Redeem Nigeria, O God, out of ALL her troubles...and All her ‘Troublers’! This Year 2015, God will trouble the ‘troublers’ of Nigeria, confuse their tongues, and confound their schemes. Their evil manipulations and machinations will come to nought in Jesus name.” (Welcome to Year 2015 Message).

o Lord, in Your might and power, pass through Nigeria’s corridors of power and flush out every dirt, dross, and scum of corruption, impunity, impurity, idolatry, injustice, perversion, and wickedness.

o Lord, protect our in-coming leaders from the evil counsel and manipulations of the likes of Haman.

o Lord, shield the in-coming leaders from making wrong appointments, signing deceptive documents or assenting to decisions that could destabilize or destroy Nigeria’s destiny. They will never bow to the Hamans of corruption, deception, and destruction (Esther 3:8-12).

o Lord, let the remainder of Nigeria’s unrepentant enemies – like HAMAN – be demoted; let them fail, falter, and fall, so that our Nation can arise and shine!

o Lord, surround our key leaders with the likes of MORDECAI who will blow the whistle against intended atrocities, refuse to bow to the Haman of corruption, and stand for righteousness in the land (Esther 2:21-22; 3:2; 6:2-4).

Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles (Psalm 25:22).

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified (Esther 7:10).

Prophetic Prayers for Nigeria (3)
o Thank You Lord, for releasing Your winds of positive change, stilling every contrary storm, and bringing Nigeria’s ship to the harbour of national deliverance and restoration.

o We affirm that there is no other Deliverer or Messiah but You, the Almighty God; every human is but a vessel in Your hands the King of kings.

o Lord, please use the incoming President, Vice-President, and other leaders at all levels, as worthy vessels of honour in Your hands. Anoint, equip and endow them like King CYRUS of old, to be godly Shepherds, noble Builders, Restorers of the breach, to perform all Your pleasure.

o Lord, please raise up the likes of JOSEPH, ESTHER, CYRUS and DANIEL in all sectors of Nigeria’s existence: anointed and favoured men, women, youth and children, with heavenly insight, unprecedented boldness, unquestionable wisdom, and creative excellence to discover, develop and deploy Your “treasures of darkness, and the hidden riches of secret places” in order to propel the nation into her glorious destiny.

o Lord, enable the leaders You have appointed, and raise other faithful and selfless ones who would work conscientiously for Nigeria and fulfil the purpose of their placements.

That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid (Isaiah 44:28).

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel (Isaiah 45:3).

Prophetic Prayers for Nigeria (4)
o Lord, grant the in-coming leadership, at all levels, clear VISION and unique WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING to order the affairs of Nigeria and her constituent regions and states in the paths of peace, progress, and prosperity.

Solomon’s request: Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? (1 Kings 3:9).
The Lord’s answer: And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore (1 Kings 4:29).

o Lord, guide our leaders at all levels with wisdom to choose the best TEAM-MEMBERS and select the appropriate STRATEGIES that would guarantee the restoration of the nation’s glorious destiny.

Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all THE CHOICE of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians (1 Chronicles 19:10).

o Lord, EMPOWER the in-coming leadership, at all levels, to “take the bulls” – of corruption and insurgency – “by the horn” and demolish them from hanging on to the destiny of Nigeria.

o Lord, prepare your Way through Nigeria: fill all valleys, level all mountains, straighten the crooked, smoothen the rough, and reveal Your Glory in the nation!

o Lord our Strength, grant Your appointed leaders at all levels and in all spheres “strength for the battle” in the mission of rescuing Nigeria from these times of trouble and restoring her fortunes.

o Lord, equip our leaders to be bold, courageous and to not turn back from challenges in the day of battle.

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the Way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain… (Isaiah 40:3-5).

For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me (Psalm 18:39).

The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle (Psalm 78:9).

Prophetic Prayers for Nigeria (5)
o Lord, raise up within the executive, judiciary and legislative houses in Nigeria, at national and state levels, leaders like “the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times,” who would KNOW what Nigeria ought to do and wield the moral and political will to ensure equity, righteousness and justice.

And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment (1 Chronicles 12:32).

o Lord, touch the hearts of Nigeria’s EZRA’s and NEHEMIAH’s in the Diaspora, to arise, return and rebuild the broken gates and wobbling walls, and revive the crumbling institutions of the nation.

Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work (Nehemiah 2:18).

o Lord, shut the doors of Nigeria against insurgency, intrusions, invasions, manipulations, and strange winds that blow evil tidings, adversities, calamities, disasters, losses, war and destruction.

o Lord, unlock all divinely ordained doors into Nigeria’s blessing and lifting.

Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise (Isaiah 60:18).

Prophetic Prayers for Nigeria (6)
o Lord, grant NIGERIA and her new leaders – at all levels – divine FAVOUR – favour with You, with the rest of Your creation, and with the nations of the earth.

o Lord, release the forces of heaven and command the forces of the nations to work in favour of Nigeria in all dimensions of national existence.

o Every negative decree against Nigeria in the spirit realm is nullified; the counsel of the Lord alone shall stand concerning our nation.

o Lord, deliver Nigeria from the dominion of SIN; let righteousness reign in all facets of her existence.

o Lord, we affirm as Your people whom You have granted the grace to prophesy into the future of our nation NIGERIA and the power to define her destiny that:
- Nigeria belongs to the Lord
- Nigeria shall be born again
- Nigeria is destined to win
- Nigeria shall never be stranded
- Nigeria shall not miss her divine timing
- Nigeria will be divinely lifted
- Nigeria shall fulfil her destiny

Jehovah, arise and show up for Nigeria; shine Your gracious countenance upon our land once again.
Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. (Psalm 102:13).

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people (Proverbs 14:34).

Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children (Isaiah 66:8).

Shalom.

Yours for His Glory,
