About us

 We pray for Nigeria for several reasons: 

God cares about all nations and has a purpose for them, prayer provides a global perspective, Jesus commanded prayer for them, and it's a way to support missionaries and advance the gospel nationwide. Prayer can also be seen as a way to influence world events for good, promote peace and justice, and encourage the well-being of people in the nation. 


Biblical and Spiritual Reasons

God's Heart for Nations: 

Scripture from Genesis to Revelation shows God's deep concern for all people and cultures, not just one nation. 


Biblical Command: 

The Apostle Paul commanded believers to pray for all people, including their government and leaders. 


Missionary Support: 

Praying for nations is a crucial way to support missionaries who are serving in different parts of the world. 


Advancing God's Kingdom: 

Prayer is a way for believers to join God's global work and help people from every community encounter Jesus. 


Impact and Influence

Promoting Justice and Peace: 

Prayer is an expression of asking God to bring justice, righteousness, and peace to a nation. 


Gaining a Global Perspective: 

Prayer helps expand one's view of the world, fostering an appreciation for different cultures and a heart for people beyond one's own country. 


Influencing Leaders: 

Prayer is understood as a way to influence the hearts and minds of national leaders to govern with wisdom and integrity. 


Seeking Revival and Well-being: 

Prayers often ask for spiritual revival, repentance from sin, and the overall well-being of the nation's people and economy. 


Security Challenges

Responding to News about terrorism : 

Prayer can be a natural response to news headlines, providing an opportunity for intercession for the security of Nigeria. With prayers, the insurgents will stop and peace will return to the abandon villages


Supporting the Least-Reached: 

There is a strong emphasis on praying for the unreached people groups around the Nigeria, seeking God's mercy and the spread of the gospel among them. 


1 Timothy 2:1-6, 8

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people — for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 


This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. ...
 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.”


Jeremiah 29:7

“Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”


Prayer

Lord, we are here to stand in the gap for our country Nigeria before you. We confess our sin of putting our own will above Yours, which You have laid out in Your Word. Forgive us for losing sight of being Your body to the world. Purify our hearts. We pray for a national revival and spiritual healing. Please heal our land. We pray for Your peace and blessing to be poured out upon our nation according to Your mercy.
