The event of the past few days was a rude awakening.  As Christians we should be more prayerful for the leaderships of the numerous nations of the world.

As our opening scriptures says, “supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men…and for all in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life…(1 Timothy 2:1-2)

Which means that praying for others is actually for your benefit – so that you can lead a quiet and Peaceable life!

We will pray according to the laid down protocol in the verses. 

Let us Pray:

1 Supplication: Is an act of worship when we humbly ask God for help.

1b. ABBA Father,  we acknowledge that you rule over the nations of the world, and as our King and our God, we ask that your mercy continues to prevail over judgment. 

2 Prayers: is the divinely approved means of communicating with God who is Spirit.

2b Father God,  we present the nations of the world before you, especially our Nation of citizenship and our nation of residence.

2c We stand against violence, politically motivated killings, and command the stop of these evils. 

2d. We command to be destroyed at once, all evil structures/systems put together to cause unrest, fears and increase hateful behaviors. 

2e Have your way O God. And let the tokens of liars be frustrated: Roll away our reproaches and establish your righteous standards once again.

3. Intercession: involves praying for others.

3a We lift up our political, religious,  and business leaders: and ask O God that you call them to order, so that the fear of God and not selfish gains will be their motivation. 

3b We pray for humanity, and ask that your kingdom come, and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, to your glory and praise.

3c We pray for the numerous hostages, their families and their captors, that you visit them as appropriate.

3d We pray for the families of those who died due to political and religious violence, and ask that you help them process their griefs appropriately.

3e  Maranatha! Come quickly Lord. 

4 Thanksgiving: involves the expression of gratitude to God.

4b. We are deeply grateful 🙏🏽 O! God, that you did not allow our nation to degenerate to chaos, and anarchy, when you caused the bullet to miss a presidential candidate. 

4c. We are also thankful that you are using this event to call to order, the various political groups and to restrain their excesses.

4d. Thank you Father that the winner of the forthcoming elections will be aligned to your will and purposes of the nations.

4e. Help us God to live above the economic, political and religious dictates of this present evil world, enabling us by your grace to be light and salt here, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️
